Investing is a process composed of many elements. Unfortunately, many investors simply skip some of the elements because of lack of education or simple naivety. Web sites, books, and individual fund pickers that don't address the other critical elements of the process only exacerbate the problem.

Many so called "Investment" books and web sites probably should be renamed with the term "fund picking" or "stock picking" because they either briefly address or skip entirely critical elements of the process. In fact, fund selection is likely to be one of the least important elements of investing for many investors.
