Vinik Quits

NPR's Jim Zarroli reports on today's resignation of Jeffrey Vinik, the controversial head of the nation's largest mutual fund, Fidelity Investment's Magellan Fund. Vinik has come under fire for making a losing bet on U.S. Treasury bonds -- a decision that has lately made Magellan one of the worst performing stock funds.
