You may remember, back in the good old day's of the booming
stock market, that Barron was all hyped up about retires
and ski resorts and was heavy into prediction of future
trends..Oh well, guessed wrong...I bought into it to..I
think the first and formost objective of most investers is
to find a fund thats primary goal is capital preservation.Stick with them as long as that objective is in play...In a bad market you will still loose money, but not
as bad or as deep as funds like barron( looking for trends)
