Yields........a chart view
This is not a performance chart, but a percentage of change chart in yield. I've peeked at this periodically for a number of years......for the chart perspective.
The chart is set for YTD. You may double click the 178 bo…
I remain with Ron Reagan; and especially when religion is perverted into the political side of life for nothing less than total power and control. Remains a most odd aspect of a Christian belief.....my pondering ever since being a young one and abl…
@hank Not surprisingly, the $US value began its current journey shortly after the Ukraine invasion, also resulting in the drop $EUR. The US still remains a stable country related to rules and laws and more or less less not as greatly impacted by com…

Your pundits thoughts that you post/paste are enough to cause mental anguish.
Wondering if Sean Williams has ever provided his portfolio track record in real time.
Do you really go to sleep each night with all of this crap churning in your…
All possible events and situations are off the table of trust; when ethics, honor and a moral base is weak or doesn't exist with an individual. This applies, be it a work group of 5 people, or to the highest levels of government.
At one time, with…
I'm stepping out of bounds a bit, relative to the investing aspect of the post.
Kinda tangent........meaning the twisted thinking and actions coming from Russia, affecting markets and other.

@johnN
I do not think that is part of your nature at this time of your life; based upon your recent writes.
As long as one does not become crazy from the investment challenge, and does not neglect health, family and friends;you'll likely arrive in …
I've followed Mr. K, off and on, periodically. He seems to be quite full of himself. Being a U.S. President has surely passed through his thoughts before sleep arrives.
Me thinks Mr. K likes the shiny lights circuit, ya know; the big top. He's not …
Hi @Crash
I helped a niece and nephew open new accounts with Fidelity a year ago and there wasn't that much paperwork. All the normal items any similar company would require. I linked the start page for them to fill the form online, and all is well.…
Interest rate increases......of benefit to slow down inflation; OR whether that the FED had to do something to appear to be in control of whatever and doing it's work???

One of these days, months or years; with your various predictions on an almost daily basis recently, your money ship may arrive.

Graph only, to the best of my knowledge; and what I use. However, you may hover the cursor anywhere on the graph for a "price". But, this doesn't give you a performance number for a period of time that you prefer.
I understand about some visu…
Hi @hank
I've used Google Finance for more than 10 years to build and use a "watchlist". Mine is only for watching changes for etf's and/or stocks. These may be viewed "real time" (1 day view) or you may select other time frames (5 day, etc.). If on…
Hi @bee
Thanks for equity performance image.
I'll add here, the global etf link that was in the first post of this thread.
Global etf's, multi-sectors, active real time changes through a trading day, as well as, closing performance data. The "opi…
Dirty AC perhaps. Your unit may not have sufficient"electronic filtering" which would attempt to remove "noise" in the AC power source.
Is this now a constant condition? Being flickers, no matter when the unit is powered on.
A few things you could c…
Hi @Sven
Anyone is welcome to start a new, related thread.
The pre-market substantial "red" for the commodities area is the reason for adding to this thread.
Purely an observation of the early day numbers, nothing more. Traditional equity areas are so-so after recent positive runs............BUT, commodities getting the big face slap at this time.....8:30 AM, EST.; reportedly based on poor China economic…
Thanks @Mark
I agree that this sector has a lot of price swings. And not unlike other sector plays, the etf's being introduced has expanded a lot. My interest and use of etf's for sector investing goes back to the early '80's of using Fidelity selec…
@Mitchelg
You stated: "Pelosi should be in jail for hubbies frontrunning trades. Disgusting."
Will you please expand upon anything factual about the "frontrunning".

Presuming that Mr. Colbert is just after laughs, which is the nature of some of his show; I will suggest that the ironies of events, life and human nature are also an attempt at teaching the viewing audience.
It is my opinion th…
Hi @AndyJ
We've had a position in TAN for several months.........just after the "Putin" decided to play war monger. The basis, at the time; being disruption in traditional energy sources. Should've bought a boat load. TAN, among the many choices in…
Hi @Derf and @Old_Joe et al PBS Frontline produced Gasland in 2010 regarding the problems with fracking in the Marcellus range in Pennsylvania. The pressurized system used for fracking was pushing gases into the private/muni well systems.......…
Thanks @Old_Joe. Another cheer from this fella for technology and the thinkers who apply same, for a better world.
Remain invested in broad tech., bio-tech, med-tech., genomics; be they in research stage or selling products.
@hank
My ability to comprehend the universe is limited. Although I've tried to ponder the distances and "what's out there".....I get stuck at some point. My best sensory feeds directly to my brain have been times spent at Eagle Harbor, MI in the Kew…
Hi @Derf @Mark et al
I've looked at previous, but don't use Yahoo Finance for performance data. Perhaps one needs to "sign in" for accurate info.
My one quick and dirty view is via M*......no subscription needed.
I look at about 20 items per week…
Hi @InformalEconomist Thanks for the reminder. I've viewed Fairmark in the past but had not added the site to my current "to do" list.
Take care,

Thanks @sma3
What we've done over the years is to not withhold much tax from the monthly pension payments, knowing we will underpay for the year; but when pulling the RMD's for the IRA's in December, we withhold extra tax for these distributions. Th…
Thanks @Ben
Your summary is in line with our understanding, too. Although not of consequence; one may pay estimated taxes at any time; not having to follow quarterly ending dates, to the best of our understanding. But, your note about Jan. 15th, 202…
