Not to worry.
It's rumored that Mr. Plotkin will receive a Norelco Multigroom 9000 in his Christmas stocking.
He'll just need to step away from the 10-K reports, 10-Q reports, and free cash flow …
How many of us would even visit the place if it wasn't for the portfolio and watch-list features? Well, maybe the daily market style-box would get a glance.
Bought starter position in SECYF, which supports Canada's oil/ng sector with wastewater disposal, similar to what Aris Water Solutions does in the Permian --- which got bought by WES a few months ago. (I have an open order on WES as well.)

Thanks for that, @WABAC. I've been wondering ever since the FOMC rate announcement on 12/10/25.
de nada.
I'm hoping the Prez is enjoying all the diversity and inclusion in that group. :-)

"I'm a big fan of BBBMX/BBBIX, but the duration, while miniscule,
is about three times that of the funds linked to by @msf."
I have a T-Bill maturing in early January.
The proceeds will be funneled into BBBIX.
BBBMX was previously held in a differe…
Thanks for the info yogi.
Any Fed watchers have any opinion on these folks, especially whether they are hawks or doves on inflation?
Heck, I don't even know if any of them get a vote on rates.
I'm a big fan of BBBMX/BBBIX, but the duration, while miniscule, is about three times that of the funds linked to by @msf. Considering the topic, I'll add this from the folks at BBH:

This article from M* seems to paint a different picture. I don't see the article discriminating between retail and institutional investors.
Consistent with the past several months, flows favored taxable bonds, especially lower-risk areas within it, …
I always have something in small and midcaps. I don't claim foresight to know when they will go in or out of style. Some of them (VSMIX) are doing better than others (FMIMX and XHMQ) these days.
If you add the equity style box to your views at M* y…
I've owned POSKX in the taxable since 2012, and the cap gain was . . . dozens of donuts . . . more donuts than I originally invested way back then.
Stranger still, it has somehow vaulted into the 12 month and YTD lead in my US equity watch list.
It's a strange world where the indexes are setting records and VEIRX is beating SPY YTD and over 12 months, and FMIEX is beating QQQ over the same time frames.
Speaking of the 500, I have to go back 10 years on my watch list to see SPY crack the to…
@hank- If you do, please let me know too. Many years ago I used Google for searches, but I've never used gmail, and I still get pop-ups from many sources asking me to "sign in to your Google account". Like you I use Firefox, but I don't know if that…
Expense ratios have always been a big part of their research as long as I have been reading.

I like most of my bond funds to have a low correlation to the S&P 500. But other factors certainly come into play such as duration, and the nature of the bonds the fund is investing in.

From Michael Antonelli market strategist at Baird - since 1929 only one recession has started in year two of a Presidential cycle. So if you are looking for a recession in 2026 you are up against daunting odds.
