Robert Olstein is celebrating the 10-year anniversary. A hypothetical $10,000 investment made at the Fund’s inception would have grown to $43,749 as of September 30, 2005. During the last ten years, Bob Olstein had made many predictions and warnings. In this publication he reviewed what had happened after his warnings. The warning he gave in Feb. 1999 was about large cap and technology stocks and the dangers of chasing the returns of the current investment mania. We all know what happened afterwards. What will the future bring? he believes the investment landscape over the next ten years will ebb and flow between optimism and pessimism (what we like to call greed and fear). The next ten years will bring periods of negative psychology which will present the Fund with value opportunities to seize upon, as well as periods of speculative binges and bubbles, which he will avoid.
