Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: Growth stock mutual funds have lagged value and core funds, which invest in both growth and value stocks, over the past 15 years. That's largely because of growth mutual funds' sharp decline in the dot-com bear market of 2000-02.
Look how an investment of $10,000 on Dec. 31, 1999, would have done in each type of fund, according to Morningstar data. The average value fund's account would have swollen to $27,063 by Jan. 13 this year. Regards, Ted http://license.icopyright.net/user/viewFreeUse.act?fuid=MTg4NDc1ODU=
