Label-whoring toothpaste is pitiful. If they sold it in a white box with a blue stripe (a la Repo Man) I'd be all over that.

As John Bogle has shown, most people are best off putting their assets into no-load index funds and focusing instead on building wealth through their work or cutting their expenses. Chasing excess returns is like believing you have a system to beat the slot machines. Is this an investment analogy?
