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.
I have access to the individual stock evaluations, too. I'm not sure if ALL of them are human-written. But they are more specific than almost all of the fund-AI-generated drivel.
The RE-election of the Orange Felon simply cements the fact that a rather large plurality of the country is just fine and dandy with amorality and immorality. We are fucked. What did we all get taught, right? Rome crumbled from within. Tick tock, ti…
Agreed. When I can see that a human wrote a thing at Morningstar, I'm more apt to pay attention. Even then, they are too generous, often, with their evaluations.
Who could have ever predicted a 34-count felon winning over the plurality needed to win enough votes to get elected, and thus insulated from accountability. Just grab 'em by the genitals. Just assault them in changing rooms. Just have multiple affai…
I did see on the news that the Fire Chief complained that the Mayor and Council under-funded the LAFD. But in the thick of the crisis, they stood shoulder to shoulder. Get the fires out, deal with complaints later.
Homeless epidemic? Check out Oahu…
Mr. Market always overreacts, both to good and bad news. Today it was hyper-goo-goo- lovely. Watch for the day-traders cashing in, in the morning..... Nice to own the "right" kinda single-stocks on a day like Wednesday, today. Really juiced performa…
There have been M* complaints here on MFO for such a long time now... I really don't understand why anyone still bothers with M*. What is that old saying,,, "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result."
If …
what happened to M* Portfolio page? Mine is just blank.
Yes, my "Legacy view" is blank, too. The "new and improved" crap-ola version is visible.
The same message appeared that YBB just posted.
Voila! Legacy just worked for me. Just reappeared.
One more brick in the wall. I don't even bother to keep score anymore. I just flat-out will not ever trust any of the Big Banksters with a penny of my money. They all suck slime.
I've reduced equity by a substantial slug. Down to 44% of total. If Giroux is saying it won't probably be a great year, I'm not panicking, but paying attention. Let the monthlies roll in from my junk. Re-investing them. Lucky with my two single stoc…
What @rforno says about the “dividends” is true. My father-in-law received physical checks from such energy partnerships as well as regular stock dividends. Family members recall him running down to the mailbox just after mail delivery to grab his c…
My son had to evacuate from Altadena. A friend took him in who lives in North Hollywood. He tells me that somehow, the home where he was renting is untouched by the flames. But I expect there will be extensive smoke damage. Simply dreadful, all arou…
Yes. Energy Transfer. Ticker ET. Obviously, you know more than I do about that.
Once my cost basis reaches zero, the divs are taxed? Does that mean, in other words, when my gain is equal to 100%? If the value doubles, the shares have paid for them…

I offered some highlights in a previous attempt to post, but my way-too-sensitive stoopid Apple idiot computer evaporated the whole thing when i…
"[F]ollow the laws of the land . . . and be kind to yourself and to other human beings (just like the Oxygen mask protocol)." [underline added.]
Everything is covered.
Not by a long shot. Although we are very far afield from the original thread. B…
There are a whole lot of voters who don't feel that either major party is representing them. And that alienation is increasing by the month.
true, true, true.
They are out of touch because they are out of touch with the reality of their brand perception. Calling them "Out of Touch" is just a kinder way of saying what @rono has already said. Do not blame the customer when the issue is with the product, o…
Drinking that Kool-Aid again, I see. I have no room for "Woke," either. But it has nothing to do with wildfires erupting in the midst of a SANTA ANA WINDSTORM. Santa Ana winds come around rather often to the L.A. basin. It's never pleasant. This tim…
@BaluBalu I stole that initial italicized phrase from @hank, above my own short post, there.
Maybe it's always been true that the majority can't think beyond their own noses. Not just every FOUR years, but with regard to the House, there is often a…
