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 - I like her management style, 'some' of her funds, her thought process and her methodology but I am currently out of those 'some' funds I held. I also do not hold any of her competitors funds in the same vein. A correction might put me back t…
Looks to me like IBD's methodology could use a little work. Their track record is 50/50 at best. But hey, I'm just one of the ignorants here who doesn't keep up with the markets or business news.
Innovator IBD® 50 ETF FFTY
I second @Ben WP's selection of BIAWX. I've held it a little over 3 years now. I am also invested in some solar stocks: ENPH, SPWR and a little bit of RUN. I use FAN an ETF devoted to wind power. I have been in and out of ICLN but I'm out for now.
@waxman - although you chose some of the most derelict examples to make your point I do appreciate the courtesy of your response. Those two are also flaming red flags for anyone with less knowledge of what they might be getting into and/or are chasi…
@TheShadow - I'm confused. Which SPAC is inactive?
The way I read you initial post is that Mr. Sherman and Mr. Whitney would be managing an ETF comprised of SPAC's. At least that's what the SEC document says also.

@BenWP - from what I've been able to find:
What is SHIBA INU
From its inception, Shiba Inu has done things differently. Starting with a supply of 1 quadrillion, Shiba Inu founder, Ryoshi, locked 50% in Uniswap, then “burned” the other half to Ethe…
Interesting. I only say this because this is the second time in the last few days that a seemingly well regarded fund manager has appeared to be offering a new fund modeled in the Kathie Wood's mode who many on this discussion board feel is nuts. Th…
Modest drops in the broad market like today always have me looking at things I'd like to incrementally add to and rarely at things to sell. Sometimes I snack a bit but usually not.
@Sven - and again I'm of the opinion, but I have no evidence to support it, that the uber-rich individuals are connected in a way to play the same game that your average Joe can't.
But hey, anyone of modest means please try to sell an ETF that you …
@davfor - If I understand what you are trying to say then I disagree with your statement above "Passage of this bill would force taxable account investors to buy and hold onto individual stocks to continue to receive some of the advantages available…
Good! I'm hoping that it passes. I am sick and tired of the (tax) advantages handed to those who already have, at the expense of those who struggle dad by day to get by. If all men are created equal then tax them equally and close, eliminate, or rub…
Just curious here, how will selling their stock holdings and putting them into cash or index funds make one wit of difference? To my feeble brain they still have an insiders view of the Fed's decision making and apparently have no reservations about…
It is helpful maybe to remember that old skeet held 60-70 mutual funds at that time so to the unaware he had an insiders look or hand in all the great funds. I'm in no way saying that he didn't but when a investor is that spread out they are bound t…
Judging by another discussion thread on this board Vanguard seems lacking in customer service through their own organization and in addition they don't think it's necessary to subsidize another organization (Schwab) for doing it for them. Good plan.
Yes @msf, I wasn't suggesting anything nefarious or against regulations. I just think that certain fund managers might get a 5-10 minute chat or a meet up that lesser known or renowned fund managers might not AND as you noted "where the way the resp…
Does anyone suppose that manager longevity not only relates to their performance success but also to their access to businesses and company managers they've built up over the years? I tend to think that the likes of Danoff, Tillinghast, Miller, etc.…
