<description><![CDATA[Looking at it again, vs. the S&P500, it has been exactly flat over the last 12 months but quite a bit less volatile (with one short but big exception blip down in August).   So I guess it's doing kind of what it should (protect against bear markets); but I would have hoped that being long on Schwab higher rated stocks and short on lower rated ones would have have given it an overall advantage.       So it seems to say the ratings are marginally effective.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Since new year, this fund is finally beating the S&P500 and Nasdaq by a reasonable amount.   The exact opposite of 4Q07.   

Check out <a href=http://finance.yahoo.com/q/tat=6m&s=SWHIX&l=on&z=m&q=l&c=&c=%5EGSPC&c=%5EIXIC&c=%5EDJI>http://finance.yahoo.com/q/tat=6m&s=SWHIX&l=on&z=m&q=l&c=&c=%5EGSPC&c=%5EIXIC&c=%5EDJI</a>

I'm glad I hung in there.   The concept seemed to make good sense (assuming you trust Schwab's equity ratings).    Frankly, I was using this fund as a proxy for how good their ratings are, in aggregate.    

But two months is still a short time.    I'm looking forward to how it does over the next year.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I've been watching it, and honestly didn't expect it to match any of the major indexes, but I was hoping that it would be a bit less volatile. That doesn't seem to be the case in the slightest, so i can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would hold those shares... My opinion only.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Yes, I agree.    I was thinking of selling a few months ago, but Schwab suggested I wait a while and see if it sorts itself out.    Many months later, it still does not match (let alone beat) S&P500 (or DJ Ind or QQQQs).    

I will give it a bit longer (as it seems like such a good concept); and then probably throw in the towel.]]></description>
