I finally got around to updating the table containing a listing of my stock funds. This table will include closed end funds, ETFs and mutual funds. I have not included any bond fund, but have listed balanced funds that have over a 50% weighting in stocks. The only controversial addition to this table is the "Permanent Portfolio" mutual fund which has less than a 50% weighting in stocks. As noted in the prior post on this subject, that fund is included in the following table because of the large weighing in gold and silver bullion, which scares the Old Geezer more than stocks.
The last table was published in October 2012:
Since that time, I have added starter positions in several mutual funds: Item # 5 Stocks, Bonds & Politics: Stock Funds Table
Initiated Position in ABRZX Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation A
Initiated Position in VHCOX Vanguard Capital Opportunity
Initiated Position in Vanguard Wellington Fund (VWELX)
Initiated Position in VHCOX Vanguard Capital Opportunity
Initiated Position in Vanguard Wellington Fund (VWELX)
Initiated Position in FMIHX FMI Large Cap
I will decide later when to add to those funds. I would prefer doing so only after a significant correction.

Sometimes all of this trading works. Sometimes the result is less than optimal.
Snapshots of some of my large unrealized gain positions as of 6/6/13:
Vanguard Equity Income |
Vanguard Star |
Vanguard Health |
This fund was purchased by exchanging out of the Vanguard Inflation Protected Bond fund Exchanged VIPSX for VGHCX
Vanguard ETF High Dividend |
Adams Express |
Permanent Portfolio |
Matthews Mutual Funds MACSX and MAPTX |
Gabelli Dividend |
CBRE Global Real Estate |
Royce Micro Cap |
Janus Balanced Fund |
SSEMX Emerging Markets |
To arrive at a total return, it would be necessary to add the dividends paid by these funds to the unrealized gain in the shares, including those shares bought with those dividends.
SSEMX is one of the funds where I pared my position to just 100 shares in 2007. (see snapshots in Item # 5 Bought 100 APF at $14.55)
2007 SSEMX $411.47 |
2007 Liquidation Vanguard ETF Positions |
2007 Liquidation LEXCX +$1,007.2 |
2007 Pare MAPTX $338.62 |
2007 Liquidation Artisan Funds (ARTIX, ARTLX, ARTQX) +$1,368.71 |
2007 Liquidation RJJSX 164+ Shares +$333.68 |

2007 Liquidation PSPFX +$620.86 |
2007 Liquidation GOISX +$98.01 |
2007 Liquidation PAXWX +$137.03 |
I also pared in BJBIX late in December 2006 and eliminated TASCX :
2006 BJBIX 50 Shares +$746.95 |
2006 Liquidation TASCX 178+ Shares +$533.52 |
My current primary loser is GGN. The other loser is ADRU with a $636 unrealized loss. I forgot to put that one in my last table. The discussed averaging down twice: ADDED TO ADRU at $18.91 (August 2009); and a brief mention in Item # 3 Bought ADRU at "around" $14.5 in April. My initial buy was at an inopportune time for adding a European stock ETF, a 100 share purchase at a total cost of $31.39 in 2008. The other two purchases are in the green by $271+.
