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.
Well, track its performance the last year vs DoubleLine Core or Flexible and it has outperformed (somewhat) until 3w ago, has tracked (slight outperform) PONDX till then too, but was itself majorly outperformed by FSICX, which the last month decline…
@Ted,
SV TDVFX looks like a midpack winner (to coin a phrase) with its percentile 'winningness' resulting from its performance since April and especially the last three weeks, as noted above, wow. Lots of vol too; 3* M* and 5-3-1 Lipper.
Widely studied, if you would only read up about what you so like to pontificate on. Costco employees are not and do not need to be assisted by us taxpayers (Snap and the like).
>> that's the real business world.
See, that's the thing. Date…
>> more like a higher average.
Surely you have read even a little bit about the fate of average wages the last decades, also about the Costco model vs the Walmart model. Or maybe a shrug is all you got for policy thought.
Where do you get your quaint notions? Significantly raising the minimum wage, for starters, certainly would help "the worker," whoever that is. See

So discouraging to read the quotes from some of these people:

@DH
>> Addressing the cause of that will improve the lifespan and health of the US better than anything you can do with health insurance.
Surely you know that some health insurance (Medicare e.g.) seriously addresses causes, or attempts to …

I thought Ahlsten was responsible for Dodson's latterday success, but am out of that family.
Yeah
How much any of this matters is moot now (dictionary def of moot = 'only arguable') since ACA is in for major wrenchings, it seems. I like this sort of mooting better than reading articles about the details of the alternatives. Klein's Vox sure…
But also auto insurance is mandatory because its absence so directly affects others in a way health insurance does not, right?
Clearly I did not see the points you did in that screed.

I actually laughed out loud, as the abbreviation goes, at this:

Speaking of value: Next year I have to take SS (may start before April 70th birthday) and after I crunch the cashflow numbers for a while I may look to the side at how PONDX has done in the last tough months and then put even more into DSEEX. Meanin…

urrgh :( HHS Carson, Interior Palin, DoJ Giuliani, EPA or DoT Christie, State Gingrich, oh, there are going to be lots of opps for suicide.
I misspoke in using the word 'star'; Lipper does a 1-5 rating, no star graphic. If you go to www.lipperleaders.com now, you indeed find results for the two DoubleLine Cape Enhanced, so their ranking start point must be 3y, same as M*. Don't know why…
To review the knot, simply:

This Ptak site is something to read; what a find. Check out also (e.g.) 'When Winners Fail'.
Maybe the swamp of lies that makes up so much of the Web will be successfully drained, for keeps, by the savviest analytical math work of the savviest.
