| | Future Investments and WWCD |
 | | You can if you like, but we must ask the question, “WWCD,” short for “What Would Crandall Do?” Years ago I heard someone say that Bob would sell his own mother if he thought he could buy her back later for a lesser price and make a profit. |
 | | That’s not the case after August 30th for AB Emerging Markets and August 25th for AB Mid Cap Value; other funds begin the practice on or about October 1st. |
 | | As I write this [August 18, 2005], AB Emerging Markets has been doing slightly better than the Dreyfus Emerging Markets fund, so taking advantage while you can is in line with WWCD. |
