Bonnie; I just sold FUND not long ago, it turned out not to be
as global as I thought it was, I visited the Royce home page,
& they seemed to have shifted FUND to U.S. stocks and are doing the momogogo thing.
The CEs in general haven't been going any where.
I picked 23 of the best looking ones I could find on May 4th,
and put them in a paper portfolio and as a group they are
down 4.13% , but some TMA, CMO, RWT have all taken big hits,
the gainers are few, and nothing to brag about.

This is a depressed sector. On top of that many of them are
doing well NAV wise..but nobody is buying the fund, the discount
gets larger , but the stocks keep falling.

Bonnie; The Tech sector is getting the money right now..
BUT most of the BLUE CHIPS that were not tech seemed to have
topped and started down today.
If it were not for MSFT, INTC, CSCO, WCOM, & T, today the S&P would
have dropped big time, them 5 are all that really held it up.
