As much as I delight in old historical information, [Anyone want a copy of the 1979 S&P Stock Market Encyclopedia ? (Yes, '79, not '97)] for Mutual Fund performance anything older than 5 or 6 years is obsolete. Unless of course you are looking for something other than performance, e.g. holdings, management, auditors, transfer agents, repositories, etc...
Good Luck on your quests.

Kind of sudden, but guess it's a good thing I liquidated most of my Osterweis (ZEOIX) holdings earlier...

For the most part, this looks even worse than described. The S (retail) shares will have management fees of 1.25% plus shareholder servicing fees of 0.85% plus implicit borrowing fees. The expense table suggests this adds another 6.08% to the annual cost, based on a borrowing rate of 6.08% and an amount borrowed equal to the amount invested.
But there is good news, pidgeons investors. One does not need to be an accredited investor. The fund has set initial suitability guidelines at a mere $70K gross annual income and $70K net worth, or $250K net worth (excluding home and car).
So step right up and place your bets. Keep in mind:
You should purchase these securities only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment.
And if you're a resident of one of a select 19 states or Puerto Rico, your state government expects more of you before investing. For example, North Dakota residents may not invest more than 10% of their net worth. Some other states limit investors to 10% of their liquid net worth. Nebraska has its own 10% limit but waives it for actual accredited investors.

Whee!

It is a nontraded BDC/CEF for accredited investors. 3 classes will be available - retail (min $2,500), advisor/wrap plans (min $2,500), institutions (min $1 million). Portfolio managers are Alan Schrager and Eric Muller.

Another type of IRA “conversion”:
If money is tight and you are over 59 1/2, one might consider an IRA withdrawal that funds your HSA. This could be done each year until age 65. Taxes due on the IRA withdrawal (in the amount equal to the tax deductible HSA contribution) cancel each other out.
IRA “withdrawal” to HSA “contribution” Strategy:

If money is tight and you’re 59½ or older, you could take a regular withdrawal from your IRA and use it to contribute to your HSA. The tax bite from the traditional IRA withdrawal and the tax deduction from the HSA contribution should nearly cancel each other out. And most importantly, you can do this more than once—in fact, every year if you want.

Long Jap. equity, short yen has been a good combo for a while. DXJ is a simple way to play it, but how much more juice does that trade have? YTD: EWJ = +11.5%, DXJ = +39.9%.

Barron's LINK1 has an interesting take on Japanese stocks.
INTERNATIONAL. JAPAN (EWJ +22% over 12 months) is an exporter and is not in a rush to raise rates even with current inflation at +3%. Companies have become more shareholder-friendly; the TSE has implemented sanctions on companies whose market-caps are below book value. Japanese stocks may be fine so long as the US economy hold up.
BTW, much of Asia is quiet today - China and HK are closed for the Golder WEEK, and India was closed TODAY for Gandhi's birthday.

Not the time to buy Japanese stocks? Or, just the opposite?

Nontraded REITs are just that - you cannot trade them on exchanges. There may be periodic redemption windows with long queues, so partial redemptions may be possible. Off-market, one may find a buyer at large haircut. Highlands REIT has 888 MILLION (!) shares outstanding and market-cap $15 million only, so its NAV is also TINY. Don't know beyond its quote.

I am not aware that any remain since BX gobbled up ACC in 2022.

The CR is only 71 pages long, double spaced (25 lines per page). Throwing out the first couple of pages (essentially title pages), and recognizing that it is in three sections each ending with partial pages, there are approximately 68 x 25 = 1700 lines of text.
Not too hard to read through in an hour or so. Especially for legislators who need focus on only sections related to their particular areas of expertise. I, OTOH, have better things to do with my hours.

So, we stay in a holding pattern for 45 days and it starts all over. The only unknown is who will be leading the House. Game playing without end.

The Washington Post is reporting that-
Today the House of Representatives passed short-term spending bill with bipartisan support after Republicans change course in chaotic morning. In a 335-209 vote, the House passed a continuing resolution that would fund the government for 45 days.
Just hours before a potential government shutdown, Republicans and Democrats reached a deal in the House that includes a 45-day continuing resolution with disaster relief funds, an extension of a federal flood insurance program and FAA reauthorization — but no Ukraine aid.
It was not immediately clear where things stood in the Senate, where a procedural vote on the chamber’s stopgap measure had yet to be called. The government will shut down at 12:01 a.m. Sunday if a deal is not reached.

I am not aware that any remain since BX gobbled up ACC in 2022.

Other than Utilities, Real Estate equities are the only other down sector in the 1 year. Medical devices sector (IHI, FSMEX) is near 52-week low.

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.
