Value time again ??? Recent indicators and returns pointing a new direction for the hot money? My domestic equity sleeve, found in the growth & income area, consisting of ANCFX, FDSAX & SVAAX has had some nice upward movement this past rolling month (up +2.93%) while my large/mid cap sleeve, found in the growth area, consisting of AGTHX, AMCPX & SPECX has been stumbling (down -0.68%). In addition, my small/mid cap sleeve, also found in the growth area, consisting of IIVAX, PCVAX & PMDAX is up +0.94%.
From a Global perspective my global equity sleeve (growth & income area) which consist of CWGIX, DEQAX & EADIX is up +0.63% while its cousin sleeve, global growth, found in the growth area and consisting of ANWPX, SMCWX & THOAX is down -1.22%.
I find it interesting that my S&P Equal Weighted 500 Index Fund (VADAX) is up +2.34% while its cap weighted cousin (SPIAX) is up 1.66% for the same rolling month.
So, it seems form review of the above value has lead growth for the past rolling month within my portfolio while an equally weighted 500 Index fund leads (its cousin) the cap weighted one.
Watch out, its capital gains distribution time for a good number of mutual funds. Got one yesterday, at about 6.7%, form SVAAX. Since, market valuations are pretty high, by my metrics, I'm taking most all distributions in cash. Come January I'll decide what to do with my year end cash distributions..

Trailing comment: Overall I am currently about 40% value, 30% blend & 30% growth.
DoubleLine Shiller Enhanced CAPE down -6.5% today? Is this an error, or what the heck happened? DSENX down -6.45%. That's what I see on my Schwab account.
Value time again ??? Recent indicators and returns pointing a new direction for the hot money? I’ve felt it was “value time” for the past 5 years. But that’s just me. Not everybody sees it that way.
On the other hand, doubt anything out there is really cheap. Proceed at your own risk.
Warning: You are about to enter the “annual distribution zone.”

Gundlach Says 'Strange Environment' To Be Cutting U.S. Corporate Taxes: + Yellen's Legacy JG on why commodities might be a good choice over equities:
In a response to a question about whether having 10 percent of a portfolio in gold is "too much," Gundlach said he would rather put 10 to 15 percent of his investments in commodities broadly rather than gold alone.

How AI Will Invade Every Corner Of Wall Street
Fraudulent CC Transactions Thanks for all the comments guys. One reason I haven't contacted Lyft is because I am not their client. Best to work through Discover. THEY are liable for all charges and can deal with Lyft. We have new card now and don't see any other transaction we don't recognize.
Why wait for bill to arrive in mail? Good question. One reason - simplify life. There is already too much computer / online usage we are trying to cut down. As family I make my daughter call me from college instead of continuous texting, for instance. I want to check mail just once a week and pay bills. I DO NOT want to be constantly connected. However, one thing we should do I realize as I'm typing this is to sign up for text alert when card is used.
Now once again, Lyft app asks for Name, CC#, Security Code, Address, Phone Number. You would think they would verify ALL before letting you use the app. The ONLY party that can easily know all of the above is someone at Discover. The waiter who takes my card away could perhaps be "selling" information to someone who can dig up my Phone Number and address. BUT how does he spoof my Phone? I know it's possible to do that because I've received calls from myself asking me to type last 4 digits of my SSN from cyber theives out there (google, it is fairly common)
Someone (how?) stole my information happens to be a Lyft employee? Okay, HTF did he get Security Code? Or the waiter above worked with someone from Lyft?
Sometimes the answer is indeed the most obvious one. I agree I might be suffering from unconscious bias since my personal experience on identity theft was an inside job, I'm predisposed to thinking that's the case again. I don't buy someone was "testing" the card with Lyft. How many times does he need to test? There were 25+ transactions over 3 weeks.
Finally whenever CC card is used online, they ask you BILLING address. If you are receiving something there is SHIPPING address. If Merchants are not verifying information against BILLING address they are not fulfilling their fiduciary responsibilities. Lyft is not a Mom-Pop shop.
It would very well be a CROOK at Discover or INCOMPETENCE at Lyft or Both

Why buy bonds, and a few short lists Hi
@bee,
Thanks for posting your findings on IOFIX. Indeed, I found the review of the material to be interesting. Don't know how Junkster finds these kind of funds ... but, I am sure glad he makes "some" of his better findings know on the MFO board.
I'm looking to read what he has to say (on his picks and thoughts) come January.
In addition, I just came form viewing the earnings outlook on the S&P
500 Index for 2018 on several sites I use for reference. Seems forward estimates are looking towards $1
55.00 full year on down towards the $13
5.00 range. Let's see ... $13
5.00 X 20 = 2700 ... $1
55.00 X 20 = 3100 ... and, a blended number of $14
5.00 X 20 = 2900.
Your guess is a good as mine ... but, the blended number bubbles pretty good.
Value time again ??? Recent indicators and returns pointing a new direction for the hot money? I cruise through the Fidelity family funds to look at the various funds and their actions. At the Thanksgiving period I noticed that most of the funds that were associated with "value" were having positive days when growth funds were either neutral or down. I continued to watch and
perhaps the hot money wants to move to the down trodden market area; at least relative to growth for this year.

---JKF = +1.1%
---JKE = -1.2%
The past week for these two:
--- JKF =+4%
--- JKE = -1.2%
JKF has a YTD return of: +13%
JKE has a YTD return of: +28.9%
Well, anyway; perhaps something to think about viewing your favorite growth and value investments comparison.
Most assuredly would appreciate comments.
Take care,
