<description><![CDATA[I have to think that with all of the easy money the fed is creating that this fund has excellent short and long term prospects.   I think the dollar's day's are over.   EVen at today's depressed price, after figuring in dividend distribution this index is up something like 1/3 over the last 20 months.   From its current 25 price, I suspect it will double over the next four years. I have had a large chunk of my 401 k in this for years.   I know when I come for the money in 20 years it will likely have grown by a factor of 5 from where it is today.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[My 401k balance related to this fund dropped 15% the day of the dividend and has not bounced back yet- I will call next them next week but is anyone else having this issue?   It seems like my 401k would have recieved the dividend and it should not have impacted the balance?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Yes, fund went x-div.   Many funds have been cleaning house and year-end distributions (for those funds that did not lose their back side) are higher than typical (e.g. 10% cap gain dist this year).   Tax mgmt had to take a back-seat.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[JP - you go!   I hope you are still invested heavily.   Unlike many funds, this fund is not focused on any one region or industry.   There is a large amount of diversification already in it.   Of course, the fund manager "style" creates a little concentration of sorts for you but you are OK.   I try to keep it to under 25% myself, that way if this fund takes a big hit, I can double up.   The world market is a great place to invest for the long term.   The U.S. market has had a great run up but I would argue that investing in several U.S. funds or stocks would by some definitions have more inherent concentration than this one fund and more down side.]]></description>
