From what I gather, fund managers buy research from some source, perhaps within the same fund family as happens at Janus Funds or Fidelity or perhaps a separate company. Either way the fund has to pay for the research it uses. The research is typically very mechanical and based on sifting thru data and applying proven screens for finding candidates that are acceptable to the fund based the funds articles of incorporation and prospectus. They may add interviews, but that gets factored into the screens. The data they're sifting is probably fundamental, but the process is technical. So whether Ralph or any of his cohorts recognize it or not, they're applying TA. Now how's that for a convolution that Mr. Wanger never intended?! :-) re: "No mutual fund manager who relies on market timing has kept his job for fifteen years."... what a safe statement! The argument is inapplicable to any manager that used TA who lasted more or less than 15 years, but not exactly fifteen years. This guy must have spent a few years writing advertising copy! Yeah, I think door stops... in someone elses house! :-) Bruce
