    Forbes.com, which ranks Marketocracy’s Forums on its “Best of the Web” Investment Boards page, says “Put the best investors in a room and let the world listen in. That's the idea behind Marketocracy.com's forums, which only allow posts from managers of the site's top 25% online portfolios. Threads such as ‘One pick for 2002’ allow the site's stars to chime in with their top pick of the year.”
Adam Leitzes & Joshua Solan, Forbes.com Best of the Web, March 18, 2002
     
    Clint Willis, in his article "USA: Funds – Virtual fund managers outgun the pros" writes "The vast majority of stock funds lost money last year - so it may come as a surprise that a small group of funds soared to big gains of 50 percent or more. Even more amazing: The funds were run by amateurs with no formal investment training." Funds "with names like TC Money Machine and Chabino's Rising Retailers-delivered an average return of 33 percent on their portfolios. . . .Last year, 40 of the 100 top Marketocracy managers posted virtual returns that would have placed their funds in the 100 top-performing equity funds-and six of those virtual funds would have taken Top 10 honors. Amazingly, two of the amateur managers, Kevin Fravel (up 96.4 percent) and Christian Straessle (up 95.2 percent), bested the returns of all professionally managed stock funds in 2001." He goes on to quote Marketocracy manager Sam Kortiz, "who guided the Sam A. Koritz's Small & Micro-Cap Fund to a 43.5 percent gain last year. . . . 'I've found opportunities to buy cheap shares of companies that other investors unjustly ignore,'[Kortiz] says. 'The small-and micro-cap world is full of these stocks.'"

    Forbes.com profiles five stock pickers in its Best of The Web, "Desert Blooms" article: "In difficult markets, smart stock pickers prevail. . . . Thanks to the Fed's barrage of rate cuts, housing is one of the few remaining vibrant sectors in the economy. That's been a boon to Kevin Fravel's housing-stock-heavy mutual fund portfolio, posted at Marketocracy.com. His Kevin D. Fravel Fund is up 50% since the beginning of the year and 73% since its inception in September 2000. 'Inflation and interest rates are all historically low, and those are what drive the home-building industry,' says Fravel, a 33-year-old computer programmer."
