| US Stocks By John Schroy, on May 31st, 2006 |  Leave a comment  The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, by discouraging companies to go public, will exacerbate the shortage of equities, with a negative effect on the US stock market, although this was not the intent of its authors. Poorly drafted, ill-conceived, and unfair this law does little to protect investors.

The famous Morningstar ’star’ rating system is based on ‘total return’, in this case ‘risk-adjusted total return’ relative to funds of the same asset category. A general’s stars are a clear indication of rank. People presume that ‘five stars’ are better than ‘three stars’, just as they presume that a ‘five star general’ is higher ranked than a ‘three star general’.
