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.
An example of a fund that started with a great track record, and then the manager got too clever for his own good ( and his shareholders suffered the consequences).
I do believe AIG and BAC will probably do ok in the next 3 years (I actually own them) so I would hold this fund for awhile if I had a gain. If no gain why not take the loss and buy those two stocks. Still I can't imagine investing in such a non-diversified fund . Its not why I Invest in funds.
Different strokes for different folks Jerry. I have a preference for concentrated funds - hiring managers for their best ideas and not grabbing a bunch of space fillers in the name of diversification. Mr. Berkowitz has proven his abilities over time if you stuck with him. He's right more often than wrong.
However, having said all that, I was an early adopter of his fund but recently sold off a huge chunk of it. In my mind he has started to get a little too wacky in his style, management and selections so I switched over to the high priest of concentration Mr. Buffett.
