Contributed by: CEO Blogger (http://ceoblogger.wordpress.com) -

The market is turning — and Andrew Peck is in stocks for the long haul. The portfolio manager for the Baron Asset Fund thinks it might be a mistake to try and play stocks by constant, rapid buying and selling

Instead, Peck says his fund holds stocks for an average of five years, versus the “typical mutual fund” pattern of six months — an annual turnover of 18 to 19 percent, versus 100 percent.
