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.
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.
@davfor - you seem to be confusing my disgust with the fox news organization with those that listen and believe in what they say. Big difference! FWIW I just spent the last 6 months in the gulf coast area and unfortunately most of the residents fall…
While I have to agree with your statement that fox news "has a large and devoted following. It helps to shape and reflects the thinking of a significant segment of the population." my issue is that what they promulgate has been to a large degree dam…
While we're at it hopefully someone will find a cure for fox news. This explains the testing problem more clearly:
"Coronavirus testing in the U.S., which lags other regions and is considered a linchpin to restarting the economy, has been mired wi…
I highly doubt that mutual fund owners day trade their portfolio's and even if they did all they'd get would be end of day prices. ETF's of course behave differently. Add or subtract if you want but for now it's all just mostly guess work. Feeling l…
@MikeM - I have sold certain positions as this snap back rally produced opportunities. Most of those sales have been in REIT's which I was to slow to dispose of initially but have now regained half their losses. I also sold some CEF's I owned to rai…
“I thought they would do it if things turned down again. They keep doing things day after day, it makes you wonder how bad the data is they’re seeing,” said John Briggs, head of strategy at NatWest.
Heather Cox Richardson:
"We learned that the trip of former acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Modly to Guam on Monday to harangue the sailors of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, there to clean the ship of coronavirus and to help the crew infected with…
@royal4 - I had considered that but if the market goes up from here there doesn't seem to be a reason for doing so.
ALSO: " A Roth IRA conversion made on or after January 1, 2018, cannot be recharacterized. For details, see “Recharacterizations” in…
I think you got the mandate wrong there. D&C is not required to beat the S&P 500. They are acting to select value stocks which they deem safer and worthy of their clients money. It's obvious to me that many investors do, judging by the AUM. …
"Citing the intensifying threat of the virus, Evers on Monday afternoon had ordered the postponement of in-person voting and the receipt deadline for mail-in ballots to June 9.
He said he made the decision to act unilaterally because of dire warning…
Easy to do online at Fidelity as you noted. I just completed rolling my traditional IRA into my Roth a few weeks ago. Be careful not to bump yourself up into a higher tax bracket however. Why would you want to open a new Roth? I'm unclear as to any …
180 polling places in Milwaukee down to 5. Again- voter suppression.
One person - one vote? Everyone has a right to vote, just not in Wisconsin (and so many other states).

Honeywell pressures suppliers to cut prices 30% - Barron's
Honeywell (NYSE:HON) is asking some of its suppliers for 30% price cuts, extended payment terms and other concessions, Barron's reports, citing a letter that says the re…
Nope, for 2 reasons.
1. Determining to 'buy' equities is hard enough. They are studies and articles out there that show even the considered best pundit's only get it right half the time. Determining to 'sell them short' is even harder. I'm willing …
@Ben - before someone else responds I hope - the gist of my original post is that in the past it had ALWAYS updated. I can't tell you why. Only recently has it started doing whatever it's doing now.
@rono - who said "The private for profit health care system is imploding before our eyes." Honestly I can't say that's a bad thing. I remember going to the doctor as a kid up through going as a dad through maternity/childbirth. Appointment-treated-d…

2 - I chose the Dodge and Cox discussion to read. The background to that post was white a…
@OJ - you said:
"@Mark- I think that I maybe see the issue: depending on the browser design, when you leave a particular site the browser may simply store all of the data needed to reconstruct that page from its internal cache. When you use that ar…
@OJ - I am using Mac OS High Sierra v.10.13.6 on a 2011 MacBook Pro. My continuing details relate just to this post on the discussion page.
@Ben - Yes, I am referring to the "Discussions Home Page" and not the MFO Home Page.

All I can add here about the D&C stable is that they are a 'value' oriented shop and value has been a fallen angel for quite some time. When value reign's D&C is right up at or near the top like like similar oriented shops. To compare their …
