Q: Templeton's recent bad PR reminded me of my previous interest in their Templeton Dragon fund. Any idea whether the fund's recent poor performance can be reversed? Thanks!!

Q: Closed ended funds have a sometimes-deservedly mixed reputation. The Templeton Dragon fund's Far East coverage seems to offer that relatively rare (for me, at least) combination of excellent return and low correlation to other holdings in my portfolio. Can you comment on its value to a predominantly North American portfolio?
