    Hi, Catch!
    The top holdings in the portfolio FSPGX scare me away, in addition to the transaction fee at Schwab. All the stocks I love to hate. I've hated them for decades. Impossible to find funds which do NOT hold some or all of them. My current holdings do hold those companies already.

    When interest rates come down, it will surely aid my regional bank stock, BHB. And time will tell if BCE (Bell Canada) is a value trap. Just now, regulatory requirements have put it on the back foot.

    As for positive performance, my ET is carrying the rest of the taxable portfolio on its own back, singly. My cost basis in ET is super-low. I'm loving it! And TS is facing new headwinds. But the world is not going to stop needing high-quality oil drilling pipes anytime soon.
  • Ah, yes; I should have used Schwab. ER of .035% = almost free !
    SWLGX M* performance
    We're only talking 10% of an entire portfolio.
