Thomas Forester and his Forester Value Fund just landed more good press. On Friday SmartMoney.com recognized the "Best Funds of 2008", and Forester Value won in the 'large-company fund' category.

Forester's star rose earlier this week when the Wall Street Journal twice profiled his as the only diversified U.S. stock fund to make a positive return last year (see MFWire, 1/7/2009 and 1/5/2009).

Others recognized by SmartMoney include: Artisan International Value, First Eagle U.S. Value, FMI Common Stock, FPA New Income, Hussman Strategic Growth, IVA Funds, Mairs & Power Growth and ProShares' new leveraged and short ETFs.
