Name the fund - Mountains !!!

edited August 2014 in Off-Topic
Been a while. Accidently saw this. What is most intriguing is that perf chart looks like drawing 4 year old will draw. It has Mountains. Sun between mountains and some small "r"s for birds above are missing.

    No actually, and unless I'm mistaken this fund was discussed on FA and MFO. Chart is for 10 years.
  • Looks a lot like BIRMX.
  • Well, at first I saw the London Bridge on the Thames, but now that I've had a couple Dews, yeah, I'm seeing the mountains VF is seeing.

    My guess is its the perf chart for the Ushba Pinnacle Retirement Fund, named after Mt. Ushba, the most beautiful and dangerous peak in the Caucasus Mtns. One of the rare twin-peaked mountains I know to have each peak almost symmetrical to the other (both are higher than any mtn in the continental US), with a deep cleft between, only experienced mountaineers attempt the ascent and yet many of them fall to their doom every season. The meaning of the name is unclear, dating back to at least 400 B.C., pre-Jason & the Argonauts, not even by the Sventavi folks living in the high foothills on the Georgian side (who speak a dialect fellow Georgians living less than 100 km away don't understand .... anymore than they understand this fund's performance).

    I have a pic of Ushba Peak but saved it as a jpg, not the original url. So you'll have to take my word for it. Or.... follow this guy up North Ushba and see for yourself:

    You got it. No real mountains to ski on near the Oasis...

    I'm sorry, but I hope those to fall to their death trying do not leave and dear one's behind. Spirit of adventure is one thing, this is another. There is difference between Wright brothers trying to fly a plane and someone jumping off a building.
