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.
What a waste of an article and bandwidth. Most likely any cash account being held is losing purchasing power. Any cash account that charges a fee to keep your money there is criminal in my opinion.
In these times, cash is not king. While there may…
Using the WSJ snapshot, it seems this fund is lagging although it has favorable ratings. It is really big for a small cap fund. Personally I would want a fund that is more nimble. This one is more of a set it and forget it type of fund for 401k's.
Actually I saw the headline on Bloomberg's scroll at the bottom on TV.
I agree. Negative advertising is a huge mistake. I have to be careful since I am a Powerade drinker. My bias is showing.
Coming from a relatively new member here. I enjoy the comments of most of the posters. Even if the post is long, I still look forward to any tidbits of knowledge. The personal attacks are the big turnoff. Old_Joe mentions the alpha male concept and …
There is the old saying that when the taxi driver and people at work are telling you to buy Uber, perhaps that is the time to sell.
Someday, maybe sooner than later, Uber will reverse to the mean and once again the wailing and gnashing of teeth wi…
@Crash,
The main part if your statement is exactly what I try to do. The big issue is determining when the bull is getting ready to turn. The markets have a way of fooling us most of the time.
Yup. But I was quoting Steve Goldberg.
I missed t…

I personally enjoyed cman's comments here. I am a "math deficient" person so most of the conversation goes over my head but maybe I can glean some info from his postings. However, when he gets personal that changes the tone to something I care not…
Thanks to David and Charles and anyone else involved. Excellent commentary as usual.
I have found myself over the years watching less and less financial television. All the networks are the same now. Cheerleaders and blowhards. Very little of it i…
It does seem so. The league has approved the sale. Donald Sterling may be planning a lawsuit against the league but that might not affect the transaction.
You bet. I am pondering letting loose of some of my EM holdings and go into something a bit more conservative. I do have some aggressive positions that I feel are headed for the same treatment.
Perhaps sports is more his style. A lot of Seattle fans are hoping he will move the Clippers to Seattle but it makes no sense. LA is a huge market compared to Seattle plus the price he paid.
Now the Clippers just need some muscle in the middle and…
I used to have a inflation protection fund in my stable but sold it when it became apparent that Bernanke was not going to allow inflation to happen. Fed actions and how they determine inflation now makes it less certain it will come.
I invested e…
I wonder how much of an impact the entry of foreign brands in the home appliance sector has had on Sears? LG and Samsung are popular with their designs and features that appeal to a wide customer base.
My local observations consist of a Kmart store in a strip mall that has about 10-15 cars parked in front most of the time. Usually older people shopping. Sears has a large store in a decent mall that they have just refurbished. Last time I was in th…
Makita makes an excellent tool. I have a corded angle grinder that has been heavily used. Still going strong. We put diamond blades on it to cut tiles. It's done two houses so far plus some extra stuff.
Thanks Scott. Interesting link.
I question their property values in part because of the overall transition from strip malls to online and life center malls. The Kmart properties in particular are mostly in less desirable locations.
Their Craftsm…
I used to hear that the value of Sears was in their real estate holdings. I wonder about that now. Who would want a large mall store or any of their Kmart stores?
