A note on the American century (not what you think)

[Greg Nowell]

PMS's questions about money markets made me remember an
account I had years ago with the 20th century fund (my
experiences with them were fine, I stopped doing
business with them when I ran out of money).    I've
looked them up and they are no longer the 20th
Century.  They are the "American Century" group.

I think it would have showed less hubris to go for
"21st Century."  It seems likely we'll make it to the
next century.  It does not seem likely that the century
will be American.  I mean, what about investing in a
"British Century" fund in 1898?  Yow!
