Baltimore – (TFN): The conglomerate sector was down 8.85% for the first quarter of 2008.

That might not seem like an argument in favor of conglomerate investing, but when you consider that the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index was down 10.05% for the same period, it seems a bit better.

That warrants some attention.
