From Barron's 7-16-07:
"Ariel Fund (ARGFX), which is in Morningstar's mid-cap blend category, has a one-year return of 27.5%, besting 60% of its peers. Its three-year annual return of 12.7% isn't terrible in absolute terms, but trails more than 90% of its Morningstar peers. It's similar for the five-year return, 14.3%, which puts it in the category's bottom 20%.
The fund, however, has a strong long-term record: Its 10-year annual return of 12.9% places in the top 20%.
Ariel Appreciation (CAAPX), which has more of a large-cap tilt but is in the mid-cap blend box, has a similar performance history.
The lead manager for both funds is John Rogers, a staunch value-investing practitioner who likes to buy and hold quality companies that he and his colleagues view as temporarily beaten down.
"In the last year, we have started to have a better performance of higher-quality stocks," says Charles Bobrinskoy, director of research at Ariel, who also is portfolio co-manager on the more recently established Ariel Focus Fund (ARFFX). "Until then, lower-quality names and highly leveraged companies did very well."

A. agree with mike, if you are new to
investing the market the best think you
can do right now is watch. The market
is not cheap in any way right now other
than the comparsion of where it just was
over a year ago. The market and economy
are going to a lot longer than what most
people think to become stable let alone
recover.
