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.
BSV, so simple yet so good. Also like in the "near cash" space VNLA, GILPX,, THIIX, SNGVX, BBBMX (misstep in Q1 this year, but basically first one in last 20 years, not a single down year).
Numbers as of 9/30/2020.
Observations for one month as of 9/30/2020:
Multi- Flat for the month but securitized shined with 1-2.9%/
HY Munis – Flat for the month but Nuveen (NHMAX,NVHAX) did better.
Inter term – (-0.1%) for the month. TGLMX (mo…
If I were making such an investment today I would choose MSFBX.
Too rich for Mrs. Ruffles’s blood - suffered a 40% drawdown in 2008-09
Not according to Yahoo, MSFBX has been steady from the data I have seen.

@FD1000; I'm guessing you bought in around 3/25/20 ?
Derf
Nope, I sold over 90% at the end of 02/2020 and the rest days later.
Made several good trades with QQQ+PCI in 03/2020.

I like MaxFunds, and it's one of my go to resources. The problem here is that AKREX is being compared to funds that are riding 80% plus gains ytd on the backs of shopify, zoom and the like. That usually ends very badly. I'll take my "average" of …
Hi @wxman123,
AKREX, very concerned about valuation, price to sales of top holdings such as V and MA. While the fund obviously has done great, I'm not convinced that it will remain so when the Fed Reserve take the foot of the gas

IQDAX, Infinity Q, 5%
FPFIX, FPA Flexible Income Fund, 2%

If Trump really refuses to concede or if the Democrats win everything things will really tank.
This is not meant to spark a political discussion (please, folks - let's keep being good this week!) but my sense is that if Biden wins decisively, e…
Maybe there just isn't that much to say about mutual funds on a daily basis.
I don't think there's that much to say about politics on a daily basis. I read all these political threads. I seldom see anything new in them. Liberals are communists and …
But since I use MERFX as a cash substitute, 2%-3% per year is fine with me<
The problem is for me a cash substitute fund cannot have sustained a loss greater than 2% in a year, and preferably no loss ever. Why take the risk with such meager re…
It's fine to disagree without being disagreeable. Regrettably some have not learned that skill. I may have fallen shy of the mark a time or two, but at least I try.

@davidrmoran what you and other dems don't get is that there are plenty of good people who aren't racists, who don't believe America is a racist country and who are not looking for the change that the dems and Joe Biden are promising. It's as simpl…

.......Still no response from Trumpers here as to the existence of a soul, a conscience, within the Orange Shell. And still no response re: why it makes sense to vote for anyone who has so demonstrably shown that he possesses no conscience and is in…
Not really, every state has to be ready for a crisis, especially NY. Both the Mayor and Gov were not ready at all. They spent their budgets on something else.
The Gov set guidelines, each state has to follow it unless you are Lib who thinks the Go…
zoom. No, too much like work. ... "And, I do think he has slipped cognitively from what I can see..." Trump Kool-Aid nonsense. "The best argument against democracy is a 5-minute conversation with the average voter." Sounds to me very often that Joe'…
A few quick thoughts. Once again, Trump gave the dems and haters fodder for nothing. What in the hell was he thinking giving that interview in the first place? Typical Trump. Now, that out of the way. Trump took action consistent with the threat…

You have black friends who support and are going to vote for Trump? and think he is doing a 'good job overall'?
A major pity you say you could vote for a solid Dem but are not going to do so ... because ... policies?
Absolutely. I kn…
Mr. Waxman, you took the wrong side. Overwhelmingly, American Jews do not support Trump. Do you want some proof that he is a legitimate anti-Semite?
Let's start with a bit of his slobber to the Republican Jewish Coalition in December 2015.
"Stupi…
Having Jewish relations / relationships / relatives / friends has about zilch to do w being antisemitic, or not. Trump is a known and acknowledged bigot on any number of fronts.
I'll take the other side of this one. l would think it unusual to hav…

While many have suspected and if the people (Barbara Res, Mary Trump, Michael Cohen, et al.) who spent years around Trump are to be believed, and I see no reason why they shouldn't be, Trump, at a minimum, is a racist and anti-Semitic.
OK, Barbara …

Howdy folks,
I stated my opinion that Trump is one of the most incompetent leaders of a major power of all time. A friendly amendment was offered up to say at least since the monarchies. Works for me.

If you want mid-cap value look at DON. I like the wisdom tree methodology, and it's been beaten down good this year (still down 19%). So, you get mean reversion too.
