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.
Frankly participants from both (all) parties seem totally bewildered when they discover common ground. They are so used to defining each other's opinions or positions as wacko, radical or extremist they are lost without it. It's almost as though the…
@Observant1 - my pleasure
I think this is the fund David referred to, please correct me if I'm wrong.
GQG Partners US Select Quality Eq Instl GQEIX I struggle with making sense out of their Quartile Rank. I was expecting something less erratic.
I don't trade my MF's. I hold them in a Roth and have for 10+ years. One recent addition has been PRCFX,
My taxable brokerage account is primarily dividend growth stocks, and broad market ETF's. The oldest stock was obtained in 2003 and the younges…
In 2008-2009 I rode it out, in 2020 I flinched, sold and took a big loss (dumb), 2022 rode it out. Riding it out is much better in the long run and why you need assets set aside to handle/spend during drawdowns.
Correct! And having a source of inco…
Yeah, no thanks. I don't feel comfortable leaving those decisions up to any one individual with partisan interests. Especially so these days when said individual might only be in a position to make that decision based upon the amount of money raised…

There are basically two kinds of public companies in the US, which you can distinguish from each other by looking at their lists of top shareholders. Big institutional investors, and some…
@Andy J, @Crash -I too would be happy with two women. What year is this anyway. As a collective we sure haven't advanced much.
About Mr. Pritzker, haven't heard much about him but it appears as though he's accomplished quite a bit and would make fo…
Regarding that lily white business I'm just wondering, was he always orange or did he just suddenly become that?
Somebody should look into that I think. I, of course, don't give a flying eff but it is weird.

Do those betting markets have a line on potential VP picks for Harris? I think highly of Mr. Pete Buttigieg - sharp, smart, articulate, classy - way over the top of anything the GOP has anywhere for anything. However there is a deep pool of potentia…
So the same as JEPI and JEPQ only different. It will be interesting to see what amount of income it actually generates especially with the equal weight mandate. I haven't been able to dig up a whole lot of info on the fund to date, even from the fun…
Yeah he's a gem alright. Makes me think of being back in 3rd grade with these two name-calling geniuses. I thought Yale had higher graduating standards.
@Graust - if we could for a moment let's discuss the border thing for a minute. It's been contentious for a long time and after much give and take the two parties settled on a compromise of sorts to move forward. STOP. Trump stepped in and said no w…
Nope. Kamala is a good choice. She's sharp as a tack, tough when she needs to be, carries strong positions and has bigger boils then her opposition.
The proposition that she just inherited the mantle of being the Democratic front-runner is without …
You're right, you are not the only one. I was thinking 3-mo max but I'll take just about anything drastically shorter than it is now. And get rid of Pac's, super pac's and Citizens United like yesterday.

@Shostakovich - I just plucked these two items quickly off a google search. However I am of the opinion that former CEO Eddie Lampert basically drove it into the ground. I never did understand why Berkowitz was so enamored with him other than he saw…
