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.
It's about going to the middle.
Lastly, the Dems should stop persecuting Trump everywhere and all the time. Enough is enough.
So let a convicted felon go unchecked. Just give him carte blanche. Let him shoot somebody on 5th avenue. "When you ar…
And 72,389,776 people… The popular vote was a landslide.
A 3% differential is usually not referred to as a landslide. But hey, whatever narrative works for you.
It will be interesting to watch how they explain away inflation which will likely rise in coming years.
Per the GOP playbook, it will always be Joe Biden's fault.
*You could also substitute Nancy Pelosi, Obama, Kamala Harris or Hunter Biden's na…

Careful what you say about mein leader's company. The leader is goot. Heil mein leader. Orange might sue you for $10B if he doesn't like your comments - just ask 60 Minutes.

Per the OP provided link - The average retirement account balance for U.S. households was $333,940 in 2022, according to the Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF). That’s a 12.9% increase from $295,740 in 2019.
Comparing RPHYX vs. CBUDX, these 2 funds have very similar returns and SD.
The Riverpark fund offers the (RPHIX) institutional class that is ideal for longer-term investors - just pony up the TF.
At 9-30-2024, Fido shows that RPHIX has a 30-day …
"As we have discussed in prior letters, valuations remain rich. High yield bonds’ yield advantage over investment grade bonds is at very low levels, reminiscent of the 2005-07 period."
Also, CB's Nordic Core value positions (30 dollar-weighted) hav…
I've learned to expand my definition of alternative funds. I look at PVCMX as an alt fund in that it uses cash for defense - in a manner quite different from most other funds (thus the ALT view).
Low SD of 5, with a 7.84% 5 yr return. It's…

Trumpsie felt comfortable today at Mcdonalds, surrounded by other small fries. wink wink
Well, If he wins, can't wait to see how these tariffs work out. Tariffs that never worked out well for us before? Somehow this time will be different, huh. …

MRFOX down today 1.41% which is unusual.
Take a peek at the top 10 holdings. ROST down -3.75%, ACGL -6.16%, DPZ -3.6%, TJX -2.23%.
MRFOX is heavy on retail - consumer cyclicals. Retail had a bad day.
According to the Q2 2024 commentary, CBLDX contained 27.3% international holdings. I am assuming that consists mainly of Nordic companies.
My question then becomes, "Does CBLDX already function as a global high income fund that incorporates the bes…
Experts are warning that a recent contract to supply Oklahoma’s Department of Education with an estimated 55,000 bibles might actually represent a breach of state law. That’s after the contract’s exacting specifications came to light—and they only r…
Since DJT has no substantial underlying value, is the daily stock price really more an indicator of his current presidential election odds?
Freaks me out when it nudges higher. If he loses next month, does DJT go to $1 by Thanksgiving (gobble go…
Was surprised to see that "49% of Nordic HY bonds feature floating rates".
Like the idea that they earn 2% - 4% more than US HY bonds on average, but with only slightly more volatility. Good stuff.

ROAR is still hiding in the weeds. Curious if this will garner enough attention (volume) to even stick around. CBYYX remains quite small, but CAT bonds has to be a small niche sector.
Estimated inception date I had heard was 9-30-2024.
My PCA custodial account at Schwab is via a state run plan, so maybe the access is different. But NRDCX is now available in this portal. So it should be there soon for all Schwab customers.

It would be a relief to think that in a few months, his main public role could boil down to a "celebrity defendant" in various court cases. Consigned to the dustbin of history.
He claims he does not need the money. Right?
Yeah, he "claims" a lot of things.
If he didn't need the money in 2016 or 2020 or 2024, he's sure doing a lot of grifting for dollars. Maybe it's true that he doesn't NEED money, it's just that he…
Up on high volume and questionable "news". Mini short-squeeze as a result?
Based on his ability to stack up lies without any fear of repercussions, I would take any such statements lightly.
