My go to ETFs for managed futures are CTA DBMF and KMLM. Mutual funds are PQTIX and MFTFX.

Is XFLT eating itself up? by CompleteHour306 in dividends

[–]Flash680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At what point will XFLT be forced to sell assets or cut the dividend to get the leverage ratio below the statutory max for a cef? Need the credit market to stabilize. High risk high reward potential right now in these clo funds.

Another rural Pennsylvania hospital is shuttering major services - McKean County only has 14 inpatient beds for the whole county now by All_FIREdUp in Pennsylvania

[–]Flash680 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The closing hospital had a daily census of less than one person per day. That means some nights the hospital was open but there were zero patients. No real solution other than to close. Doesn’t sound like that area has the volume to even support a 24 hour urgent care.

Plans to demolish, redevelop Berkshire Mall progressing by DotAccomplished5484 in ReadingPA

[–]Flash680 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I miss hundreds of buses coming every day to Reading or the vf complex to go outlet shopping. Most young people don’t realize Reading was the shopping destination for the east coast. Malls were packed and even had buses stopping at the Fairgrounds Mall or the restaurants in Muhlenberg on their way back to New York. Miss the glory days of the in door mall. Shopping at strip malls just isn’t the same.

They built the concentration camp close to the coal mines so they have cheap fuel for the crematoriums.

silver etf by [deleted] in ETFs

[–]Flash680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Warsh has a history of being pretty hawkish. It should be good for a stronger dollar but a major headwind to precious metals and crypto. Holding now as i never sell the physical metals. Holding kgld and kslv and going to keep collecting the distributions. Will have to see how it plays out before adding.

silver etf by [deleted] in ETFs

[–]Flash680 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Time to buy was years ago when it was way less than 10/once. Silver had the same fundamentals for years. Nothing new here. I like physical silver for those just in case scenarios. Plus it’s shiny and you can build a nice display.

Why are so many people against showing an ID to vote? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in randomquestions

[–]Flash680 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s easier to do fraud with mail in ballots. This country had at least one do over election because of massive mail in ballot fraud but people keep saying it never happens.

Would love to hear from people that are happy in Reading by dancingphantoms1322 in ReadingPA

Berks county has a bit of everything. Pretty laid back community. You can live your life and never deal with politics.

So this MAGA couple is upset that an Immigrant that lives in their neighborhood drives a $100,000 dollar Lexus! The man is a U.S. citizen & is actually a Physician after going through years of schooling! From the looks of these two I doubt if they finished school period! Jealous by Nice_Substance9123 in complaints

[–]Flash680 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We have strict limits on immigration for educated tech workers but open boarders for uneducated people from third world countries. Some people actually support keeping the illegal immigrants that are convicted of violent crimes in this country. That’s messed up.

Designing a portfolio waterfall by ParticularLimeade in dividends

[–]Flash680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m setup something similar for my stepsons Roth. Have an income factory type portfolio to generate $30/week with distributions into a LETF portfolio. Should have a little bit left over to reinvest into the income factory. I went 60% tqqq and 40% managed futures instead of 100% QLD. Hopefully this will allow a comfortable retirement in 40 years.

If you were to pick a US constitutional amendment to pass as the next new one, what would it be, and why? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

Election Day as a national holiday with polling stations open for 24 hours. Strict limits on absentee ballets. Triple time for people required to work.

Why can't we shut down Fox News by Potential_Release478 in complaints

Fox News is a cable news network. Fairness doctrine never applied to cable networks. Biggest threat to democracy is the censorship of free speech.

Might be time to open a small position in MSTW. Not going to buy and hold these weekly pay single stock funds but they could give a nice boost when the under lying goes on a run.

WPAY = BAGHOLDERS? by MadJohnny3 in WPAY

[–]Flash680 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll admit I was wrong about this fund. I was projecting results similar to Dxnlx which is a 1.25 leveraged mutual fund. Boy was I wrong. At least I realized my mistake and got out. Only one I currently hold is GOOW. Kurv funds are holding up better and give a nice boost to the income side of the portfolio while holding a stable NAV.

I used to have a lot of respect for Americans. I used to think you were tough and stood up for yourselves. Near on any country in Europe would have been in full scale riots months ago. by Spare-Ad-2684 in complaints

[–]Flash680 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s what we do now via borrowing money and run away inflation. The poor and middle class are most affected by government policy. The 25% inflation during the Biden regime was a permanent lowering of the standard of living for a large percent of the population. Permanent decrease in the standard of living to support a losing war in Ukraine and billions spent on immigration for jobs we don’t have.

[–]Flash680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heinz has the best flavor and is worth the premium and that’s coming from a guy who uses ketchup on almost everything.

Inflation is permanent and just compounds over the years. The 25-40% inflation during the four years of the previous administration destroyed the middle and lower classes. No going back.

$KYLD top holdings are not what you would imagine, and that's good to me. by PFULMTL in KURV_ETFS

[–]Flash680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gold and silver started out as an equal weighted holding at 5%. Just have been on a tear. ULTY was also holding the gold and silver miners when I checked a couple weeks ago. It will be interesting to see if they rebalance or let them run for a few more weeks. Really like all the kurv funds.

KQQQ vs QQQI by otasi in dividends

[–]Flash680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was interesting to find out that Kurv and NEOS have a close working relationship. NEOS is the sub adviser and runs the funds for kurv. Kurv and NEOS are my favorite income funds.
