To the Editor:<\/strong>
Regarding \u201cThe Stock Market Just Hit a Record High. 27 Picks for the Year Ahead, From Our Roundtable Pros\u201d (Jan. 19): What is the panel\u2019s performance, cumulatively, over the past five years? I\u2019ve read their picks for years, and they often seem to get shellacked on some picks that pretty much negate gains. I\u2019m curious to see whether any panel member has a five- or 10-year rate of return better than the Vanguard S&P 500 exchange-traded fund. The panelists often recommend so many picks that are already very expensive and always seem to assume that the companies will grow into the projected valuations. <\/p>\n

Stock-Pick Suggestions<\/h2>\n

To the Editor:<\/strong>
I appreciate the transparency (\u201cHere\u2019s How Barron\u2019s<\/em> Stock Picks Performed\u2014and Why We Trailed the Market,\u201d Jan. 19). \u201cExpected hold time\u201d or \u201cwhen to sell\u201d would be good additions to your initial analysis and recommendations. If these were ideas for long-term buy and hold investors, then the timeline for review in many of the ideas is too short. If these are more short-term trade ideas, then positions should be entered with stops and a clear sell strategy, which would limit the downside on the losers.<\/p>\n

BP\u2019s Energy Strategy<\/h2>\n

To the Editor:<\/strong>
BP is pursuing areas of the energy sector that are profitable, which is why CEO Murray Auchincloss was hired (\u201cBP Stock Has Been Ignored for Too Long. It\u2019s Time to Buy,\u201d Jan. 19). If Auchincloss were able to obtain billions or trillions of free money from various governments to fund zero-carbon energy alternatives for an indefinite time, then I would be in favor of that decision, too. But the reality is that zero-carbon initiatives aren\u2019t practical. This is another example of someone wising up.<\/p>\n

Joint Responsibility<\/h2>\n

To the Editor:<\/strong>
No question, this is one of today\u2019s major financial issues (\u201cSolving the College Tuition Puzzle Is Only Getting Harder,\u201d Other Voices, Jan. 19). It\u2019s easy to blame others for the problem, but in reality, all are responsible: colleges, for charging very high tuitions; students, for not realizing the responsibility of paying back the loans; and our government, for too easily giving loans without knowing whether they\u2019ll be paid. <\/p>\n

All things considered, these three entities should bear the responsibility. Colleges should reduce their claims by a third, students should be forgiven for a third, and the government should pay the remaining third. <\/p>\n

Thus, all parties would share the responsibility.<\/p>\n
