Do not buy weak funds: 1. in a poor market. 2. if the fund looks bad on all charts. 3. in the fund's bad season. FBIOX is a weak fund at this time, and a buy: 1. the current market is not a poor market. 2. the fund looks bad on many charts, but not on all charts. 3. based on past data, January is a good month, March is the bad month for FBIOX.

In a trending market of the 90's, I would buy the selects showing best 3 week performance, hold them at least 30 days, remove them as they declined off the top 5 week performance list. Include bond and money market funds and switch into them as appropriate. This is a method attributable to Pankin. I haven't used this method since 1999 when the market started down. I think that the uptrends in a bear market are amenable to this but the down drafts in a bear market are sudden and severe. This probably needs some modification to successfully trade a secular bear market. Ro.
