I'm aware of that. I just wasn't aware that ETF's have a different set of rules. FWIW I don't put a whole lot of stock in the daily list anyway but I do monitor quarterly changes.
OJ-just a hint, it's not for the customers yachts. Good fund though. I'm thinking that shareholders are not crying on the way to the bank or anywhere else for that matter.
Maybe with a (private) hedge fund you just hand over your money and let the manager(s) do their thing but with a publicly traded fund isn't there some expectation of just what you as an individual investor are investing in?
I agree with msf in that…
The difference, however slight, is that you indirectly pay for the library's subscription to the material via your local taxes. At least that's how libraries in MN obtain materials. I guess I'm just an old school dinosaur who believes that one shoul…
So let me ask all of you that don't feel the need to pay for someone else's work, did you perform your job for free? I know, too easy.
And Ted, no one knows that you're posting a subscription article until AFTER they've viewed your post so your vie…
About GLFOX - I've owned it off and on as the market sectors (primarily electrical utilities) wax and wane in valuations. If you don't mind a fairly steady 10% annual return on your investment and a fund that doesn't garner a lot of media attention …
That funny taste in beer is beer. I'll stick with agave juice which has no foam, fizz or god forbid water in it. However don't tell anyone but I do enjoy a Guinness.
OJ - it's a point but I'm not sure it's a good point. I'd call it a minor point. I believe that less than 5% of the vehicles on the road are either hybrid or electric (and do note that hybrid's still require some form of fossil fuel). I'd like to th…
To be clear, I'm not advocating that anyone follow this portfolio. I merely offered what I felt to be an interesting illustration of one persons experience.
The question was raised regarding how fine and dandy this portfolio did over the years sinc…
Good question Derf and the answer I believe is 'who knows.' What I can say with a fair degree of certainty is that barring a dividend cut or elimination the portfolio's income will continue to increase no matter what the value of the equity componen…
Well, that's kind of true VF. I purchased mine with a lot of long hours, hard work, perseverance, dedication and plain old stubbornness along with my own funds.

@msf - Thank you for that correction. That's an important distinction. In my head that means that if you contribute to a retirement account with your employer, be it 401k, IRA or whatever else they call it and you remain employed past the age of 70.…
There was an article posted about a week ago about some dividend paying ETF"s that not only paid regular income but also beat the S&P 500 over a 5-yr span. PEY, RDIV and SPHD stood out to me from that group. Your neighbor will need a brokerage a…
I did a google search on "can one delay RMD's past age 70.5" and found several linked articles but none of which pertain to mutual funds so consider this input useless or of little value.
It seems that you can if you are still working for the same …
Be advised that MGGPX is a world fund with a current allocation of roughly 55% US/ 45% foreign and cash. In my opinion this makes it incomparable to your current Int'l holding.
I am of the very small minority opinion that you don't need a dedicated…
Mike - it appears as though all classes of this particular fund are. I can't speak for any other Virtus fund. Be aware however that my input has been deemed of little value.
If I'm reading my graphs right PRHSX (the only one of the mentioned fund I own) has clawed it's way back from the Dec'18 dump. I'd love to know how many shareholders dumped it and similarly slumping funds.
Derf - if you have a library card you might try looking up articles through your local library. It might not work everywhere but for plenty of people it does.
JoJo - the last time the board looked at OS's portfolio there was upwards of 60+ funds within. It's almost a given that there will be an American Family fund in there and likely more than one.
Now, do you have any suggestions for other EM funds or …
Get your facts straight Brian. Obama did not declare an 'emergency' with respect to DACA. He declared an 'executive order' after waiting for Congress to move forward on legislative measures to address the situation.
