    This part is good, maybe they can get it implemented before I die...

    "Accenture will also help the FRTIB provide several new services, including a mutual fund window, electronic signature capabilities and a mobile app..."

    But this is weird, how are they going to coordinate to get the daily share prices posted in a timely manner?

    "BlackRock again will serve as the primary manager for the C, S, F and I funds. It will manage 80% of the S,F and I funds, and 90% of the C fund, McCaffrey said.
    The FRTIB selected State Street Global Advisors as its second fund manager last month. It will manage the remaining 20% of the S, F and I funds, and 10% of the C fund, shares that range from $9.9 billion to nearly $22 billion."


    I reached +9.66% yesterday, on the cusp of double digits, but wow some of the returns on the tracker for this year are impressive....80%?!

    The anticipated return for the rest of the 2020s just gets worse and worse. Enjoy your cake now!

    Congrats.
    We should ask Tom if anyone has finished any year on the Tracker higher than or equal to 80%. Talk about timing it just right.
    I've been lucky. I rode my account in March to a minus 31.17% and yesterday I'm sitting at a plus 20.74%. Nothing fancy I just figured I'm going to stay in the "S" fund and see what happens. I still have 2 IFT's for the month and my two for December. Now comes the hard part. What to do for the rest of the year.
    May the force be with us.

    I stopped following John Hussman around April 2020. I just couldn't take him anymore. Guy seriously has an axe to grind.

    A few miscellaneous things...

    I'm behind the curve in hearing about new ETFs. Here's a couple I discovered this week that are interesting. Does anyone else have any newer ETFs they like?

    https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/QCLN/holdings?p=QCLN Way too much NIO in that fund. I prefer BYDDF in the EV space.

    https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/qqqj/holdings?p=qqqj I like that one, not as much hype as the top 100 and they're probably growing faster.
    So far it's outperforming QQQ: https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=QQ...d=p32848568560

    I thought it's interesting and rather ominous that we're still getting a series of lower highs in the RSI on the monthly SPX chart. Tick tick tick...

    QCLN trading at a 4% premium to NAV.

    I'm not a fan of these niche "green" or ESG funds. With fees so low nowadays, if a fund company can eek out a little bit more to invest in "clean" stuff, then they are going to push it on their clients. The fact that everyone believes we'll some day be powering our entire grid by the sun, wind, and maybe hydro means there is a lot of good news baked into these types of investments. The growth in this space is nothing more than P/E expansion which is unsustainable over any longer time frame. Eventually those earnings need to catch up to the price - no matter how rosy the outlook.

    Looks like Sparky got his 100% gain for 2020 today. Amazing.

    Sparky714, at the top of the Autotracker. Just one well-timed move into the S fund in March is all it took.
