Ted,
The syntax is somewhat problematic. Are you saying that you are taking a favorable view of VUSTX and are considering investing in it? Th…
Dan's newsletter states clearly that VHCOX and POAGX are closed. He recommends Primecap Odyssey Growth (POGRX) instead. The misunderstanding (or misstatement, if you will) probably lies with the person who wrote the article.
@cman: Point well taken. We have already seen significant disruption of cyberspace security with the hacking of data from Target; reportedly, that originated in Russia. When one spent the first 40 years of his life in the specter of "the Cold War," …

When one queries the Zacks' Internet site about a particular mutual fund, a current "rank" is provided for that fund (e.g., 1 = strong buy; 3 = hold; 5 = strong sell). Their Web site states that the ranking system is a "short-term system designed to…
