@rforno- I have no idea re RWMGX or RERGX, but we did very well with WaMu and EUPac Growth many years ago. For many years we primarily used AF in our accumulation phase.
Like other fund companies at the time AF did have a high front load (about 5%…
Every damned one of them is an egotistic, narcissistic, self-important POS. None of them think that they need to talk to anyone else about anything..
This will, in the long run, be a major source of their undoing.
Let us pray...
• Do you believe that the present administration has the slightest idea where their various interests and beliefs are going to take the general economy? @Mark, quoting Paul Krugman in another post:

Yes, I'd forgotten about the electrons actually pushing other electrons to create current flow. Both of these were excellent, and yet another instance of the unpredictable knowledge that we can learn from the posters here at MFO.
Thanks for these.
That's the way that I see it also. Making me wonder exactly how much "remodeling" will actually occur? I believe that he's closed it in spite and that it will stay that way until he's gone.
Oh yes. It's on the north bank of the river. Before we built the new house it would sometimes run through the old place. The new ballroom will have to be on a barge. :)
Extensive treatment of this in this morning's WSJ. Won't post the whole thing here, but it's essentially in agreement with above observations. Basically, some dislocation of software, yes, but nothing very dramatic, especially for existing large dat…

@hank- I ain't no "metal guy". As I've mentioned a few times, having everything in supposedly safe MMKT funds, CDs and Treasury may (or these days, may not) be safe, but it's surely totally boring.

Perhaps NASA is rushing things a bit to curry favor with Trump, who already doesn't really care for NASA. If he thinks of it he might very well SAVE TRILLIONS of DOLLARS by gutting NASA and starting a new MAGNIFICENT TRUMP SPACE and MOON RESORT comp…
