Please help with acronym watch condition at Jones & Horan "Click" to Login or Register

hello all, I was looking at the Jones and Horan site. Can't figure out what the reference to "many/some MFS" is in the condition report. It has to be simple but I give up, I just draw a blank.
Thanks in advance.

Regards
Rick

Peter, how thoughtful of you. Thank you for the courtesy. "RPBM" would have made me suicidal trying to figure out that one. Have already printed the list.

Regards
Rick
