<description><![CDATA[That's good to hear.   I am almost at the break even point on this fund that I started buying into in September and continued to buy as it hit its lows in the 40s.   Actually, with tax deduction for this year's contribution I am ahead.   Holding off on putting more in right now as I think we will have some sort of market pull back this summer.   Whatever the case, this fund holds quality and quality never goes out of style.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Add my two cents, many months after this thread started.   Here we are at the culmination of the credit crisis (we hope) and a deeper recession looming.   Moved some of my IRA into this the other day and plan to deploy fresh money when I can make next year's contributions.   I own P&G outright, this is my kind of fund for all times.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[looking at this as a defensive holding
while the general US and the global markets pinned to US consumers is sinking....

today - the asian markets took a beating, since the US economy is in trouble, the foreign companies may not have the US as a growing market for their exports.

looking for a defensive tactic - and the "staples" seem like a good move.   comparing all my mutual funds watch list, this was down the least compared to asia, latin america, etc]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It seems to me that a fund such as this one (FDFAX) would give you peace of mind and almost be like money in the bank.   The types of companies that this fund invests in are the types of companies that the average consumer cannot live without.   Companies such as Procter & Gamble, Coke, Pepsi, Altria.   Not only do this companies have bullet-proof brands, but some sell products that can cause the consumer to become addicted to it (nicotine, caffeine).   I don't condone people to drink sugared water, or smoke, but if people will do it regardless why then not profit from it?

There are some stocks and mutual funds out there that can cause an investor to lose money when averaging down in price.   For example, the investor that decided to average down on JDSU in 2001 or on Enron back in the day.   This fund, however, I would not think twice about buying if beaten down in a bad market, because of the rock-solid companies that it invests in.]]></description>
