Profile: The Al Frank Fund: Barrons happened to profile one of my favorite value oriented mutual funds. Fund manager John Buckingham is bullish on the US markets and favors deep value stocks that trade close to or lower than book value. What I
like about this fund is that they were also up in the bear years of 2000 (+7%) and 2001 (+30%).
