KT, I was looking at a Fidelity Outlook magazine/brochure - I was surprised to see that their top performing Select ( sector) fund for the past FIVE year ( average annual return of 10.07%) was Fido select GOLD. HO HO HO Mike

Jean Marie Evialliard (one of the reasons not to hate everything French) was on Wall Street Week with Fortune last night. He made great sense, as usual, and, of course, has a terrific record to back his musings. First of all, he dissed those who thought that a quick war would be the end of gold. "EET ees een a boool market." And then he moved from his gold fund to his value funds, where he is buying global competitors of US firms at half the US valuation. "Zere ees a price for everysing." Since the move of Ira Unshculd to a hedge fund, Jean Marie is probably the best fund manager in the world. Not that I'm prejudiced. I own both his Overseas and Gold fund and have many clients in the Global Fund. There are only two places where I disagree with him: 1. He likes Tyco, though he didn't talk about it last night. 2. He sounds like Pepe Le Pew. <g>

It's Sad, and more than ever I realize what I have to say doesn't influence anyone. I have relatives and friends who are so well programmed by wall streets gospel they haven't sold anything yet, ( it always goes up ,& it will recover..) I ran into one day before yesterday and he told me if it keeps going like this he will be a total welfare case by next year, yet he has no plans to sell. ( he thinks it's to late ) He's in his 70s.. -- I can't bring myself to say "I told you so" their situation is just to Sad. -- Unless we get a dramatic drop in the price of oil, It looks to me like most People will be driving their SUVs right up to the poor house doors.
