Hi @carew388 et al

Kinda like HollyWood Squares. I'll go with top/center for the win. Does she currently do any business broadcasting? I've not watched that network for years.

A June 8th good morning, @hank et al.
This chart is a permanent chart-link I set a number of years ago, for a quick reference; whenever I want to take a peek at U.S. gov't. yields.
The default at the bottom of the chart is "200 days". You may dou…
I've already signed "you" up for the short trip. (I know the right folks to ask.)
They promised they would mail to you, the proper release and insurance forms.
"Priority mail", of course.

hank. This T-note etf may be a bit past what you're looking for......I've tracked this for a number of years. This Pimco TIPS etf is listed as 1-5 years, but generally only holds 2-5 year maturity. E.R. is .20%, so; doesn't cost much to buy.

@TheShadow Thank you.

Hi @hank
Taxable or sheltered account?
I ask, as the paperwork for a taxable account isn't worth my time; for the small amount of interest earned for a tax year via an investment as FLDR. Note: I recall that one doesn't have to report an interest e…

Hi @JonGaltIII
To my original question:
You noted:
Fido has a limited number of etf to choose from plus some iShare options. Their offering seems very limited to me. Fido that is.
I didn't understand your full meaning to represent Fidelity Investme…

Hi Hank,
Yes, some mail travel times are strange for the past year, in particular.
I use 1st class mail, but add "certified" and "request receipt" choices. You can track these too, and also receive a return post card indicating arrive time and a s…

Just this morning, I played my part, attempting to get in touch with those for whom actual communication is not a priority. But of course, what can you expect from their end? They've shown their hand already. I don't really matter to them. No…
Agree with @msf. One needs to verify any form of pension related taxation codes for your filing state. I also agree with verifying RMD calculations.

Hi hank,
Below are the choices (Fidelity) when one has a RMD from a traditional IRA. We'll have to do the RMD's again for 2021.
This process starts with selecting the "transfer" icon that steps you easily through selecting your traditional IRA acco…
Hank. When I had to take the RMD from my IRA in 2019, I set the percentage of Fed. taxes to withhold and did not have any Michigan taxes withheld. I do not recall a statement stating a mandatory withholding for Michigan.
No letters or other signed d…
Hank, yes; I noted about mis-pricing during some time periods for muni bonds vs taxable bonds. I considered several years ago an investment in NHMRX, but other sector investments were performing nicely and the transaction didn't happen. All of my ac…

Kinda tangent. Mentoring of workers/employees has been damaged IMHO. This began after the market melt in 2008. I know and encountered others in the building trades industry who found their areas of work fully disrupted. A few wh…
