Protect your precious investment $'s. Don't let some left wing mutual fund company or fund manager put your investment $'s in peril by investing in our enemies and what appear to Dinosaur investments.

As noted in my post, please excuse this vanity.

This is the only way I know how to warn Freepers about these potentially bad investments.

Thanks

This is not the usual thread I ping you with.

However, this might be very important re any mutual fund investments you may have.

Dave, I'm not concerned anymore.
I've cashed in all my mutual funds and invested the cash in Thai massage parlors.
Things are always up in that business.

That is good, and I do it. However, this is one time I believe in diversity, diversity re investments.

Interesting thread. I had no idea that mutual funds had invested in formerly renowned news businesses.

Gannett Co, Inc. (GCI)

Pre-tax earnings yield = 10%

Pre-tax return on capital > 50%

PE = 12

Sounds like a buy to me.

One of my younger relatives, who is probably more conservative than I am, sent me that link.

It was very enjoyable to read their tales and tears of woe.
