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…
How many businesses set up shop in Mexico to NOT make a profit or greater profits? It's pretty much the other way around. If you want to hurt businesses in the US then stop buying the stuff they export from Mexico back into the US. Of course if you …
@John - who is Barry? If you are referring to President Obama then remember what he had to work with, an obstructionist GOP congress and senate hell bent on opposing anything he wanted done for the good of the country not himself.
@Ted - "Much to do about nothing!" Tell that to all the government employees doing without their pay checks while either continuing to work or laid off.
And you left out the most important part:
"This figure assumes that the government pays amounts…

I'm with Meghan McCain on this "America has always been great" although it's taken a real beating to that image the last two years. And no, rono is not joking. Sterilization will do fine.
Without even looking I was figuring that this article was written by Hussman. It's no less inane when I find it written by that whack-a-doodle from the other side of the aisle.
I can't give you a yes or no answer because I don't know your total situation. I can tell you that PDI is still trading with at a premium, earning it's distribution, has a negative z-score and provides a +10% distribution.

1) What does this have to do with mutual funds?

Sold my riskier stuff a few weeks back (it's mentioned somewhere in the bin of MFO posts but dang if I know how to find it).
Not initiating any new positions or even adding on to those I hold unless they get spanked really hard.
