Per Yahoo Finance, TMSRX lost 3.21% in 1Q 2020. Haven't compared that loss with other alternative funds. 2021 YTD seems sluggish. Not currently adding to this fund;it's on probation for me right now.
I'll post this here to generate some views. HMEAX has an overhanging cloud due to the bankruptcy filing of its owner. Is this a consideration, and also what guarantees are there that the fund's nav isn't inflated, like IQDAX or IOFAX ?
HRSAX is ntf at Schwab with $100 minimum. 3 year Sharpe Ratio of 2.63 is impressive. Beware that Schwab has a 90 day holding period to avoid transaction fees.
I agree that the history of Australia with regard to the social safety net is not a pretty picture. However, I would venture that Australia's medical schemes of Medicare plus private insurance covers a higher percentage of non-Indigenous citizens th…
ISTR that Milton Friedman popularized the concept that the only purpose of a corporation was to maximize profits,whereas before, corporations were supposed to optimize profits while balancing the interest of various stakeholder classes. If we agree(…
For a small fee, I could help the Fed out by providing some synonyms:temporary,ephemeral,transient,fleeting,temporal,passing, fugacious,momentary, tenuous, and impermanent!
My problem is with American Capitalism, or as Larry Krudlow calls it, "free market capitalism." I much prefer Democratic Socialist Capitalism, as enacted by the leading EU nations, Nordic nations and Canada and Australia-capitalism with a safety net…

A $25 transaction fee at Schwab would be a nice benefit. A $10 transaction fee at any of my three major brokers would get off the sidelines with regard to SVARX , among others.
+1 hank. Based on the Fido chart of OPGSX, 10k invested as of 5/31/11 atrophied to $2,425 by year-end 2015! If I was going to play in this sector, I would consider GDX since I could sell without incurring transaction fees. I'm sure Rono could add q…
+1 MCC isn't even suitable to be comptroller of Staten or Rikers Island ! MCC, Michelle Francis and Trish Regan probably worshipped Ayn Rand , Milton Friedman, and the Austrian School of Economics in their spare time !
I like Hank's approach a lot. I hold a fair number of alternative funds, as these types of funds work, until they don't. My expected yearly return for these funds is 2.5-3 % .My previous experiences with ACVVX QMNNX PAUAX and MFLDX, among others r…
+1 1860 wouldn't work for Speed of Light. One possibility is to use the 4 digit year your college was founded, although I suppose that information could be discovered by hackers/scammers !
+1 Lewis. 1950 is too recent for the anti-woke crowd-They want to go back to 1850. And the White Supremacy ETF symbol(avoiding some inflammatory choices) is WASP !
