I surely have better use of my time and not wasting electrons that are about to travel the communications path from my house to the MFO server. However, the thread is almost a SNL pre-write skit unto itself.

Hi hank and @Old_Joe
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…
Good Evening, Apologizes for my duplicate post regarding the May commentary. Based on our time stamps, I was reading the commentary and posted without looking at any new posts.

An investment advisors dream proposal for a new client at this time. To the potential client, "if one had only purchased at or near the bottom of a particular sector last March or April."

Thought about clicking the link; but too many other chores on my list.
It is asking too much for a snippet overview of a link??? A gracious and polite consideration, IMHO; by a poster.
Agree, yes; money is what will speak the loudest with these type of folks. The outright lies are another story; but dollar kill them into the ground of poverty. Ruin and wreck their sorry arse to "no where land". Yes, @hank ; criminal is in this mix…

Most years, my (private) pension fund likes to boast about how well its investments are doing. And most years, we get a lousy 2% raise.
Point 1. You have a pension with a COLA. Really Cool.
Point 2. Y…

Hi @Observant1
Thank you for the info. I run VPN on the laptop. This does cause problems with some sites. When I place FBALX into the search, the return info is for FPURX; and then stated that if I want a full data report, that I must subscribe.
Yes, this is Turkish crypto founder; but.....

I could even withdraw from the IRA and throw it in the brokerage "sweep" account.

@Derf I presume you're writing about 2019 RMD, as 2020 did not require a RMD via Cares Act.
Thank you again Lynn, for your tremendous efforts.

I recall jp morgan and other big banks forecasting treasury rates for the 10 year going to 5% in 2010-2012 (more or less). Nope, they didn't get that right.............
The big kids get fooled, too; with how smart they think they may be.
Thank you @carew388
I read David's write and posted just prior to traveling. I should have waited until returning home. I'll ponder the 65 years of history and markets as to how relative this is to the dynamic markets in which we play.
I recently found this data site, which presents data in a different visual form and with some different types of data, than other sites. This link is for a particular county in Michigan. You will see the Michigan county map on the right. Click the c…
Hi @bee and @hank
We've not held FRIFX for several years, but it remains an interesting holding within "its" real estate category.
The fund used to be a mix of equity, HY bonds, preferreds and convertibles.
I was writing more to the availability of very decent used furniture at a yard sale or a non-profit thrift store, as inter-state shipping costs are very expensive. I know several people who have moved from Michigan and decided it was best to not shi…
@hank
Not all yard sale items/non-profit stores are junk or bad; but folks become tired of whatever and other items they can not or do not want to ship to a new home location. Van line services are very expensive. Keep an eye to your area as soon as…
Hi @Old_Joe
Thank you for your memories and pics. I'm sure, like you; when I review some of the sites I've been/lives, it is hard to believe that damn, that was a long time ago already. These are the circumstances that help build a persons character…

Mesquite. I remember this, too; but, December, 1989. The story and short video are from 2019. We were frequent visitors to Keweenaw for many years. Time goes by too fast, eh???

I forgot to note several accelerated etf offerings open, APRIL 1. Not that I have ever discovered anything twitchy with that particular date.
