Dumping units or shares in favor of CDs would have been damned insightful in mid-July. Not so much if in the last couple of days.

With regard to fees and loads - I always figured they'd get theirs. The important thing is to ask enough questions that you really understand and accept the fee schedule before you buy. And there's nothing at all wrong with shopping your investments around. I've never had them try to hide anything if I asked specific questions. Mutual fund companies sell a service, they're nothing without customers.
