Thanks @Observant1
And I wasn’t predicting an immediate precipice. or drawing a direct parallel to 2000. Odds are these stocks will continue to move a lot higher before something breaks. Possibly for years. And it should be noted that even fo…
I won’t change your mind, and you won’t change mine, I simply shared an episode from years ago, Personally, I’m standing clear. Lots of other places to invest. It’s your money to do what you want with. A year ago folks were salivating all over abou…
Not much of a sports fan. Can’t stand football. View some evening MLB games in the summer - more so if a friend’s grandson is in the O’s lineup. Yes - I do occassionally watch the NBA and wager $3, $4, $5 on outcome of a night game - but only…
I stay as far away as I can from them.

Thanks Yogi. People seem to love or hate the fund in its various guises. Morningstar takes aim at it for any number of reasons … Franklin’s Desai in this year’s Barron’s Roundtable recommends it as a top pick. (obviously a biased source ). What sh…
And just remember that there are a whole lot of people who believe that labor unions are responsible for this sort of thing, not the management which creates the operating environment.
Well … they say Mussonili made the trains run on time.
Using PV shows that the fund name had been FKINX and in 2008 the return was -30.51%.
At least that's how I took it.
Could be. Fido shows FKINX closed to new investors. Modest $1,000 min. and a slightly lower ER (.60) vs. FKIQX’s .70
Yes. That wo…
What exactly are you looking for?
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. :(

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%.

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.
