Hi @MJG
You noted: " I do not watch CNBC or any other business news channel. They are a worthless waste of time that might just prompt a viewer to act impetuously and foolishly because of a false and transient urgency scenario. I’m sure experienced…
Hi @fundalarm
Yes. I have watching these various etfs including the ones you noted, as well as CN. These all have various mixes.
Interesting to watch, eh? A lot of different actions, including now with some profit taking with some of these.

Hi @Paul
While these longer (rear view) time frames may be of interest for review; IMHO, one needs to attempt to place what other events were taking place at the time of whatever particular money flow was being reviewed.
Since the markets melt in…
Hi @scott
I was aware of the linkage changes from last fall and do follow China and related; but I was not aware of the recent changes noted in my above posting. Appears that some of the recent action is a "valuation" play between pricing of the ma…
Apologies if some of this is imbedded in the linked stories above.

@JohnChisum
Hmmmm.....okay. I thought that linkage was complete last fall. Perhaps I didn't understand the whole package and time frames. Although Shanghai has been doing well; nothing like what is taking place in Hong Kong right now.
Here are a…
Hi @LLJB
I really like the view when moving the cursor to a grouping/sector and the whole group list is formed; and then one may point directly at one of the tiny (sm.market cap relative to the grouping) boxes to load that choice to the top of the …
Investing, be it money and/or time is to obtain a personal goal, yes?
TIME investing:
I spent a fair amount of time investing in a particular educational path.
I wanted to have the ability to be within a work area that I enjoyed and that would al…
Hi @Ted
I don't recall that bet; but I would not bet against you regarding a rate hike anytime soon. But, if I did; I would want to choose a restaurant on Milwaukee Ave.
Hey, speaking of Chicago and food. Back in the late 70's through the early…
@scott
Nope. Not that type of transaction.
An example would be: sell half of a position in HEDJ and use the proceeds to purchase ASHR or whatever.
Thank you.

@Paul
To add: check this heat map for etf's.
In effect, the price movement of etf's offers a guide as to fund flows, yes?
The above link is set for 1 day performance and is close to real time pricing from my observations. ALSO, another nice f…
@Paul
In addition, etf flows may be checked here. EEM and VWO would be good starting points, eh?

@Old_Joe
Our house is having an investment problem in that we have exhausted all cash reserves for investing. Will have to watch for a laggard to sell to move to another area.
All of LSBDX was sold the first week of January, and all PIMIX was sol…
Thanks @Old_Joe
I was too lazy to review what I had heard/known those 1,000 years ago. But, I knew there used to be a "rule".
'Course now, I may listen to English language radio from Taipei via this internet thingy.
So glad to read you discovere…
@hank
I am somewhat familiar with some of his (Gordon) later programs; but I was "out of the area" for 4 years beginning in early 1967 due to some political problems in S.E. Asia. When I returned to Michigan, I was home for about 3 months and then…
@Ted
Used to listen to Dick Biondi, WLS, in the early sixties. As only some "AM" radio stations were allowed (if I recall properly) to broadcast with full transmitter power after 6pm (their local time).There were always a few that could be heard ve…
'Course..........whilst the current tide of money flows still finds that money has no problem buying the most highly regarded 10 year government issue in the world; one may suspect that an interest rate increase on the short end of the yield curve c…

You noted: "The average hours worked is around 34 a week if I read the report correctly."
Can not write to this properly, and don't have the spare time for a news scan; but I recall the hours per week have cutoff points for most busine…
@Old_Joe
---Ya mean, this limit applies to "cut and paste", too ???
Or is "govenor" a better word, versus limit???
Nah, govenor applies to motors and is probably not the proper use of the word for writing applications.
I just don't know.

Howdy @Ted
Related to the above and rates, I have posted this several times, as we still have bonds at this house; and understand the possible impact of yields upon our entire investment arena.
An update from my prior posts regarding rates....

Hi @Ted
Oh, I won't disagree with you one bit; although that is scott's quote you noted.
Still a lot of "potholes" along the economic road ahead; not unlike the potholes that consume our roads in Michigan.
And I do watch finviz, too.
Take care…
Howdy @scott
Ha !!! Yes, Monday will be interesting, in spite of some other markets being closed.
Bondland will be interesting, too. Likely some big upward moves in 10-30 year pricing.
Ms. Yellen and other similar friends will continue the hea…
@Crash
So, you still think your pc has the problem; as you have described and it is because your internet connection is via wi-fi provided by/through Comcast.
Do you really feel this is a logical conclusion based upon your knowledge of pc's and th…

How do you know this??? How far along the internet road from your location is Comcast responsible for net…
Hi @hank
You noted:
Really boring markets.
I guess if one is looking at the CD rate board in the bank/cu lobby, eh?

Nothing in your mix has a smile for the past month; or how about today (3-30)?
And what if we find the theories of some, a…

Hi @linter
The healthcare holdings are:
--- FSPHX (8.3%) & PRHSX (10%) for the active funds
--- FHLC (6.8%) a passive etf (mostly bio and pharma)
--- two stock holdings, ABC (5%) (AmerisourceBergen) and DPLO (5%) (Diplomat Pharma), with these…
Hi @Charles
I will ask, and of course, you may tell me to "buzz off"; but what is your attraction to Bank of America?
I will note that I have not ever considered BAC as a direct holding; although I suppose it is somewhere among our broadbased etf h…
Hi @linter
The below is relative to price trends, tempered by what we think we know, from what we think we see. The most dangerous proposition for an investor; but likely the best we have to work with, eh? We are gamblers, yes?

Hi @scott
SBIO actually finished up .21; but moved around a lot through the day not unlike other larger bio and pharma. Appears the established bio/pharma will be down a tenth or two when afterhours is finished.
But, much more calm than the past t…

Thinking about your reference above and the bio area......

Don't fully scare the investing pants off of everyone in the bio/healthcare sector........ :)
Monitoring through the day, the bio sectors kept moving down, and + or - a tenth or so; most finished about -5%; not -12%.

Hey @Old_Joe
Ya, that pesky "upside risk" thingy.
Suppose I've always been equally concerned with either the up or downside.
My view of the upside revolves more to buying what could be near the top of pricing for "x" and that then becomes the do…
