That is wonderful Ted. Let the record reflect that I sold a position in MIDSX the first week of January. So far it is up over 14%. Oh, woe is me! :( :( :( Regards, Mindy

Hi Catch. From this I think I will do better in bonds. I shall dump MIDSX today and put the leftovers in VIPSX. At 13%, It's going to take three years to make up what MIDSX cost in one. Congratulations to you on another winning year. As for me…
Rono: LOL Thank you and Merry Christmas.

That's like saying Santa doesn't exist. Of course Fund Alarm's spirit lives on here at MFO. Merry Christmas to you too (Old Scrooge). (: (: (:

I'll be all around in the dark. I'll be everywhere. Wherever you can look, wherever there's a fight, so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever there…
Well, maybe midsx gold fund. Not sure yet. I started putting a little in last December. Seemed better than the stinky Christmas club at the credit union that paid no interest. It has gone down but I still add to it when I can. I shall wait one mor…
Hi Catch. Father - bless his soul - would have said your truck's engine is running. He had a thing about that and always corrected me. Maybe just a little truck? LOL.
Enjoy your posties, Mindy.

To Ed,
"I ’M nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there ’s a pair of us—don’t tell!
They ’d banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!" …
Reply to @DPN: LOL I am surprised people still read this after a month. Well, I was worried about being down 16 percent than. I only wish! Now MIDSX is down 25 percent. Already told the grandkids no presents until Grandma recovers her losses. Let'…
Not to insult you or your question, but kind of like, "faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive" LOL

Thank you Maurice for a very thoughtful answer. Adding some cash sounds reasonable. Unfortunately short term savings are largely depleted due to several unexpected medical expenses this year. Husband's root canal and dental work exceeded the max yea…

Maurice, I nearly flagged you but than I thought: Well! You can buy gas grills and accessories at Amazon and support MFO, so they must be allowed here.
We got one from Amazon a few years ago, but my husband cut his hand, swore a lot, and drank a…
You are so right John. Pickety-pick-pockets most when not busy twittering. LOL. Think I'll bury some tin cans around the back yard to keep their hands off. Not sure what to put in. Gold, silver, maybe some emerging market bonds?
Thanks John for some good reading. The one on beating the market looked nice but than I read it and it is really about the hanky panky some use to make their returns look better than they really are. Is there no shame? So far it looks like Sketter …
