High risk/reward mutual funds

ok well i found some funds that are shooting for 100% this year...ya i know it prolly wont hit that but even half is 50% which is phenominal, but anyways ive been reading some things that coincide with this and are indeed VERY risky, just wanted to get some ideas about these. OBCHX UNWPX

Thanks, Chris

IMHO chasing performance is a sure recipe for disaster. tread lightly if you must.
The trends that have helped to drive the powerful emerging-markets rally, low interest rates, strong global economic growth, and low inflation--could easily abate, leading to more moderate gains or, if history is any guide, potentially severe losses.

i understand that part...but i have intentions to take these out when i feel the industry/country will start declining or i see it...hopefully i can catch it in time.

Well, when gold and oil go down UNWPX with crash along with them. If you follow these two commodities you should know when to bail on this fund.
