It is concerning that the IRS chart discussing the differences between RMD for IRAs and Defined contribution plans still uses 72 as the age for RMDs ( even though it says it was updated 8/2024)
" April 1 of the year following the later of the year you turn 72 (70 ½ if you reach 70 ½ before January 1, 2020) or the year you retire (if allowed by your plan). If you are a 5% owner, you must start RMDs by April 1 of the year following the year you turn 72 (70 ½ if you reach 70 ½ before January 1, 2020)."
https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/rmd-comparison-chart-iras-vs-defined-contribution-plans
The "FAQS" page has the correct information
"(73 if you reach age 72 after Dec. 31, 2022). "

The initial investment minimum is supposed to be $5K through transfer agent. I had a problem with them when I filed an application for the Low Duration High Yield Fund. They told me I needed $50K until I told them about the SEC filing where the initial minimum was lowered to $5K..
Schwab wants $2,500 initial minimum for a Nordic account plus trade fee.

@fred495 and @MikeM,
If you are OK disclosing, what percentage of your portfolio makes up alternative funds and which one of the alternative funds do you currently own.

fyi- if you enroll with the fund's direct agent the minimum is $50k. I spoke to a rep yesterday who spoke to a manager and you cannot bypass the minimum via enrolling in the AIP (which is $100 per month). Unsure if Fidelity or Schwab have minimum purchase requirements. Side note, good to see you around still FD1000. I recall your name from the early 2000s on M* discussions. Still miss Copie. GLTA.

The Board of Trustees of Northern Lights Fund Trust (the “Board”) has determined based on the recommendation of the investment adviser of the Altegris/Crabel Multi-Strategy Fund (the “Fund”), that it is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders that the Fund cease operations. The Board has determined to close the Fund and redeem all outstanding shares on October 28, 2024.
Effective at the close of business September 27, 2024, the Fund will not accept any purchases and will no longer pursue its stated investment objectives. The Fund may begin liquidating its portfolio and may invest in cash equivalents such as money market funds until all shares have been redeemed. Any capital gains will be distributed as soon as practicable to shareholders. Shares of the Fund are otherwise not available for purchase.
Prior to October 28, 2024, you may redeem your shares, including reinvested distributions, in accordance with the “How to Redeem Shares” section in the Prospectus. Unless your investment in the Fund is through a tax-deferred retirement account, a redemption is subject to tax on any taxable gains. Please refer to the “Tax Status, Dividends and Distributions” section in the Prospectus for general information. You may wish to consult your tax advisor about your particular situation.
ANY SHAREHOLDERS WHO HAVE NOT REDEEMED THEIR SHARES OF THE FUND PRIOR TO OCTOBER 28, 2024 WILL HAVE THEIR SHARES AUTOMATICALLY REDEEMED AS OF THAT DATE, AND PROCEEDS WILL BE SENT TO THE ADDRESS OF RECORD. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR NEED ASSISTANCE, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR DIRECTLY OR THE FUND AT 1-877-772-5838.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RETIREMENT PLAN INVESTORS
If you are a retirement plan investor, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the consequences of a redemption of Fund shares. If you receive a distribution from an Individual Retirement Account or a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRA, you must roll the proceeds into another Individual Retirement Account within sixty (60) days of the date of the distribution in order to avoid having to include the distribution in your taxable income for the year. If you receive a distribution from a 403(b)(7) Custodian Account (Tax-Sheltered account) or a Keogh Account, you must roll the distribution into a similar type of retirement plan within sixty (60) days in order to avoid disqualification of your plan and the severe tax consequences that it can bring. If you are the trustee of a Qualified Retirement Plan, you may reinvest the money in any way permitted by the plan and trust agreement.
This Supplement and the existing Prospectus dated April 29, 2024, provide relevant information for all shareholders and should be retained for future reference. Both the Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information dated April 29, 2024, have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, are incorporated by reference and can be obtained without charge by calling the Fund at 1-877-772-5838.

Not sure a firm managing 25% less assets than it did 10 years ago is where I'd want to be, but to each their own.

@gman57, to quote Billy Jole:

You may be wrong but you may be right

I hope they know they came out a winner already and just play the diplomatic game. A war with Iran would be really bad for everyone, including Israel, the US and the rest of the world, both with casualties and economic hardship.

@catch22 : 90% to the IRS ? I'm more like 15% to IRS & 5% to State.

Thanks folks. If I needed a large chunk I’d pool the funds earlier in a cash equivalent as gman57 suggests. With most markets near record highs - good advice. But that’s not the case for now anyway. One reason is the “interest-free” (til 12/25) Fido Visa account I opened last summer. Recently put a big infrastructure project on it. Can pull funds gradually during ‘25 instead of all at once. (Appreciated all the earlier comments re that on a different thread.)
Also … age has pushed me towards a pretty conservative portfolio. So, big market moves don’t affect it as much today as say 5 or 10 years ago. Mainly, I just don’t want Fido to throw a “Hissy Fit” thinking I’ve forgotten.

DGRS

Wisdom Tree has some interesting stuff. I'll add DGRS to my watch list. Thanks.

Schwab will sell it to you today NAV $10.00 fe $49.95
Fido still says unavailable to trade

I pulled the trigger a couple weeks ago @fred495. I traded in my BLNDX money for QQMNX. BLNDX has been a fine fund, I think, but the ride can be as bumpy as the S&P 500 at times. I did want something less volatile to contrast the market, which QQMNX seems to be.
edit: Charles' graph is a concern, maybe. Buying the hot group-think fund isn't usually a good idea.

A few, but most will not...It all about the mode...

HOW has the stock market returned 8-10% per year? — is a whole another question.
And the mode (i.e. the most common data point), rather than the average, tells that story. And answering HOW means looking at characteristics of individual stock performance through time.
Hendrik Bessembinder did that research. He has looked at the history of about 29,000 stocks in the United States, over the 90 years worth of good data we have for empirical stock analytics. He's also looked, on a slightly shorter time horizon because of available data, at about 64,000 stocks outside the U.S.
The mode is -100%.
The most common outcome from buying a stock is that you lose all your money.
Mind blown? Great. But read on, because it has implications for portfolio design, especially if you're a long-term investor.

just 86 stocks have accounted for $16 trillion in wealth creation, half of the stock market total, over the past 90 years.

Study

For the past two months, I have been following two "Market Neutral" funds, QQMNX and VMNFX, which held up very well and provided some protection during recent market downturns. New managers have been at the helm of both funds since 2021.
As MikeM said: "I have to admit, QQMNX is a tempting alternative in this alternative field for a less bumpy ride and, so far, excellent returns."
..............QQMNX....VMNFX
YTD.........15.6%.......8.9%
3 YRS.......14.4........14.8
5 YRS.......10.3..........8.2
2022..........9.5.........13.5
Std. Dev....8.6%.......7.3%
As a retired investor who doesn't need a lot more money, preserving capital is more important to me than seeking sizeable returns on capital. While both funds have excellent risk/reward profiles, I have decided to add QQMNX to my portfolio at this time of fairly high equity valuations.

I got very lucky...just a little water in my basement and a few trees down on my winding driveway. Mine and a few others only one without a tree crashed thru or on the roof. Just south of downtown Asheville. Biltmore village maybe 15 min from house. I got a great neighbor who looks after my property. Folks couldn't get off the mountain. Roads to washed out or impassable . No water, no electric. No food. Walked down the mountain and called me when he briefly got cell reception. I don't spend a lot of time there but planned to go for leaf season in a few weeks.
Mountain folks are tough as nails and will pull thru this... everyone looking after families with kids and the elders. Told my neighbor to raid my pantry and extra water stash to distribute to the neighbors if need be as well as where my cash stash is and combo to my gun locker.
