It’s very nice of you post the M* fund manager picks for 2007 but I’m one of those guys who looks back to see how previous years turned out. Google immediately turns up the 2005 picks at

and if you look at the “recommendations”, you see little evidence of their value in the following years. First number is performance relative to benchmark in 2006, second in 2007

SLASX -0.6% -0.7%
NYVTX -0.7% -0.5%
MWTRX +2.7% -0.7%
ICEUX -2.0% +0.4%

power to pardon

By the time the telecoms go to trial for bugging us all on behalf of the cryptofascists, Dubya will be out of office. I find it impossible to imagine that Huckabee has a chance. 20 straight years of Bubbas in the White House has to mean we are living in some alternate universe.
