I have a special place in my heart for PIMIX.

Will almost certainly be buying quantities of ntf PRWCX and FPACX at Merrill within the month, or so I hope, and then similarly TACF and JQUA at Fidelity.

You’re not old enough to remember how much colder and snowier winters were in the 50s 60s and 70s? Seriously ? Lots and lots of data on that, some of it just recently. Do you recall all the huge West Coast fires, the scale and scope and tempera…
