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.

marketwatch is okay for lipper, but lacks the reinvested data, I think, and there also the direct site, so to speak:

>> I’m willing to pay about $35 yearly just for a nice reliable ad-free tracker.
My question arose since I was attempting to understand what you meant by the above statement, as I get no ads from M* and they still do $10k-growth as before. …
No ad blocker, no ads w M* for me, any browser.
@hank,
So you have a service that does reinvested-growth graphing and comparison of equities and funds? What is it?
>> M* is garbage
So please tell me where else one can see comparatively graphed historical compounded performance of mfund and some ETF / ETN investments (not CEF and individual stocks yet, presumably to come) --- for free?
@msf, tnx for pointer to ETF valuation metrics
Looks like M* is about as it was, meaning (as far as I can tell) you still cannot get $10k growth from entering ETF and CEF alone (you can for ETN, looks like); you have to again incorporate them in an…
OREAX tops FRIFX at: 1, 5 and 10 years (per Lipper). I wasn’t touting the fund, just commenting on the asset class overall. As you might recall, I have no brokerage accounts, Just some money directly with a few houses. Actually, now that Oppenheimer…

Now that M* mfund graphing is back partly working, does anyone have any thoughts about ETFs? When you graph a given mfund's $10k growth, then add an ETF symbol to compare, now M* appears to have restored their ETF database only partly, and moreover …

site is sketchy again, no stars for dseex either
features and completeness come and go, just surprised this is still in beta

The table's correlation results of .87, .87, .89 and .92, along with the overlaid closely tracking graphs, would make most go with their lying (nice) eyes, for example financial advisers. It's a wonder everyone in investments uses graphs as they do …
>> VSUX is nothing like DLEUX
Huh. DLEUX as sort of a subset or component of VXUS has been discussed, and when their graphs are overlaid any customer would see congruence that does not have to do with chance.
What msf said.
I too put lotsa moneys into DLEUX (close to its start) based on DSEEX performance, but over time it turned out to be quite wanting, only recently matching or outperforming peers, and so I bailed when it went above breakeven.
Merrill, which you may still be able to see, lists PPSIX ex-div date of 7/26, but gives the most recent dividend as 1-1/3 cents:

we shall see what handy functionality remains in a few weeks
