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.
@hank- consensus- a general agreement. Not an "average". A consensus can certainly have outliers. For example, a panel of three legal judges can have a consensus verdict of "yes" with two out of three opinions, the third opinion being "no".
Seriously (for a change)- I suspect that it's just a quirk in the Vanilla software. I'm very certain that the MFO "monitors" have a lot better things to do with their lives than sit there watching a computer screen to see if any of us are doing bad …
@Ben- How about one of those motorized scooter things? Lots of those in SF. There's also a really interesting little motorized gizmo with only one wheel, too... a uniscooter, I guess. Daredevils with (hopefully) good balance zoom around on those. I…
It seems to me that all of this "seeing red" is predicated on wanting to sell your Treasury or CD instruments before they mature. If you are in it for the income, and plan to keep the investment until maturity, why would you care what the current "v…
@Crash- While disregarding your rather uncivil suggestion, I note that you didn't answer any of my questions.
FACT: Ever since commercial trading began this type of conduct has been part of the action.
QUESTION: What's so different about "capita…
@Crash- do you really think that financial games and "gotchas" started with "capitalism"?
Do you really think that in today's world non-capitalistic financial systems don't do this stuff?
Do you really think that the early Genoese and Venetian t…

@BenWP - You quit just a sentence too soon. After recombobulation came this: "when do we ever know that anything in economics is true?" Now that sure makes sense.
You do raise an interesting point, though... if somebody or something is discombobul…
"he may well have started someone clever on the path to creating the latest-crazy-idea"
If somebody can figure out how to make money on this I demand my cut. :)
@Junkster- Right on. Because we have more than enough income from SS and pensions to live on, our main requirement for our financial assets is safety, not growth, particularly. The current financial environment is perfect for that, with Treasury/CD/…
