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.
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.
@rforno - what might you know about Dominion's gas assets that make them attractive to Buffett? TIA. I hold a wad of EPD and never felt much of a need to look elsewhere.
I'm not totally sure I understand your statement John but if you do not understand the difference between a protest and fireworks I suggest that you start at the beginning. And in case you're wondering dang right I was out protesting the death of Ge…
If you think everything is right with the current individual in the white house you are one gigantic sorry little man. Also your continued use of the smiley face to cloud over the situation is indicative of how shallow your thought process is.
You'…
@zenbrew - fantastic post. I am so tired of referencing and directing the non-believers only to be met with "but what about her emails." You can lead a horse to water but it seems they prefer kool aid.
Best paragraph in the article:
"The Trump administration has repeatedly argued that there is a trade-off between the country’s economic health and its public health. But economists and physicians have repeatedly argued that that is untrue: Ending t…
