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.
The misinformation promulgated by the Fox News(???) network is way, way beyond sad and tragic. For the life of me I have no idea why folks watch and believe what they see and hear there and can't see most of it for the garbage it is. Just mind boggl…
I suppose I shouldn't laugh but I found it hilarious especially in the distant view when you could hear a man counting. As it hits the deck I could swear I heard him say "mama - hot - tea"
I would like to hear Ted's personal thoughts or comments regarding how the tariff's may or may not affect his corn crop. There's tons of info and conjecture all over the web so let's here it straight from someone maybe directly affected. Then again …
MJG, I can appreciate your post but the article was not about aging issues. Everything you said is probably true but what good is it if you do not have the financial wherewithal to afford any of it. Have you looked at the cost of housing where you l…
Yes he's a musician but he's been a voice for decency for as long as I can remember. Also, the last time I checked he's still an American with a right to an opinion which is: "There’s the beautiful quote by Dr. King that says the arc of the moral un…
I suppose I could regale you all with the YTD total returns of the PIMCO income CEF's but I'm not feeling the need to rub salt in anyones wounds. Research them yourselves if you're a glutton for punishment.
Sorry but I shall remain skeptical until I see something more concrete preferably in writing. The only thing these two have proven to me so far is that they are pathological liars of the utmost degree. Hell, they don't even agree on what it is they …
Hope you all don't mind if I hold off granting any awards, prizes or praise. All we have so far is a bunch of vague blather from the 2 participants of record. Call me back when you have something chiseled in stone.
Stating what I think is the obvious, a MFO visitor can click on the 'Fund Discussions" category an avoid the off-topic posts all together. However there's no guarantee that the fund posts won't be littered with political commentary.
Well Maurice I was trying to leave politics pretty much out of this discussion and I still am. Since you stated that the article was "totally naive and non-sensible article by SeekingAlpha" please state your reasons why rather than saying that some …
@Sven - I'm not sure how the CEF's will do either but since rates have started up again they have handled the increases without skipping a beat. It has been my experience that it's been investor panic which causes them to retreat which is of course …
MJG, I don't think that you needed to apologize(?) or explain. You made your post to honor and remember those who gave it up when called upon. In any collection of folks there will be some who will stand out as hero's, or the best if you prefer, an…
How is this even considered a commodity fund? Do they spend the day flipping futures or what?
So basically that seems to be the case. From the website:
"The Fund will maintain a core long-commodity biased weighting while tactically allocating to th…
On that we agree and I most certainly hope there are some who will do so when the twit in chief tells them to hit the red button because his feelings got hurt.
No he hasn't Lewis. Soldiers have to follow lawful orders. There is no choice without consequences. Most soldiers themselves would never claim to be heroic or that they performed heroic deeds. They would tell you that they were just doing their jobs…
PTY is scary but only because I expect that at some point there will be an outside event which will give some folks cold feet causing the price to drop. I had been reinvesting the income but I am just collecting it now. PDI, PFL and PFN much less so…
Great story. Thanks for sharing. As a holder of several of their CEF's I couldn't be happier with the performance and returns they've earned for me to date.
OJ it's just not worth it. Get to your cabin, pop a cork and think bout how much your buddy Mark misses it all. You're still leaving me that place right?
