Re: Proposals to Allocate CASH in Roth IRA cgin131  06-25-2008, 11:57 AM | Post #2532380

Thanks for the 2nd on Limoman's suggested portfolio!!

Is it CGMfX or CGMrX? I see both in the post. What are your thoughts on these comments on PRPFX: "Nobody should be investing in this fund.  Since the fund's inception in 1982 through 2002, the fund had a 20-year annualized return of about 4% - effectively a zero real return after inflation.  You could have gotten more out of CDs or zero coupon bonds.  The fund simply never made any money.  It's only during the recent spike in gold prices that the fund has done anything interesting", "the attention this fund gets when the market goes south is amazing... as is the expense ratio when you consider that there is no manager asset allocation... you are paying him essentially to pick a few stocks and hold your cash", "PRPFX is essentially a static mix of gold, silver, foreign and domestic bonds and a few stocks". Any thoughts on GLBLX? The new global fund from Leuthold?
