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.
@hank who asked "My question (posted yesterday) was simply whether more should be done in these types of shows to inform investors the speaker is presenting “best case” outcomes and that there are also substantial risks associated with those investm…
@BF - purely a guess as I have no idea either. I think her funds and the reasons she's given for creating them (i.e. innovators & disrupters) would appeal to a younger audience. I also believe that she appeals to the 'momentum' crowd of investo…
Yes let's bail out the rich, especially the richest of them. And let's give more handouts and bail outs and tax breaks to businesses, and the oil companies and Wall Street financial firms and the airlines and corporate agriculture and on and so fort…
Well I'm half a country away from Los Angeles so we'll see. I used todays updraft to unload portions in a couple of positions. After reading an ARTICLE posted today by Jim Sloan at SA I'm taking a peak at Japan ETF's. I'm not sure that I will scratc…
Geez that fund hasn't made the rounds since forever. Anyway I see nothing compelling in a garden variety LC Value fund that (according to M*) trails its category by 14% and the index by 26%. It holds nothing special and is heavily weighted toward t…
@LewisBraham - I'm willing to bet your next years income that the vast majority of Ukrainian citizen investors care less than squat about that prospect at this moment.
This statement from @Observant1's link just slays me: "Meta, the parent company of Facebook, dropped roughly 25% Thursday after reporting mixed fourth-quarter earnings. That shaved $200 billion off Meta’s market value--an amount greater than the ent…
I use almost exclusively Apple products. I have had no performance issues since 1986 when I bought a Mac+. Currently I am using an 11-yr old MacBook Pro that is slowing down when web surfing but the new model(s) have no issues. Yes, I finally upgrad…
Last year it was SPAC's, this year it's META Neither made sense to me and last I checked SPAC's flamed out horribly and not in a good way. Zuckerberg can change the name all he wants but that face will stay the same. I'm inclined to think that the c…
With the Q's down 10+% for the month AND ARKK arguably invested in the most speculative issues within them is anyone really surprised that her fund is being crushed as it is? Do you give her credit for sticking with her investment thesis like you do…
I wonder how Pennsylvania senators and congressmen voted on the BBB bill. It seems that there's a vast majority of support for it amongst the voters across America, just not with republican legislators. But yes, use the money wisely and track how it…
@hank - about that gold, I don't get it either which is why I tend to stay away from the metals and miners. This coming from a guy who was going to buy the miners on Monday for a trade. I must have seen a different bright shiny object on my way to d…
I believe that they remain quiet until they've made all the trades necessary in their accounts so as to ride out the coming storm produced by their announcements.
I was in agreement with @rforno's earlier comment re: dead cat bounce. I sold out of the last remaining so-so positions I had and will now wait for Ms. Market to chart a course.
Jason Zweig, WSJ:
"I don't know whether we're on the cusp of a cataclysmic decline, or whether this is one of the market's normal see-saw rides.
What I am sure of is that after two years of being cooped up at home with nothing to do but stare at m…
I don't see the rationale for holding both myself. They each appear to be large blend funds with similar sector weightings even if the exact same stock does not appear in each. Are there differences in the funds investment policies or goals? Admitte…
@BaluBalu - I did but I was in before the huge run up and out in May 2021. There were others. Although I agreed with her "disrupter" thesis it was strictly a momentum trade on my part. I still think the disrupter thesis has merit but valuations are …
