I have read comments on this message board on why Meridian Growth fund is down so much to why I need to sell and other negative comments.My point is you have to research the history of this fund.An example Kiplinger finance and magazine showed returns over the last 20 years this fund has averaged around 14% in which for the long term this a outstanding stock fund for the long haul.Sure I will admit the fund is suffering a down turn at the present time but history says this fund will bounce back as in the past it has been rated as one of the best midcap growth funds.I plan to buy more shares because because MERDX IS CLEARLY ON SALE BUY NOW DONT SELL.
