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.
I had taken some profits in FMIHX, FMIJX, and few Artisan funds earlier in April
I added to PGIRX, GLBEX, IFAFX later in April
Right now not doing anything. I might take some profits if markets deteriorate and look to redeploy the cash at appropria…
Please tell why sell DSENX specifically over any other Large Cap fund. I was actually looking to see if I should enter corresponding international CAPE fund.
Thanks much
Not "special", but a few other "not so special" mutual fund descriptor's:
A few other names and descriptive terms the fund companies use to try to get your attention:
Enhanced
Unconstrained
Ultra
Moderate
Aggressive
Core
…
There are also "Special Opportunity" funds. I own one - BOPAX.
And I stopped thinking Royce was special the day I discovered they are owned by Please break-a-leg-no-I-mean-really Mason. The cynic in me will never believe Royce operates independentl…
Two family members, one perhaps higher-maintenance (older) and one perhaps more impatient with inefficiency and meh service (younger), are each pretty dissatisfied Vanguard customers. The older is a large-accountholder in index funds and the younger…
The only problem I have with Vanguard is they use warped logic when rounding numbers. Other than that, I've had nothing but good experience with Vanguard.

@Crash. Exactly. Like has been stated above, most purchases qualify for FREE shipping, but Prime gives you 2-day free shipping. Like we really always need things in a hurry.

Recently I read someone claiming SS and M were overfunded because people are working longer, stressed out and so die early. Conspiracy.

It is a Product. The price Amazon will charge is what the Market will bear.
An iPhone costs $1000 now I think. Why?
Inflation...?
Frankly, just like investments, in today's "social" times we overanalyze everything. Let me give you something to worr…
I was hoping the manager of these two strategies, Mr. Heugh, hidden away in Hong Kong, would not attract too much attention. Unfortunately, Baron's profiled him and now this comment from M*. The last thing I want is for big bucks to pour into MGGIX …
So this is way Social is actually Anti-Social. Opinion is News. Facts are Twisted. Everything is true. Nothing is true. Fake News.

I think that you folks must all be way out of line, because Trump's Mick Mulvaney, current head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, just announced that there's no need to maintain a public record of complaints regarding bankers. Maybe Mauri…
@Old_Joe, we are all children and GrandPa knows best
And the median income of Amazon employee is $28,500. This child knows "median" means HALF of Amazon workers make less than quoted number. So just like McDonald's and Walmart, Amazon is the benefi…
Okay...one of the managers is ex-Robeco. THIS is the most important piece of information everyone needs to know regarding this fund.
Too bad it is not available Schwab. Would have nibbled. Fido and TDA (aaaaarghhh!!!) are the only choices
Yeah, that's good. But still need to know reason. Sometimes funds behave certain way because they are actually not following their mandate. Like Legg Mason Value(sic) Trust did for a long time.
I went to the website. The explanation of how they inv…
I don't have anything against new funds, but we gotta know something about it. Just as an example I went into COBYX soon after it opened. Because I know exactly what I should expect and thankfully have not been dissapointed.

@AndyJ - I'm really no 007 and which is why I've largely stayed away from pure bond funds. I can read, but I don't think I'm smart enough to understand beyond a certain level.
@LewisBraham - Thanks! The article made more sense after hearing your ex…
Against my religion to pay transaction fee for Mutual Fund. Especially when those fund have 12b-1 fee already. Makes no sense.
The fact that TDA would screw customers out of their NTF positions when fund already has 12b-1 fee is hardly beyond belie…
The problem is when something looks so good I start worrying about manager being Bernie Madoff's long lost cousin that's all.
If they have hit the perfect formula, people should be piling in so it hits capacity and closes. Maybe that's why Charles …
But how is it able to do that? Very little info on what its invested in on M*.
Incidently their "hedged market opportunity" fund is down 12% ytd. So there.
And their tactical allocation "asset rotation" fund is also sucking wind against category. …
I can't sell fund I've held for years with Scottrade without $49.99 fee. The fund was NL and NTF at Scottrade. The fund is only NL at Ameritrade. Big effing deal it is NL, like I was going to purchase a load fund in the first place.
All I can say i…
I also cited drop 2016-3. That's 2 years back. Really appreciate if someone can look at the chart. It is important for me to know I'm not seeing things others aren't.
I've never invested outright in any bond fund except for RPHYX and RSIVX. That's why I go balanced funds so I own bonds.
I don't get "investing" in bonds. Feels completely counterintuitive.
