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.
This was the key sentence for me.
"And over 90% of these bonds are AAA, AA, or A rated."
After watching "The Big Short", I say bulls***. IF you just said it is fund from Vanguard, duration approx 5 years and diversified with 9000 bonds, you had me…
Wanted to add, the hospital put lien on house and everything. Any contact I had with hospital staff was rebuffed. No phone calls back, nothing in writing or emails. I was forced to hire lawyer. That's how the game is played.
The guy who hit me had …
Ridiculous of course. When you don't have insurance or are out of network no rate has been negotiated. I recall when I had my accident few years back (the one before last) and was taken to emergency room, I got bill for $38K. Of course I had a stern…
I think is Anna is right. Quite a few times someone drives up in a car and delivers and I have not seen any photo notification then. I checked and the first time I got such notification was April 2019.
BAML's Savita Subramaniam recommended following 8 sectors for 2020 which I dipped into yesterday and today a bit using Fido proxies (if I had known US was going to assassinate Iranian general, I would have held off, and now am holding off for a bit)…
Did Trump just insure his re-election? No way Iran keeps quiet after this. The nuclear deal is off. Iran will do something for sure. US will go to war.
Everyone's retirement will be effed because of Artificial Idiocy. I always thought it would be …
Stupid Question. If one makes $100K / year, one can contribute $15K to 401k regardless of any employer match. So WTF is there a law which says you cannot contribute $15K to IRA if you earned $100K much as self-employed ??? Does anyone think one is g…
Only one Mutual Fund in the list.
Can someone please tell me why one should by NAESX over VSCPX? I was looking to start an investment in VSCPX in 2020.
Unless I'm doing this wrong, VSCPX outperforms NAESX.
As long as they don't change their fund name to "Tactical". "Strategic" is bad (remember HSGFX?) and "Opportunities" is plenty bad AFAIAC. So MCRDX can be changed easily to simply drop "Opportunities".
Japan's market has not recovered now for maybe 30 years?
But yes, nothing else is new. Maybe one thing. We still don't know who the last person will be who will say that and promptly market will correct, and then we will all remember him as THE guy.
@ron, no one would fight you on that thinking. however, a wise man - who I didn't meet until too late - once said, "no one went broke paying taxes". besides if you are retired, you are seeking income and distributions serve that purpose automaticall…
Now they are simply messing with us. Why?!?!?!?!
You think they have clients (sic) who asked them to do this? Doesn't it affect the capacity of FMIJX since it should invest in the same stocks without hedging dollar?
Vanguard Prime Money Market. At least while you are thinking about it. I'm so glad I did that while I was thinking about it. I'm still thinking.
I thought about this 10 times in the last 3 years. Every time my answer was VMMXX. Looking at my return…
confused. please tell me fund that has lowest risk. I thought MBS had much higher risk than another SD fund with same characteristics. Or is my judgement being clouded by the financial crisis?
I am looking for some punch over my MM funds with minim…
Yeah, interest rates are going lower again. I am upset my Vanguard Prime Money Market gave me lower dividend last month. I have low equity allocation in my taxable accounts.
I have started to migrate toward locally brewed whiskies in TX. Some from Austin are pretty darned good. I've done this mostly because I am trying to buy American, and regardless of tariffs.
I also own MOATX. I also own VWELX. I'm distressed looking at VWINX which I didn't buy and bought MOATX instead.
It will actually be good if MOATX was compared with balanced funds because in my mind, cash is interest bearing bond.
If Charles Lynn Bolin is reading.
The list of funds toward the bottom of his article - either the symbols are not all correct or the names are not all correct, e.g. DODIX is not Alphacentric and VWINX is not Voya.
I'm guessing T. Rowe Price is not paying off someone at M* any more.
http://schrts.co/qgqzSsUp
Or maybe an alert was triggered at M*, it's time to write an article on Value funds they had already decided to pump based on last few days performance.
I would like to add some words to everyone's vocabulary
Wasatchification is being followed by Grandeurpeakery. Let's hope it does not end like Royceleum (okay I like the first two, but the last one could use improvement)
Translated - Pretending to…
I freakin hate the new website. The ONE area I visited was to find out (albeit it was hit or miss) which NTF platforms a fund was sold on. THAT page I can no longer find.
I had never opted for its "alpha" trials. I had ranted about their crap UI ch…
Companies based on engineering hardware should never forget that at the core it's about engineering hardware.
yup! everyone wants to "code" these days. "women who code" is a conspiracy. 20 years from now they will have no jobs. Because most "coding"…
Agree with Charles. After 5 years if you are still down on original investment (I'm boing to ignore whether you doubled your money in S&P 500 in that same time), AND you still want to hold on to the fund, you have lost your marbles. You have as …
Junkster - Please don't feed the beast.
There is so much noise out there. That noise is being carried over to MFO already. So if you think there are some links out there not already posted, maybe let them be?
