I think what caught my attention most and why I ask the way I did, is Romick didn't appear to take advantage of the 2009 rebound like many others did. Don't get me wrong, it's a good fund to get into and I plan to. I guess when I compared APPLX to…
Thanks Scott, makes sense. I'll do some research on these.
By the way, do you have any thoughts on APPLX? Note, I was thinking I would trade off some of FPACX for APPLX. Maybe 5% each. Not sure yet.
Hi Scott,
Thanks for all the recommendations. First a couple unfortunate things.
The Vanguard Brokerage Option I have unfortunately does not allow me into some of these funds. First Eagle Overseas (although taking a quick look at it, looks right…
I'm beginning to realize how hard it is to find those types of managers, but will keep trying. Up to this point FPACX, YACKX, APPLX, DLTNX, & ARIVX are the only 5 funds that are on my short list that I feel really good about investing in where …
Maurice,
I know I'm probably asking too much right now :)
I think I'm just feeling very frustrated when I look at my 401K and that it's only earned about 1% annually for the past decade. It's made me really want to take control of my investment…
All, thanks for the other Fund/ETF mentions. I'll look into all these.

Sorry, let me clarify my meaning of low risk. Looking strictly at DEM for instance, say compared to many other Emerging Markets Funds, it is much lower risk but still shown to obtain high returns. Good comparison is DEM vs. WAEMX which is much hig…
Thanks Scott for the feedback. These are the things I was looking for which I don't understand yet. Again, I'm really brand new to investing. So I'm taking a lot in right now, and feeling a bit overwhelmed and unsure about my decisions. So I app…
My 401K is through Vanguard and with my company I'm limited in investing no more than 50% of my 401K in their VBO (brokerage option). 50% or more has to be in funds that my company has set up with with Vanguard. Most notably VINIX, VIEIX, VEMIX, V…
Right, and I'm not looking at YTD results either. The big question is as you said Mike when will financials rally. I'm looking at what funds can I get into that have the best chance to excel in the next 1-5yrs. going forward. And I don't want to…
