You would throw cold water on that idea, wouldn't you? Of course you are right: I recently stopped contributing to Janus 20 because every month I put in $1000 and at the end of every month my $1000 was worth considerably less. And of course they hold some of the very stocks I might choose. I didn't sell the funds I have...but who knows maybe I should have. But with the new money going into MMF at least it doesn't erode every month. So I know what you mean....I wonder how the funds that are doing ok in this market do it? How do they choose? (They don't go up as much in up markets but still go up and if you put x dollars into Oakmark Select five years ago and x dollars into Janus 20, you were up wonderfully and now would actually be below what you put in in Janus and still up with Oakmark. So I guess the answer is when things go up and up and up you have to start selling at least a little at a time.Janus 20's philosophy is buy and hold and Oakmark's is sell when the share price reaches their target ) So I don't know. Back to square one, right? Freeus
