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.
In my IRA, sold RLSFX. It simply is not behaving like a long short fund. Again in my IRA, started DCAing into ETNMX
Taxable account, dipped into CIPDX and NCLIX. Waiting and watching before opportunistically DCAing.
Guys stop feeding the wrong people and wealth will be distributed more equally. Don't watch some reality tv shows - you know which ones!
Eliminate some active managed funds for index funds. Don't say you are long term investor and then buy active …
@BobC Just FYI, my suffering in HSGFX has been offset by HSTRX :-)
I have mentioned many times I have viewed my holdings in both funds together as ONE position - my largest. Last year I started taking loses in HSGFX. Rolling the sales into HSTRX ha…
I have to agree. Kids give kids birthday cards, especially girls, I get that. I would rather not receive a gift at all if it is a gift card, and I don't want to give gift card. Give a gift receipt if recipient does not like it.
Giving someone a gif…
@LewisBranham. Yup. I simply call it degeneration of society. We now have a new education secretary who is going to defund public schools at the expense of for profit charter schools. I'm a product of the public school system in America. The public …
@claimui. Isn't ARTGX doing well because it has some US stocks? higher dollar is what is killing international stocks. One would expect ARTKX to underperform ARTGX.
Once again, stock picking prowess is not non-existent, but way overrated.
@expats…
While I worry about affording retirement, it was sobering to see how far up the pyramid my savings have put me.

@JohnChisumJust give all your money to the govt and let them dole it out equally to all. End of wealth inequality.
No thanks.
Sorry bud, but this is exactly the problem. Everyone who comes here know why they come here. Everyone is not looking for…
@DanHardy
Yes. There was NEVER any income equality. Take any form of Government or Economic System. The problem is never with the design as it was intended. It was always in the implementation. The people at the top always subvert it for their bene…
When my ANALysis tells me to reduce holdings, all open Artisan funds get sold immediately en masse. All closed Artisan funds either get sold or I keep a toe in. I think Artisan funds already distributed year end dividends. I should have acted sooner.
i wish i was trump. then i would pass a Stfu greenspam law and every congressman would abstain and that would be it. i dunno what is worse. greenspam having no shame to keep quiet or media not finding enough people to make up its quota
fund companies need to stay private i tell you. to me when they launched artyx i started getting concerned. compare with artzx. while artyx got invested it slightly overperformed artzx. as soon as it did it has underperformed. it is just a more aggr…
Hah! This is nothing but an admission fund was "started" at right time and stock picking be darned, international small caps WILL go down, period.
This is what is especially shameless...
Strategy will reopen to new separate account investors as …
@msf - thank you so much for taking the time. What you provided already is so much better than absolutely nothing. I can try take a brute force approach on the *ed fund families to get a reasonable conclusion on funds that are NTF.
Vanguard needs to start a floating rate fund, that's what. No sudden love affair. I've been having affair on behalf of my in-laws at TRP, and with Doubleline in my IRA for long time.
@JoJo26 I'm sure "Vice Presidents" of Chevrolet and Buick kinda had the same logic. It's good to head your own firm, you keep more of your profits that way, especially if you feel you are "it". Nothing wrong with that, just saying.
No one is in thi…
I think this is opportune time. The next year or so will determine direction of international / emerging markets in the wake of Trump. Right place at the right time is how the game is played. Timing is everything. I am calling *this* now - LG will i…
Let me tell you what I'm NOT Buying. I can't bring myself to increase my International/Emerging market holdings. In my taxable accounts, I'm going to look to reduce my fund holdings.
In my retirement accounts, I'm buying up Value funds toward my c…
Guys common. GP was formed by the blessings of Wasatch. I'm sure they are almost like Chevrolet and Buick. If GP messes up, I'm sure they will all go back to Wasatch.
Why? He ran so many funds at PIMCO. That time no one suggested he was being spread thin. Now he will have just 2 funds, and we are concerned?
Sorry. Does not compute.
Please don't take this the wrong way. I think we all are entirely too sanguine about our intelligence and abilities to do what you are trying to do. I don't think you are looking to do day trading, so I don't think there is enough time to look at ob…
Just trying to make people feel better. My MIL LOST Obamacare. How's that?
Seriously folks if you had another option for Healthcare you wouldn't need Obamacare. With insurance or without insurance is the only call to make. I'm not saying increased …
10000 shares at 0.25 = $2500, the minimum investment for most funds. To prove to you I can make a company go bankrupt, if it reaches 0.25 I will buy. Then we can have "solvent" discussions.
PS I'm also waiting for GROW to go to 0.25 :-P
Maybe look…
what if i let account transfer to Ameritrade and THEN transfer to Schwab. Like I said I doubt I will the deal anyways since I'm already also Schwab customer. But would like to know.
in any case I think deal not going to close for a few months right?
just sitting here stunned that REXX broke my buy-in price of .50 and closed yesterday at .44. i mean, seriously!
Surprised to see someone waiting for a penny stock to be in pennies but then having to buy at less pennies :-)
Seriously, though if…
not that I trade equities, but Schwab is saying if I had account with Scottrade for 10 years then I don't pay commissions on trades for next 10 years? Also, how the heck do I prove I was with Scottrade for any given length of time?
Regardless, I'm …
As I have grown older I have come to the realization most sports and most art are worthless. Collectively we are feeding a lot of people we should not.
33% in cash is stockpiling? My tax deferred accounts are my major savings. I learned from 2000 and only because of it navigated 2008 well.
Not sure what you are asking. Like I said, I am reinvesting 401k contributions because my BIAS is UP, but on…
I also run my ANALysis model daily. I'm still at 66% allocation and UPWARD bias. I only use this for my 401ks/IRAs. The % tells me how much I should be invested. The bias tells me whether to continue to re-invest or not.
FWIW.
Speculation for now.
I'm more interested in what the deal will mean for current Scottrade customers.
Exactly. How gives an FF about other online brokers. I thought Barron's was for individuals, not telling other online brokers what it means for the…
