[edit] Morningstar Rating Wrong

For the record, the overall Morningstar rating for this fund is now 2-stars (only the 3-year rating is 1-star -- the 5-year rating is now 2-stars). I don't understand enough about this stuff to edit it... but someone probably should. Also, the language of the article seems rather biased. The fund's performance hasn't been very poor... it has outperformed the S&P 500 historically and has made initial investors money. 68.9.253.26 02:42, 17 January 2007 (UTC)Josh

I agree. The wording in this article reveals a strong bias of the author against this company. That's utterly inappropriate for a wikipedia article. Examples: "There may be a good explanation for this fund's poor performance, but it will need to be a good one to consider buying into this offering." That shouldn't be in an encyclopedia. Furthermore, User Josh (above) is correct: the Morningstar rating listed here is wrong[1] [2]. Morningstar gives it a 2 star rating and a risk rating of "above average." That does not mean "that compared with other funds in its category, it has historically generated awful returns given the amount of risk it has taken on." Substantial re-write to remove NPOV bias is needed. 66.17.118.195 20:41, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I hopefully made some of the language more neutral and added some references, but several additional citations are needed. Mike Linksvayer (talk) 03:13, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
