Well, I am having fun, beating the S&P, collecting my 20k in dividends, making Covid and winter fly by, keeping my grandkids regularly, and enjoying the heck out of my new dog. Is there more? Bitcoin!!

Decided to exchange a few more shares of VMGMX (mid cap growth) into increasing my VSIAX (small cap value). I'd do a larger exchange, 'cept this is a taxable acc. and the VMGMX shares are up 132%. Still dealing with Obamacare for a few more years so limits what I can take in taxable cap gains. Clearly midcap growth has far outperformed smallcap value over most any time frame on the chart. But that said, there was in fact a crossover in the first week of November and smallcap value has outperformed by about 10% since then. Not enough to change history though, but we'll see. Think I read that inflows into the market last week set an all time record and I'm thinking some of that is due to a new generation of investors being stimulated from reddit,gme,amc -weed etc.(and once they're in, they're in) Perhaps like many other things as a result of covid, working from home, buying a home etc., time has been sped up a bit and spurred some to action. Probably overly simplistic, but kiss :) A good week for smallcaps,mid and emerging markets. ytd, 10,000ft view. (MGK up 5.61% ytd for a comparison) 10yr yield is the clear winner.
