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.
Certainly, yes! I put all my stuff together a long time ago in a portfolio at Morningstar, and as far as it goes, I still think it's the most user-friendly, even if the updates are slow. But elsewhere on their website, I see contradictory data and …
(I'm transplanting this question here from the other thread, in case it might help to speed-up a reply:)
I just saw that particular Morningstar thread which our InformalEconomist shared from Morningstar, about no MAPIX 4Q pay-out. The fellow who po…
Hello, JC! Reassuring, thanks. And your final remark helps me understand why MAINX is not tracking so much higher, along with some other bond funds. M* has it in a "World Bond" category. I think they just didn't bother to look under the hood! My EM …
I own MAPIX, MAINX, MACSX and MEASX. (MAPIX and MEASX are the two biggest. The other positions are considerably smaller.) I find the commentaries to be well-written, meaning that they are not BORING. I sometimes read the gratuitous commentaries offe…
I'm crestfallen, but I'm not going to sell it. Along with JohnChisum, it's my own core Asia fund, too. I certainly will be looking for the next Fund Managers' commentary! That fund is my biggest holding, so getting no 4Q pay-out sucks big. Thanks, e…
"Max, they want specifics......if you call them, the rep will go to your portfolio(s) and address all your specific concerns. The more specific details you can give them about your account and portfolio, what issues came up and when/what time, the …
JohnChisum, thank you. .....I'm back again looking at my portfolio, as well as other things. Of course, by now, at midnight (Fri-Sat) the numbers are updated--- though for some, "rank in category" are not updated: DLFNX MAPIX MAINX MEASX SFGIX T…
Witty AND smart: "The good news is that enlightenment and self-knowledge leads to improvement. If you are aware of your cognitive errors, if you know what you are doing wrong you can at least put into place steps to ensure you are no longer your own…
:) And William Daniels is just great. I played the same stage character once, that he did, from Edward Albee's 2-man play, "The Zoo Story." The ordinary, comfortable, middle class fellow, just reading on a park bench. Until.....
Max: Do you know what she's called?
Who could forget Incontinentia B.? (But hey, the crowd says, what about Bwian!)
LOL... Bwian? No, BRIAN! LOL. Thwoe him to the fwoor, centuwion, vewy woughwy.
Hmmmmmmm. I thought mine were already all caught-up..... I just looked again, and I see that all of my stuff put together, according to Morningstar, equals just 99.7% of my stuff. This is getting to be risible. Like Biggus Dickus. ........He has a w…
".......We’ve recently made a number of updates to the site, so we’re working to categorize and understand this issue so that we can resolve it definitively......"
Shaking my head. What does this even MEAN? .....
Excerpt from the "Slate" thing: "Yet Pew’s own research has demonstrated that it is exceedingly rare for Americans to go from rags to riches, and that more modest movement from the bottom of the economic ladder isn’t common either. In fact, economic…
I like this, although the source makes me look askance. "Personal Motivators" are showmen, first and foremost. The article is not too long and manages to SAY something. It is consistent with my own way of putting the question: "Is investing a Scienc…
