I myself see a big pullback coming in the next six months but I don’t know that I have ever been correct over 45 years. I will put a lot of money in if a 10% pullback comes. I expect you r being prudent depending on how old you are. The thing is, if you’re young, you might as well stick it out and not try to time. He said.
This is like a robotape from Fox, yawn, or indeed the WSJ. Shoulda known there was nothing here that is not kneejerk and automatically reactionary.
'oppressive groupthink', lolz, it was tired when Coulter et alia first said it.

>> could it be the intolerant echo chamber of his college environs which informs his views?
It could, but it ain't.
Make a substantive argument, dude. Of some sort.
A NYPost comically blinkered screed is not gonna cut it here, and you are smart enough, it'is quite clear, not to argue large and generalize from such anyway. "Here is one reason to oppose' etc. lolz.
Anyway, some fact about this sad case:

In semiretirement I just took an intensive freelance job with a former employer. Not onsite, not 40h, good people w/ some former colleagues, pays okay. Army robot proposal. But man, do I wish I hadn't. Too much like work.
I never look at ER particularly unless egregious.
Everyone might want to look at RPV and RPG too, but I understand the MC appeal of RSP. I would take CAPE over any of them. But it offers much less MC of course.
tnx
yeah, could not find anything along the lines of what Mark seemed to be talking about.

reexpanding / reset of premium after sudden narrowing, sure.
if you look at that delta historically, though, this separation overall …
I am so confused. I thought declaration was a while ago (per their site, ex date 6/8, record date 6/12, payment Monday). Also stocks typically drop post-div (I know this is not that, but it is cef). Hmm.

@BobC,
hmm, are you saying that fund ERs rise inevitably from when they are in-house-available only? I wonder. I suppose it makes sense. I will try and track the history of D&C fund ERs from when I bought them 35y ago direct, although not sure…
That is one impressive wikip entry.
But you again need to dive deeper and farther back into actual history. Mandate, community rating, subsidy:

>> Unless TRP is willing to absorb that cost,
Is this not invariably the case? In 45y I have never seen an NTF fund on Fido (or elsewhere) whose ER was not the same as buying directly from the fund family. OAKBX (say) through Fido same cost…
How about directly below that, what do you see?
Both lines under fundname have a blue mark.
It is hierarchical, I suppose. NTF is under Fidelity control and pretty much constant.

@Maurice,
Wow. Go to Fidelity.com. You do not have to log in. Type hblax in the top search field, the only search field on the page.

The wooing of Republicans by Democrats over ACA was practically nonstop. Just for starters. No exclusion! Good grief. Talk about bizarro world.
As for the Pelosi quote, you have not been following the Trumpcare process at all, have you? Talk about …
Strategy sounds fine unless one simply wants to own that cef. Like paying a fee of some sort. Do I want to own it or not?
Not only do discounts persist unreasonably, but so do premiums, I read. Both conditions have obtained for PDI.

@expatsp
For sure I have no smart or even particularly informed thoughts. I own both. Indeed, I just sold some brokerage PONDX for cashflow, but then sold more in rollover ira in order to buy PDI and PTY. Large-ish sums, for me. All are leveraged, y…

That would be a hard decision. Heebner turned $5k of ours into $172k or so from the 1980s on, but I eventually bailed too, yes. Forget what my success was w Berkowitz, but same separation eventually.
tnx, will look into both. Not really keen on foreign investment anymore except for EM spec moneys. Sold FOSFX, causing it to rise nicely, naturellement.
Must check how MOAT compares with CAPE (also NOBL, DVY, OUSA, SCHD, etc.).
