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.
Stinks. All part of the coup. Big Money and Gummint in bed with each other. The rest of us can go screw. Any hint that gummint is supposed to serve the citizenry is GONE. Democracy? Don't look anywhere around the USA. Extinguished. Fascist Oligarchy…

Supposed to replace EB-5 visa. Allegedly a faster-track to citizenship. How nice it will be to have the lovely and splendid Russian oligarchs in our midst. Nothing to see here. What could go wrong? ORK..... The reason they're oligarchs is that they …
Exactly.
Someone smarter than me said the market runs on fear or greed. It will run on greed until, as JD says, “we least expect it.” Fear and greed are real and powerful,,, so when the switch is flipped watch out.
No shame. None. From every angle, the Oligarchy extends its influence in order to serve itself. De-fund everything, so then everything must be privatized. Then there's no accountability. Just moneymaking opportunities for those who already possess t…
Nah, we should put our trust in a guy who backs Putin and regurgitates Russian propaganda - i.e. dictatorship accusations towards Zelensky.
That's the guy we should stand behind.
yeah ...
Is it not astounding that with today's UN vote, Russi…
A friend is here on Oahu on official business with Homeland Security. Meeting counterparts from Canada, Japan, Oz, NZ and S. Korea. He received uncle Elon's email, too. He replied with a picture of himself relaxing on the beach.

MAGA voters have pretty much zero ability to think critically, or to foresee the evil they are voting for. They managed to elect a felon-criminal, and thought he'd be the better choice? Ask E. Jean Carroll what it feels like now.
You speak truth, sadly. It has come to me very recently that the Orange Tool is utterly and completely OWNED by the Poot-slime. The Russians have something on the Criminal now living in the White House...

...And around and around we go. Never address the point being made. As Robt. McNamara said in "Fog of War:" "Don't answer the question you were asked; answer the question you wish you were asked." Shit.
Sadly, I can come up with no counter-argument against the disappearance of this democracy, sped along by a military held hostage by replacement loyalty to the Orange Felon. Presumably, at least some Units will remember their oath to the Constitution…
Not until they feel the prolonged pain in their communities and more importantly in their pocketbooks. It will also take them having to admit that they were fooled, that will surely be harder.
Most will never be able to do that. Inertia rules. It wi…
@Anna you just opened a can of worms. Which of the SCOTUS Justices said, "I can't define pornography, but I know it when I see it?" I do know that a goodly chunk of the "woke" agenda being reacted against is the gender-bending nonsense. Yes, there …
Aren't high-yield spreads tight and rather unattractive?
On that basis, yes. That's what everyone is saying. I've done well, sticking with my ill-timed choice to get into Junk just before 2022 arrived. I rode it down, then back up, reinvesting all d…
The false narrative Orwellian Double-speak that's going on is very real and very useful to the Orange criminal, authoritarian coup d'etat regime. It's been present in US politics for decades already (at least for decades!) re: various bills in the H…
LOL. In the ongoing conversation, Talking Heads have been saying that the Junk yields are attractive compared to the more volatile equity market. Of my 47% of portfolio that's in bonds, I'm at 49% in Junk. My earmarked Junk funds (2) comprise 26.82%…

@hondo: You have evidently failed to notice that it's your president who is kissing the ass of the communist president. Could you please name a few of the Democrats who are doing the same thing?

There was already zero privacy. Now the lack of privacy is officially weaponized--- and Muskie and his minions don't even care who knows--- whether or not they will admit to the deed. We have Trumpian Orange Indiscriminate Trashing of Everything, at…
Yes, Ritholtz and Josh Brown have a professional connection. Brown closed-up "The Reformed Broker." But he's still the same guy. And Ritholtz has been a source of knowledge and investing wisdom for me, too--- going back to Fund Alarm days.
Connected to this discussion: TRP has become pathetically slow, too. They are slow even to update and report daily numbers regarding their OWN mutual funds. I'm still babysitting my friend's stuff over there. Yes, they can be trusted. Yes, they have…
Oh, yeah. But Gov. Mills of Maine knows what's what!

Orange Tampon will do what he wants. Half of the Judiciary is owned. I am rejoicing in DeJoy's departure soon. Yes, all he did was to sabotage things. But to simply eliminate the Postal Board? More orange feces. To operate USPS under the Commerce De…
precisely. I'm more defensively positioned in bonds, but I can't bring myself to go run and hide completely. Logic has nothing to do with it, particularly in the short-term movements. Mr. Market ALWAYS overreacts, both upward and downward. Statistic…
When you can find human-written analyses, they are, half the time, worth reading. The A.I. generated stuff is generic pap. I use Morningstar a lot. Yes, if you give them enough TIME, their stats do catch-up to reality. They have seriously deteriorat…

A sea of red in the Markets today. Bought just several shares of my favorite baby: ET. Not a bad place to be, for the moment: dividend two days ago. Free money. Today, I brought my cost basis down a bit, as well. Pleased with myself t…
The Orange Criminal thug is no doubt a Russian tool, a Russian asset. He'll do what he's told. He has zero reputation to worry about. Nothing to lose. No integrity. So, why not? Zelensky is correct: the Orange Felonious WAD lives in a disinformation…
Yes, quite right. We are screwed. Holding my breath, the next two years, and hoping that enough US voters can grow some intelligence between now and then, and turn away from the Orange Lying POS.
