Where the Federal governmentâs charter school program went wrong
The program gives millions to schools that disrupt rather than improve a system of public education that needs to serve all students.
From the outset, charter schools were somewhat of a blind manâs elephantâpeople saw in them whatever they wantedâbut two competing theories that helped propel the charter movement were that the schools would serve as laboratories for experimenting with new education approaches that could be shared with public school districts, or that charters were created to disrupt the public school system by giving parents an alternative to district-run schools.
Why you should worry about the flood of new cash into U.S. stock funds MarketWatch 1 hr ago
MARK HULBERT
U.S. stock funds now are riding a river of new cash from investors and that is not a bullish sign.
Many investors might see this differently that a huge influx of cash is positive. In fact, fund flows are a contrarian indicator: the U.S. stock market in the past has performed better when there is a net outflow of cash.
The evidence is summarized in the chart below, which plots net inflows of cash to U.S. stock funds (both open-end and exchange-traded funds) by year over the past decade. Notice that in all but two of the years since 2010 there have been net outflows.
