Question ID: 298874
I'm considering investing more money in the Marketocracy.com masters
100 fund (more info here:
http://funds.marketocracy.com/mof/index.html).  It seems like a novel
concept and they have had very solid performance over the last five
years (btw, I have no connection to the company).

I'm looking for a few third-party articles that might talk about pros
and cons of investing in this fund.  Perhaps some articles in Fortune,
Forbes, Money, etc.  I understand how the fund operates so I'm not
really looking for a description of that (although it might be helpful
if you come across it).  Rather I'm looking for someone who point out
why investing in the fund might be a particularly good or bad idea.

I have set $10 as the price of this question and would consider three
articles to be a satisfactory response.  Anything above and beyond
that will be reflected in the tip.  Thanks!
