I think it is more of a sign, active stock picking is not going to make much difference. I hope their more diversified (sic) funds stay open. I own MAPOX, MACSX and MSMLX in my IRA.
Everyone read "The Great 401k Hoax" right? Regardless, hapless employees should still invest at least that much amount in their 401k for which they are getting match from their employer. Because that's the best they can do, and the probability of So…
We have to pay for Healthcare but at least we have Zero Cost ETFs eh?
Zero Cost ETFs is a right. We needed them so badly.
Coming next. Free asset allocation advice on how to use those Zero Cost ETFs.
I am calling BS on this one. I have told this story before
Northern Technology Fund. $5000 to invest. Instead of investing the $5000, I thought I will first "study" how to invest. I learnt I should not "lose" the opportunity" and I "should also cos…
Resurrecting this thread.
I am still holding on to my WHGIX shares.
Time to decide whether to buy or use as sell candidate.
Any one has any additional information regarding new management?
Can anyone tell me if ARTJX already took tax hit in 2018? Or is the "hit" yet to come? I was looking to buy, BUT sell before EOY 2019 assuming distributions only happen once a year.
I finally sold out earlier this week. Simple tax planning. At this point if one thinks FAIRX is going to triple, that has the same probability for a penny pot stock. I might actually buy a stock after a long time with the proceeds.
My 2 cents, the biggest problem we have is with people giving press to Trump. Perhaps we should stop doing the same here.
We are expending a lot of energy every day continuously on him. Saying anything on MFO is not going to hamper his chances at r…
I have no respect for His ASSness because he has none for his shareholders. I will never buy AQR which I used to at once, and am glad I got out.
Just look at QMNNX and QLENX. You wonder how these funds performed as they did in bull market and then …
@msf. Fair enough. I can decide how much exposure I should have to non-US markets and let D&C decide for me where exactly that exposure should be distributed. However, then let's not discuss "if only DODFX had more exposure to Asia, etc.".
I c…
@Derf. What's that got to do with anything???
How do good (sic) large cap growth funds perform in bear markets? Causeway is respected and CEMVX has over $4B in assets. Clearly someone believes it should be used for Emerging Market Value investing.
…
Sorry, guys I just don't get you. Look at the link below.

I mentioned earlier it spiked in August. Now it spiked down. If it hadn't done either, it is not too hard to see the NAV would land where it is today.
I don't own t…
All "value" funds where in financials during the mortgage bust. Remember Schneider Value?
The point is we need to stop thinking money managers are geniuses. And more importantly let's stop them from projecting on YOU that YOU are supposed to beat t…
@catch22 unfortunately i am antisocial and don't do effbook and shitter. I did google and found this email did originate from amazon, and it is not a phishing attack, while it seems utterly shameless.
i'm going to try walmart for cheap holiday sho…
@davfor. Thank you. Like I said, that was a year back. At some point of time I don't care who you are. If you keep on being wrong, you need to close shop. There have been reports Grantham has tried to sell GMO but has not been able to do so. You can…
Emerging Value 7.7%
It's about time GMO forecasts start coming true.
High freaking time.

MAVRX
And that Seafarer fund you cannot buy from Brokers
anything else?
aid should always be "need based" from a financial standpoint. it should never be based on any other criteria.
on the other hand admissions should be based on merit. donations or lack there-of is not going to fix this problem, which can make it al…
Okay so it is easy to convert to Admiral shares? Like one button click and everything converts? Or do I have to call?
Asking because one option is just to wait till April 2019...
And I hope this is not going to mess up tax basis calculations. The…
they better stay defensive. i never told Cook and Bynum to get fully invested. At least some of my portfolio managers have to behave.
I have been "artisaning" out into funds such as LCORX over the past few weeks.
@Crash. I solve your sort of problem by making sure my largest holding is one that will never cause me grief because I hold many mutual funds. Of course, this is supposed to be a no-no, but it works for me. How do you think I suffered my "largest ho…
@Crash To be fair to some of them, it is hard isn't it? I mean, they claim their party has been repurposed by OrangeMan. They don't want to leave their party to him because they fear the worst. Instead they want to throw him out.
At least that's wh…
Keep making calls, get one right, money pours in, next call does not work out. But wait...just focus in the middle...money pours in. Classic.
This is a business where you have to be right only ONCE in your life and it will set you up for good.
