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 am joking of course but for those inpatient and obsessive investors, not having to wait till late afternoon to see how your stuff did is a key attraction to going ETF vs Mutual Fund.
@Old_Joe. I may be the only one with this opinion but I think that Epstein would be THE distraction to cover up crimes of historical significance against the United States . The Epstein case is a horrible crime of previously unheard of magnitude bu…
Am I wrong or when this thread started could be called the gold old days? Last June we had no idea what kind of shit was about to go down. Horrible news happened almost daily, not hourly, and the evilness of his intent was not yet clear. Even to t…
@Crash. I remember a discussion I had with a guy who seemed very old to me at the time. I was bragging that I had never voted for a republican, unlike some of my peers. He smiled at me and said something like I have never voted for a Democrat. I gue…
@catch22. Big thank you for sharing this information. It’s all too easy for me to globalize the relationship between big capitalist Ackman and the Republican Gestapo… it would be wrong,,,, sort of. But big capitalism supports maga and maga on the s…
@BaluBalu. With all due respect,,,, both partyism is a total crock of shit. The most mediocre, uninspiring and incompetent Democrat is miles ahead of what the republicans have unleashed on this country and more broadly ,, the entire world. It’s an …
@sma3. Re:Harris lost it.” How many voters in this vast country would not vote for a woman? How many voters in this vast country wouldn’t vote for a person of color? Maybe these voters just stayed home. The numbers might not be insignificant. Or …
Let’s be careful what we wish for. Think of who is one heartbeat from the presidency. Not a lean and hungry man but ambitious beyond belief and controlled by the likes of Peter Thiel. What could go wrong?
@JD_co. “ the current blitzkrieg “ is one way of looking at his recent behavior. I was thinking that his literal madness is accelerating and skidding out of control. From one day to the next he is more erratic and dangerous. My thought is that the…
Repugnant senators always chicken out. It’s as predictable as waking up to bad regime news every morning. At this point what do you check first each weekday morning? The market?Bad regime news or is he d___ y__?
What is the regime mostly likely to mess up in the next ten days ? Invade Greenland? Attack Iran ? Attack another American city? Indict someone who stands up to him? Isn’t great living in interesting times?
@Old_Joe. Getting people in the streets. Shit ,,, some folks on this board can’t even identify with the opposition party,,,, let alone protest in the street.
@David_Snowball. Back in the sixties,at a small university in the Midwest, I was a participant in a noisy and disruptive action against the war. One of my professors from the department where I was a bit of a student leader, admonished me to chill.…
In 2026 if you are not a “Dem” YOU ARE ONE OF THEM! It’s an all hands on deck moment in our nations history. The. Choice is a flawed party vs an evil and destructive party. That’s the choice.
the repugnants/maggots are the problem,,,,,,, if one doesn’t align themself with the alternative to the problem what does that make you? Either you are part of the problem or part of the solution.
@Observent1 “I don’t get it…” +100. As long as millions of our countryman vote against their economic interests,,,he will remain in power. He gives his base cover for their many hatred’s and they are willing to take that trade. As as per the fir…
Wasn’t M* established as a service to enlighten its users on finding the best actively managed mutual funds? If the whole fund biz had been entirely index funds where would the author be employed?
The last US Navy BB was the USS Missouri,,,, commissioned in 1944. I know the shithead wants to turn back the clock but shit. Next he will have grunts carrying an M-1 like my Dad did .
He has never been a naval architect but apparently he will be involved in the design and naming of the lead ship of the class. By the way can anyone here tell the group when the US Navy last commissioned a Battleship? I can just imagine the wardroo…
@dpf749. Re : VWIAX. It has about 38% stocks and about 12.5% of the fund is tech. It’s 2025 performance is pretty great compared to the much loved PRWCX,,,, with 56% stocks and 41.5% in tech. It’s called an income fund,,,,,,, not even a growth and…
I am sure he is more than crushing it $$$$$ and will get out 3 minutes before the bond market turns. And that’s all that matters. For some the world stops at their balance sheet.
@Mona. Good Temps knowledge. Growing up in Detroit in the golden age of Motown ,, the Temps were the soundtrack of my youth. My peer group were late to the Beatles and Stones.
@Derf. “ I believe ‘25 interest will be less.” Me too. So it’s take more risk or accept less interest income. Lucky for us our home and auto insurance, Medicare Part B premiums and heating bills have all gone down. And “groceries “ are cheaper t…
@DrVenture. We had not bought ground beef in years. Generally don’t eat meat but wife was making some terrific cabbage soup. That price was shocking. I tell my wife every day that it would really be terrible to be poor nowadays. Thanks maga.
