As of Dec 31,2006, return after 10 yrs is 8.39% after taxes on distribution and sale of shares.
During this time I have paid 1190 in fees.

Bear stearns has problem with their hedge funds.
Is not it smart to get out of the market before the fire spreads ?
Answer You could do the math to reduce the returns to take into effect the fees. I am not able to calculate this since I do not know your denominator for the calculation.
I think US Saving Bonds at a local bank are a better place to be for investment. There is no commission and they pay a good yield. There is no risk in US Saving Bonds. I am not a big fan of a market that is at a record high, and would not stay in the market for long, right now.
