FKIQX 2008 performance - because it was an awful year for low grade bonds which the fund holds. ISTM it lost over 20% that year. / Yahoo used to work. Not today. Actually, I check every fund I look at against i…
Fidelity will let you do a same day, cross-family exchange if you place the order over the phone
Is there not an extra charge for over the phone transactions?
@BenWP / As I recall, 3 was the last row of first class on that plane. Usually take 2A. But it was booked before I could grab it. Don’t care for first row because you have to stow even small items overhead for takeoff / landing (no seat to put th…
Seems like a slight “tug-of-war” being played out on the airways between Powell, who appeared on 60-Minutes Sunday and Fed member Austin Goolsbee who appeared on Bloomberg this morning. The difference in language is slight. But Powell seems to be s…
My experience with emerging markets has been along the lines of submerging markets and sunk costs. :(
Yes. Right out of Disney Studios - “A tale as old as time ...”
EM as an investment has not lived up to expectations. My first experience owning …
Re photo - ”Landing lights” (extending from wing / visible in photo) + ”wing inspection lights” (fuselage mounted / not visible) illuminate a wing’s leading edge & engine on a United A-319 during final approach / landing at Chicago’s O’Har…
EM? Ideal for small speculative positions. You can even hone in on specific areas like Latin America, Africa, Middle East. The trick is knowing when to get in (generally when things can’t get any worse) and when to get out (ie: just before Puti…
How is it that all this supposedly “expert” and well timed investment advice emanating from the highest levels of corporate America flows apparently seamlessly down to we average schmoes free of charge? (OK - maybe a cable bill from watching bubbl…
I have had NVDA since 8/22. Sold 1/3 of it in 4/23 since it was over my 3% max for individual stock. We are over that limit again. What to do? YTD +2.5%.
Old proverb - “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” Really depends on your age and r…
Thank you @zenbrew
Something I hadn’t realized before. You have it correct. Click on “classic view” header at the top and the numbers match those Catch pulled up from Leuthold’s site.
Hmm … Something to munch on (the discrepancies among the…
Thanks fellas. I thought it looked suspect. Wonder why M* has it so far off? I’ve looked at M* in the past and it showed a much higher allocation to equities for LCORX so I incorrectly assumed a change had occurred. M* also downgraded LCORX from go…
Certainly looks like Leuthold is preparing for a “down market”. Just looked this morning and LCORX is sitting at 13% equity exposure according to M*. That’s based on around 17% long and 4% short equity positioning. According to M* 74% of the fund…
Thanks guys. Not real familiar with this firm. But have held NLSAX a couple years. At $6.6 Bil AUM no reason to worry. Yes, those AUMs @msf cites for the affected funds portfolios in the $30-40 Mil range are very low.
” Neuberger Berman Advisers Management Trust® (“AMT Funds”)
Is this some kind of institutional class? I was curious what the current AUM (deemed insufficient) actually is, but can’t seem to pull the fund up on M*.
There was a lot of hype today on mainstream news about the market’s “9th record close of the year”. and that the S&P is nearing 5,000. I agree with the above poster that this all seems rather discombobulated with bonds tanking the way they di…
Powell will be interviewed on CBS 60 Minutes Sunday.
Bonds are getting roughed up a bit this morning as a result of the release of data showing an unexpected sharp jump in hourly wages. Number of job openings also rose, defying expectations. (Good…
Fun day. The only individual stock I own fell near 10% out of the gate this morning on an overnight Qtr. 4 earnings report. I added to it a couple times throughout the morning. Rebounded a bit and ended day less than 7% down. Am now considering…
How did Hussman not make the list? HSGFX “boasts” a - 3.8% (negative) annual return over the past 15 years, according to M*. In fairness, at least one on the list is an inverse fund. So folks should have understood what they were doing when they b…
That such a fund existed is proof that there are far too many ETFs available. Good riddance.
”There’s a sucker born …
But - ISTM Cramer got the last laugh here. The fund has lost 15% from inception.
I’d been a satisfied “Prime” member for 2 decades. But, following the pandemic, they never seemed to get back to the promised 2-day shipping speeds. Week-long wait sometimes. Then I decided I liked Apple music better (it integrates better with A…
@Old_Joe - I’ll try. They’re so slick you don’t realize it’s happening. The first case was at the start of the NBA season in October last year. I went to their Prime Video and agreed to a monthly plan to stream NBA games. They were authorized to bi…
Call me lucky. I’ve gifted easily a dozen WMart gift cards to folks over the past decade (up to $200 in amounts) without issues. And have received / cashed a few as well. I belong to their online no-fee shipping plan for under $100 a year. Super …
I’m better off financially for having left TRP when I did. Looking back at what I owned there when I pulled out in early ‘21 and how those funds did in ‘21, ‘22 and ‘23, I’m substantially ahead of the curve. Just 1 individual. Maybe I just didn’…
Years ago there was a poster here named “Max”. He changed his name to “Crash” - shortly preceding the introduction of the “737 Max”.
Holy S*** / What did he know and when did he know it?
Additionally, The Guardian also reports that judge Kaplan told jurors “My advice to you is that you never disclose that you were on this jury, and I won’t say anything more about it.”
Sad commentary of where we are as a nation. The Godfather was j…
FWIW - I have made a handful of account transfers from other brokerage firms (Schwab, Scottrade) or mutual fund companies to my Fidelity brokerage account. In all cases I filled out Fidelities forms directing them to initiate the transfers. They ha…
I did have a credit card / debit card linked checking account “cleaned out” one time by unknown person(s). Fortunately the balance at the time wasn’t high. I did suspect it was carried out by an employee of a local newspaper which had monthly “aut…
Thanks @BenWP. I hope that’s the case. I’m not aware of having HondaLink. But the gear might be aboard. Hope you’re more satisfied with the dealer service than I am.
>”How can a check be cancelled after it has been credited as a deposit?”
My oversight. - I’ve deleted ”deposited” and substituted “credited” in the earlier reference.
I suppose that technically it’s not really a “deposit” until the check cl…
@hank
You noted: Seriously … I’m convinced that moving from TRP to a Fido brokerage account several years ago took 2-3 years off my life. Horrendous experience.
Horrendous regarding which organization? Thank you.

Thanks for the ”catch” Catch. Som…
