FYI: Most investors are paying way too much for actively managed mutual funds.

@Anna, d'oh and +1. Where did that come from, how long has it been there, and is this not what we tech writers call user error. I don't know that I would've posted my original complaint had I known about this magicality.
Let us publicize it, or make it the default after n days, or dupe it in Categories; or maybe it's just me who has been in the dark here.
Thanks.

Thank you, Ted. This information is greatly appreciated and always useful. Happy 2015.

Fortunately, on Wall Street, being optimistic means you will be right most of the time.
Hope your forecast will be correct! To a positive 2015.

Optimism is my middle name, I never went into a business or purchased an Investment that I DIDN'T think I was going to make Money........Dido for 2015, thank you
Ps. See my post on Oil and forget about its CURRENT pricing, enjoy the gas prices......
it gives financial reporting something to talk about

For the third time in 15 years, Eric Cinnamond is stuck on the sidelines watching many of his fund manager peers profit from a late-stage bull market.

How does the author know it is late-stage?

FYI: The United States economy is accelerating, unemployment is falling and wages are even beginning to creep higher.
Yet a huge bond market with a strong track record for predicting economic problems is flashing a warning sign right now.

Beats cash...

Looks like this opened a month ago and already has over $1 billion AUM. Global Long Short Fundamental.

FYI:Portfolio manager Thomas Atteberry hates losing money.
“I lost $50,000 on the first house I ever owned,” he laments. That was in Dallas in the 1980s, when oil dropped to $10 a barrel from $32 and the housing market crashed. The wound left a permanent scar on Atteberry, 61, and is surely one of the driving forces behind his “never lose money” mantra as manager of the $5.9 billion FPA New Income fund. The bond fund makes a habit of underperforming Barclays Aggregate bond index, but importantly, it has never lost money in any year since 1984.

13 months is a long time in prison, its seconds for stock market holdings, take a few drinks,chill and call me in Nov.

Ha! That too.
So, if I remember, January sucked in 2014 too.
Old_Skeet or someone even predicated a tough year based on first few days.
In 2014, the dips just turned out to be head fakes...for the market overall.
If only we could know in advance =).

Interesting comparison of two active threads at this moment. This thread has 271 views and 174 comments. A lot of people are reading and commenting.
The thread, "Oil Breaking Below $50/Gundlach on Oil" which is the hot topic of the day/week/month so far has 247 views but only 31 comments. I would have expected far more comments on the Gundlach oil thread. Far less participation for a topic that is headline news.
