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.
Mid-40s here, and even though I had a mild (suspected) case back in early April, I'm still only going out for groceries, walks/runs, doctors, and the occasional home improvement supply trip. :/
On a side note, another Covid Risk chart, to give you…
While I don't use indicators THAT often in my investing/trading, those I do check now and then are just crossing into fairly high extremes that would *suggest* a pullback of some sort is imminent. But as with all indicators, taken with a grain of…
Fine - send the data to HHS but also copy it to the usual researchers and centers as well. If HHS is the only place it goes, the data is ripe for tampering and/or politicalization by this regime, and cannot be trusted.
Well, as good a place as any…
As an American who HAS often been around the world over the years, is globally astute, and yes, actually has a passport and *could* easily leave the country if he wanted to[1], this sign is both hilarious and depressing, for it shows how far our on…
I found it years ago via a M* forum mention or ten. I became a regular poster here 2 years ago when M* forums went to hell with the software update and (at the time, what seemed to be) heavy-handed moderation. I'd *heard* about it for years but …
Swamp monsters looking out for each other, just as grifters gotta grift.
Cyrus, it's up to you -- and please don't allow yourself to get bribed again to drop the case at the 11th hour like you did when (IIRC) Jared was under indictment some years …
Dear Tweety Amin:
You aren't a business person and have no clue about anything. Stay the f out of my investments and stop trying to mess up people's investment options to save certain industry sectors or special interest buddies.
Btw, how is your …
Yes. To live or die. ;(((((( Sorry, cynical me couldn't resist that one.
2020 has provided a trading market, that's for sure. I've done well in the areas I've actively traded in/out/around various positions ... while letting my long-term stuf…
I obviously wasn't clear. I did write: "on the category of your choice". No rotating categories (though you can change it yourself). It appears that John is using "gas" as his chosen category (that's the default). I use online purchases. …
The whole rotating-discount/cash-back thing is a turnoff to me. Every quarter or month you need to remember which card to use to maximize which benefits ... too much work! I stick w/my Amex Plat and Amazon Prime Visa and keep things simple so I c…
I can't speak to their brokerage/advisory services but I think their funds are well-managed with solid allocations and diversity. Are there some that overlap needlessly? Sure. But on the whole, for an active-management shop, TRP's funds are at the…
"They can't get me if I'm locked in my bunker...so there! [tweettweettweet]"
Maybe he thinks that if he loses the election he can just declare bankruptcy again, and then keep going as president. He probably didn't bother to read the briefing paper …
Not much, Mark. I never really looked too closely into D's NG aspirations with the pipeline.
I hold a *very* large slug of EPD as well and don't really need more pipelines. Frankly I think that's the sort of company Warren would buy given its ra…
EDIT: Much to my surprise, my order to buy back the short puts for a small credit fired just after the open. Now I can reassess things and plan a potential re-entry if I want later on.
I dumped my D shares in the pre-market to lock in my major LT…
I dumped my D shares in the pre-market to lock in my major LTCGs.
I have 5 short put options strike 80 that I'll see what happens when the market opens.
I'm down in my long-long term account but that's fine since I ain't tapping it for another 30 years. The market tanked literally the day after that account rang the bell for a 'major round number' ... I'm glad I caught that print. :)

They have enough subadvisors for most of these funds to keep things interesting, but at least the fees seem acceptable.
Interesting to note that their Multisector Bond Fund includes Hassenstab and Fuss as subadvisors.
M* and 'dying' has been synonymous with me for several years now ... which is why I am no longer a member of the premium site, a newsletter subscriber, and left their forum last year.
American 'exceptionalism' apparently means snapping up the next 3 months' global supply of remedesvir .... which can only be read as a gigantic f-you by the rest of the world.
No idea.
But the US just outbid many other countries to buy up the next 3 months' global supply of remdesvir, so that right there means gabillions of bucks wasted in paying-up for it.
BCE, BIP/BIPC, BTI, EPD, D, SO are a few paying 'safe' 4%+. I have some, like CSCO and SYY that pay 3%-ish as well. Also owned big T/VZ positions for decades ... though with T I am cognizant of its humongous debt load and while I like the busines…
Thx Skeet.
As for me, I'm still deploying cash opportunitstically for the long haul across my accounts to buy stuff I want on 'sale' ... in terms of investment holdings, I'm still >90% in equities, most of which are quality dividend payers set …
... and yet the GOP/Tweety has to offer their own "beautiful" replacement for the ACA. Funny how the Mango Mussinini's base seems to forget that.
I still think the ACA would be totally safe if it was not widely known as 'Obamacare'.
Sadly, many politicans consider "taking the oath" just a formality, and don't consider it a binding contract even though they pinky-swear to some dude from literature up in the sky.
The louder the WH denials, the more truthy the underlying narrative/story is.
Relatedly, these guys' video spots are effing timely and always brilliant. They're a fantastic rapid-response comms team. This one is particularly brutal....
I take this article as a contrarian sign -- during the GFC I also saw articles posting how wine/whiskey were great investments. They probably are, but IMO too much of a bother last time I looked.
Now, my own collection? I'll savor it as a tasty i…
Tweety Amin, AKA Donald JOHN Trump, AKA General Dotard von Bonespurs, AKA Boss Tweety, AKA the Orange S---tgibbon, will win in November and claim 170% (at least!) of the Electoral College with 215% of Republican voters supporting him! There will b…
Old Skeet hit the nail on the head. The Left will do anything to try to defeat Trump including promoting the radical Left agenda. While Trump may not have polish and goes through a lot of executive staff, his ideas speak the truth. By the way, wh…
Simple. There are large swaths of this country where people don't care about anyone but themselves. Those flaunting rules and not wearing masks while at the same time saying they are 'free' do do that because there's no law prohibiting it are par…
Somebody sure took a walk of shame last night.....and he looks like utter crap, too. Like he knows he's gonna lose.
