Rich valuations don't matter.... until they do. Markets correct, and this one will as well. For now, the bravado continues. We are waiting on another stimulus injection to keep the party going. Earnings mean nothing these days because the market…
Looks like JASSX is available at FIDO with $2500 min, but a $49.95 fee. JASVX is available NTF at ETRADE, $250 min.
The time to pick the low hanging fruit was 8 months ago (says Captain Hindsight). So do you still buy/add to these higher risk …
These asset class charts are always interesting, but they never do help with future expectations. Its history. Never a bad idea to be invested in all Asset classes to some degree, I suppose.
Example: I feel like commercial REITs will have a…
Thanks for your replies, JD and wxman.
I am leaning towards swapping some of my Low Vol $$$ to GAVAX or CTFAX.
Additional thoughts welcome.

FYI - Just a reminder about CTFAX - the fund changes its baseline equity allocation % quite a bit, …
I like to pair SWAN with DRSK.
I am looking into CLIX, a long-short ETF (long online Retailers, short brick & mortar) which performed well back in March and has had an excellent year for obvious reasons.
Going for lower risk, but lower return…
"Rhetoric" is too complimentary a word. Bullshit is more like it.
Ok, I will go with "TROLLING".
Since Fox News propaganda isn't cutting it for him these days, he must go online to spread the faux news himself. But their battle is already lost.…
6) Making lists incorporating conspiracies and intent on angering the other guy.
Great point - this is where you wish we had an IGNORE option here at MFO.
Maybe FD's rhetoric would fly better elsewhere.
FD, he's one and done. "Deal with it". No class at all, even on his way out. He dodged the draft and responsibility (for anything) for the past 4 yrs, but he can't dodge the numbers. He never won the popular vote, either - not in 2016 (though …
Here's what scares me about Reverse Mortgage lenders. They had earned a bad rep for trying to pull the carpet out from under in the past. Like hawks, they look for an opening.
For example, lets say you send in your HOA payment late. Certain Reve…

Go big or go home - let's shoot for 40! We gonna party like its 1999 all over again.
What pandemic? Pftttt. Pfizer has a vaccine now. Plus we have a new POTUS and p…
I can see more of a Stimulus package rally after the election in anticipation of Congress finally passing something. Like any junkie, the market desperately needs another hit.
Despite the past few trading sessions being down, RLSFX has gone up both days. I guess they actually make use of their ability to short when the market turns.
Added to SWAN, DRSK and MO (yielding almost 9%).
Starter positions in CDC (VictoryShares US EQ Income Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF) and FDL (First Trust Morningstar Dividend Leaders Index Fund) 5.5% yield.
No large purchases yet - lots of c…
Looking at CVSIX (Calamos Market Neutral), the last negative calendar year it had was 2008. The downside is that its 10 year annual return is just over 4%. Maybe a nice Bond fund substitute? It does its job quietly.

Wish granted. Replace your link to MFO with this link:

In fact why don't you investigate all the category choices (on the left of a PC page) and ignore Discussions+ until the spam…
