@MikeM - if that ever becomes a thing the arbs will swoop in like pigeons and sea gulls on popcorn. I'm certainly not denying that it doesn't happen already to some extent.
With my subscription to The NY Times I am able to gift 10 articles/mo. They practically beg me to do it. Their options for doing so (email, message, FB etc.) even has a "copy Link" choice. Maybe look into that.
I know it's pretty simplistic but could it be that all that cash that has been resting on the sidelines expecting a Great Recession or chasing down treasuries, CD's and all like that has decided to park itself in the better looking windows? YTD, "SP…
That's a hoot you two. His problems are of his own making and overheated massive ego. He almost begs people to disagree with him so he can show off his temper and anger like a spoiled brat similar to your other idol. Obviously he or some of the peop…
Must be a failure in my reading comprehension skills as that statement doesn't say to me that only GMO "alone" has discovered a quality premium. To me it merely states the strategy they intend to exploit. Please help.
@WABAC - I don't know how GMO managers tweak their machines to recognize their definition of 'quality'. As @BenWP noted above "Surely the managers of these strategies differ in their approaches to quality in the same way that "growth" or "value" man…
@WABAC - you asked "And how does one define quality in equities and bonds?"
GMO's statement of quality (as it applies to QLTY):
"The GMO U.S. Quality ETF seeks to generate total return by investing in U.S. equities the Focused Equity team believes…
@WABAC - I don't know the answer to your questions. We both know some funds say one thing and do another, at least until they are caught.
As for your dismissal of any ESG fund that consists of 5% Amazon stock Brown Advisory at least notes that the…
@Baseball_Fan - maybe you should go back to the Brown Advisory website and re-read what you thought you saw:
Brown Advisory sustainable strategy:
"ESG considerations that are material will vary by investment style, sector/industry, market trends a…
Agree with @Old_Joe re: the taste of French press coffee but they are a bit messy to clean at my igloo. My septic system balks at the grounds so I only use one in the unfrozen time of the year when I can hose off the innards onto the yard and garden.
I wonder how much of that "average" is pulled up by the bazillionaires. What defines the average household anyway? I live in a rural community where I highly doubt more than a handful is pulling down $284K/yr or even $184K/yr. $84K/yr maybe some.
Admittedly I did not connect the dots very well. My opinion is that the smart money folks are possibly selling stocks and parking the proceeds in MM funds while the smaller investor keeps buying stocks and funds as the magnificent 7 keeps dragging t…
I'm with @rforno on these new offerings and fail to see anything special about CGDG at this time. I've done ok with CGDV to date but that's not saying a whole lot.
Which begs the question of who do you think is selling out and depositing their funds there? Bezos? Institutions? Small investors playing the FOMO game will be left w/o a chair when/if the music stops.
I do a lot of backpacking, canoeing and camping where holding down the weight is critical. I also love my coffee and I love it hot, dark roasted and black, dark-black if I can get it. When out and about I use Starbucks Via or Cafe Bustelo dark roast…
Rosalynn died today at the age of 96. A beautiful soul, full of kindness and grace. Her devotion and dedication to President Carter and this nation will be missed.
NY Times sharable article
While not new per se but new for me I've recently (within the last year) placed investments in:
OMFL "The investment seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Russell 1000® Invesco Dynamic Multifactor Index. The fund g…
@Derf - well the state where the flow begins (MN) has been suffering through draught to severe draught for the past year and a half so there's that. People from states on line down from there can fill in the precipitation info from there. It helps t…
