Investment ideas
-----------------------------------------

1. INVESTMENT IDEAS
Lost illusions
Wall Street's coming-of-age of investment theory

The real world doesn't always behave as expected. Law school graduates
are familiar with the expression which says, "'A' students become judges.
'B' Students become lawyers. 'C' students become rich."

The same could be said of the investment field.

Indeed, people in every walk of life have their own stories about how the
real-world methods of functioning often fail to follow theoretical ideas
about the way things ought to be done.

2. INVESTMENT IDEAS
Top picks for 2002
Winning stocks will be switch-hitters and versatile utility players

By Robert Maltbie, Jr., CFA

Flexibility and style diversification will be key in 2002.  Given that
we expect major market averages to fluctuate by plus or minus
10%, stocks that beat those averages will have to offer a great deal
of weapons. Therefore, we are focusing on 10 stocks that we
believe will thrive across a broad range of styles, including growth,
value, and international. To smash the averages this year, we have
selected growth stocks that have outstanding earnings visibility and
dominant market positions, and value stocks with top, highly
disciplined management teams. We also offer investors a couple of
short ideas where heavy debt loads and technological obsolesce
will be too onerous to allow them to succeed.

Gold Funds Become Buried Treasure

returning a negative 2.39% and breaking a five-week positive trend.
This made them the worst performers of the equity universe.  Read the
latest from Lipper Inc. as they compare the performance of natural
resources to equities.
