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.
I have to agree with Ted on this one. In my opinion anything over 10-12 maximum is just fooling yourself. At 100 you might as well put it into some total stock market fund and a total bond market fund and go enjoy your life. Why on earth would you pay all those management fees.
Zuky! Wow!. I think you win a prize here at MFO for having >100 funds. I think old skeet will be jealous . If you are with Schwab, why don't you work with them to help consolidate?
By the way, what are market indicators that you look at (or look for) that in put up red flags that a market crash (or recession or bear market, whatever you want to call it) is impending or will soon happen?
I have some Youtube videos that I would like to post of some interesting speakers who share their thoughts. But I need time to compile them and follow up later. If you have some thoughts on what are indicators, please post.
Also, what are some recommended actions that you would recommend, both pre-market crash and post market crash. I think we are long overdue for a recession and I have been watching a lot of Youtube videos which are scaring me and making me nervous about the market.
My stock broker at UBS tried to calm me down last week saying that the world economy is in good shape and that there is nothing on the horizon which indicates a recession is impending (and therefore stock market crash) but the videos that I'll post, people say that there will soon be a really bad crash and recession this year (2018). Maybe Youtube videos are just histeria.
For example, here is a video below but there are many more:
Some may say that is way to many. From my perspective it might not be depending on the size of the estate. Take for instance if there is a limit on how much can be invested in any one fund. For instance a million in the market at a cap of $10,000 per fund would require the million be spread over 100 funds. I think a more reasonable cap would be $25,000 per fund which would equal 25 funds.
I know I limit how mcuh exposure I have based upon how risky the asset class is. Generally, bonds are not as risky as stocks so my limit per bond fund is greater than a pure stock fund. And, my limit per hybrid fund falls somewhere in between.
So, 100 funds (or invested assets) might indeed might not be too many based upon certain investment rules and gudelines of the estate.
Now for my question. How do you go about managing an estate of 100 funds or invested assets? There certaintly has to be a rhime and reason behind and to do this.
If you can not respond in short order to this question ... Then, I'm thinking you have to many funds and have massed a collection of funds over having a strategy consisting of many funds.
Based upon the Utube links ... I'm now thinking Zucky1 is a troll.
