Scott: Re Janus 20
Notice all ten of the top holdings are well-known big-caps that I have suggested investors avoid.
Avoid because of the billions of shares already owned by institutions who do not have to buy any more from the public because they have plenty if not a surplus to trade and to make money on options.
This is a case of the funds fighting each other over the equity value left in the market when money is not flowing in to support their trading costs . The brick of cheese is diminishing as it gets eaten away.
A losing situation for most , since a diversified fund having to deal with 10 or 30 stocks
is at a big disavantage when dealing with experts who specialize in each of the different issues.
The "prudent man" requirement of the SEC demands that funds diversify which means they will have losers that cancel out the winners.
Prudent investors should avoid them (G)
