Hi guys,
Added to FSCSX, ROGSX, and TGJNX on Tuesday. Will buy on weakness. Up 6% on CTFAX. Good job, Skeeter! It's paired with VWINX.
......long term just be cool your core.
These guys are looking more and more like my bond funds. As you kno…
Hi guys,
Hope all is well and you got your checks.
Old news: did some buying last week. Opened positions in FSCSX and CTFAX. I think Skeeter talked about that one. Thanks! I like it.
New news: also this week sold FRIFX and MLPFX. Both small p…
VintageFreak,
I would hold on the selling. Did you look at Charles' piece in April? If you did, please view it. I also own losers....it's a bear market. Pour yourself a big stiff one and relax. If you don't need the money......chill. This s**…
Hi guys,
Hope all is well with you all.
Some old news: did some selling when the Fed went to 0.....AEDVX, GIBLX, PTIAX, TRBUX. Since I don't know what "0" means for bonds I left. This happened quicker than I thought.
This week added to FXI…
Hi Boyz,
So you think you can tell heaven from hell...
Can you see a top from a fall? Who are you?
The one who yet can stand and know the what from the where......the who from the why....from the I to the U.
Can you tell where yet we will go? Do n…
Hi Skeeter,
Yeah, I agree with you. I added Friday about 3:45pm. How did I know right after I bought, the S&P went from -2.3% to -0.8% or so. Why???!!! It was Friday......getting weaker into the close. That's why I bought. No one wants to …
Hi guys,
Hope all is well with you....it's only money. You're still vertical, so all is well. Did nothing so far. Waiting for tomorrow to see what happens. No one will want to buy before the weekend, so Monday or Tuesday will be big. This is ov…
Hi guys,
Sold most of my MLPFX position. Keeping a toe hold. I still think it's a value trap. We'll see. Also sold BHBFX. Have 1 value fund: YAFFX. That's enough. Bought a little FRIFX this week on a down day for REITS then, Friday, added to…
Hi Gary,
Yeah, I think we'll do good as long as the market goes up. I saw on Fido they added more info to the fund page. I like that. Also I own GLFOX in that space. Have for years. Looks like they don't clash too much as far as which countries…
Hi catch,
Yeah, good fund FTEC. Great move! Ride it out, big guy. FSPTX is new to me even though I play on the Fido platform. Looks good, but I would expect that from you. Fido had a quarterly report today. I don't know if you saw it.
The D…
Hi catch,
Yeah, have been watching this fund for a while. Finally just held my nose, closed my eyes and hit the buy button. Why? Will say this small, new PM....it's their only fund. AI focused saying all that if you look at top 10, the usual sus…
Hi guys,
I did some buying on Friday. Added to FIFNX, FNSTX, FSMEX, MLPFX, PGTAX, ROGSX, and TGJNX.
I bought Friday due to the drop and hoped for a bounce. But, who knows? This market is crazy....think TESLA. I think on MLPFX that will be my las…
Hi Skeeter!
Yeah, I see your point, but.....(whenever you see a but, it's usually some bonehead trying to prove a point)....lol. Just remember we're in QE. I think the market is ok.....last famous words. I think earnings will be ok----meaning the…
Hi guys,
Opened new positions in BHBFX and TGJNX. Added to PGTAX and YAFFXand AEDVX. This was early January.....have done nothing lately. I'm still bullish and think we go higher.
God bless

Hi Hank,
Wow! Did not look at returns.....and, you're right. Saying that, here's what I see:
PGTAX - 5G all across Asia......now, more to come next year. China stimulating.....helping tech. The want to be No. 1.
FSDAX - have owned it for years…
Hi guys,
ADDED to these funds this week: AEDVX, FEMKX, FIFNX, FSDAX, YAFFX, and PGTAX. I'm going to wait a while to get some coverage before adding more. So much for the technical crap. Now I'm going to wander, so some of you might want to stop …
MikeM,
So, is China nothing....but just like 15 years ago? Would you say cars from 15 years ago are the same today? Move on, bro. You're behind. If it's not all that, then why is our government so worried?
God bless
the Pudd
Hi Simon,
Yes, I have looked at JAGTX. It's a good fund. You will do well in it. I am looking to Asia/China. It's where the future is, in my belief. Stimulus.......G5, richer middle class. It is ⅓ Asia where I want to be. So I say look where …
Hi guys,
Did some buying this week: BTBFX, BTMFX, FNSTX, YAFFX, PGTAX and added a new position FEMKX......my thinking is we go higher.
God bless

Sorry to hear about this. I will miss the Linkster. He provided a wealth of knowledge for the board......as well as some color sometimes. It won't be the same forever. My sincerest condolences to the family.
God bless

Hi guys,
iforno: I like Wellington......anything. Mainly, Wellsley.
johnN: Good job! I only drive on Michelins. They're on the GT also.
Gary: I also have FNSTX. Also look at FIFNX. It's also new.....I like it. Just saying.......
Hi Skee…
Kings53man,
Yeah, I'm big on Wellesley. It's by far my largest holding, so I like this. Are you going with 3 funds or are these just your core? The reason I ask is bonds....
God bless
the Pudd
Hi Skeeter,
Good to hear from you. Your funds are always things I have to look up because I've never seen them before.....lol. Just goes to show you how different people are, and that's a good thing. On your AA funds, I'm curious.....do you own V…
Hi guys,
Have been doing some buying this month. Have added AEDVX. It's a mad money position. Just want to beat MM. Also have bought FAMEX. It's my last mid cap fund.....that makes 5......no more. Opened a position in FIFNX. It's a new fund. …
Hi Catch,
Thanks for the info. Since I'm slowly going into energy, this post is of importance. Have heard from several reads they expect oil to rise in 2 to 3 years.....due to lack of investment by companies because of price. And we all know how …
Hi Catch,
Thanks for the info. The muni thing.....just trying to do better than mm. Have bought TRBUX in that space. carew388 liked it also. Lots of quality stuff. Thanks for the Q update. Will use it in November thread.
New buys are: FSENX (…
Hi carew388,
That's good to hear. As I go more conservative, I want good things before it hits the fan. And I know it could be a while. I'm just too old for the big hit, so will play the slow game.
God bless
the Pudd
Hi Catch,
Yeah, I also like healthcare as you do.....not as much now as a few years ago. Also own FSPHX and FSMEX. I think you do also. Have added to GIBLX and PTIAX with the 10 year at 1.80. Also have added to FSENX on Friday. Have made 6.3% o…
Hi MikeM,
Yeah, looked up AOUAX. Looks good! One catch: it has a 2.22% load at Fido. Since I was here last, have found TRBUX, which also looks good.....with no load. But I'm still looking.....and thanks for the input.
Skeeter,
I have Fido's M…
Hi guys,
Skeeter: You and John are making me nervous!! PCOXX I can't get at Fido. What else you got and what do you think about FCONX? Just saying......
Ben: If I knew when to ring the bell, my ass would not be here. I'd be on my yacht cruisi…
Hi guys,
Have added to GBILX and started new positions in YAFFX and PTIAX. I have owned these before. I think interest rates will fall and value will rise.....just me thinking. And the Dukester thinks that the Blonde One will be in for 4 more yea…
Hi Skeeter,
Yeah, shit ain't what it once was. With the Blonde One, you have to play the game. Buy or sell....the tweet "there is no such thing as a long term investment anymore"......too much money.......IE - QE (worldwide.) Bonds, junk debt wit…
Hi guys!
Yeah....good read. I think less dark than some of their other reads. Again, nothing new here. Going to go down this road to 0% interest rates because there is no other road. Money for everybody.....just ask for what you want and you don…
Hi catch,
It looks good. FBLAX and a bond fund with the fun group, health and tech........yeah, VWINX will only get larger as the gun slinger fades....lol. And the rocking chair gets some use.
God bless
the Pudd
Hi catch,
Yes, I want to fade some of the more volatile funds I have and go into a quieter space. I would like to add a bond fund but where rates are now, they look like a poor choice. At least for now......and that could change. I do own FSMEX a…
Hi guys,
Yeah, catch, great chart....thanks. You can see CTFAX fade from the others the last two (2) years.....why? I wonder. We had very little volatility. Maybe now they have new managers.....going to get more aggressive, maybe. I'm looking f…
