Some Up Funds Today...

WBMIX, of course.

FAAFX, likely due to this...

And, even SIGIX, a nice surprise.

Not bad given the continued hemorrhage.

And even a couple stocks...HCP (again) and SCHN (since it's been down so long, can't go down anymore...=) ).

I noticed too that DODIX is doing pretty well lately. If DODGX stays below 10 mo SMA by month's end, time to rotate back. First time will need to rotate out since started this strategy for this part of my portfolio, circa 2012 I think.

Bummer.

    Yep - only off a quarter percent today. Gainers: QRAAX, PRELX, DODLX, OIBAX & DODIX.

    Re: the depressed commodities sector, oil continued down, but a lot of AG products rebounded sharply.

    FAIRX up .72% today, as a result of what Charles posted above, as well as AIG was only down a little and BAC moderately so. Very nice performance for FAIRX on an awful day in the market.

    Wanted to always ask you. Why do you always quote Institutional shares, i.e. WBMIX and SIGIX?
  • VintageFreakVintageFreak
    Another question. On which - free of course - website I can chart "monthy" SMA? Stockcharts only gives "daily" and "weekly"
  • CharlesCharles
    Hi VF. My bad. Please forgive me. Two reasons: 1) they are the oldest share class, by designation, so they are they are the ones we do ratings on, and 2) they are the shares I own.

    My friend, you are making me feel bad. "Forgive me"? Seriously...

    It makes perfect sense what you said, since that's how we should look at the manager's record, over the longest term possible. I never thought of it that way.

    Would like to know how you are able to buy the institutional shares though. If you tell me it is because you are rich, then I'm so happy for you.

    While I'm asking questions, how the heck FVALX ended up?

    Yahoo does a nice 200 day SMA, which is close enough to the 10 mo SMA...

    In Yahoo Finance, click on Basic Tech Analysis tab...

    http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=DODGX&t=1y&l=on&z=l&q=l&p=m200&a=&c=

    I use Schwab, through my 401. So, I get access to institutional shares, like WBMIX, at much lower minimums than direct with Whitebox.

    Schwab has a 10 mo SMA chart opinion.

    And, I tend to plot my own in Excel, downloading data via Yahoo Finance, for example.

    I'm sure there are others, but off-hand, can't name them.

    And, I'm being summoned to dinner!

    Hope all is well.

    VF, I have a sub to stockcharts.com, but I see Daily, Weekly, Monthly, 2-hour, etc. On that site please take a look at the Elder Impulse System.
  • VintageFreakVintageFreak
    Okay approximating using daily, weekly for monthly I don't like. And I do want free site doing "monthly". Harrrrummmpphhhhhh !!!!

    Meanwhile discussing funds that went up today. PRLAX 3.57%. WTF !?!?!
  • Tony
    Free site BigCharts does "monthly."
  • Old_JoeOld_Joe
    Also try this Google chart. Enter your fund, choose "1 month". Under chart set "Technicals" to 30 day SMA.
  • JohnChisum
    Barchart is okay but I don't know if it has the customization you are looking for.
