Just as impressive, the fund's returns for the trailing five and 10-year periods rank in the top 10 percent of its category.

PeopleSoft had 12.9 percent operating margins in 2002 and 10.1 percent for the latest reported quarter. He just bought a company [software maker J.D. Edwards] that is losing money. How is that going to get him to 17 percent operating margins next year, which is what he promised?
