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.
@Observant1 - Thanks for posting. Changes hadn’t yet been implemented far as I could tell when I checked the December 2021 report a while back. (But was aware of the S&P short position.)
That last line … a bit disconcerting … :) / Also…
@Crash. Good points. My comment was directed more at young and middle aged investors. I don’t think either of the following is inconsistent with the advice @Bobpa shared: (1) gradually shifting to a more conservative allocation over the years commen…
“for most people, most of the time, is to construct a sensible, diversified portfolio, and then to give it time to compound.”
+1 and Thanks. Convincing people to view it this way would seem near impossible. That’s due largely I suspect to human n…
@hank
The filing was submitted early/mid-July. May take a little while longer before symbol is released.
Thank you. Nice to know you’re on top of things.
@TheShadow Thank you for posting this, not blaming you in any way.
Agree. I think they’re just running out of ideas for new ETFs. Any suggestions for the right ticker symbol for this one?
Thanks @dstone42 for commenting.
I’ve tracked ARKK quite a while and have observed that it moves up or down by 5-10% in a single day quite often. Same goes for one of its holdings, DKNG, which I’ve owned in the past. And 15-20% moves over 4 we…
Lightening up. :)
Sold the small ARKK holding purchased just 2 or 3 weeks ago at a 8-10%% gain. Up near 6% this morning. Added to Cash and BAMBX. Wanted to raise some dry power following recent market uptick. Selling Cathie’s fund won out over se…
At first I thought Cathie Wood was in trouble. Trick post? :)
Correction: From Bloomberg it appears ARK is one of Cathie’s funds, Apparently it’s not actively managed like the larger ARKK.
Looking to lighten up a bit on risk today, but can’t find anything any risk segment that hasn’t been absolutely crushed this year - especially the miners. Also non-dollar denominated assets. (Well, energy is one exception.) Hanging on for the …
I’ll accept responsibility for thread wandering off course. Here’s a mid-course correction. :)
Having finished reading the Barron’s Mid-year Roundtable I’m struck by how dower / downbeat most of the participants sounded. Know little of BHANSALI bu…
+1 Thanks @Crash. Good points. Of course the story of the ark is a fable or parable or whatever else one chooses to call it. That certainly does not disprove the existence of God.
Religions vary tremendously. I do think that for some more rigid /…
Thanks for chiming in guys. To be honest, my 2018 Honda didn’t come with Sirius. But the previous car had it and I found myself listening to Bloomberg Radio most of the time. (Financial talk junkie). Now, I realize that Bloomberg Radio is actuall…
“Is the universe infinite? “
Answer: We don’t really know. You can Google that and arrive at different theories.

I’m more inclined to ask a few questions of the religious sort, no disrespect intended:
- The Bible says God created the world. …
@Crash. I feel safer without a gun. Having one would seem likely to provoke another into “shooting first” in the event of hostilities. However I do pay better attention driving. Imagine accidentally rear-ending some dude with a loaded AK-47 on the …
Thanks@BenWP. I can breath easier.
I do own NSGRY (Nestle ADR) at Fido. No big deal. The check-off for auto reinvest seemed to take. But time will tell. Haven’t had it long enough yet.
It was nice to see a decent dividend paid / reinvested t…
Thread has perked my interest. …
Only been able to purchase individual stocks for little over a year after moving to Fido. Just assumed that inside a traditional or Roth IRA, for tax purposes, they would be treated the same way as mutual funds wh…
A.J. Cohen has had quite a career. Years ago, I noted any public statement she might make. Later, it always seemed she was..... WRONG.
On Rukeyser’s show she seemed always the optimist. Nick-named “Gabby” by some back than. I feel in hindsight that …
Thanks @Catch22 for the introspection. Yep - The distances involved are so immense & profound that even scientists surely must find them hard to get their heads around, When I was 5 or 10 years old scientists didn’t even realize other galaxies…
William Priest recommends LSXMA, holder of SirusXM. SiriusXM derives 80% of its revenue from subscriptions by “relatively affluent drivers.”
Just wondering. Yes, 80% of new cars come with Sirius. However, ISTM it will take a backseat to direct …
Barron’s looks fascinating this week.
“Estée Lauder is in the beauty business—and its stock is starting to look like a beautiful buy … Estée Lauder stock (ticker: EL) has fallen 34%, to a recent $245, in 2022, worse than the S&P 500 index's 1…
- Nearly 400 Officers Were in Uvalde Before Gunman Was Killed
I guess this shoots holes in the crazed myth that more guns in the hands of more people would reduce or prevent deaths from mass shootings. Another finding, it was apparently the first…
The two merging galaxies look like a smiley face.
I’ve been asking: “Is there anyone home out there?” That magnificent sight just might replace Amy Lee as my home screen background on several devices. Close call. I was the nerd in 3rd grade who…
Note the “digs” from Tom Keene introducing Larry Summers.
- “Larry’s absolutely on-fire today ...”
- “I had to be medicated for this (interview)”.
:)
Overall, a good show. Formatting seemed better with the two co-hosts,
@davidmoran: not sure what you mean by « CCOR? » A suggestion?
@BenWP - CCOR IS an ETF, Core Alternative . @LewisBraham described it as “interesting” several months ago. I’ve been tracking it since than. Looks inviting, but ISTM the daily volatil…
@hank : I'll restate my comment. Is it time to leave the market & invest elsewhere. Is it possible Mr. Market will take more than a break & & wallow for a number of years in a quagmire ? Until the easy money flows no more & the Fed …
A thought to hash over. If & when the holders & nibblers get back to even will you cash out & go to something with less risk ? I've started to buy a few CD's, buy just maybe it's time to do some more nibbling. ???
@Derf - I do not…
From sfnative “I've been dribbling money in, to absolutely no positive effect thus far.”
Not to quarrel with your assessment or timing methodology …
But a reminder to all that it took roughly 15 months for the last bear market to reverse course. F…
”I wish my 403(b) contributed over the summer, but it doesn't. But in my taxable accounts I've definitely been buying and/or looking to buy.”
Yeah - I agree. Long term money that I may never need. My own lifelong predilection is to rather own thi…
Cheer up! Other than inverse funds, TROW is the only thing I own or track that gained today. Up 10 cents to $111.63. (I do not own it.) That said, it’s down over 42% YTD.
For perspective, both PRWCX and PRSIX are down over 14% YTD.
At ris…
I didn’t want to start a separate thread, so hope no one minds by adding some possibly related thoughts … (2)
- Maybe I’m naive, but I’m sensing some kind of capitulation in the broader equity markets just staring at the numbers, including a 600 po…
TROW $110.77 this morning.
My guess is TROW will be a lot higher in a few years - if you have a long term horizon. Asset managers tend to wax and wane with the overall equity market since their earnings are based largely on fees assessed on t…
Good points by@msf. Yes, quite correct that an asset manager’s higher AUM would tend to increase its share of a stock holding. In addition, since a lot of TROW may be held by index funds, an investment in it might not reflect management’s true app…
