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.
I wonder how long before we see active ETFs holding positions in newly-created OEFs that can serve as a 'black box' to get around some of the reporting and investing restrictions ETFs face if they try to hold those underlying assets (foreign/bonds) …

My 403b is entirely in RWMGX (AF WashMu R-6, related to WSHFX) and I've been quite pleased with its performance this year. Kudos to Capital for a job well-done thus far.
I hold a large slug of PRBLX/PRILX in my taxable accounr. My 403(b) is 100% in American Funds Washington Mutual R-6 and is one of the funds on the page YBB cited. Can't see the M* 'rating' but it's been a solid performer for me over the past dec…
I don't see retail-grade Seeking Alpha folks being a huge factor in stock moves. A little, sure.
Short and distort probably happens more effectively on social media and other finpr0n platforms that are trolled by hedgies, institutional speculator…
@rforno, I did the same back in January as I believed that the fund had lost it's way. Too bad because it was a decent fund.
I was thinking about it back then, too. But oh, well -- that's what TLH is for. :/
Sold out of MGGIX the other day as part of early tax loss harvesting for 2022. It was acting too much like a concentrated tech fund and that's not what I wanted when I bought into it.
Their 2021 Annual Report came today. Call me spoiled or misgui…
Clarification: You can buy oil futures (or any commodity, as I have done in the past), just be sure to close your position as appropriate so you don't accept delivery! Not sure about anyone else, but I don't have the parking available for a bunch o…
Many of these semi-transparent ETFs from TRP or Capital are based broadly on and/or will try replicating the models/holdings of their 'equivalent' mutual funds but won't necessarily contain the same holdings, too.
(For example TRP's Growth ETF mig…
It may be hard to beat American Funds with 19 or more classes. http://financials.morningstar.com/fund/purchase-info.html?t=BALFX®ion=usa&culture=en-US
Agreed. I like (and hold several) AFs but having 19 share classes is beyond insane.
He's offered some decent prognostication commentaries regarding markets and investing over the years but I would bever trade or make specific investment decisions from his show, which he even admits is entertainment first.
Yes but think of how much they've gone UP over the past many years.....
But sadly mass-market psychology (and/or lack of experience) doesn't always understand that context.
Mr. Giroux’s 2nd largest holding, Amazon (AMZN), is down 7% today. (Maybe in sympathy with Facebook?) Lipper lists AMZN as 5.5% of his portfolio.
“Too smart by half” is an old saying that might apply. :)
AMZN is up 15% in the aftermarket following…
I have to admit I'm slightly envious of long-term PRWCX investors.
If anyone is disappointed with the fund's recent performance and is interested in liquidating their position, perhaps we can strike a deal? ;-)
Hahahaha! Love this! Please add…
It’s Nuts. The short sellers have been blasting it for months. As I think I mentioned recently “a little bit of this one goes a long way.” (And “ouch” on the down days. :))
ARKK only up 3-4% today.
At the risk of going too far off-topic, speaking …
DKNG (which I bought a week ago) +17% this morning. Who said stocks are volatile?
Will probably close down by end of day.
The only financial advice you can bank on 100% of the time to be totally accurate is: "markets will fluctuate, sometimes wild…
Futures GREEN. 7:00 AM CST A step in the right direction
The former trader in me sees big green before the open and thinks "dead cat" and "sell anything you wanted to yesterday while you can" ... old habits die hard. :)
I would wager: market over-valued; political & geopolitical concerns; lingering supply chain woes w/ Omnicron, rotation out of growth, Bitcoin nervousness. Quant trading alogorithms.
Maybe, just maybe, folks are also worried about having CO…
We are inundated here in SE MI by TV ads for several online sports books. All of them appear to offer “risk free” wagers to the newcomer. The fine print at the end of the ad gives a phone number for those who have a problem with gambling.

Cathie Wood believes that if a market bubble is growing, it is being created within value stocks and not growth names.

I feel the same about MGGIX, which is taking a bath these days. While I didn't think of it at the time when I bought into it, it definitely acts and is built more like a global tech fund than a general global 'stock' fund ... which seeing its recent…
Question - Who currently owns ARKK and how are you managing your position in the near-term? Buying on dips, sold all shares? Is Cathie strictly a momentum player? There is much written about the analyst/research team and their lack of experience...

MGGPX/MGGIX will likely show a massive bloodbath today, based on the M* reporting of its holdings' prices as of 1045ET. Many large-percentage drops at the moment.
I wonder if it's too early to pre-emptively harvest some losses for my 2022 taxe…
Part of that cargo, DKNG, is currently flirting with $25, having been around $75 earlier in the year. Suspect it will close below $25. If I were Wood I’d consider tossing that one overboard.
I'm sure she will double-down and buy more, because, as…

I'm reminded of Rob Arnott's continued holding a 20%+ short S&P position in PAUIX for nearly a decade after the GFC of '08 because of his dogmatic adherence to his 'strategy'. Performance lagged .... significantly.

Thx YBB. I figured if anyone did, you'd probably have an answer ... though i was hoping for a more modern/automated way of doing that research b/c SEC/Edgar (or the fund ARs themselves) feels antequated and isn't exactly user-friendly.
Back in '08 I'd be getting excited at red markets and scrambling to hedge and/or trade it. Now, I'm like 'meh .... it's 'only' down 300 right now". ;/
I'll continue to watch things and stalk positions I want to own or increase, but otherwise am…
@JonGaltill: right, BST is a BlackRock closed end science and tech fund, but it does have a global portfolio. Of its 3 managers, 1 also serves on BME, the Health Sciences CEF that has done well previously, although it has done little to merit its M*…
To followup on my 11/10 comment, I may actually dump MGGIX and go with BST instead, to rotate into some large cap tech+income (ie, adding more 'value' and less 'growth') versus a more growth/tech-oriented 'world stock' fund as the markets continue t…
