For the Institutional class of the Harbor Focused International fund mentioned in the September issue, isn't the symbol HNFSX instead of the HNSFX you mentioned? Thank you for your excellent work.
I saw your note about Late Professor Donald L Tuttle. It's so sad about his passing on 8/21/23. It's also weird that you posted about him on 8/22/23 and something inspired me to get to the bottom of whether he was involved with Cramer ETFs - looks like no. Even the funeral details aren't out yet. I hope that you do something in the memory of your former Professor. https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/charlottesville-va/donald-tuttle-11415909
Hey Jim, I got prospectus, annual report, googled for reviews and scams about the company TBO Capital; I found nothing bad about them; I even found Newswire and Benzinga article about TBO Capital lowering their performance fees. I talked to a live person and I have email communications; The first time I sent a check to "TBO Capital" and they sent it back saying they can't accept it because it has to be 'HMC Trading" as their custodian at wells fargo; I went to wells fargo and asked if there is such a thing as a Custodian, they said yes some investment firms use them as clearing houses. What i should of checked is have Wells Fargo check if "HMC trading" is actually a custodian or not. WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO CHECK FINRA OR SEC OR BROKERCHECK as later we found out that we could; WE ARE NOT EXPERT INVESTORS.
