BGBLX

in Fund Discussions
After reading David's write up, I said to myself this could be a great one fund solution. Maybe I don't know enough, but I do know all of these fund write-ups make me think that is something I should buy. Not only after the fund discussions here but elsewhere as well. It would be great if the MFO started building Portfolios from the great/unique funds they have reviewed. that would be a welcome feature.

Additionally I would like to get suggestions from readers as to what they think of BBALX as a one fund solution. If not adequate by it self what would you recommend to go along with it? I was thinking of other tactical allocations which would be similar. Maybe the ones that David cited in his comparisons.

    Hi Richard, what's BGBLX? Can't find a fund by that ticker. --AJ

    @AndyJ: golub1 makes the correction BBALX in the second paragraph of his post.

    Oh okay, thanks, Ted. From the wording in that second graf ("additionally"), I'd thought BBALX was a second fund he was referring to.

    I would compare BBALX with MALOX, RPGAX, and TIBIX. They are all a bit different. RPGAX has the shortest history. The others have a 10-year record. If I were considering BBALX, I would want to see what management experience each of the current team has in a real bear market. How they did is not as important as what they learned and how they would respond to a similar time period.

    Sorry about the foul up with the Symbol heading. Thanks, Bob, good points. I did hold a load of TIBIX at one point. However it's equity holdings for most of the time I held was about 80%.
