hi Jack: Somewhere I saw an explanation of FAMCK vs FAMCA: I think there were a bunch of voting shares that were privately held, and a bunch of shares that were non-voting and publicly held. The latter is FAMCK. I don't know if rates are going up....(I'm so confused!!) I never though they'd go this low...but Dr Ed Yardeni thinks they could go a lot lower, down to 4%. He's been scary right in the past and I'd rather buy a bit now of something that's hedged. The investments in foreign utilities and REITs should make the NAV go up with time. Go ahead, accuse me of panic buying. Utility companies will be hit with the same merger fever that hit banks so I'm not sure the fund will decline if interest rates go up. The pensions all use utility stocks as core holdings. Franklin has two funds, FMI and FT, that invest in a portfolio of utilities and corporate bonds and spit out an 8% dividend.
