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.
@rforno - maybe the same only different. You probably have a better memory than me but I see to recall that the Stein Roe fund was populated with more established companies. I'm more than willing to admit I'm off base.
I sold some GDX (the miners) at the open. The big users of gold, India & Asian cultures, are not buying at these levels. I expect that the price will begin to fall back but I have no clue as to when. Just taking some profits.
That's a good thing @OJ. I aim for a handful or so of the same each day. One has to keep those circuits firing.
@hank - the reckless use of unidentified, allegedly federal police, angers me to no end. That they can indiscriminately use force when …
@hank - Currently (but subject to change as you noted) there's an investment vehicle for that and one I've been using. ARKK - Technology Innovators Fund.
VLAAX - Value Line Asset Allocation Fund Investor Class for long term performance and growth.
And as Mike suggested below QQQ or similar (I use the Fidelity ETF - FTEC) for the reasons he mentioned. Or if you believe alternative energy and solar wi…
At the start of the shutdown wood products workers were considered nonessential - remember TP shortages. I don't know if they found other work while laid off or mills and manufacturing plants were closed or .... Plenty of variables to choose from. A…
@MikeM - I don't recall Ed not wanting to make the transition to MFO. I do recall that he was a strong proponent of CEF's and included them in his posts often. He also had a wickedly sarcastic sense of humor.
Privileged upbringing, classy education and you use it to enrich yourself at the expense of hard working, less advantaged folks struggling to get by on a day to day basis. Sounds about right for a trumpet. Straight out of the playbook. Scum.
@rsorden:
1. Show us evidence of President Obama's corruption. A simple list will do.
2. Flynn admitted to lying under oath.
3. Stone was found guilty of perjury. Even corrupt Barr said he deserved 40 months.
But hang on to your dreams.
p.s. I'm s…
Maybe wack but that's how those type of lists go sometimes and we both know it. Personally I don't think the internet of tomorrow (ARKK) or cloud computing are areas to overlook but we all have a vision that's different than the rest I suppose.
I'm…
@davidrmoran - why the harsh tone? It's the best performing ETF's of 2020, and not the one's who have best since March 1st. I don't follow best performing lists as a rule but some do. It's also possible that many folks who drop by MFO are interested…
In my case it started in the way back era of Roy and FundAlarm. I held only a 25- fund portfolio and was choosing those funds on a performance mo-mo basis by and large. I read an article mentioning FundAlarm and the 3-Alarm rating which suggested co…
BIAWX is my largest mutual fund holding and I also hold positions in ARKK and ICLN although neither touts itself as an ESG type holding. I have other single positions in the alternative energy area so I'm at least environmentally and sustainably ori…
Yup for sure I'm going to trust scientific medical advice from a so-so tariff advisor over Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Will these losers ever give it up? Makes me wonder about how much…
Well you know what they can do about that don't ya? Major oil is dead money. Choose gas or gas pipelines if you must. My only play in that whole business is bucco EPD which I've held pretty much forever.
@msf who said "Schwab doesn't allow Roths, nor does Fidelity" HUH?
I'm sure I must be misunderstanding something but I've had a full-scale Roth Brokerage account at Fidelity since they became available. Are you referring to some other type of Roth …
Hank said "200,000 projected Covid deaths in U.S. and estimates are rising. Where can U.S. apply for foreign assistance? "
I believe that the answer might well be nowhere as dear leader proclaimed his intent to withdraw from the WHO. Apparently the…
Yup, that's what I have been reading as well. Has anyone seen any figures or data from Russia, Poland, Yugoslavia and the like? Curious what they might have done and how it worked out.
