NASDAQ - next stop all time highs? FISV (Fiserv Inc) seems to have a fairly tight (for a tech stock) rising 3 and 5 year chart. FIS Fidelity National Informton Systems) and JKHY (Jack Henry Associates) chart nicely as well.
Thanks bee, I then use a revenue and per share growth filter to anything in a tight rising channel. I'll check it out.

Deflation - there I said it ...
Deflation - there I said it ... I thought it was because I (and others) write longer posts, trying to add explanations to our pithy remarks. 19 words, 110 chars.
P.S. Since the original article included India and excluded Japan, "
where's E. Asia" seemed like a legit question, regardless of TB's intent.
2014 estimated (preliminary) year end distributions
Are Health Care Funds Taking PEDs?
2014 estimated (preliminary) year end distributions Absolutely, but I have some funds In IRA's where transaction fees apply and distributions have no fee.
@ronUnfortunately, mutual fund distributions are no windfall. In an IRA, fund distributions are neutral because the fund's NAV drops by the amount that is distributed (a $20 NAV turns into $
5 cash and $1
5 NAV or if reinvested into $
5 in new shares and $1
5 NAV). There are a number of sites that explain this concept well. You may want to check out:

Maintenance complete on 11/15 Accipiter and I will be working to upgrade the discussion board software this Saturday. We're a few version behind and need to upgrade to patch up some security issues. We'll likely begin work at 11 a.m. EST. It could take up to six hours for us to do everything that we have planned, although we're hopeful of being done sooner.
Morningstar's Portfolio Manager Price Updating Concern ... I thought I'd make this my final post unless something might arise that would warrant it to be re-opened.
In comparing Yahoo's Portfolio to Morningstar's Portfolio Manager ... Yahoo was the first to completely update this evening at around 6:30 PM EST while Morningstar was around 15 minuets later at about 6:45 PM EST. And, importantly the portfolio value of both matched. Overall, I still favor M*'s portfolio manager over Yahoo's as it has sone neat features that are not to be found in Yahoo's.
In addition, I'd like to thank all that made post on the thread as it took the actions of many to get the movement going. Seems others have previously tried but to no avail.
As Charles said ... "Perhaps discussion boards can offer more than noise after all."
Let's keep it going.

Gabelli abc fund--GABCX--is listed as Mid Cap Growth ?? FWIW, I kinda like the fund. It is pretty unique. But the returns are pretty paltry. It holds up better in down markets (-6.5 max draw down) and is tame (ulcer index of 1.1), but the returns just aren't high enough to have me interested (annualized over the past 3 years, 3.5%). There's a place for this type of fund in some people's portfolio.
