Thank you sma3! We are spending this summer in northwest again. I have no quiet place I can be before noon eastern (9 am here). Library opens at 9am! I've set up a session for Friday, 2 pm eastern ... posted on board. But, if that does not work, just call me at 805 468 9599 ... if I can pick up I will. Hopefully, can pick a day where you can attended from noon on. Very happy to do! c

Just posted all ratings to MFO Premium site, using Refinitiv data drop from Friday, 11 July 2025. FLOW combo tool updated through yesterday.
Typically, we try to post on Saturday, day of Lipper drop. But we incorporated a new Navigation Bar, which …
@yogibearbull. Yeah, sorry YBB. Probably because early post was just a peak at mid-year ... suspect all good now, given full Lipper drop. Let me know if not.
@MrRuffles.

I tried switching from my iPhone to a Google Pixel a few years back.
I lasted one day. Returned the Pixel and sped to the Apple Store begging them for a new iPhone ... and to be let back in the family. Damn the cost. Slave for life.

All the MFO flow tools (FLOW, FLOWS, TNA) roll AUM and flows to oldest share class level, which makes things a littl…
