Congress will get paid
That's part of the Constitution: Article I, Section 6, Clause 1.
https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S6-C1-1/ALDE_00001044/
for no work
There's the problem. The Constitution doesn't require them to actually get anything done. It's aspirational.

Ideally, one would just copy the HTML table (<Table>) from the original page to here and be done, but MFO supports only limited HTML. That doesn't include tables.
However, MFO does support preformatting (<Pre>), so one can copy the whole table as text (including tabs) into a preformatted display, and then fix up a few tabs.
Simple text, no HTML coding (aside from the preformatting tag), no uploading of image to a third party site. That seems simpler to me, but then again, I'm not one to shy away from patching binary code.
Here are the "before" and "cleaned up" versions. All I did was add a newline and a few tabs to space things out evenly.

+1 Thanks @FD1000 :)

From Twitter, there was a volume spike in SPX options, but rollover passed OK.

"I have to figure out how to post charts here."
Note that the examples posted above are not for the "chart" in D_co's article, but rather one of the graphs, which do in fact have a "built-in" link.
The "chart" has no such link, and because of that it is necessary to utilize the procedure I noted above, using ImgBB, to reproduce it here:

3 points:
1. I thought that @JD_co meant table that doesn't have its own image link.
2. If charts/graphs were meant, BOTH have their own image links that can be just pasted into the MFO Image tool (3rd from right in the above menu). See below.
3. @Sven, you are using "Viewer Link" at imgBB (I like that name! ibb too!!). USE "Direct Link" with .png ending to paste into MFO Image tool, and then it will work.

After all, JHEQX has quarterly index-option rolls (options are NOT on individual stock holdings).

Good question, yogi.
Quickly checking out a few well established moderate allocation (60/40) funds like VWELX, JABAX and FBALX, for example, shows that JHEQX has a better risk/reward profile.
JHEQX has not only a better performance record over the past 1, 3 and 5 years than VWELX and JABAX, but also a significantly lower standard deviation, 8.7 vs. 12.3, respectively.
While FBALX has a slightly better performance, its standard deviation is significantly higher at 13.8.
As a retired investor, I prefer to invest in funds with lower standard deviations if the total returns of similar funds are more or less the same, never mind if they are less.
Good luck,
Fred

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Here's the bar chart of the predecessor (privately offered) fund's performance. I don't care what this fund is investing in, I'll pass.

After all, JHEQX has quarterly index-option rolls (options are NOT on individual stock holdings). Fund is huge at $16+ billion (AUM peak was in 2021; M* shows outflows in much of 2022 but some inflows in 2023). The current quarterly index option roll is indeed THIS week. So, expect these articles to be recycled with updated info. See this brochure for explanation of index-options overlay to achieve 60-40 effect from all stock portfolio. IMO, why not just go for a real/genuine 60-40 fund?

+1 Yogi / I guess I’m even more confused than @Old_Joe claims to be. I saw it first in Bloomberg. Appears the same story makes the circuit every few years. I’d swear I’ve seen a Reuters piece dated 2023 - but can’t find it this morning.

Bloomberg article in the OP (9/27/23) is now available at Yahoo Finance,

“It was written on Thur 10-27-2022.”
Not bad. You’re only off here by 11 months. Yes - a genius you are. I’m in awe.

It's a known fact for years that the high tech leads the market and why QQQ made so much more than SPY. See the last 13 years.

The above stocks are all high tech, except BRK.B but this one has so much of Apple anyway.

Here is a StockChart of AAII Bull Bear Spread along with SP500 since 01/2022. One can see 10/2022, 03/2023 & other dips.
Link https://i.ibb.co/PYgJNJg/Screenshot-2023-09-28-17-27-57.png

Those months had quite negative Bull Bear Spreads.
March 2023 range was -27.9% to -16.9%
October 2022 range was -35.6% to -19.1%

Fund Allocations (Cumulative), 8/31/23
There were noticeable shifts away from stocks into m-mkt funds. The changes for OEFs + ETFs were based on a total AUM of about $32.35 trillion in the previous month, so +/- 1% change was about +/- $323.5 billion. Also note that these changes were from both fund inflows/outflows & price changes. #Funds #OEFs #ETFs #ICI
OEFs & ETFs: Stocks 58.67%, Hybrids 4.87%, Bonds 18.89%, M-Mkt 17.57%
