Q&A With Barry James,Co- Manager, James Balanced Golden Rainbow Fund
FYI: (Click On Article Title Top Of Googel Search)
Barry James knows about managing risk.
In 2008, when the Standard & Poor's 500 lost 37%, the James Balanced Golden Rainbow Fund (ticker: GLRBX ) lost just 5.5%.
Yet James isn't just good in a crisis. His fund, which garners a five-star rating from Morningstar, has consistently outperformed its peers and is in the top percentile of its category for the past decade. In the past 15 years, the fund returned an annualized 6.5%, compared with 5% for the S&P 500.
I have been in this one forever, almost, but never enough. Partly cuz I could not get into BERIX and MAPOX, also superb. But over time I ain't complainin'.

The fact that the two of you agree on something is good enough for me...follow the rainbow.
