Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: Below is a look at our key ETF matrix highlighting the recent performance of stocks and other asset classes. For each ETF, we show its performance over the last week, in the month of October, and year-to-date so far in 2015. Regards, Ted https://www.bespokepremium.com/think-big-blog/october-etf-performance/
Ted,Good to see your posts again.Keep chuggin along.Corn must be in the bin and rent payments paid for 2016 farm lease I hope. Also hoping for this.A little way to go though.
@MFO Members: I agree with DlphcOracl that we are still in a secular bull market, and my forecast of a 15% return, made last February, in 2014 for the S&P 500 is right on (2,215) target. For 2015, I predict the S&P 500 will close at 2,401 a 13% rise for the year. Regards, Ted Ted December 2014 in Fund Discussions http://www.mutualfundobserver.com/discuss/discussion/comment/54158/#Comment_54158 Just a little "color " to Ted's post Major Asset Classes | October 2015 | Performance Review Despite the broad-based gains at the kick-off to the fourth quarter, losses still dominate the year-to-date comparisons, along with a few instances of mild gains.
While there was a bullish wind blowing in October, there was a familiar exception. Broadly defined commodities once again dipped lower, albeit mildly so this time. Although the price for crude oil revived in October, the Bloomberg Commodity Index continued to slip, retreating by a comparatively modest 0.5% last month. http://www.capitalspectator.com/major-asset-classes-october-2015-performance-review/
