Not likely. I was thinking last night that you were trying to set a record for the most threads started on one day. Many will head to the Bullpen if that feature is still running.
My allocation in international funds is on the low side so I'll be increasing that through funds I currently hold. I want to get back up to 30% international.
@Crash, the Morningstar quote function has 1 week performance data. Go under the performance tab and under trailing returns.
Looking at mine again, ACCNX dropped. 1.14% for the week. DLFNX was down 1.09%. ASDVX dropped just 0.20%.

My result is age 87. I also take vitamins and supplements. I also take a dose of good extra virgin olive oil daily so that certain vitamins and supplements will work better. This includes fat soluble vitamins and Ubiquinol.
My family growing up wa…
The two core bond funds I own, ACCNX and DLFNX both started to drop about the third week of April. May was a bad month to boot. As of this past week, both have continued their downside.
ASDVX, a short duration unconstrained fund on the other hand …
Looking at M* portfolio holdings for JOHIX, it looks like very good stock picking to me. Tech and healthcare are represented well. Several stocks have 40% plus gains YTD. Very few have single digit gains. Being that this is a international fund, the…
A few years ago my brother had his personal info hacked from a previous employer. He got the free credit reporting and all that. Everything seemed to be okay until last year when his income tax return was rejected because it had been already filed. …
Interesting side note; I checked out iBooks to see if this book was available. It is, at $83.00 a download. There are a number of books that discuss behavior and investing, with prices going between $50-80 plus. I guess behavior doesn't come cheap.

My opinion of Janus remains the same. Mr. Rollins is unlucky that his name w…
@Ted, I had a feeling you would never be all out of the markets.
In a previous life, Navistar used to be International Harvester. A fine company that made farm implement and trucks. Top notch quality. Those engines would run forever.

"In 2008, you wanted to be in cash and bonds. My concern is that the next time around, you want to own assets, especially ones that fare well in an inflationary environment."
That ties in with what Singer was stating in the article. He didn't say i…
Malware is a big concern. But, this is good progress in the security of payments. Handing over your card which could be copied, versus fingerprint ID and tokenization.
It might take an expert to explain better than I but how can thieves steal your…
Reading David's comments from the other threads bolstered my thought on whether this market continues up or turns bearish. If your doctor is treating you and doesn't know what to do next, you would loose faith in that doctor very quickly. In a simil…
@hank, The snippets show that David has had an air of caution in recent history but as@jerry points out, he was exceptionally bearish this month. When I first read this months commentary, the first thing I thought was that he is very cautious goin…
