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.
Meanwhile back at the food shelves sources stated that an agreement to temporarily end the shutdown have been reached WITHOUT any wall building funds. President Coulter ain't going to be happy. Too bad.
I don't own FPACX. I have found Zacks to be one of the least reliable investment research ratings firms around. In short order they will quite possibly have a buy rating on FPACX. In other words their buy/sell advice changes with the wind direction.…
Good article. I couldn't help but notice that fully 2/3rds of his employees are women. However, this now begs the curious question, how come he doesn't have a woman managing some of Berkshire's money.
I keep wanting to ask dt and the veep how stupid can you be but I think they accept it as a challenge. To suggest that that fool is even remotely similar to MLK is beyond revolting.
I guess the reopening is a bit of good news. It'll give everyone affected by the government shutdown a place to wander around aimlessly doing nothing with the paychecks they don't have and won't be getting.
"BOTTOM LINE - The legendary investor is going big with one last bet: Using 98 percent of his net worth in the battle to save the Earth from the ravages of climate change."

@Derf - I've been using an electric Kenmore clothes dryer since 1976. Two years ago I had to replace the belt which spins the drum.
I also have a 24-yr old Kenmore washer still going strong.
"The last three weeks have exposed the lack of empathy of a billionaire President who shrugs off the struggles of federal workers who work paycheck to paycheck. Trump is clearly more concerned about a pet political project than his constitutional ro…
NO! NO! NO! It's not OK nor will it ever be. Try telling that to all the people who may be possibly evicted, foreclosed on, having their utilities shut off, going w/o food and medicine you name it. And not just them but all the millions downstream a…
According to the "Delusions" article by Josh Brown linked yesterday I'd have to agree with you MJG in saying not so much.

You're absolutely right JoJo. You picked out arguably the highest paid profession in the list of 800,000 government employees, comprising 1.88% of those affected to try and make your point and nailed it. Now that you've vilified those scumbags what …
Again with the blanket statements JoJo. I think that you're making a lot of presumptions that may not be so. Just as not everyone lives an unattainable lifestyle so to do they not have perfectly manicured finances. Do you know what full time nursing…
@JoJo -
The median annual wage for air traffic controllers was $124,540 in May 2017. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $67…
Not to worry David. According to individual #1 in the Florida article "It's mostly Democrats who aren't getting paid." Just think, if we would have had a legislative branch of government completely controlled by the Republicans the past two years al…
To be fair I've never gone down this road but I believe the major brokerages (i.e. Fidelity et.al.) may have an education center for bond investors. You might also check the M* Discussion Forum for Bond investing, along with the usual Google search …
By Allen Clifton:
"A quick civics lesson: Just before the government shutdown began, the Senate, led by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (a Republican) overwhelmingly passed a bipartisan bill that would have kept the government open.

In answer to your original question about HSGFX you could have tripled your money over the last 10 years with an investment instead in PRPFX assuming you have the mindset of forever pending gloom & doom. I would/could never take a meaningful pos…
Ford for me as well and I'm looking to add to TGT and ABBV. Dare I say this, I'm looking for T to have a run up to the $35-40 range so I can dump it. Yeah it's a fav of many a DG investor but frankly it's 10-yr total return has been abysmal. I might…
Like everyone else I took a beating in December.
Brokerage (50% of assets): mostly dividend growth stocks, (2.90%)

MFO comes through again! Next time post a complaint on Twitter. My son tells me that you'll get a response from the guilty party(ties) within hours if not sooner.
I'm curious hank, over the long term (>10 yrs) what do you get from holding 5, 4 different balanced funds? To my mind they serve roughly the same purpose. Their portfolios may differ by an individual stock or 2-3-4 and their bond holdings likewis…
I agree with you hank and share your disgust. I'd like to see no shutdown nonsense but if our representatives are not going to do their jobs then all future wage withholdings should apply across the board to all civilian employees from the president…
