That is absolutely incredible. Are the people at Forbes serious, or were they thinking it was April Fools' Day? TE as the one best idea of one of the other pickers is also odd. Its chart doesn't suggest it's grossly overbought, and it has the dividend for protection. RIMM is actually a more plausible short, except today. (Don't own TE, and I concede Merrill Lynch thinks the dividend may be in danger.)

I remember The Mathers Fund from the crash of '87; they were heroes, they'd been in cash and lost less than anyone else... I followed them for a little while... and they just stayed in cash all through the recovery. I guess Gabelli bought them, although why anyone would buy this record is astounding; talk about wealth destruction over a long time (and during a period when market returns were extremely lush!!): finance.yahoo.com
