great blog entry today, Mark. Bill Miller's LMVTX (Legg Mason) has a 16% annualized return since inception, and its benchmark is the SPX. An alternate to the Small Cap idea. the mid-Cap is LMASX using the S&P 400 mid cap as the benchmark, with 13% since inception.

I used Bill's Special Investment Trust when I started investing for retirement. It was a great holding, too. If you ever get a chance to meet Bill, I recommend it. He's a really nice and interesting guy. Mark
