Howdy Maurice,
I saw this notification, too. Two very, very bright persons I have listened to for many years.
Their abilities to mix the auto knowledge with their most keen sense of humor and wit is not to be found elsewhere.

Howdy WSR,
Thank you for the note about the "Motifs".
Additional.........for a forward thought as to being able to build one's own "Motif" using etf's. Not available at this time; but the stock only model could be applied to etf's, too.

Maurice and msf cover all the bases of choices and considerations, with their replies.

More roulette games, eh; Scott?
All the new and "fancy" offerings in the past 2 years remind me of newly added sideshows every year at a traveling carnival.
Can't say that the hedge funds on average have much of a return record to the investors in…
Individual investors, may in some cases; be considered by others as different. 'Course, there are not a lot of us; as I will not count those who let the monies fall into a 401k or similar and do not take an active role in managing the money; as well…
Hmmmmmmmm.......
As I have not yet printed my PhD paper, to hang onto the wall; from an internet site, I am only able to express an opinion based on something less.

Howdy Kaspa,
Your money is in a good place; as you should have been able to keep your equity gains from last fall and now compounding upon that. The ultimate plan, eh?
One may suppose some magical event taking place and the financial troubles will…
Scott, thanks for the link.
Wondering what trading is not covered? The question being in reference to "other trades" that are not known by the SEC, Finra or Mr. Dimon....et al.

Howdy bee,
I will presume you don't bump into trading limits (round trips within the fund house)with your USAA account; if this is where these are held?
Several of our accts limit fund exchanges to 20/year.
Take care,

Thanks, Skeeter; for the article.
The article writer noted:
"Therefore, while the crystal ball remains cloudy, with possible thunderstorms on the horizon, we think that yield-starved investors will likely resume, once the current near-panic rush …
Hi scott,
I apologize for stepping on a post/link you had provided previously. I honestly don't recall.
But, the video is worth a watch again for what today's world is, versus 2 years ago, eh?
Take care,
Catch
Howdy Maurice,
You noted: " Amazing how one can manipulate graphs. The Y axis is from 0.00 to -0.30"
The graph is for about a 30 day period. I don't understand the "manipulate" statement.
Near May 3, the yield was about zero and has declined sinc…
Howdy Keoweekay,
Are you noting "won't be back" as related to the investing markets or otherwise.
If you are concerned about this particular thread, you must keep in mind that this was posted in the "off-topic" area.
Past this, if you have been r…
Hi scott,
Thanks for the link; and it states what I do and have been watching for a reflection the equity markets, too.
Whether one is, or chooses to not invest in any bond funds; watching the various sectors may present some clues to directions fo…
My favorite of the day from Mr. Draghi.............."ECB will continue to support solvent banks." AHH....., a most crucial use of words, eh? Who will define "solvent", and will you please step forward with the fully audited books.

Hi OJ,
Bushy Jr. gave us a $600 credit thingy several years ago. We recycled the money back into the local economy via a small home re-do/fix.
But, gotta be at least $5k/folk to begin to make any dent. 'Course all income tax could be eliminated fo…

Scott, thank you. Was reading this from another report; and noting that although bond funds had a positive flow, the numbers are a fair amount lower than previous week. Wonder if some folks are moving away from both areas....nah !!! I have not dug i…
Hi Kenster,
We use a medium sized local credit union for our emergency monies and an auto loan if we ever need another one. I am boycotting the big kids and I don't care if they want to give a toaster oven or a cash back credit card to switch.

Hey OJ; my 27 ounces of dark chocolate has not kicked in yet, so I'm still too sassy. Ally......huh, as this was and still is grown in MI in the same dark places as mushrooms and using the same type of the best of manure for bedding....another note …
Hi OJ,
I will not disagree with that fairness view. However, if the portfolio holdings were not known, this fact should have been indicated by the writer. Though not a scholar by any measure, am I; this article would have had my "re-do" stamp affix…
Not enough info to make a straight forward call upon this portfolio, as the list of holdings and reasons is not available. I would agree with what is known; that 33 may be a bit much.
Lastly, how is the advisor paid for the service provided? Is the…
Hi andrei,
Thank you for this personal insight. Many of us have received any number of mailings over the years regarding "so and so" and their investment programs. The internet has produced many more of these projects attempting to get our attention…

Thank you for this post. Many pieces of this article have been discussed at FA and here, too.

Howdy msf,
You noted, "M* recently noted that Fidelity has assigned 5% of its assets to managers other than Tillinghast. That could be noise, or it could portend more changes."
I will assume you are aware of the recent moves by Fido to form teams …
