Tribes are fun. It's why sports are so popular. We identify with a team. It's your team vs. my team. Or it's our team vs. the world.

I'm a long suffering New York Jets fan because I grew up on Long Island. It's the part of New York that loves underdog teams and stepping on rakes. In sports, we're the Charlie Brown when Lucy is holding onto the football. All my friends were Jets fans, misery loves company afte ..read more

I was poking around the Bogleheads forum when I discovered this thread about an interval fund. I’ve heard of all kinds of funds, but this is the first time I’ve heard about interval funds. Regarding funds, I’m pretty much an index mutual fund or index exchange-traded fund (ETF). They’re all at Vanguard, though I think Fidelity, Charles Schwab, and all the other low-cost providers are great, too. Interval funds are a completely different animal, and, in this case, the original poster invested in a Variant Alternative Income Fund (NICHX): Thank you in advance for your time.
