Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
I've never thought of Motley Fool as an investment house. I always thought of it as an entertainment site that makes money through advertising. Even their stock recommendations seem to be subpar.
Agree!
Thank you, David. Reading your response and MFO's position on Zero Hedge as an unreliable "news source" has convinced me to continue reading (and benefitting) from MFO and the many smart and interesting conversations connected to investing. I star…
And how many Biden supporters will be turned away at the voting stations in November. I'm not worried about tRump's supporters (it's their right to support him). I worry about anyone else who is not allowed to exercise their right to vote safely a…
I share so many of the same feelings already expressed here. One thing I will add, is that Ted's presence through his many posts (he was a force on MFO, to be sure), his presence is a reminder of how we can be connected to people we never meet in …
Agree @Lewis
As a child, I liked imaginary superheroes. Then I grew up and started to like real ones instead. This fixation on superheroes today by grownups is getting tedious and is a sign if you ask me of an enfeebled culture desperate for imagi…

Hello dear MFO everyone. I rarely post here (the tone is tricky to engage with) but I read often and am grateful for the many perspectives on financial health and responsibility that many share. So for that: a big thank you.
I just wanted to res…
Hello. Longtime reader of MFO and grateful to so many of you for your online debates and conversations about many things relating to investing, the economy, and yes -- politics. It's all connected.
The thing I'm not understanding about this par…
Old Joe: you wrote On my Firefox browser, for example, under "Preferences/Privacy/Show Cookies", there is a folder named "mutualfundobserver.com", and in that folder are some 10 or 11 cookies. What do they do? I have no idea. But if I had a problem…
The other issue with TF is that you cannot economically ease into a fund... if each transaction costs $75 (per Fidelity) then you're better off buying a larger number of shares each time... Yes, some of them have "automatic investing" which eliminat…
Catch: I want you to know that I have read your Funds Boat regularly and found it very useful as another point of view to consider. Anyone who doesn't like that you post it doesn't have to read it... I've never understood why people make a big deal…
