Yet Forester Value was the only one to end 2008 in the black — even if just by 0.4%.

“Most mutual funds have the ability to do what I did,” Mr. Forester told me on Monday. “It’s just that nobody does it. Somebody ought to be watching the downside once in a while.”

He’s right. Let it be said that 2008 was the year America’s fund management industry was tested and found lacking. The typical mutual fund, as we know it, is a failure.

Looks like _some_ folks don’t need subsidies :p

That's about right for the 10% that own 85% of all stocks in America. Speaking of "subsidies" (ain't that a nice word?), look at this: http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/favorfactory/favorfactory_2008/ From Libertarian to a gated community Marxist.
