I really had to chuckle at the mutual fund CEO who was on CNBC yesterday
an all time classic

last week someone was on CNBC talking about poor performing funds
said that Fund X was the worst of the worst

so the CEO came on to rebut

to paraphrase:

CNBC: what do you have to say about your fund losing 95% and being the worst?
CEO: I disagree we are the worst but in any event we are going to be terrific going forward

CNBC: why did you do so poorly?
CEO: we were in the wrong stocks at the wrong time

CNBC: your expense ratio was 40% of assets
CEO: that was a function of fund size; our assets had fallen to 100K, now we have got in new money and the fund has grown to 500K; so the expense ratio is down to just 10%; going forward as our performance improves dramatically and we add assets and the ratio should fall to 1%

CNBC: what about the comment you hired new fund manager only 20 years old with no experiance?
CEO: again, not true; he is over 21 years old, going on 22 and he had many months experiance

CNBC: how are you going to improve performance?
CEO: be in the right stocks at the right time

CNBC: so you feel good about the future for your fund?
CEO: yes

CNBC: thank you
