The DELLGRECO Fund---2012 Annual Report

[TOOL MAN]

Read the advice from any of the legendary investment gurus like, Lynch, Gabelli and Buffett and undoubtedly you will hear some variation on that familiar theme known as: Dollar Cost Averaging. "Regularly investing an equal monetary amount, periodically, over an extended time-frame," is how most define this age-old strategy. In short, patience is a virtue and the tortoise beats the hare, 6 out of 7 days a week. Hmmmmmm.

Feeling somewhat skeptical, I decided to give this theory a test drive, so in Jan of 2010, I officially launched, "The DeLgreco Fund".

Here's how it worked:

Every time I witnessed that fine, family name, DelGrego (or Del Grego) spelled incorrectly (OK, butchered) in an email, magazine, book, Internet post, gun classified, press release or auction description, I tossed 5 cents in a jar.

Well "hinge-pins", I'm happy to report that after only three short years, I had enough "coin" put away to 1) buy this wispy, little pawn-shop Fox......






2) renew my membership in, The Second Finest Gun Collecting Club in the World (wink-wink)



AND 3) please don't tell the IRS, but I still have enough left over to embark on my next ambitious project.............The Kautski ETF !!!!



Hey....don't get me wrong, I can mispell, misspel and mis-spell with the best of 'em, but what the hell is it with this name, that even experienced Parker folk often disembowel it??? I mean c'mon, it ain't exactly, "conscientious", "medieval", "accommodate" , "inoculate"
or "drunkenness". Perhaps, just unconsious drunkiness????

Goodnight Gracie.

Steve;
A few more scheckels tossed into the ole' jar might find you'll have enough to add a smallbore "hinge pin" gun to your collection. Nice Fox... What grade?

[C.O.B.]

I need to read more

[Double Lab]

One chapter- one drink. One chapter- one drink. Repeat until book/bottle is done then go to bed.

[Eldon Goddard]

I am going to start going in every pawn store I can find if this is what they are carrying. What a nice looking gun.

[Paul P.]

I've found 3 of my Parkers in pawn shops. I know of at least 2 more, if only i could afford them.
I was gonna start an obamma fund but I didn't have that many pennies.
I would have been rich.

Who coined the phrase, "life is too short to hunt with an ugly gun?". I first saw it several years ago on the Internet and thought the phrase was very profound. I see you've taken it to heart.

[Dean Romig]

Yes Barkeep - I believe I'll have one of whatever the gentleman (OP) on the floor had... In fact, make mine a double!


And a twenty too... sheesh, some guys!
