frozen markets, range-bound Range-bound. That's where my portfolio is. 54 stocks, 37 bonds 7 cash.
Just thought I'd mention it. Getting impatient. Tonight, I'm sitting just off my OLD high-point, at the start of '22, before the interest rate hikes. Financials, Energy, Tech and Healthcare are where I'm most concentrated. In that order. Bonds have come up, yes. But not "so'z you'd notice."
I really don't want to pile into a horrifically crowded tech-trade right now. Arm, A.I., Facebook, Google, Amazon. And some of my stuff is holding WFC as a top holding. Makes me want to gag. Criminal suck-bag banksters. All of the huge banks are that way.
Interest rate cuts will help. Earnings have pretty much been coming in hot for 4Q '23. Still not much of a difference in MY portfolio. Stinky poopy. Meanwhile, tempus fugit.

Buy Sell Why: ad infinitum. @Derf - Thanks for your question. My wife and I are invested in a similar ratio as you; much larger allocation to VWIAX than this new, very modest investment in PRCFX (just a toe hold). VWIAX holds a 3
5% position in an IRA requiring RMDs, and now that the market has recovered somewhat, I thought it was time to begin diversifying beyond the value stocks and intermed-term bonds.
Buy Sell Why: ad infinitum. @Level5 : Any reason why you're making the move at this time ? Thanks for posting as I'll begin to keep an eye on both for a comparison. I hold a small piece of PRCFX & about 7 times that amount in VWIAX.
Americans expected to bet $23.1B on Super Bowl 2024 (This dude won’t be one of them.)
ESPNThe total is staggering. Hopefully they’re not gambling with their 401Ks or IRAs the way they are on sports.
For comparison, mid-cap companies are defined as having a market capitalization between
$2 and $10 billion.
Large cap stocks in that range -
LISTWBD / $23.9 Bil
RJF / $23.
5 Bil
STT / $23.3 Bil
EBAY / $21.8 Bil
According to one commentator, there will be more than 10,000 different things folks will be able to bet on during the game. One supposes issues like what color Taylor Swift will be wearing, wind speed at kickoff and whether any rain falls are among them.

Bill Ackman is starting a fund for regular investors @rforno, that would be an
interval-fund, a special type of
CEF.
OEFs can only suspend redemption temporarily, but may impose redemption fees (like class B loads that have almost gone away now due to paperwork problems).
Nontraded/non-listed funds can do that too. We see that for once popular nontraded REITs such as Blackstone BReit and Starwood SReit - these have been under max redemption (2% per month or
5% per quarter) for over a year now.
