Sunday NYT article about mutual funds, fees and future perfomance

In today's Sunday New York Times there's an article citing some new research from Morningstar regarding a fund's fees and how it relates to a fund's future performance. There seems to be a strong correlation between low fees and higher future performance.
Rules of the Fund Road: Watch the Fees, and Don't Look Back
written by Jeff Sommer.
Here's a quote from Russel Kinnel, the director of fund research at Morningstar: "I've found that low cost is the best single predictor of subsequent performance available. It's definitely not past performance."
Here's the article:

There's a decided preference for Vanguard in the MMM community (for a whole lot of excellent reasons) and here's just some more fodder for that discussion.

Nothing new here, but this is the most important rule of investing. And I fully support shouting it from the rooftops at every opportunity.
Thanks for sharing.

Solid article. Wish every investor understood that this simplest method of investing is also the most likely to be profitable.
Thanks for sharing.

Is anyone looking at Schwab's low cost ETF's?
Thanks for the article.
