I myself see a big pullback coming in the next six months but I don’t know that I have ever been correct over 45 years. I will put a lot of money in if a 10% pullback comes. I expect you r being prudent depending on how old you are. The thing is, if you’re young, you might as well stick it out and not try to time. He said.
No, of course not; I was comparing it with other real good mutual funds, as one should. Which it also outperforms iff you go back to its inception --- it had tremendous outperformance 1990-98. But look at its $10k growth for the last 20/15/10/5/3y e…
Even going by investing topics only, M* discussions in very general terms stay more on point and are specific, informed, brief, and sophisticated, like the best of msf, Bob, Lewis, fundalarm, Ted (sometimes), and a few others here (apologies to thos…
I find totally the opposite, at least the substantive, analytic, on-point brief comments to short articles. yogibearbull et alia. M* responds and corrects some of the time too. A true marketplace of ideas.

Hi msf,
Thanks for your detailed review of my earlier postings. I surely do not remember them. I do like the DALBAR summaries. They do useful work.
You have completely missed the point and are on autopilot in generic self-defense mode:

I would say that some, maybe many, here do not really know many, much less have as children, hardworking nose-down millennials. But generalizing from media reporting is ever so much funner.
They now try to be as full-service as feasible, travel planning, storage, all manner of other business support, plus the usual healthcare (eyes and ears and pharma) and digitization and services. Every time I walk out I see a new pitch for something…
