Over the last bull market cycle, which began in August 1982 (and
included a slight bear market in part of 1984), these were the ten
best-performing mutual funds:

Dean Witter Dividend Growth	+246%	6.3% load
Fidelity Magellan		+228%	3.1% load
Putnam International Equities	+196%	9.3% load
Century Shares			+194%	no load
Quasar				+190%	no load
Vanguard Qualified Dividend I	+190%	not accepting new accounts
Fidelity Destiny		+187%	9.9% load
Venture New York Venture	+183%	9.3% load
Stein Roe Special		+180%	no load
Pennsylvania Mutual		+176%	not accepting new accounts

For this year, the "Mutual Fund Forecaster" predicts that Magellan
will make 34%, Destiny 30%, Quasar 29%, Century Shares 28%, Stein Roe
Special 28%, N.Y. Venture 27%, and Dean Witter Dividend Growth 24%.
No prediction was made for Putnam International Equities.

I predict that sooner or later this bull market will end.  When it
does, I think real estate will be the best investment.  But in 1985
the stock market outperformed real estate by a huge margin.
