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 believe that many are thinking the market will go higher if the US reaches a trade/tariff deal with China. Like Junkster I trade/invest with what Mr. Market gives me and spend little time anticipating what I think it should be doing or giving me.
John said "health care etf maybe one of the top vehicles going forward 10-20 yrs from today especially in bio-micro-tech fields"
I believe that's been said quite regularly about the healthcare sector for the last 10-20 years if not longer. The sect…
I call FOUL!!! re: "A Launch Alert for Cannabis Growth Fund (CANNX), which we wrote without a single pot joke."
What good is that. As a long time reader of your reports I've come to depend on the humor. It's a sad day.
Nope, one day moves never get my impulses to go any way or another.
Even if I thought I had a clue Prez Bonespurs would piddle out a tweety rendering a good process worthless at best.
For the last 5-7 years I've had some serious doubt about whether they even had a webmaster or IT department. Can anyone confirm? Their recent discussion forums renovations are a disaster.
The above post was found in the AAII Journal of May, 2019. The snippets were related to a survey done by Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies. The survey report is here:

From the AAII Journal:
Millennials More Optimistic About Retirement Than Older Generations
"Among those who participated in the study, the median age at which workers began saving for retirement was 24 years old for Millennials, 30 years old for G…
Not for me it isn't. Yield is too low and industrial component is too high. If I had to pick a competitor it would be DGRO, the iShare similar. I do use RDIV mostly because I don't have enough cash to buy their holdings outright.
@OJ - Here's the CNN progress report:
Hey, I found a conscience!
The same gentleman also submitted on Twitter:
"Here are my principal conclusions:
1. Attorney General Barr has deliberately misrepresented Mueller’s report.
2. President Trump has e…
The largest sources most likely are his daddy, the Russian mob, stiffing his workers and evading his taxes. No doubt there are plenty more but not his businesses. Those are all losing money according to him.
But trails the S&P 500 index over 1,3,5, and 10yr periods and only pays 0.50% more in annual dividends. Nice fund I'm sure and it's hard to argue with success but it seems like it could be better.
@Gary - the original post by Ted linked this article:

Oop's, my bad, spoke too soon.
"Trump administration showers Brazilian crooks with $62M bailout money meant for struggling U.S. farmers."
So... tariffs hurt soy farmers, China turns to Brazil to get soybeans, and then we give Brazilian a bailout?
…
Maybe not so much scared as pragmatic. Time will tell if this approach was the way to go but in the meantime everyone will be hurt by the tariffs (except some US farmers).
Okay maybe not everything, just like 99.98% or so. If you think that companies will just absorb the increases out of the goodness in their hearts you need to adjust your meds. The only business's that run at persistent losses, and proud of it, belon…
by Rothalpy to a WaPo article on the trade war:
"As an American Patriot, I just want to say I am happy to pay a tariff on the things I buy so that the government can give that money to farmers to pay them to not grow beans they can't sell to China, …
"Personally, if the U.S. administration wants to pursue what they consider to be righteous or justified trade agreement; publish the draft and what portions China reportedly will not agree to implement."

Unless I read the article wrong, which is entirely possible by the way, this isn't about ETF's performing this magic, it's about Mutual Funds doing it. Two different breeds of cats.
Ms. Kamala Harris dunking on this fool:
"I’ll be frank: In yesterday’s hearing, Attorney General Barr refused to answer most of my questions -- and when he did, his answers were alarming. He admitted he had never even reviewed the underlying eviden…
