Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
This is a hard to read article with all the "artifacts" sprinkled throughout the writing.
Target Date funds serve a purpose if you are a novice investor and want a set it and forget it type of portfolio. These same investors would do better with a…
@Old_Joe, that's why I haven't invested in these kind of companies. Social media has its place but is it worth investing in compared to a company that produces something everyone wants? It is like investing in an idea, not a product.
Besides I'm …
Who wants to completely dismantle government? Government is too big and too encroaching. We don't need a nanny government. It needs some pruning for sure but whenever one side mentions cuts, the other side hears it as elimination.
It seems that when this market starts to swoon the first stocks out are the ones with no solid product or any visible type of production. The social media stocks fit the bill. Were they just investor gambles to begin with?
From a viewer's point of view, Bloomberg is far better than CNBC. The screen can be busy but the newer screen with the tiled news runner on the side is much better than a ticker. There are some showboats but mainly US based where as the Euro and Asi…
I can see that happening after the fact now. The watch also has the ability to know you so if someone takes it and wears it, they cannot use it. Perhaps the same sensors? I am surprised with all the tattoos the youngsters wear, this wasn't tested o…
This taxation issue is being heard all around the globe. I begin to wonder when stuff like this happens almost simultaneously.
As for the watch, it's a hit piece story . None of the watches made it into showrooms that I have read. Apple has alread…
Isn't this the time of year when refineries start to reboot to refine summer grades of gasoline? I thought I had heard before that capacity drops as they reset or whatever they do.
If I recall, Detroit had something like 1.6 million in population during the automobile manufacturing heyday. Now it's like 400k or so. Some cities adapt and others shrivel away.
@Junkster, Thanks for those recommendations. I'll add them to the watch list. These funds have been popular as investors felt rates were going up but we have been waiting for a long time and maybe a while longer. They are looking good as of late.
Cramer holds TWTR in his "charitable trust". "He thinks Twitter has more revenue runway than any other company in the internet space".
This guy never ceases to amaze me. What were some of those names for bovine excrement? Cow chips. Rocky Mountai…
I watched a show on a Singapore financial channel here that went into detail on the investing frenzy in China. They showed large rooms packed with people wanting to sign up. Young and old alike. The Chinese are eager to put their money out there, es…
Bloomberg West. That's the show. I enjoyed watching that. Emily talks a bit fast but the topics were good for the most part.
@hank, thanks for refreshing my memory. They were running out of Fort Lee NJ.
Just spent the day on the road and am home now watching this on Fox. Baltimore had spent years and years to revive and build up their city. What a shame. It's a dread zone now.
There are two things that a lot of people can do to help their budget and their health. Stop smoking for one. That's a lot of money literally going up in smoke. Your body will thank you. Second, if you are a moderate to heavy drinker, stop or cut ba…
