This thread jumped the track days ago. I’ve been watching largely for amusement. But I respect peoples’ right to post what they will. Either @Baseball_Fan or the board moderators, ISTM, have discretion to allow / disallow certain comments or topics of conversation. You and I do not.It frustrates me when a thread can quickly deteriorate into "silly ass" discussion. The thread topic is simply "How would you invest $100,000 now?". Just answer the question, give your reasons for that choice, and move on. The answer to the OPs question will vary from one investor to another, but it is an "investment" question, not a frivolous spending question.
Earlier this year, Romick delivered the keynote at Morningstar’s investment conference, reflecting on his 30 years of successful investing across multiple cycles.
We asked Romick to share insights and lessons learned navigating major crises like the tech bubble, financial crisis, COVID crash, and 2022’s meltdown. Interestingly, he believes Crescent has survived by “first considering what can go wrong.”
Hear Romick’s wisdom on defensive investing, managing risk, contrarian thinking, and preparing for an uncertain future—a rare chance to learn from a legendary investor.
Recycling is to prevent toxic stuff in the landfills and/or to reuse materials that are in short supply.
Most recycling requires additional energy. Only safely combustible waste (bio-waste) may produce energy economically.
Doing good on your first day. Only down $18 on your $450 play so far today.. I decided to buy 100 shares, sit back and get rich :).
The above is a disconnect from the subject. We are discussing how would you invest $100K."$100K is not meaningful to change someone's life."
A total disconnect to the reality of human life. And there we see a person for what he really is. Not pretty.
Fund outflows can impact turnover stats.Additionally, can fund outflows affect a fund's turnover stats?
For example, if the fund usually has 5% turnover, but then gets hit by a 20% outflow, would their turnover (if they had to sell 20% of their positions) then go to 25%?
Thanks!
@Sven, no not a reasonable alternative, Treasury floating rate bonds are up around 3.60% YTD while bank loan funds are up on average 8.89%. A couple bank loan funds are up over 11% and many are up over 10%. Since the last week in May a few bank loan funds have had but three down days. The epitome of trend persistence and the sector is on track for its second best year ever. Massively overbought but has been that way for some time now. When this category finally cracks will be looking elsewhere such as BDKAX which I mentioned at the beginning of July. New managers there took over last December and its performance has been more than impressive since. Then again, better to seek out under the radar funds that get no mention/attention on the boards,There are few pockets of bond funds that are doing well, but they are heavily overbought as @junkster mentioned. So watch for defaulting if and when recession strikes. For now short term T bills and CDs are still attractive, yielding 5.5%. We continue rolling over T bills as they mature.
@junkster, would treasury floating rate bonds be reasonable alternative to FR/BL funds?
