O'Shaughnessy Funds rose to MFO's "Upper" Family Rating this past month, which is good to see. All its 5 funds have fared very well against their competition this past year.

Since inception Hussman funds have been one of great destroyers of capital in the mutual fund industry, except for the fees they generate, which are currently as high as 2% per year. And even still, they maintain an AUM of $600M. Can you believe that?

@Charles
One could almost think, that these funds are part of a long term study of human psychological tendencies, knowledge and clear thinking relative to investing, as compared to sheep; and that one can anticipate the release of a 500 page book detailing the long term findings.
I will presume that some of the investors may actually be dead and that their estates have not yet sorted the facts and discoveries.
Take care,
