"Losers" in 2013

[plato1976]

Today 's losers can be tomorrow's winners

 

I can think of the following losers for 2013:

 

1. Precious metal miners (ABX, etc.)

2. Muni Bond and Muni Bond Fund

3. Some small oil&gas corp in the U.S. and Canada

 

what else ?

Fairfax is hardly a performance loser this year

It's still up 6% YTD, in a year its book value seriously impaired by the bbry disaster and long term bond, etc. etc.

 

I would say Fairfax and Lancashire.
