A heartfelt thanks, David, for picking up where Roy left off and jump-starting the world's best mutual fund website.All of which feeds into my decision to step aside as publisher of the Mutual Fund Observer by year’s end. After 25 years of writing about funds and ten years of being the defining presence at MFO, it’s time to give a new colleague the chance that Roy Weitz long ago gave me.

@JD_co: Gosh, I hope not any of the usual posters ... LOL.
Impossible to match David's achievements with MFO, and the delicate balancing act of being above the fray while tempering it as needed is particularly difficult.
I was an old buy-and-hold fund type, did pretty well doing that, and because of the limitations of my plain vanilla experience didn't have much to contribute to the in-depth financial discussions here. But over the years this place has become almost like the local watering hole, pleasantly populated by interesting and intelligent people whose varied experiences and opinions on all sorts of matters have been a source of great interest and mind-stretching knowledge. Losing this place is going to leave a great void for me, and will be like losing a great number of friends all at once.
Thank you so much for all that you've done here, in the creation and management of the best financial watering hole that one could hope for.
The very best to you and yours in whatever your futures may bring.
Dan
And - thanks for everything David. Please continue to post / share during your semi-retirement.
Wishing you calm seas and pleasant journeys professor.

My thoughts also !
Enjoy your retirement, Derf
And thanks for the kind words. They mean more than you know.
Too, don't write us off just yet. At base, I'm looking for a path toward the fulfillment of two goals: (1) some better balance in my life and (2) new energy and fresh perspectives for MFO. In my ideal world, that might mean a partner to help set editorial direction, contribute to the writing and build more bonds within the industry. Assuming an interest on their part, I'd continue to contribute ... but maybe 3,000 words rather than 15,000?
My current aspiration is to contact folks we've worked with in the past ... managers, media relations folks, newsletter editors, some of the fund trusts ... to see if they have creative ideas or leads.
It's going to be an adventure!
David
As long as your 3000 words include a picture of Agustana, some words about your current projects and family and you keep us up to date on your personal fund choices, they will be enough!
I always wondered how on earth you could do two full time jobs, even if you loved both of them.
Oh, and your ESG fund roundup in this month's issue is outstanding. It's a keeper. Many thanks.
Best, AJ
