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.
Sold VZ yesterday. I had held it for the dividend income and some CG's but lately it's behaved more like a 'meh' investment. Used the proceeds to buy QDVO which so far has been a better income source and I also added to QLENX.
Should also mention t…
"On a sideways note: I still do think that it's parents' responsibility to feed their own kids. Bring a lunch, or buy a hot lunch at school. That's the way we did it. Parents can't afford it? Why The F*** did you have a child? Maybe you ought to go …
If the intent of this meeting was to perk up or beef up the military the best thing those two could have done was to resign and then just disappear. The roar would be deafening.
"18 U.S. Code § 208" They would love to get rid of that!
18 U.S. Code § 208 prohibits government employees from participating in matters where they have a financial interest, unless they disclose and receive written ...
"And the TV outlets that refuse to carry his show will lose viewers and ad revenue."
I certainly hope so, and bigly!
FWIW, David's post was yesterdays Letters From an American by Heather Cox Richardson.
Man people beginning their investment journey feel like they are entering a cave (black hole) of quite dense smokey fog, So much advice coming from all directions and often conflicting. For them Clements was, along with others, a perfect way to get …
"why haven’t smart folks who know better stood up for the rule of law and the constitution?"
I've been asking this question from the get go. The little people have been doing their part while those with their fingers on the switches nada.
I have no vested interest here but I still wonder why mutual funds split. Does the fund company expect to increase AUM because share prices are now going to be lower thereby attracting more investors? I can see that with a single stock (equity) but …

" I believe that even this SCOTUS will not let this stand."
I believe that I'd like a dime bag of whatever it was you ingested or inhaled before coming to that conclusion. Most of the current SCOTUS has abandoned the law, precedent and the constitu…
@Derf - yes sadly it seems to matter which damage assessor you get. I personally had a similar situation with my home where neighbors all around me were getting entire roofs replaced and my guy was saying that I didn't have enough damage. A second o…
That's a new one. Is there a section or clause in the policy that relates to this and what they will cover or not cover with respect to damaged siding? I know that many insurance companies these day will not reside an entire house for 1-2 damaged si…
Vikings fan here but I have an equal interest in seeing the Niners and the Bills.
The Steelers would also fit in there, and will again, as soon as they get rid of Rodgers.
I guess someone needs to get their eyeglass prescription checked. I don't see anywhere in DrVenture's post where it talks about owning PDI from 2023 to whatever. Also preparing for rate cuts does not equate to owning the fund either.
Um, come again
"And Trump — who has repeatedly incited mob violence since his first campaign — clearly wants to use the Kirk killing as an excuse for more violence and intimidation. “We have radical left lunatics out there,” declared Trump, “and we…
@Old_Joe - gonna agree with Junkster's comments and I hope I get there as well.
You said "Many of the big questions which still bedevil us have been present since the dawn of mankind. No one has had those answers," Just as important is knowing when…
"I've read that an ETF needs to have ~$100M AUM to be economically viable for the sponsoring firm."
That's probably pocket change for those looking to fleece the retail (allegedly dumb) investors.
"Not worth getting into a political dog fight."
I agree and fwiw I don't look at or consider them at all when investing. But from the evidence it appears as though those pulling the strings do.
