From MN Doctor Niloo Kruger - She debunks several myths that are going around. Worth reading, we need the truth.
“So much misinformation, so little time. I have decided to write out some myths/false information that keep appearing on my newsfeed. F…
@VF - see, I'm not missing the point at all. You and maybe the media are the ones throwing these labels around. I've never used them to define someone because the implied definitions don't apply. But you go right ahead.
@Bitzer - there was an earlier discussion re: DSEEX/DSENX you might care to look over. I'm not sure if it addresses your question but maybe.
DSEEX/DSENX
@Charles - I heard that also.
@msf - apologies for my bad typing. You asked if I knew of others and I meant to answer "no I don't". Wouldn't surprise me if there were others though.
@willmatt72 - who said "If you are really "young," you have virtually nothing to worry about, other than getting a cold or flu-like symptoms."
And you know this how? Source please.
@Charles - no doubt small comfort but IOFIX is up 10% over the last month.
With respect to the SEC filing against Semper this is an old issue about pricing of odd-lot MBS securities in 2013-2014.
The SEC states that 126 odd lots were priced accord…
What a very well written and substantive letter. I wish I could see this every quarter from every mutual fund I own in a timely fashion. Well done Mr. Foster! Makes me feel at least comfortable with directing my investment dollars toward you and you…

He could be caught in traffic. For some reason I seem to recall that he either worked in a hospital or in the medical profession but my mind isn't right all the time.
Very true @OJ. I have neighbors who are firmly convinced President Obama took suitcases full of money to Iran even though he never went there during his 8-yr administration. I just can't anymore.
We still have not heard what led up to the letter being released to the media. Did he try to go through official channels and was ignored/rebuffed? Keep in mind who didn't want any negative publicity during those days. Also, what was his immediate s…
@FD1000 who said - "Dems opened so many investigations and promised Trump will be out"
And who blocked them at every opportunity to get the relevant and necessary documents needed to make their case?

"t was notable that Daniel Dale’s article in CNN discussing today’s about-face was titled, “Fact check: Trump lies that he was being ‘sarcastic’ when he talked about injecting disinfectant.” Media outlets h…

Never heard of it until now. A lot will depend upon the funds you pick I would imagine. Not something I would be interested in but every investor is different.
This is the beginning of John Oliver's bio on Wikipedia. No where in here does it mention that he is a newsman, runs a news show or is a journalist. In fact just the opposite. He's a freakin' comedian. Since when does a comedian verify anything?

I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry.
“Using both a poll of Fox News viewers over age 55 and publicly available data on television-watching patterns, they calculate that Fox viewers who watched Hannity rather than Carlson were less likely to adhe…
I'm just a kid who grew up with the likes of Cronkite, Murrow, Chancellor, Sevareid and so on who I believed represented professional journalism at it's finest. They exuded competence, fairness, integrity, believability as though they had a Standard…
Let's hope so but their system deeds a double, triple steam cleansing. My guess is that they've got a lock on their viewers now no matter how or what they report. It would be nice to have them find some integrity.
