ARKK: one number and one target 1 -
1 -
1The last profitable day for initiating a buy-and-hold position in ARK Innovation was one year, one month and one day ago. Somewhere in the mid-day. Good news, I guess, is that any purchase made after that day is a candidate for tax-loss harvesting.
64.9%
The amount by which ARK will have to rise for get positions established in early February 202
1 out of the red. The fund saw huge inflows in the fourth quarter of 2020 and most of the first quarter of 202
1 as investors rushed to buy the previous five years' returns. Which is to say, almost all of ARKK's investors are likely underwater.

There's an interesting (somewhat semi-pro) piece on Wood's long term record at
the anonymous InvestmentWatch blog. The author's takeaway is
almost all of Cathie’s major outperforming years come during special periods in the market cycle, particularly in the periods following a market crash ... Outside of those special events, Cathie’s funds generally underperform equivalent style peers on a year-by-year basis. She has a history of leaving a fund during or following a period of underperformance, then “rebooting” in another fund. This includes a short stint in a hedge fund that lost over 80% of it’s AUM.
That last caveat shouldn't apply now, but the others are useful reminders.

When good transactions go bad - T. Rowe Price + Vanguard FWIW...I just completed an DB plan rollover to my exiting TRP IRA Rollover (Brokerage). It was seemless and I had no need to interact with TRP.
A few years ago, when changing jobs, I tried rolling my 401k at former employer into Fido (new 401k at new employer) and had issues with a small amount of the proceeds considered 'after tax' money from the sale of company stock. Fido wouldn't process rollover so I switched to tRP. They obliged and asked for a Letter stating what to do with after tax $$$...simple fix!!! TRP received my proceeds because Fido couldn't accomodate me...
When good transactions go bad - T. Rowe Price + Vanguard I think that TRP allows 401k/403b transfers into its closed TRP funds. But you ran into problems because you tried to move VG IRA funds into closed TRP funds. I am surprised that this didn't come up before hand in your talks with TRP.
But, all's well that ends well.
REMIX lost -5% today Standpoint fund management explains the poor November performance in this quite detailed accounting of its long and short positions.
https://www.standpointfunds.com/fund/documents/under-the-hood-november-2021As some here opined recently, the fund was long oil and petroleum products at the time the Omicron news hit. It appears that the bets on oil have been closed out. I found it somewhat soothing to know that the fund is betting on the price of coffee; I contribute ever so slightly to the demand by regularly ordering 5 pounds of organic dark roast Honduran Marcala elixir.

This New ETF (SARK) is Betting Against Cathie Wood and ARK “All of the Stocks in Cathie Wood’s Ark Innovation Fund Are In a Bear Market Except 2”CNBC 
Is China a bear market opportunity? It sure seems like Cathy was on to something. FSEAX (-12.92%) and ARTYX (-10.96%) have been real downers YTD.
On the FSEAX front, the fund manager had a contrarian opinion in October (Fidelity Commentary)
“Yet I continue to be bullish on the outlook of China over the medium to long run,” Zhao says. “I’m seeing some attractive stock prices in many of the new-economy segments in China following the recent market pullback, and I welcome the correction caused by short-term concerns, which I find are great times to build long-term positions.”
He believes increased regulations on China’s internet companies and concerns among China’s leaders regarding wealth distribution in the country are not anti-capitalistic and not meant to stifle entrepreneurship. The regulations, he says, are in fact beneficial for the long-term growth and stability of the whole economy.”
At this point, I’d like to know what Zhao’s definition of medium to long run is.

data set for bonds going back to 1978? Most of my data sets go back to 1988, but I'd like to push my analysis of bonds back to 1978. Do you know of any bond mutual funds, or any other data sets of bond portfolios that go back to 1978, and where I can download them from? Thx!
I'd like to see what happened to bond investments when the fed raised interest rates in the early 1980s.
