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.
We all knew this. Still … something to think about when your day’s return appears out of whack compared to the indexes or a stock you hold suddenly takes a dive for no apparent reason.
Maybe I oughta take comfort in those words. I am indeed able to…
Ah, OK. I think I understand: Scotus.
We will all continue to invest, yes. Insofar as the Rule of Law no longer applies to EVERYONE, it will surely make a difference, esp. with non-US money coming in. The environment is simply (and bigly!) not the …
Stacey Abrams! She was screwed out of being elected in Georgia, TWICE. Smart, articulate, more than capable. I'd love to see it.

Joe needs to retire. There, I've said it. He was already running behind the Orange Criminal. (If polls are a metric of popularity, a bit more than half of the country, along with the Trumpster, holds to no fixed ethical Principles. A most regrettabl…
"The Scotus has a shady past, some of which outright dehumanized sections of population..."
Dred Scott decision: "Justice" Roger B. Taney concluded that a black man had no rights that a white man must acknowledge.
True, your statement above.
"So…
Lots of politics. 05 July, 2024. Stephanie Flanders on recent and upcoming elections. Keir Starmer will be the only one "with a spring in his step" at upcoming Leaders' Meetings. La Pen will not get a clear majority. The Chevron SCOTUS decision. Gre…
Sorry, I'm not one who can make sense of such a chart. "Starting yields are predictive." For BONDS, not stocks. OK. Is that true in relative terms? Absolute terms? What if yields are at rock-bottom at the fund's inception?
@Crash
Hmmmm.....
FSPGX (Fido LCG index.) Even being 10% of a portfolio having some individual holdings and other stuff would definitely be worthy of a :)
M* performance
Whatever floats one's boat.
Hi, Catch!
The top holdings in the portfolio FSPG…
...Of course, a civilized society is going to need to employ a TRULY progressive tax scheme. (Though we never seem to be able to DO that.) We will never have perfection, never have total equality. And needless to say, there will always be a number o…
@sma3
Yes, I was still there, under Baker. A reasonable, intelligent man. He is no Trumpster-ite, for sure. Greed is always and forever a bad thing, even if it's perfectly legal.
From Prez to the local Neighborhood Board, gov't is virtually ALL Dem where I live. The Dems have the Electoral College locked up here. CLOSED Primaries, too. Sucks. My dissenting vote will count for as much as a fart in the wind. I agree with Lewis…
I've come across an item asserting that only Michelle Obama, among Dems, can beat the Orange Suck-hole Criminal. Harris won't get my vote. Michelle has a good shot, though. Let's just see if we do get a brokered convention. Surprise! These "events" …
"Where there is no vision, the people perish." Proverbs 29:18.
The country is rudderless, and too many seem quite agreeable to putting a grown CHILD who is an ignorant, orange, criminal douche-nozzle in the Oval Office AGAIN. Blind leading the blin…
It seems to me that the majority of people who want the job are not fit for the job in one way or the other. Perhaps the problem has become one of individual purpose. The type of people who are rising to the top, by-in-large, seem to be looking for …
Sorry, @gman57. No faith. Just none. If American voters actually cared about quality, reasonable options, our choices in the Fall would not be:
Orange Fart
Uncle Joe
Cornel West
Jill Stein.
Lots to like from where I sit in the latter two's platform…
Thanks for the read. Makes me want to continue to plow into MMF. Hardly any risk, and a lovely yield. (5%+.)
Still holding my junk.
FALN yield = 7.14% but unsure when that figure was last updated. It's been sitting there for a long time. Mornings…
I still recall, from "A Man For All Seasons:" Actor Paul Schofield was marvelous.
"...Why Richard, it profit a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world. . . but for Wales?!"
A powerful point. Richard had been made Prince of Wales. Richard…
Truly a great one, yes. Brilliant script.
Mitch the Grinch gets a helluva lotta credit for stymying the wheels of the Rule of Law. He's another who needs to go. He will not be missed from here.
I do not bet that Harris, even with Obama as Veep, could beat the Orange Criminal Scum. I just don't sense that she could win. Not enough votes. Justified or not, she appears to be aligned with The Squad and the whole "woke" thing. If that movement …
+1.
And by the way, today is Canada Day. It's not perfect up there, either, but it's nothing like the shit-show we are living through here, south of the border. I lived up there for about a year, many moons ago.
boom. just what I've been saying. In HK, it's Beijing that calls the shots. The "Leader" in HK is hand-picked by the Communist Mainland regime. Rights are curtailed or canceled. It's disgraceful. In the USA, The Trumpster is guilty as sin, and the w…
