This is a very bad week for stocks. In the last five days, DJIA
lost 400.61 points, or 4.48%

How about the select funds? Which funds did better than DJIA and
which funds did worse than DJIA?

I have not done a thorough study. However, I made a simple
comparison of DJIA with FSTCX, FSELX, and FSESX.

FSTCX is a market risk strong fund. It lost 1.71% this week, or
2.77% less than Dow's decline.
FSELX is a high risk strong fund. It lost 5.44% this week, or
0.96% more than Dow's decline.
FSESX is a very high risk weak fund. It lost 12.78% this week,
or 8.30% more than Dow's decline.

Based on this simple exercise, it appears that lower risk strong
funds are better holdings.
