The Wall Street Transcript, February
8, 2003
Ron Muhlenkamp is featured in the February 2003 Money Manager
Interview section of The
Wall Street Transcript. The 8-page interview text gives
a more in-depth look at Muhlenkamp & Company's view
of the current investment climate, our investment process,
and some of our holdings.
"While we certainly aren't happy
with our 2002 annual performance, we believe that stock
prices declined for reasons that were real but unpredictable
(not unlike the prior Gulf War). As a result of lower stock
prices and increasing company values, we're finding enough
good investment values that we want to be fully invested,
and believe it’s a good opportunity to add to our stockholdings,"
says Ron Muhlenkamp, Portfolio Manager.
