Nah, I just pick fund managers that make big bucks for me. Which
incidentally, many financial advisers make money that way. All they do
is pick a bunch of mutual funds for their clients. What an easy way to
make money.

Well, I got hurt by some of my REIT holdings last year. I sold out
last year. If I get back into some real estate, I'm going to stick
with Heebner's real estate fund CGMRX, which incidentally is killing
the market again this year. CGMFX is up 13.9% YTD. CGMRX is up
12.3%.
