Kevin Landis, Firsthand Funds Comments with my calculations in green.
I consider Kevin Landis "Mr. Bubble Head" for sucking people into his Firsthand Technology Opportunities fund, TEFQX, near the very top of the internet bubble. Back then the fund was set-up to invest in "business to business internet companies." Landis sucked radio guru Bob Brinker (article) into this fund in early 2000 at the very top of the bubble:
Note how Landis had to change the name of TEFQX to distance it from the ill timed decision to invest money in internet stocks at the very top of the internet bubble. I find CNBC brings out Landis when it needs a "bubble head" to take the other side of the trade when most of its own analysts are bearish on internet stocks or at least not willing to defend what Landis holds. It is sad, but it appears Landis sets up funds near the top of bubbles to attract the least sophisticated investors while keeping the fees for managing the funds. Landis founded Firsthand Funds in 1993 but he doesn't list any of the funds he started with as being alive today! BEWARE OF WHAT HE SAYS!
