John Waggoner: Best Performing Funds Since '87 Crash

FYI: If you started saving 30 years ago, you got a quick education in the worst Mr. Market can dish out. The Dow Jones industrial average plunged 508 points, or 22.61%, the worst one-day crash in history. Those who weren’t scared out of the stock market have done well: The Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index has gained an average 9.59% since then. But a few funds have done exceptionally well and are being run by the same management team today. Here are the stock funds that have done the best since Wall Street’s darkest day.

  • I owned Heartland Value for a good portion of the '90s and eventually gave up on it during the dotcom bubble. I guess that was a mistake...
  • boy, the args against being in SP500 are weak, aren't they
