Thank you sma3! We are spending this summer in northwest again. I have no quiet place I can be before noon eastern (9 am here). Library opens at 9am! I've set up a session for Friday, 2 pm eastern ... posted on board. But, if that does not work, just call me at 805 468 9599 ... if I can pick up I will. Hopefully, can pick a day where you can attended from noon on. Very happy to do! c
One of the recommendations suggested at end of webinar was for David and contributing writers of the commentary to hold a brief telecom or Zoom session to answer questions about the issue. Perhaps, too, occasionally have one of profiled money manage…

I believe this declaration works if what's being measured is the time between the…
Posted May inter-month ratings update from last Friday's 11 June data drop ... it actually drops Saturday morning, but is labelled with date of last performance update. The update includes David's latest profile(s) on Leuthold long funds. See Profil…
The 8 June WSJ article mentions:
"U.S. stocks rose Thursday, ending the S&P 500’s longest bear market since the 1940s and marking the start of a new bull run."
That caught me a bit by surprise. Will update this table in July and see if I can u…

I left my heart in San Fransico.
My kind of town ... Chicago is.
Covid seemed particularly hard to San Fransico. Schwab's departure. Many long-time restaurants closed, including some of our favorites like Parma. Hotel Drisco though remains a jewel…
Granted. Value has lagged. Yes, NASDAQ is up 30%. Europe (STOXX 50) up 40%. Germany (DAX). And BRKA is up more than 20%. So is Japan (Nikkei). Rest of World (ACIXUS).
I just find it remarkable. Despite the skepticism. Russian invasion. China US ten…
The S&P 500 has been generally climbing since October or 8 months ago. Month ending data only has us still 2% shy of new bull market. But if you include MTD, the S&P is up 21%. Yay!

In early morning hours, we updated the MFO Premium site through March using Lipper's 28 April datadrop. Should be able to use same datadrop to compute performance through April. Will post when live.

Thanks stayCalm! Good catch. The variable name for Alpha Ratings was updated recently for consistency, which messed-up the search. I've added a month to your subscription for the hassle and the feedback. If you see anything else, or have suggestions…
