>> Contrast this with the hedge fund industry where most managers are REQUIRED to purchase a certain minimum percentage of their fund. But aren't there restrictions about selling hedge fund shares? I was under the impression that they were regulated to be illiquid. uf

MM, The key is defining trading and investing. When I managed funds, I kept all of my money in the ones I managed. But I didn't trade in and out of them, just in. What constitutes trading/timing in funds? Some say 90 days, some say 30. I think a % move should be used to temper these set rules. If a fund moves up or down some %, 10 or 15 would be significant in my book, then anyone who trades out or back in should not be tagged as timers. Also, you get a lot of overlap between market timers and asset allocators. An asset allocator is simply a timer who takes a long time to make up his mind. <G>
