<description><![CDATA[For some reason, I don't get the replies and I totally forgot about this message.   I never bought it but it did recover from what I see. (but so did the whole market, so no surprises there). 
I hope you held the fund after all.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Oh yeah, I held it from the high 9's to the recent low of near 6, and at this point feel no option but to hold on and hope for the best.   Your understanding of the this fund exceeds mine, so I have no advice.   I would be interested in your view for the prospects for this fund in 2009.   I have been advised recently to hold this fund and expect some recovery in 2009.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hello.

Are you still invested in this fund? I hope you didn't hold it through the crash. I was advised to buy this fund last week.
It invests in high-quality senior corporate debt. They take positions on what is ironically called "bank loans". They are secured facilities against real assets in most cases.
However, with the carnage in the markets and the risk of bankruptcy of even well-capitalized companies, there is fear out there, which I was told is mispricing the assets.
I am not really sure about it at this point because I do know exactly know what this fund is holding, but that might be the case that it's a good buy at this level.
If you want to discuss about it, I am definitely interested in finding out more and trading opinions as i think that this might be a market imperfection that can make money securely in the long run.

Alex.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I can't find an email address to repsond to the 45 page semiannual report sent to me - so I thought I would try this.   Here's the message and question and request I would like to submit:
 
I received your semiannual report (through the end of April).   As a small investor, with about a $100k investment in this fund, I could not be more disappointed in the last 12 month performance.   I was advised by my financial advisor that this fund was one I could depend on to be resistant to volatility in the market.   That certainly has not been the case.   But my real point of this note is I get this 45 page report, and let's be honest - 99% of investors cannot make any sense of.   Here's an investor suggestion - Send out quarterly 5 page report that says what is going on and why and what can be expect in simple language.   Because after reading this report I received - I really have no clue as to what you are trying to say.   Here's what would impress me.   Have Scott Page respond to this post.   And explain the dismal performance and what can be expected in the next 6 months - in simple language.   That would impress me. It probably won't happen, but you have the post.   We'll see.   Just the gesture of the post would impress the heck out me.   (My fear is this post is going to go into some trash-can.   I noticed that the semiannual report has plenty of of telephone numbers to call.   But I have been down that route before, with no success). Some repsonse would be appreciated.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[well it seems nobody is interested in responding on this message board.   The fund has sunk to dismal levels.   Any idea on the next 12 month performance?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I have a fair amount invested in this fund.   It seems to be a good hedge against a fluctuating market.   And, it produces a decent dividend.   But I cannot figure out what factors typically postively or negatively effect the share price.   Can someone provide information or an opinion?]]></description>
