@hank - ok then. Like I said, capital punishment for CNBC and Gundlach. First print authors had quotas, not Gundlach also has quota to appear on TV from his marketing team.
Utter nonsense. I hope this is not suggestion subpar performance from Gundl…
Guys, I'm not looking to understand bonds. I don't claim to be at expert at anything, but that's not my question. I'm just trying to understand what the heck the Video was about.
For instance, here's one interpretation I want to offer (and you guys…
If you don't own PRWCX, TRP may be willing to allow your in-laws to gift you one share and thereby enable you to establish a position in this fund. I have done this before for friends and relatives to allow them access to a fund closed to new inves…
Because of M*, and now Calinan joining Osterweis, I am going to use OSTVX as buy when down fund rather than a long term fund. Yeah, I shouldn't have been swayed my M*, but it was too late before I figured them out. Given OSTVX is only NTF @ Merrill,…
I am confused. If interest rates go up, bonds will go down. Is what he said as well. So bonds are oversold means what? Bond Funds are over sold? And if so, why is that "ridiculous"?
For the longest time everyone has been saying bonds will tank beca…
I wanted to check out OSTRX until I heard about Jim Callinan. Sorry, but I think he epitomizes everything that was wrong with the Janus Era. RS may not have overseen market timing, but talent? Not sure...
Everyone was making hay when RS was doing t…
Presently feeling like a deer caught in headlights. Not doing much. Also elder princess not making her mind where she wants to go for College so trying to raise some cash for 4 years (yeah I'm going to keep all of it aside). Maybe she'll just go to …
The way I'm able to stay in funds like FAIRX is because of my strategy of never re-investing distributions. Automatically taking money of the table I have found is a good thing, that let's you purchase again when fund hits a bad patch at better pric…
Evermore...NEVER MORE...I used to own it, sold it long time back. So glad I did. If one is supposed to hold for the "long term" - which would have been the argument for me not selling- you will be better off holding Artisan.
Every former manager fr…
Unless of course you said what you did because you were trying to rub it in
Sorry, kind of... but not really rubbing it in. Just trying to point out Hussman's investment style is exactly what you pointed out, and I agree with, that those pessimisti…
Didn't know Ameritrade had $5K min req. Even E*Trade I think dropped minimum to $100 like Scottrade and Schwab. Methinks people moving out of Scottrade if Ameritrade does not grandfather this.
Scottrade offers both CENTX (world allocation) and CINTX (foreign LB) for $100 minimums in taxable and retirement accounts + TF.
Kevin
aah...i trusted M* fund page which still does not list Scottrade. Good to know, then it will be also available i…
Exactly. Let's not give press to people who lose $1B. I don't know anyone who lost that amount they can't afford to win. It's better than me having to shell out 3 grand to fix the aftermath of toilet leak due to sheer incompetence of someone else. I…
Yes, and that public investment record reflects exactly your statement... how talented a forecaster one has to be year after year as the market is going up, to say the sky will fall?
True from an outsider's perspective. However, you have to admit on…
Hmmm....I was actually looking to invest in the International CAPE. Can anyone tell me if this is "me too" research or has Shiller been tracking it for as long as the domestic version?
IF you look at the research staff on website, it is from decent alumni. I'm not rushing to buy because it is not NTF anywhere that I can buy right now until Scottrade becomes Ameritrade.
First time purchase - MOATX.
Glad that this is your first purchase - would've been a rough go the past several years...
Well I wanted to purchase beginning of last year, but just forgot. That was a mistake.
how talented a forecaster one has to be year after year as the market is going up, to say the sky will fall? Less and Less talented with higher and higher probability of being right. While of course most people only remember the last forecast (sic) …

@VintageFreak, In the World Allocation space, I would prefer MTOIX, which is available in Fidelity retirement accounts for a $500 minimum + TF according to a test trade I just made.
Kevin
Thanks. Will research. Only Schwab seems an option for me s…
Try Ainsley Brae Sherry/Satuernes, if you want to save money and invest in SFGIX instead. Not quite 12 year old, but still a single malt and freaking good and dirt cheap.
I peaked in. Not adding at this time, but will do opportunistically. I want to see dollar reversing a bit. If interest rates are going to rise and dollar is going to rise, I don't see how Emerging funds outperform.
hoping they will be NTF at Fido. Plan to scuttle Artisan Global Equity and Artisan Global Small cap already perished. sounds like worthy replacements, especially since I have no inclination to buy Artisan's emerging market funds. These funds might f…
