Best- and Worst-Performing Funds by Category Performance Benchmark Averages
The economic picture remains dour as the second quarter winds down. True, recent reports do show that residential construction rebounded last month, with housing starts and building permits increasing nicely on the strength of a strong gain in multi-family activity. However, the construction of single-family units fell, pointing to further weakness ahead in that category. What’s more, industrial production, factory use, and retail sales are weakening. Such aggregate softness suggests that the nation’s gross domestic product—which rose 0.6% in the first quarter—may flatten out or, more likely, decline modestly in the current period.

We think that more sluggishness lies ahead. First, we clearly are not out of the woods on the housing front, with still-declining home prices likely to keep many potential buyers on the sidelines. We also may see additional slippage in industrial production and factory use. On a more positive note, the now-arriving tax rebates should give retail spending a lift in the third quarter, before consumers retrench again after those monies are spent. We expect the economy to show little strength until late 2009 or even 2010. Then, there is inflation, which is heating up. Global industrialization (which
has pushed up demand for oil and gas in such countries as China and India) and food shortages around the world (in particular for wheat and corn) are driving prices higher and are largely responsible for the current flareup in inflationary pressures. As U.S. corporations seek to pass along these higher costs—along with rising prices for other goods—by pushing up prices, inflation will increase further.
The Federal Reserve’s policies are likely to be less supportive going forward. Specifically, we think the materially higher level of inflation and the likely sustainability of a very modest business upturn will prompt the Fed to vote in a series of interest rate increases later this year or in 2009.
Investors remain resilient for the most part, even with occasional sharp selloffs along the way as we saw just before Memorial Day, as they largely focus on the projected recovery in the economy down the road, rather than on the growing risks of higher inflation and interest rates. That could prove to be unwise.
Conclusion: We think that some caution is advisable after the recent runup in stock prices.

Identity Theft— Take Some Time to Safeguard Your Good Name!
THE VALUE LINE MUTUAL FUND SURVEY

s a subscriber, you spend many hours a year determining where to put your precious investible funds. This requires you to put aside all distractions, usually before or after work, so that wellthought-out decisions can be made. Identity theft, one of the fastest-growing crimes in the United States, can be a great distraction and can consume years of your time and more money than you might imagine as you work to clean up the mess if it occurs. In this case, prevention is the best protection. Here are some tips to keep your identity secure: -Protect your Social Security number. Never give it to anyone who contacts you through telephone solicitation. The same holds true for your bank account and credit card numbers. Do not provide to anyone who contacts you through telephone solicitation mother’s maiden name, spouse’s mother’s maiden name, or any other personal data being sought for verification purposes. -Make sure any online credit card charges are handled through a secure site or in an encrypted mode. -Protect your credit card receipts, especially if they list your full account numbers and expiration dates. -Buy a shredder and use it. Shred everything, especially any document that has your financial information and/or personal information that can give an identity thief your personal profile. -Monitor your credit card accounts carefully, so you’ll see if unauthorized purchases have been made. Also, close out unused credit cards. -Get your credit report once a year, since the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 requires that credit bureaus provide this to you without charge. -Never leave paid bills in your mailbox for pickup. Someone can take them and get much of your personal information from the contents.
June 3, 2008
-Have your mailslot empty into a locked door. Outside mailboxes are subject to theft. Thieves can retrieve new credit cards that have been opened in your name and address. -Any online credit card charges should be handled through a secure site or in an encrypted mode. Many years ago, the identity of one of my friends was stolen by his sibling. About sixty credit cards were opened in his name over several years. They were used with only minimum payments, and were discovered only when payments on several of the cards were mistakenly missed. It took my friend quite a few years to resolve the serious problem his sibling had created, not to mention the cost of lawyers and time off from work. Opening new credit card accounts, however, is only one of the ways an identity thief can hurt you. They can also create counterfeit checks, obtain fake driver’s licenses, purchase cars and houses, obtain medical procedures with your insurance, file tax returns, and even file bankruptcy—all under your name and identification. It is estimated that more than half a million people are victims of identity theft each year, making it one of the fastest-growing crimes in the U.S. The Federal Trade Commission, chartered with protecting America’s consumers, is the central repository for all identity theft complaints. The main Web site address is www.ftc.gov. You can file an online complaint detailing the information you have about your identity theft. This site provides useful information about a variety of consumer and borrower topics. It also contains the do-not-call registry, which helps stop telemarketers from calling you. In addition to educating yourself, you should make your children aware of this growing threat. Young people often think of themselves as invincible, and the concept of identity theft is more difficult to understand than the possibility of physical harm. Take them to the Federal Trade Commission Web site, so they can begin to protect themselves as best they can.

n general, the past year has not been kind to large-cap value funds. The (large cap) Russell 1000 Value Index declined 11.3% from April 30, 2007 to April 30, 2008. This weak performance contrasts with the results of the (large cap) Russell 1000 Growth Index, which declined just 1.4% during the same time period. This is also in contrast to the five-year period ended April 30, 2007, where the same Russell 1000 Growth Index rose a total of 28% compared with a total increase of 54.4% for the Russell 1000 Value Index. This change in relative strength should be of interest to all subscribers, since we recommend large growth be a part of every subscriber’s fund portfolio, regardless of one’s risk tolerance and time horizon. This month, we will examine several Large-Cap Value funds that we follow in the Mutual Fund Survey. Fidelity Contrafund (FCNTX) is best suited for higher-risk investors. Its main objective is capital appreciation by investing in common stocks. Although value is important to management, a prospective stock must offer more than just low valuations; it must also demonstrate a catalyst that will enhance its fundamentals. Examples of this would include new management, new product launches, dramatic cost-cutting efforts. Stocks that trade at a discount to other companies in the same industry may be bought. It also looks for stocks that have fallen out of favor with investors that are temporary. The fund has declined 6.5% in 2008, as of April 30th, outperforming both the S&P 500 and some of its peer group. Its long-term performance is also very good, outpacing both its peer group and the S&P 500 over the trailing one-, three-, five-, 10-, 15-, and 20-year periods as of April 30th, 2008. To obtain more information on this fund call (800) 522-7297, or visit the Web site at www.fidelity.com.
THE VALUE LINE MUTUAL FUND SURVEY
market conditions, management will invest at least 80% of the fund’s net assets in dividend-paying equity securities. No more than 25% of net assets may be devoted to any one industry. When selecting stocks, management uses fundamental research that accounts for numerous factors, including financial strength, management capability, growth potential, and valuations, earnings, and cash flow capabilities.

The fund has declined 1.6% for the four months ended April 30th, outperforming the S&P 500 and most of its peers. Its longterm performance is also excellent, outpacing the S&P and most of its peers for the trailing one-, three-, five-, 10-, 15-, and 20year periods. To obtain more information on this fund call (800) 262-1122 or visit the Web site at www.eatonvance.com. Investors with lower risk tolerance could look at the Seligman Large-Cap Value Fund (SLVIX). This fund’s objective is long-term capital appreciation. Management focuses on companies with market-caps of $2 billion or more at the time of purchase that it views as value opportunities. When selecting securities, management incorporates bottom-up analysis. In particular, it looks for companies trading at low price/earnings and price/ book value ratios. Management also seeks to identify shares that have fallen as a result of factors that no longer exist. The fund has lost 2.6% for the four months ended April 30th, 2008 and has outperformed the S&P 500 for the one-, three-,and five-year periods, while outpacing most of its peer group during those same timeframes. Its level of volatility is well below the objective group’s overall average. More information about this fund is available at its Web site, www.seligman.com, or you can call (800) 221-2783. Robert J. Adamski
Investors with more moderate risk tolerance may want to look at the Eaton Vance Large Cap Value A Fund (EHSTX). This fund’s main objective is long-term total return. To meet this objective, management invests in a diversified portfolio of large-capitalization, value-oriented companies. Under normal © 2008, Value Line Publishing, Inc. All rights reserved.

MANAGER RATINGS AND PEER GROUPS Full-page fund profiles in the Ratings & Reports section include Manager Ratings. In the same way that Alpha can be thought of as measuring whether a fund’s actual return is above or below its expected return based on beta, Value Line’s Manager Rating seeks to measure the “value added” (or detracted) by a manager during his or her tenure at a fund. Manager Ratings are calculated for equity funds, partial equity funds, and select fixed-income funds. Conventional fixed-income funds, however, do not have a sufficiently wide dispersion of returns to effectively distinguish a manager’s contribution from such other factors as fund expenses. The Rating represents the annualized percentage by which
the actual return was above or below the “expected” return, with the expected return determined by the risk and performance of a set of similarly managed funds, or Peers. Managers must have at least 24 months at their current fund in order to receive a rating, and in order to make fair and meaningful comparisons, Peers are defined far more narrowly, in some cases, than the broad set of Investment Objectives. Manager Rating calculations begin at the more recent of the first point at which there are five funds in a Peer group, or the start date of the manager. The listing below shows the Peer groups and the starting dates for which ratings are calculated.
