Reply to @hank: Thanks Hank, the day started ugly and only got worse by the close. The latest "wall of worry" is Syria. This to shall pass ! My two bond funds PONCX & PBDCX were up, my equity funds were down Regards, Ted
Reply to @Ted: Thanks for the courteous reply. It wasn't very kind of me to ask. Yes - other than a couple bond funds and a little up-side on PRPFX - pretty much all red. Take care.
Yes, ditto here. Only "up" fund today was DLFNX. Just a penny, though. Bloodbath, otherwise. And maybe it will get worse before it gets better. But it will get better.
"now, come on, wall street, don't be slow---why man this is war a-go-go; there's plenty good money to be made, supplyin' the army with the tools of the trade; just hope and pray that when they drop the bomb, they drop it on the Vietcong." (-Country Joe & The Fish: "Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag.")
Reply to @MaxBialystock: Wow Max. That Country Joe song brings back heartfelt memories. Some great songs came out of Woodstock. The lyrics that I remember most:
"...Come on mothers through out the land. Pack your boys off to Vietnam... be the firsts ones on your block to have your boy come home in a box".
I thank God the draft was winding down when I became eligible in '72.
"What are we fighting for, don't ask me I don't give a damn. The next stop is Vietnam..." I'll be humming that song all day now.

Glad to hear we're on the same wavelength. And thanks for posting those additional lyrics.
