I think Boston Partners Long/Short Equity BPLEX has been the poster child for comparisons in this fund realm. It seems to do it's very best when the market falls down and goes boom but nothing spectacular otherwise. A quick look at M* shows a somew…
He did well with my investment, more than doubled it right up until he was named M* Manager of the decade or some such nonsense. That was a signal for me to sell.
@david - as a dividend growth investor I can't complain about JNJ. Yes it's performance YTD has been flat to muted at best but it's 3, 5, and 10 year charts are the things that make me smile. I picked up shares when they dipped down to 123 and I'm k…
Interesting info on the 'ride' there Hank. I've had both a '98 and a 2009 Silverado half ton extended cab who's ride surpassed any sedan I've ever been in for any period of time. Maybe yours was assembled on the wrong day of the week.
Did anyone happen to notice that the Harbor International funds will be distributing 40% of their NAV. Hope no one holds these in a taxable account. Major OUCH!
08-09. Now granted who didn't crash but it seems that investors held them accountable for not protecting the portfolio(s) better as they expected given the nature of the firms investing precepts (or something like that).
Interesting. Correct me if I'm wrong but my questionable memory seems to recall that they exhibited similar behavior during the last market kerfluffle.
Truth Tarwheel. I practically lived in mine during my working years but the prices have gone nuts. Now I'm starting to wonder if I could sell my current one for more than I paid for it.
Or just to the US Mike. Make your bid folks.

Sure would like to know what JoJo's friends are farming that allows them to thrive.

OJ, if I recall PG&E covers most of the state and there is no other option. Is that correct? Is it true for both gas and electric? I don't need all the gory details. Thanks.
From the article: "I have no expertise in health care issues, so I will leave the question of Obamacare and protections for pre-existing conditions to others."
I don't either but the Democrats made this a front and center issue many times during th…
Since I'm tired of both looking at or listening to either her or her boss this might be exactly the product I need. However, I place no trust and do not believe nor endorse whatsoever anything they promote.
Reminds me of an old saying "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink." Just sad that they swallow the kool aid and believe the lies.
When I think of big names in the music business the 'beebs' is no where to be seen but I can see the attractiveness of the royalties. Isn't that what keeps Elvis near the top of annual earners in his field?
Well I'm as dumb as a rock when it comes to large scale economics and economic policy (ices) but tell me when large scale tax cuts for the already obscenely wealthy have ever done anything to affect trade tariffs and trade imbalances. No thanks.
@Ted - I can understand why you're not a fan of DCAing but how would you suggest that those less wealthy or with less disposable income or investing funds go about building up their accounts?
Don't forget to hold back 37-38% of your winnings to pay the taxes you'll owe at year end for moving into that upper tax bracket. Or maybe hire the tax attorneys working for the unindicted co-conspirator's of the current administration to get out of…
