HSGFX at inception: $10.00

LOL. You shouldn’t be posting on a financial thread when you don’t even know the most elementary functions of mutual funds.

And you shouldn’t be a financial advisor for much the same reasoning.

Doesn't matter. I have made my money. Vanguard VGHCX (health care) has returned almost 17% since inception - 1984. 17% annual return. 15% in the last 10 years while the Hussman fund has NEGATIVE 7% in the same time frame. Quite the contrast.

With a return of 17% your portfolio is doubling EVERY 4 YEARS. Your $10,000 is worth $20,000 in 4 years, $40,000 in 8 years, $80,00 in 12 years, 160,000 in 16 years, 320,000 in 20 years, 640K in 24 years, 1.2 million in 28 years and 2.4 million in 32 years. And the HUssman fund? You are at the food line after 4 years?

You’ll be fine if you live another 40 years before drawing down your portfolio in retirement.
Life is good.

AAPL looking good, I will sell it tomorrow or Thursday, hopefully it will hold.
Again I will probably make money, while Igy posts on the internet.?
Hey, buddy. So I won't be seeing you at the Annual shareholder's meeting, then? j/k
I haven't sold a single share of Apple in 19 years, and a good portion dates back to the early 2000's.
Been letting the winners ride....
More earnings to come.
Best of luck.

Do you mean like this?
https://imgur.com/n2ZQkImLooks like you got religion. A far cry from your post.
You’re pretty good at imagur.

Of course that was several months ago and it’s down from that point. So let’s say it’s basically even since inception. Though the tax implications make it an overall loser. But we already knew that.
Meanwhile the graph gives us a nice comparison with the S&P.
OK. Today, I would rather own HSGFX than SPY.
My interest in John Hussman’s research has no connection with his funds. You have brought that up as an issue.
So sorry.

I understand your desire to distance yourself from him, but you cannot separate his words from his funds. They are deeply intertwined.
And you’re deeply entwined in your harassing posts.
Unlike you, I have not insulted anyone today. My posts have all been on point. But I see they have triggered you. My apologies.
You have been attempting to trigger me for years. That is your psychological problem, not mine.
And up, up, up it goes. You know why? Because TRUMP is WINNING!
Sold near 324. Good deal. Come now Igy, don’t be vulgar.
Fees are trivial for me. What will matter is CG, but I have always made more than enough to do well after taxes

AAPL? If so, what's the motivation? This one's been a barn burner, what's the reason to hop off the train at this point?
I still have AAPL in longer-term holdings. This was hust to make a few bucks. I don’t talk specifics, but for me this was a very easy bet, and a very easy few thousand bucks. They add up. It is by chips like this, here and there, some of which I talk about on here, that I have always outperformed the markets. I used to be much more active in trades, but still do a few. I prefer to have cash handy rather than tied up. There are still good individual stock trades to be made.
I will find better opportunities than AAPL for the money, which is all discretionary. I have bought and sold AAPL on here before, and remain open to it as a short-term vehicle. It is because I go in and out so quickly that I never get caught in a crash, yet still manage to make good money. I am probably more paranoid than Igy about markets, yet still manage to make use of them—but it does require work, something I am trying to do less of, which is why I have been testing that b&h.
Caveat: I have found it easy to outperform bull markets. I will not be trying my luck in a bear market, because I have a feeling that I would do poorly. Also, I don’t short. During market doldrums I tend to be even with a decent b&h, but my market allocation goes way down in favor of other investments and activities like art, RE, lending, some PE.
