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.
If I had to guess (which really is all that I am doing) I'd say that it is a combination of not owning enough of the top 5-8 market moving momentum equities + the downdraft being experienced by dividend paying stocks + their derivative strategy(ies)…
@Baseball_Fan - Please remind us of MTG's claim to fame, or her accomplishments or any little positive thing she's contributed to society. Thanks... that's what I thought
It is somewhat ironic, maybe even funny, that one of the demands to pass the debt limit is that congress wants work requirement rules stiffened for those receiving aid yet congress is doing little to no work themselves while receiving paychecks (aid…
@rforno - you said "... these people just need to be constantly outraged over something apparently." It's what makes them feel whole and supreme to all others (and contribute funds to those who they feel will help them get their way). They haven't …
@Sven - You might be a little low on your statement depending upon how you define mass shooting.
"The United States has faced at least 190 mass shootings so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive. There have been more mass shootings t…
So @Baseball_Fan you rant about all the things that the democrats are screwing up as usual. What do you see as the solutions? Do you have any or do they belong in the vast wasteland of the republican absence of thoughts realm? Do you really think th…

@Old_Joe - for future reference, check out FSELX the next time you want to play with the semi's. I had been closely observing Buffetts play with TSMN and had considered joinging him but other buys elsewhere got in the way. Once he existed it all I s…
One of my issues with M*'s portfolio tracker was that it seemed to always calculate reinvestment of dividends using the price figure on the opening of the ex-date. That may or may not be the way companies did it who (used to) held your stock interna…
I caught that the other day. If I remember correctly one of the justifications floating about was that he had them so everyone would never forget. Yeah, right.
"Monday morning’s shooting in Kentucky, which left five people dead including the suspected assailant, brought the number of shooting victims in 2023 mass shootings to 209, according to the Gun Violence Archive, which started tracking gun violence d…
@BenWP, @JD_co to be fair had I been thinking right I suppose I should have compared OMFL to a more appropriate benchmark i.e. the Russell 1000 index. Those comparisons are a bit mixed but still reflect well on the fund. Attached is a link to the fu…
