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.
@johnN - are you aware of how O and preferred shares faired during the last correction of 2008-9? If so then I don't understand why you would buy those given the coming large correction. Moreover, if a large correction is imminent why aren't you jus…
sma3 - see Stedman Funds, or for that matter why do people still have money laying around with Berkowitz or Hussman. Waiting to get back to even is not an investment plan.
This is a dynamite opinion piece from the NY Times on the resignation. Nailed it!

None, mostly waiting to see what ends up in the bargain bin. I'm mostly in tech, healthcare, REIT's, energy and utilities with a few consumer staples around the edges so we'll see what happens. I've also learned that the less I muck around with my p…
Good riddance! I'd offer him a tissue but no doubt he's already pilfered a years supply from his office. Hope he takes his deputy with him.
@VF - yes a little bit of little sense but then what's your Planet B? Humans are one of the few species that…
@hank -you said "John McCain, genuine war hero that he is, has never flaunted his distinguished service to the nation."
Anyone comparing that to prez bone spurs tells them everything they need to know.
Just when I thought it couldn't possibly get any stupider or funnier. Honestly, I watch the nightly news solely to see what dumber thing he said or did than the days before.
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 …
