FYI: The phones rang a lot more than usual this summer at Biondo Group LLC, the small Pennsylvania investment firm tucked away near the Delaware Water Gap and the foothills of the Pocono Mountains. That's what happens when one of your funds starts putting up numbers like these: a 56 percent gain last year and 17 percent so far this year, both in the vicinity of double the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The results make the $35 million Biondo Focus Fund (BFONX) the top performer this year among 104 long-short U.S. equity mutual funds tracked by Bloomberg Regards, Ted http://www.investmentnews.com/article/20140912/FREE/140919967?template=printart
