Sure, past results don't guarantee the future.
Overall, they seem to be good choices to explore and from a good fund family.

BTW, could you clarify for me "PRPFX is a 30-5-16-16-16-16" allocations because at a quick look I didn't see them on M*? Thanks
PRPFX-
25% of fund is gold
5% is silver
the other 70% is equally divided amongst:
natural resources/utility stocks
high growth stocks
US government bonds (I bonds or TIPs maybe??)
swiss francs

so it is 25-5-18-18-18-18. Had my math wrong before, oops.

RPSIX I look at 5 and 10 year returns (7.44% and 6.16%) when making the case for it.
