Bill, Odd you should mention the New Era. I remember when T. Rowe Price brought out a fund with that name because the new era would demand a different concentration of investments. Their New Era fund concentrated in resource stocks. What a deal that has been. <g> The really odd thing was that it didn't do especially well in any market environment, even when resource stocks went up. One of my old firm, Waddell & Reed, has been a master at rechristening old funds at exactly the wrong time. Thus, the venerable United Science Fund became Science and Energy in the early 1980s. We should take heart from the fact that it is now called Science and Technology. As long as it isn't Science and Long Puts, I'm happy. <g> Go ahead and have a glass of punch. I know that Alan Greenjeans should have removed the punch bowl by now, but he was too busy spiking it with high lead bathtub gin. MB
