Hello
I was going t o reply to Greyhawk in 789 but thought this
deserved its own topic.
In note 789 Greyhaawk states that he is looking at two 'microcap'
funds for a growth rate of 18-20% year over the next 10 years.
This is quite a different way of looking at funds as a specific
and narrow earnings range objective is stated together with risk
level.
I'm interested to know how this type of assesment is made.
Thanks
Malcolm

Malcolm -
Basically I invest at a return vs. risk level. I regard
microcaps as very high risk (you can get hammered quick, and most
funds I've looked at have at least one stock in the past 12 months
that went from worth something to worth nothing). So High risk must
give me high returns over time.
Since I'm looking at 18% average over a 10 year period,
I figure it is a reasonable call. I will hold this fund 10 years,
I just don't want to get creamed in the end. Considering one can get
8% from a bond fund today, this seems more than reasonable. Just
looking for ideas, suggestions, and anything that makes me think
more.
Thanks.
