Legg Mason Value Trust (LMVTX)
Think about this one as a proxy for Berkshire Hathaway.
In fact BRK is a component of LMVTX, by way of the General Re deal.
William Miller runs this 6 Bil ship like Buffett.
He buys monopolies at bargain prices and then holds forever.
He's more computer-oriented than Buffett, too.
Here are the top holdings:
DELL,AOL,FNM,CPQ,CMB,C,MO WCOM,STK,BRK,KRB,KR,AMGN.
LMVTX has averaged 19.7% a year for 15 years.
Gains for the last 3 years have been more spectacular since
DELL,AOL, and CPQ have caught fire.

As Buffett said: Ignore Mr. Market and you'll do fine. That's what some of us should do - perhaps except in Techstocks - or may be as well?
