M* Popularity and sector funds

Checked Morningstar this morning and saw that FBIOX was back on their list of popular fund quotes. While the appearance and disappearance of broad funds from this list is often of mild to no interest to me. Might the fact that certain sector funds appear here almost act like the AAII investor sentiment poll as a bit of a contrarian indicator?

  • Certainly @Ted, I last noticed this in late January when I was concerned about local valuations and switched from FBIOX to PRHSX in an attempt to lower future volatility. I'll be curious to see what happens, staying put in PRHSX for a while. Also interesting the breakdown from Quotes to Analyses. Especially as that perhaps reflects on investor type
