The Firsthand managers have told me that they have read TRFM. This is their G&K fund. I wish they would stick to TRFM a little more closely, but they through in some non-GG companies just because they are the leader in a certain space. I mainly suggest it to family and friends who don't have, or won't take, the time to do what we do on this thread. At least you know the managers have a "Leaders" (GG)perspective. Some tech funds shift their focus from sector to sector and you never know what you might hold.
