I have been with First Hand since 1999, I definitely purchased this fund at the wrong time, yes I was one of the unfortunate people who looked at Mr. Kevin Landis gains for a short period of time, BIG MISTAKE on my part. Mr. Landis and his entire stock advisory team need to be fired, the only hope I see is Firsthand is purchased by another mutual fund family. Neither he or his advisors could pick a profitable investment if it fell into their laps. Look at some of the terrible companies Mr. Landis continues to hold in Firsthand Tech. Value,
CYPRESS SEMICONDUCTOR CY 10.15 -34.47
Nintendo Company, Ltd. ADR N/A 8.44 -12.67

WOW now that's inpressive GUY, I'm personally still down 50% from when I first purchased this fund in 1999. I only will be holding for a short period now, because I will need to off set the gains I have made in energy investments. The name of this fund is Tech. Value technology is used to drill and find OIL not to mention refining. Question did Mr. Landis or all the sharp people at Firsthand ever think of actually making money for the fund clients and possible investing in a company that is making money NOW, or just happy charging 1.99 % Fee's. Ever since loosing money with MR. Landis I have taken it upon my self to do my own do diligence, before investing and I have done pretty GOOD since 1999. Please forward this letter to Mr. Landis and crew from a very DISHEARTEN FIRSTHAND INVESTOR and tell them if they would like some FREE advise on stock picking and how to bring this company back from the dead to call me.
