Fellow BEARX sufferers - I thought you'd get a kick out of this:
Notice which fund is expected to gain the most. Hopefully Tice won't loose all my money before his fund turns around! :)

Hot Funds Hot Line, February 3, 1999, 7 p.m.
Good news for the market today: the Federal Reserve elected not to switch gears and push interest rates higher. In response, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose nearly 100 points. Once gain, though, the broad market failed to follow through. The average issue on the New York Stock Exchange rose the equivalent of only a dozen Dow points.
The stock market's breadth remains exceedingly narrow, with a handful of very large-cap stocks, technology issues, and Internet flyers attracting nearly all of the net demand. The broad mass of stocks and the majority of mutual funds are either marking time or drifting lower.
