Same. I sold TAVIX as soon as manager left. Marty didn't manage TAVIX though. I forget the name of the guy. He also started his own funds. Again, forget the name. Maybe worth a look if anyone can remember.
If I want to turn my microwave into an XBox and vice versa, that should be fine. If I do that and sell it, that should be fine too. It's my intellect and my property.
I should be able to use my laptop as a tray.
I should be able to use my CD drive …
@LewisBraham Point.
However, if markets start tanking I doubt Fed will inflation get out of whack.
In any case I thought GMO has been saying this for at least a couple of years now. Some day/year they will be right I suppose.
So basically we should be 100% invested in Emerging Markets for a 2% return???
WTF not simply buy a CD ladder?
Why does GMO not recommend that? I think we can lock in that rate now.
I'm sorry but cynical old me doesn't buy anyone was actually thinking they were doing anything wrong while they were doing it.
At this time maybe some folks are growing a conscious. At the time, why not say anything.
And oh by the way, how about …
The problem is people don't want to take the time to educate themselves or they have been convinced by the "lobby" they are not smart enough to do it themselves. Therefore, crooked, dumb people are able to drill a hole in their pockets and drip them…
Just "headline news" no ???
In any case, unless someone goes to jail, nothing is going to change.
And no one is going to jail.
And nothing is going to change.
I Also Own RPGAX & CCAPX I Did My Research Before Purchasing Them And So Far I Am Happy To Own Them. I Also Own GBLEX. GAOAX, BBALX, TRXIX, MFWTX.VGWLX. For Uncertain Times I Like Global Allocation Funds
I like the way you think (except BBALX I …
Come on guys. Ivascyn chose a time to do it while markets are in turmoil. This way later, he can say "I told you so", or "in spite of challenging markets, blah blah, our fund performed better blah, blah, blah". Same reason anyone does anything.
Why…
What does F***book collect? You should have given your name and email address. not like everyone else does not have it. If you gave your address and phone number, then you have other problems and F***book is least of your issues.
now if you gave F*…
I have a question. If you want to troll, are you not supposed to be on Twitter, or Facebook or something?
Please leave some things for anti-social people.
@Crash, frankly not sure why not. I think I'm more anal and fickle than most when choosing where to invest. IMHO, there is a lot more evil in this world than RPGAX. My fiduciary is TRP, not who they invest in/with. The day I lose faith in TRP, my mo…
Over the last 2-3 years I'm actually seeing the pendulum swing WAY to the other side. Surprising to see large financial firms not getting ahead of such things. At a minimum they don't need such press.
So much for their ANALytical capabilities for p…
Speaking of having faith, I also purchased a TMSRX for my in-laws. Now before someone calls me reckless, here's the allocation, but i will be increasing it to 33% invested. It's really just my MIL now, FIL passed away, and she is 80+

QUESTION. In the old version of MFO, you could reply DIRECTLY to each person who replied to your comment. The response would still be shown in that conversation link, but would show under the person's name (if that makes any sense in how I put it)…
Frankly, I never purchased Yacktman for beating the market. That has never been my yardstick for a while now. I just don't want a fund to tank 50%.
If I wanted to find a fund to beat the market, I would just give up and buy index funds. Which is wh…
@catch22 Haven't decided where I want to move my IRAs and taxable account. Might just leave my IRA alone, but move the taxable.
Ameritrade (and ETrade) have absolutely ZERO credibility with me and there are no limits to how they can F' up. In any …
I need to get off my butt and get out of TD Ameritrade. Frankly, my distrust of TDA is so high I'm worried they will botch my IRA rollovers.
Trying to find some time to read up on fine print, then pull the trigger.
Yup. The next celebrity manager is just around the corner. Just wait till March end 2019 when 10 year performance numbers start getting published. Deja vu all over again. So many managers making their name in a bull market, and now instead of having…
@Ted can I troll your posts, 9 of 10 of which are just financial porn and often repetitive?
One reason I don't frequent the board anymore. I used to come here to escape the incessant noise in the financial media only to find EVERY article of financi…
@bee
Fido Money Market- "FZDXX" is yielding 1.69% at the moment.
Then I don't know why anyone looking at ultra-short bond funds. After expenses how much more do we expect from them?
I have some FZDXX already. Now I'm going to move some more money …
Why does anyone here hold or go to cash if truly not needed soon? Many market-timers, seriously?
It helps me sleep at night. In my IRA I can be anywhere from 0% to 100% invested. I just follow a model honed over 3 or so years. I don't even have to r…
Maybe it is all Kim Jong Un's fault? Apparently "threats" work. And which is why for the first time in many years, North Korea wants to engage with the outside world.
Now this seems to be Trump's official tactic. Let's bully people. It might work, …
VF is admiring himself in the mirror.
Mrs VF: "WTF do you think you are? Brad Pitt?"
VF: "Maybe".
Hurry up,...Slowly. Good things come to those who wait.
I have sent 7 messages to TD Ameritrade. Not ONE has even been acknowledged, forget being responded to.
Need I say more?
Regardless, think about how much you are expecting to trade. $6.95 vs $9.95 doesn't matter that much unless you are going to h…
I thought the consensus was many companies were using tax loopholes / deductions to not pay the higher corporate tax rate. Therefore trump said lower tax rates BUT get rid of loopholes. IF so, net net, no effect really. Of course if we don't get rid…
Shouldn't we be at least a little worried Trump is still keeping his job? I mean on which planet does an executive keep his job after all that's happened ?!?!?!
