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.
One thing about 3-peat is that the results change so much as a function of investing span. Naturally.
When I put in start date of 1982, which I guess is when I started doing serious active investing, or say I did, my results are rockin'.
When I …
Fwiw, I called your post to the attention of financial developer James Welch, who responded:
Interesting/amusing, [and] quite so. The idea is for ORP/MC to capture the idea of returns to be following trends.
Personally, I find 3-PEAT to be a bett…
@Hank,
>> Many are equally ... motivated by the highest ideals and patriotism.
not a chance of that, and I suspect that you know it, economically, which is all we are talking about now, and which directly bears on markets and hence on MFO
Nonsense --- with this guy, his fully uninformed direct (sometimes executive) actions wreak havoc with markets, and worse than just havoc. He can and should own it as appropriate. Wack ill-advised trade conflict and wack fed lobbying and wack ignori…
the problem with buying the dip, is that you don't know how low it will go.
One of the many things I like about DSE_X is the automatic monthly buying; god forbid I should do that sort of thing. Though I may try and do something tomorrow morning, …
think I'm gonna buy some QQQ tomorrow on margin unless a big pop at the opening
krug just now:
One small note of nonpanic over bond yields: the 10-year has fallen in half, but it's still a bit higher than it was in much of 2016, when it didn't pre…
@MikeM,
Serious query --- do you have a free source that does comparative graphing of mfunds (and thus far some ETFs) with all reinvestment? Meaning $10k growth.
Not seeing that the Lipper-Reuters new site (new to me) does comparisons.
Royce funds has been declining in performance for some time now. Long time ago I invested with them briefly but found Royce funds to be average (at best) as active managers. Today I use TRP mid- and small cap funds, but most of them are closed to …
M* is your friend:
MPinto has been at JABAX for like 14y. Quite unsung,
I have considered everything else, I believe, from preferreds to target dates and ETF blends and beyond, and zero interest in any of them on my part.
It is easy enough to di…
Roger, studying up is why I gave you those links, also that quote, which is quite in opposition to your timing tactic.
I have much liked (and in the past been invested in) JABAX for many many years, and yes Fido and ML are my only brokerages, and i…
@Sven, nobody knows quite how to value CEFs, it appears, if there even is a general rule.
PDI has been premiumed forever, large delta. PCI has swung to premium and on paper less attractive than when it was discounted. I just buy and reinvest every…
@Sven, fwiw, I am still buying PCI, not any longer PDI, and still reinvesting in FRIFX, not a bond fund, exactly, but you know.
What you say is true, and even w MINT it is possible to lose moneys (a little)
Huh. I am unsure about what to do as I wish to swap part of my large PONAX holding (dived the last month or more) for FTBFX (seriously risen during that time).
welcome
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…
people ...
- legacy chart works fine so far, just sub in your fund for PRWCX (@Ted)

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 …
margin-bot QQQ and IVV yesterday and sold today, made $600; shoulda done way more obvs, shoulda held longer maybe (I do not think this crisis is going to last), but that takes nerve I do not have, esp on margin

site is sketchy again, no stars for dseex either
features and completeness come and go, just surprised this is still in beta
advanced from where it was a week ago
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.
