User Notes, Comments, and Questions
The numbers are being updated for 2009, not finished yet.

I question all of them. None of them look correct to me.

Gurufocus, where are you getting your data for the 10 Year and Since Inception columns?

Ben
HEY DR.

I see you have added alot of new GURU NAMES to your website. Are you planning on puting them on the "scoreboard" so we can easily see their performance over the time periods...LOVE YOUR WEBSITE.

ROBERT BAUMANN
We have just updated the performance data of mutual fund managers we tracked for the period ended Dec. 31, 2008. We will work on the hedge fund gurus.

For hedge funds, sometimes we do not have the detailed data. If anyone can help, please contact us.
This page will be updated.
When do the Guru's 5 and 10 year % gains get recalculated by either them or Gurufocus.com. I question and am very doubtful Bruce Sherman's % rate is correct. It seems like they have never changed and continue year after year to be the same. He had a terrible last 12 to 18 months?
