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.
Maybe 'David Dennison' wrote it. Or 'John Barron'? Either could do it w/the help of a ghostwriter. ;)
Seriously, though - even though nearly all his folks have denied it, do you think anyone would actually admit it right now anyway?
Looking at its latest holdings I'm less enthused than I was previously. Having taken several rounds of profits from it, I'm presently down to a foothold in this (closed) fund but won't be adding to it anytime soon.
This fund continues to get crush…
I concur with VMVFX. Have owned it since launch and am very pleased with it - not b/c of it's "volatility" thing (which I could care less about) but b/c of its composition and allocations. It's an eclectic little fund but I like it.
The GOP-controlled Congress doesn't care about Tweety's antics or mental state as long as he signs whatever they send him and puts conservative judges on the bench. Meaning, they're complicit in creating, tolerating, and sustaining this national s…
Pence and Pompeo's offices have both just come out denying it was them, so there's that....
I can't see it being Pence. On the Op-Ed page, the Times wrote that the paper published this column by "a senior official in the Trump administration whos…
@Crash: Depending on the Ministry involved, they probably didn't care as long as they got 'their' judges into office and onto the SCOTUS bench. These folks turned a very big and hypocritical blind eye to this guy's antics for that one single reaso…
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAA!
They asked for testimonials/reviews? They could just read the commens from the forums to know all they need to know about their site, both free and premium.
+1 hank. It felt like American values, tradition & civility had returned to DC for a little while, and it was wonderful.
I thought the funeral this morning was one of the most moving things I’ve ever witnessed. I can’t begin to summarize the…
Looking at the new comms services sector, 50% is Google and Facebook, based on market cap FIFTY. That just reinforces my sense that market-cap weightings are a farce and lead to skewed index performance ... and why I don't invest according to i…
As I said earlier in another thread:
As Ann Telnaes observes....

As Ann Telnaes observes....
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/opinions/wp/2018/08/16/trump-distracts-whenever-he-feels-threatened/
... he'll probably start a war on Saturday to distract from McCain's televised funeral in DC....
If the internet doesn't offer total blind support to the current unindicted co-conspirator-inchief in DC, clearly it must be regulated. Because the only 'news' he cares about is that which praises him and strokes his fragile ego - ie, propaganda.
…
Likely very true ... from a WaPo article this morning, and confirmed in other reporting in recent days.....
Wilson added that with McCain in particular, the funeral snub perhaps stings more than most, in part because Trump can’t abide not being th…
I guess something orange (aka the unindicted co-conspirator) just couldn't go without controversy or the media talking about someone else for so long.....so predictable. Gods only knows what he'll be doing during the funeral services as he's on …
My first reaction was he figured "okay, I checked the box about showing 'mourning', what more do they want from me?"
yes, thanks, just wanted to point to his crutch
When the AMERICAN LEGION - representing 2 million veterans - publicly slams you for disrespecting a veteran and distinguished national leader, you are seriously in trouble, which clearly explains the rapid backtracking and semi-sincere statement thi…
This. I didn't always agree w/everything he voted for or did, but I definitely respected the man, his service to our Nation, ability to periodically defy his own party line, and belief in bipartisanship, civility[1], and in something greater than h…
Sure - but what are you giving up in return for it? Choice? Fees elsewhere? Restrictions of some sort or other? There is no free lunch -- even on Wall Street.
@MFO Members; Anytime the cost of investing is reduced, its a win win for investors.
…
I'm totally lost by what this thread is talking about. An awesome fund dropping by a minisclule amount one day is cause for concern? (Puh-lease!) An awesome fund is awesome for years and is a cause for concern?
I'm a happy PRWCX holder and see…
IMO I am with Spencer on this. Good call culling it from PRGTX (I own) as and when he did. I started trimming PRGTX when 12% was in TSLA and Musk started Ambien-tweeting .. but will be adding back as appropriate.
Yes- though they postponed the release of the fund several months ago, citing 'market conditions' if I remember correctly.
I understand a new TRP Capital Appreciation Income fund being discussed. Income (from higher allocation of bond and other i…
MAPOX is great but a bit too conservative for me right now mid-career. I see it kind of like VWINX in terms of boring stability ... down the road when I retire, if MAPOX continues to perform, I definitely see it playing a role in my retirement all…
Josh Brown nails it perfectly in his comments this morning in response to the JPM announcement.

I'm all for long-term focus on things but we can reduce costs too much. To wit: I hate getting annual reports in PDF format -- I much prefer the old hard copy, even if it went from slick paper to (cheaper) flimsy newsprint.
Anything meant to shift…
Those are just his automtic schtick talking points and can be ignored. If he does something for business, it must 'boost business' and 'create jobs' -- any other descriptor would be lost on him. This won't do anything for job creation, just like …
I block pop-ups so maybe there was a reminder on the sell order page. But it was indicated on the page when I bought it -- both the TD and TRP fees -- so I definitely was informed.
@rforne: Did you get advised of penalty before executing trade …
Funny that TRP had a 90 day holding period with a 2% 'early trade' penalty and TDA has a 180-day holding period for a $50 'early sale' penalty.
I just dumped a TRP at Day 90 to avoid the 2% (which would've been a few hundred bucks) but still got h…
I stand corrected! Looks like my adblocker was deleting/hiding the COMPARE button on the performance page. Please disregard my criticism about this particular item and apologies for the confusion!!!
Are you saying that you have to work harder to…
You used to go to Performance and then could extend the performance data back, say 10-15 years. Then there was a COMPARE button you could click to compare all that data with whatever you wanted .... it was more than just a comparison of price or r…
I'm looking at RYT for my long-long term portfolio, actually. For that conservative account I like the equal-weighted feature of that fund!
Very enlightening comparisons among these funds. While it does not have the long-term record of the cubes, …
I like that Spencer trades in/out of TSLA the way he does. He's done okay with it thus far, though I didn't like that it was 12% of the portfolio at one point -- when I began to trim my PRGTX holding.
PRGTX is a great fund and I like it b/c it d…
Sigh. No, I've not found that, either. At least not in any of the ways/areas we used to be able to do it.
As far as I can tell there has never been a way to compare stocks on the NEW site (which is horrible in my opinion). Am I missing somethin…
