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.
Nope, I keep the watchlist funds as a backup in case one of the funds I have goes out of favor. In those cases I pick the fund that will fit my allocation needs. In Jan for example I sold a bond fund and bought DLFNX.
So debt is as good as money?
For someone who professes to know it all about investing, you have a lot to learn about finance.
Is this what they teach in the schools today?
"John: huh? "
@Crash, It might sound unbelievable but it is true. Here is one link that spells it out. Note how they rounded the numbers down to make the math easier to follow. The actual answer is much more than that.

@John Chisum: I wonder how many Millennials are MFO Members ? I'd venture a guess slim and none, and slim just left town. Let's move on !

If that's the case, it makes for ominous demographics for this website. Good thing curmudgeons …
Mr. Spock kept his investing technique very simple. One tidbit I remember was the penny multiplier.
Take a penny, double it every day and in less than a month you will have a million dollars.
If taken out to the full 30 days, it comes to over $5…
I would have thought that the IRS already knew you had coverage or not? Are there not some other circumstances with 0Care that one might have to pay extra taxes?
I'm drawing a blank as to what those conditions are.
News from earlier this week but something to ponder. What would be the effect on the Dow30 if AAPL were to be added?

Good morning all. Found this article while checking the morning news.

Is this a transcript of his mad money or whatever they call it now? The show where he pumps stocks that his trust owns.
While he may be right, be sure to stay back aways to avoid the spittle when he gets excited.
I would doubt that anyone at CNBC/NBC etc will be holding this stock. I wonder what the urge was to put this company in the spotlight? It's not a usual household name.
I also hold stocks for the long haul as long as the circumstances I bought the stock on remain unchanged. Another possibility for selling would be portfolio bloat.
Selling could also be just trimming the holdings and still have a position.
So it appears the pressure relief valve opened up on AAPL. Down 3.38% today. Although a big drop, I'm glad it happened. The stock needed to take a break here.
AAPL is also a small holding for me. What I look at is the 40%+ gain I have and wonder if I should sweep the profits? If I hold pat then it's not a big deal but I was also raised on the saying " A bird in the hand"......
Now, some might say 40% on…
Those big dogs are still licking their wounds from the 2000 tech bubble pop. Only now has the QQQ come almost back to that level. 15 years drawdown is a long time.

If I am not mistaken, Sterling Bank was bought out by Umpqua Bank.
I have heard some good things about Umpqua but they sure have grown since the crisis, taking over weaker banks.

Here's magic:
I need the money for (blank)....that's a sell
I will keep the money invested in another investment (fund) that will get 3% if I'm lucky...
that's a why sell?
Or, I could keep it where it is and if it drops way down I'll just yawn and …
Nothing appeared magically.
This money would stay invested albeit in another fund. Not as easy as in years past when I could sweep profits from high flyers and put them into GNMA funds getting 9%. Those days are over. I have other ideas though.
They sent me that promotion too. I guess one cannot have too many Chase accounts.
Minimum balance required to avoid charges, high fees for global atm use, ( mine is close to $9.00 per transaction).
Compare to Schwab Bank. No minimums, fee free a…
In a way I'm glad the stock took a breather today. The action has been too good to be true here lately.
Now, should I pare off profits or stay the course?
From the article: "The plan won’t affect the bank’s retail customers"
Not yet anyway. I have read that some banks are shortening the time period of inactive accounts. I think Chase is either 18 or 24 months now. The winds of change are blowing.
I have read of a lot of those systems being installed in higher end hotels on this side of the pond. Are they not fuel cell generators?
Honda is developing a residential model that can also produce hydrogen for cars.
If anyone is looking for stock to play with, try LQMT. This company had promise but debt and a bunch of other issues put it into penny stock purgatory. Very risky. AAPL is working with them regarding the car project.
Regarding the healthcare industry, Apple is already making a presence with iPads. Their partnership deal with IBM will push this even further. Having both the hardware and the apps is a big advantage.
Another fund is SFGIX. While it is not a pure Asia play, it has about 60% of assets in Asia. Andrew Foster is a well respected manager formerly at Matthews.
Dittos on the TRowe Price fund.
I will bet a dollar to a donut that the split was exactly set to achieve that lower price below $100. That would attract new investors even though the math works out the same. It is easier to buy a $100 stock vs a $600 stock. It got me as I bought i…
I recieved an email back from American Century. In short, the reason given for the high turnover was that 1: this is a new fund (3 years), 2: the assets are only $73million, and 3: the combination of those two facts lends to high turnover as the fun…
I'm sure there are millions who think that everyday, including me. I had thought about buying AAPL when it was $21.00.
I kick myself every time I think about that, including right now.
Does Windows not have a option to create accounts on the same computer? You could create a password protected account that only you can access. All the files created in that account would also be kept away from other users.
Apple has this option.…
