Great Job -
underperforming today's rally - AGAIN, AGTHX has been underperforming this rally the past two weeks, everyday. This fund is a bust; I am getting out. An index fund could do better and not cost as much $.

Unfortuantely, this fund is a big box holder and is now only offering two good picks out of the ten top holdings. What a shame AF continues to retain such a losing analyst. My assumption is AGTHX of the future is now of the past. Time to move on myself...

This fund has a very solid top ten stocks, over 20% in it's portfolio. This alone guarantees success. I'd think twice about an index fund, as when this fund grows, it will grow in leaps & bounds and no index fund will come close to mirroring it's return.
