Thee problem with real estate funds is that companies may have found that their workers are accomplishing a good deal at home and therefore decide they need to rent less space
I have said this as part of my comments on2 or 3 threads.:Basicaly stock market news is no so relevant . Wait for good news on the health front.A solution isn't necessary but stories like a new drug is starting trials should encourage dipping in
Knowing what I know now I would have sold most things in my taxable account in February and at that time moved into a money market fund all equities in my tax sheltered account. At this time I would maintain my anti virus plan which is to not sell b…
Sorry but no . Every purchase I made this week (I was smart enough to not buy last week )was wrong) instead consider my strategy
Probably too late to sell though I could be wrong. I don't think you should buy because stocks are "cheap". WAit for s…
The link Gary1952 provided results in a page saying "Discussion not found">My guess is that it is a an official action. Too bad I love to read about splats and see if the nasty gets too nasty
If I read the article correctly since 1990 the bottom 99% sold about 1 trillion in stock to the 1%.That is surely significant but I would guess that if you are in the 1% you probably never had to sell stock because you need the money(perhaps to re…
I don't think that all 12 mistakes are mistakes and don't think most on this site will either.Of these the least likely to be a mistake is # six as the default in most plans is an age appropriate target funds. I keep 10% of my investments in an age…
I own about 1/3 of these funds and also held Magellan which I sold at one point. THe only way to avoid these funds if you have invested for a long time would have been to decide that if a fund was written up it was too late to invest in. I guess I…
Sorry to pick on the new guy(I guess it didn't take long) but I have no idea what SA was(Wikipedia mentioned Samurai attack salvation army, sexaholics anonymous and other things which in context made no sense)OP or someone else what were you talkin…
What is the point of this thread? If the fund is closed others can't invest in it so knowing some like it is not helpfuL
What's the point of your comment?

I believe for every fund with the same target year T.Rowe Price has a higher allocation to equities. Its not just the active management.. Fidelity used to be the worst choice of the big three because they put their worst funds in their target funds …
I don't know if its Ted's fault but I have not been able to get into any recent articles on morningstar. I get the article and a few seconds later it disappears and all I get isa morningstar ad. Is this a firewall issue where I have to subscribe

History may make me look foolish but I don't think the market will be in serious trouble unless and until its clear that Trump will leave office which seems unlikely in the next 6 months. Since you are conservative I would go with 25% oakbx 60% th…
Speaking as just about a gamma dog(on a good day) I think Ted makes a great contribution with his posting of links and Old Joe makes an excellent contribution with some of his comments
I agree that sometime in the next 10 years the market will gain only 5% and possibly lose up to 25% but its not clear how believing that will make me money or even save me some. Getting the level right is useless if you get the time wrong.
Perhaps I am naive but I was surprised for the overwhelming number of nasty comments associated with hid death in the Obituary articles. RIM for" rest in misery' was common. Maybe if his will makes more donations to charity then to conservative caus…
In case you wondered the Karner Blue butterfly is a protected species in parts of upstate NY. Its on of the animals that is very particular about what it eats
Perhaps its too obvious but surely taxable v. Tax deferred or not taxed(such as Roth ) makes a difference.Perhaps tax loss harvesting might affect how often you rebalance particular if the date you pick fora yearly re balance is your birthday or s…
Thanks OJ - Interesting. Meanwhile, Moore was on Bloomberg this morning talking his case. I suspect he’s campaigning on the other networks as well? It’s hard not to become very cynical about all this.
Meanwhile ... another possible “fly in the (pi…
Assuming that current share holders can still add to their position I think FIDO may have done the right thing for current shareholders. IF there is great demand fora fund announcing a close in 30 days or so makes more money flow in and the fund tha…
Hardly surprising. Since the previous year was negative,one would expect the most conservative funds to do well. Given how big the last quarter was we would expect an aggressive fund to be the winner
