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.
Mr. Obvious here - far, far too many of the lesser skilled, lesser educated and lesser motivated feel no need to fill the jobs paying $10-15/hr when their unemployment checks provide more income for doing nothing. I am surprised that unemployment ch…
No but I feel like one should be able to look up their own "background check report" from providers to verify their accuracy just like you do with your credit reports.
Kudos to Liz for doing the right thing. I believe that it is the GOP that "has real problems" and I wonder how long it will be before they break up into two factions.
Very well said @Old_Joe. I will certainly miss the monthly musings and that touch of Roy's snark.
Wishing you calm seas and pleasant journeys professor.
Well I don't think that it's too much to ask of posters to provide a few snippets of the article or discussion topic when posting. It's just a common courtesy and a long time request from the moderator from way back in the FundAlarm days. It also ai…
FWIW - I get far more useful stock information from my brokerage firm (Fidelity) than M*. Check out whatever firm you're with and see/search what they have to offer.

President Joe Biden's forthcoming capital gains tax hike proposal would affect only a 0.3% slice of U.S. taxpayers, a top economic aide said on Monday.
Biden is set…
However true that may turn out to be or not be it will be due to the investor's own exuberance or decisions on the direction of the market and their investment choices rather than nefarious dealings by the portfolio manager who has been nothing abou…
I wish that I could say that I'm surprised by the actions of these slimebalms but I can't. I can only hope that the justice department follows up on their investigation and makes them hurt.
Confining myself just to India I had to look up just what they produce and export. I was surprised to find out that refined petroleum leads the list and not just by a little bit. I'm even less educated as to how the Covid virus is affecting the nati…
I believe that OJ is correct unless this is another new batch. I sincerely hope not.
Meanwhile back on the front lines I read a story today that said that only 75% of seniors have been vaccinated. That's disconcerting.
"We usually stay fully invested, except for those Black Swan periods, where we may go totally to cash and wait for good re-entry opportunities."
Serious question - Do you anticipate these Black Swan periods in advance or do you sell after the initi…
It is getting a little nuts out there. Yesterday I was at the lumber yard and saw a 2x4x8' wall stud for roughly $9. A preservative treated piece of the same dimensions was $12 and change. Good thing I have a good supply of both in my garage.
Don't make it harder than it has to be. We all have different needs, goals and objectives. Do what makes you feel comfortable and able to SWAN. Even stating a certain percentage is wonky depending on the level of available assets to liabilities one …
I have to do the winning part first in order to do the losing big thing. Anyway my losses will be measured in the $100's and most certainly not in the billions. If I had a million I'd just quit the game.
I don't believe that we will be seeing herd immunity anytime soon if at all. The linked article from the NY Times illustrates many of the issues/problems. I fail to understand.
