FD 1000, bring your drivel back to chang's forum.

And we promise never to visit that wasteland.
And yet it seems you all hang out on BB and repost threads here. Glad to be of service!
@chang We know you are just trolling. Don't pull the "sore loser" card.
They must be missing you back at your other website. You should stay there.
I see. So you are only interested in the views of people who think exactly the same way you d…
@Mark "Articulate"? If pressed, I’m sure I could find ten complimentary things to say about KH, but "articulate"? You don't seriously mean that. The non-answers and word salads are legendary. "I grew up in a middle class family, ng-kay?"
But I will…
And 72,389,776 people… The popular vote was a landslide.
A 3% differential is usually not referred to as a landslide. But hey, whatever narrative works for you.
Kamala 67,878,826 votes
Trump 72,560,841 votes
I get 6.9%. Yes, it works for me.

'not ready for a women in power'.
I think the country - and men - are more than ready for a woman president. Just not an empty-headed one with a horrendous record of failure, who would be a puppet for a secret committee comprised of the likes of Ob…
Might be a useful link after November 5 for some on this board (note this comment is non-partisan):

Thank you all for the many years that go back to the Fundalarm days of investment advice and wisdom. I benefited from it and I appreciate all the thoughtful insights and the great work David and Charles and many others here have done.
Unfortunately…
Down 10% today and now $12.15 in today's AH trading..... it's still $12 over-valued, imho.
For context, today's volume was ~19.2m shares, the average is ~9m.
Up 110% since this post. Could this thread predict future price movement?
I checked some of the Nordic HY bond UCIT funds that were mentioned, e.g., Pareto, DNB, etc. They hold mostly floating rate bonds. Success of these bonds are usually associated with periods of rising rates. Is it possible that we're late to the part…
If DT wins, the first thing I’ll do is check this thread to see the reaction.

Matthews started falling apart a long time ago. They introduced institutional classes to raise fees on investor classes, rolled out (and then shuttered) new funds, lost their best managers to Artisan, and then just started bleeding talent and assets…
Interesting, Baillie Gifford managed. They haven’t done that well with VWIGX either (although the managers are different). Lots of managers with none of their own money invested (per M*).
Recently made this comment on BB, it seems to be related to this topic:
“I have no aversion per se to concentrated funds (fewer than approximately 30 stocks). I’ve seen it work fine, but I’ve also seen it not work. For some reason, OAKMX has histor…
Robinhood offers 1% without a cap, so $50,000 for a $5m transfer with a 2y holding period. Stocks and ETFs, no mutual funds. Tempting, but I passed on it.
Fidelity since 1986. Always been the best, still the best. I had a Schwab acct for a couple of years (a few years ago); the customer service was awful.
“Curious what % of your equity fund holdings are in international stocks and what your favorite funds are.”
Not sure because I don’t use X-ray but I’d guess 25-35% international.
Favorites:
Taxable: passive, dividend paying ETFs (so you can decla…
“Theft”? If the sanctions directly caused financial loss to the Russian parties to the project (the principal Gazprom, lenders, designers and engineers, contractors, vendors and suppliers, etc.) then it could be quite sensible.
@bee that’s the program, just follow your link. Yes, both taxable and IRAs are eligible. I only earned 2-3% (annualized) but in some cases the rates are considerably higher. Check the thread on BB (see YBB’s post) for other experiences.
When China gets hot again, EM-ex-China funds will disappear faster than a rat up a drainpipe. I wouldn’t say they’re a “fad” but I don’t see the point. I’ve placed a fairly small EM bet with a couple of targeted investments but I don’t see any advan…
I recall a time when ABEMX was not only a 5* fund but the undisputed champion of EM funds. Just goes to show that actively managed OEFs rarely stay at the top forever.
Might BA’s woes benefit other defense companies … LMT, NOC, RTX, GD? I read a few days ago that BA is one of the bidders on a new unmanned plane for the DOD.
I own one of BA’s competitors. Wondering if BA’s problems are already baked into the price…
I don’t particularly like the arbitrariness of defining what is an emerging or a developed market. Wouldn’t it make more sense for money managers simply to go where they think the best opportunities are. But slicing and dicing is a fact of life, and…
