I noticed that GLBRX pops up as "James Advantage Funds, James Balanced Golden Rainbow Cl A" (class A); these are "retail class" shares, according to the
summary prospectus. What's the source of the "A" class info?
(It's also missing the colon between Balanced and Golden Rainbow - the fund family certainly created quite a mouthful.)
FWIW, M* truncates "Retail Class" to R (which is typically used to designate "retirement plan" shares). Even James Advantage can't get it right - on their "more info"
page for the fund, they call these "Investor Shares". Not to worry, it looks like all their filings say "Retail Class".

my guess you meant GLRBX.
Also - it could be how they originally filed the name of the fund with the sec (just a guess).
everybody makes mistakes and typos. I guess thats why pople refer to the ticker and the prospectus for additional details on expenses, etc. I can't underderstand why its called golden rainbow, when must rainbows are multicolored.
My typo (thanks for catching that) is just one reason why I feel it's better if people say what fund they're talking about. As to the name, it could be a compression of the "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow" - the fund name was already too long
from an internal database that is a melange of several sources (sources withheld) for etfs, cefs, and mutual funds.

on the other hand if the poster verifies ticker after posting to see if its highlighted and represents the fund they are talking about, it reduces errors on the other viewer's end and saves on typing and clicking and you can just use the mouse to hover or click on the fund ticker. I guess its all a matter of opinion. When people just enter names, they often don't enter the share class, at least from what I've seen.
