Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: With the month of September and the third quarter now in the books, below is a look at the performance of various asset classes using key ETFs traded on US exchanges. It was a rough month for stocks, especially for smallcaps. The Russell 2,000 (IWM) finished the month down 6.19% and the quarter down 7.96%.

Again, think only way out of current malaise is 3Q earnings.
Here's look back at SPY and AGG.
SPY not as poor as Russell, still, below 10 day and headed below 50 day moving averages. But, still up more than 8% YTD.
More recently, AGG trending in right direction. But honestly neither index is offerring much comfort these days. Comfort...what's that?!
