Looking at Lipper, FPPTX has an outstanding record but I think it's ridiculous to pay a 5.25% load and when this secular bear ends his performance could start lagging badly. But for those who might pay a load anyway it's been a good choice.

FPNIX in contrast I think is a miserable choice. It is consistently at or near the very bottom compared to it's peer group and the relative performance is so poor that if you paid the 3.5% front end load you might even be down over the last 3 years. The fund returned an annualized 3.29% over 3 years which was literally the worst performance in the class and compares to 7.34 for its peer group.

If somebody is so paranoid or afraid of having a losing year than they should skip the load, skip the fund and just buy insured CDs in which case they'll have a zero chance of having a losing year and they'll probably make more money.
