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.
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 …
Very cool. The sail arrangement reminds me of something one of the Japanese lines did 30-40 years ago when we were mainly worried about the price of oil. I do wonder about her bridge clearance even at fifty meters.

Doesn't change the fact that the dem ticket is the most radical ever.
I've been paying attention since 1964. I hear this every election year from both sides. They're like cicadas.
I think valuations were stretched before covid. I think the level of corporate debt was stretched before covid. And we had a bubbling trade war with China, and many of our allies before covid.
Then we got worldwide covid.
Then we got vigilante an…
I imagine that bubble machine will see use in many business schools across the nation. :)

Your comment has me wondering how many people here are trading versus how many are buying some sort of fund for a longer time period.
Strange pick for the writer to call himself Jessie Livermore.
In thinking about the limits of fiscal policy, we should not be lulled into complacency by the U.S. economy's recent lack of inflation. There is a limit, a point at which fiscal expansio…

The comment "Trump is worse than Hitler" is so hyperbolic it's hard to believe people take it seriously.
That doesn't work for me. It reminds me too much of "It was a joke." or "I was only kidding." or "Where's your sense of humor?" or "You're just…
When I decided I was supposed to take all the good advice and have more bond funds, because it's ballast and all, I definitely looked for lower durations.
Your post got me looking at my bond funds today. Some of them have gotten longer, and slopped…
Check the duration on the bond sleeve and see if you feel comfortable with that going forward.
If the Fed is successful in raising the inflation rate will interest rates rise as well?
I don't plan to sell out. But I do take profits out every few y…
It should be noted that 40% of BRKB is invested in Apple while the rest is value stocks. Buffet still has lots of cash to deploy. His recent investment in Japan is refreshing.
Apple seems ripe for regulatory and trade war issues. The spat over For…
A day like today makes me wonder why buy now? Tomorrow could be better.
Hard to suggest other value funds without knowing what's available to Abe. Some 401's have a limited menu.
I look at FLPSX and wonder how it's going to perform after Tillingh…
I didn't bring up any conflict or anything about the 60s. I answered the question about why we (everyone) should be concerned about 29 idiots.
This is where I do my Emily Litella impression.
Many of them seem susceptible to slow-moving changes in the regulatory environment, trade war, and/or sudden changes in fashion.
None of them make anything that feeds me, cleans me, moves me, shelters me, or provides physical comfort.

I have a couple of thoughts:
Deflation scares them to death.
And, we're all mercantilists after China stopped exporting critical items during the early stages of the COVID crisis.
Does a Born Again Agnostic raised as a Catholic count for anything? :)
Is there any comfort in numbers? Everybody I know that went to Catholic school belongs to your church.

Black lives matter. I guess I will die without seeing this country understand. President Barack Obama gave me hope that America could change. How naïve was I?

Your wife got lucky. My coworkers traveled on United and they were not please with the full flight. Some low cost operators even reduce the number of flight so to reduce the fixed cost. We love to travel overseas but many countries do not want Am…

One of the more striking manifestations of Trump Derangement Syndrome is that people who have always been adamantly opposed to the Vietnam War and adamantly opposed to the military draft, find it easy to castigate Trump for being a "draft dodger…
Might be a good play. If you're down with robots. Their demographics were cratering last I looked. Who, or what, is buying whatever is being made in Japan?
