My hussy was the only green today, HSGFX +0.23% , PMEFX down -0.34%, FPACX down -0.66%, newer holding BIVIX, FEVAX, went the wrong way both down over 100 bps...my HD stock, ouch mommy....hopefully tomorrow is a better day
Actually, Hussman’s flagship gained a bit more than reported above by @Baseball_Fan
HSGFX +.29% yesterday.
As @Derf reported, PRPFX (which I also own) was up slightly. A miracle considering several of its components were soft on the day: equities, real estate, precious metals, treasury bonds. I was expecting much worse.
Cuggino‘s got the bond duration all the way down to 2.3 years. Helps explain why it held up better. Often mentioned as a “static allocation” fund, they do play around a bit - particularly with the bond component.
Yup. MGGIX, VIRT, BFARF, BIP, IP, & some option spreads were nicely up today for me. Mostly red otherwise.
I looked at Morgan Stanley Inst Global Opp I (MGGIX) and can't figure out why it was up yesterday when most everything else was down. I noticed the same thing with Morgan Stanley Inst Advantage A (MAPPX) which was up 1.31% yesterday.
PFE VUSB RPIEX up. RYMSX only down 1 cent, but I can't recommend this fund, as the fund's strategy remains opaque. Finally, newcomer PHDG up 1.16%, while JEPI down 1.48%-looks like JEPI is getting kicked off the island tomorrow.
Financial markets are reacting to the surprise 4.2% increase in April's CPI. All my holdings are in the red today except for VUSFX which is unchanged. I use VUSFX as an alternative to cash.
@Mona - I own MGGPX and I was not expecting it to be up yesterday but it was. Some of the ARK funds as well. I looked at MGGPX and noted it's foreign holdings at roughly 34% of the portfolio. Maybe that helped. Nowhere to run to today however as it joined the retreat to the rear approach of nearly everything else.

Just another day at the ol’ ball park.

Some understanding would be appreciated.
TMSRX, HRSAX and some s/t bond funds are flat.

WORST = PRDSX.
Glad the WORST is my smallest holding.
