While some deep value and/or companies with too much debt may be impacted by some form of Reddit inspired trading; unless the bond market place becomes overwhelmed by bond slayers, I'm not concerned about potential impact; with the exception of po…
Thanks, @bee
A form of the words I've pushed upon folks for a number of years.
Sadly, never many takers, or thinkers. For some, as I've witnessed; they would prefer $70k into an ego version of themselves with a super-duper truck; or similar monies…

I peek at this site periodically, before pillow time.
I'll add this active Global markets futures page. I've posted this prior, but new folks or whomever may find this interesting. You'll note the "green" clock along the right edge indicating open…
Hi @Baseball_Fan
Perhaps the global equity needs to take a rest. We are at 53% equity, tech. and healthcare; positions we've held for some time now. The other 47% is in BAGIX, a plain vanilla, active managed bond fund.
'Course, we always prefer t…

Through year end of 1987, Fidelity had 35 select/sector mutual funds; with several of these beginning life in 1981. Eight of the 35 were added in 1985, and another 12 were added in 1986. …

My write was not well formed; as I was prodding you in jest to offer me a zero interest loan of your money based on your statement: Paying interes…
@Crash
Paying interest is like paying a tax you aren't required to pay.
So, you're stating that you would be willing to lend your money without fee (tax/interest)?
My credit rating is about 20 points from the very top. What is your required pape…
@Derf You try'in to overload an oldtimers brain cells....??? :)

The input thus far is very much appreciated. Additional thoughts are welcomed. FTEC is an excellent choice, too; as we also invest in this etf. @Old_Joe , yes; Ted would state that QQQ is the one. @davidrmoran , yes, perhaps Ted would also suggest t…
Thank you @Observant1 Every little bit of knowledge helps someone.

Hi @Sven
Yes. An original post may be edited, by the author; including changing the category or subject line or body text.
Are you requesting that I change the category, or merely providing information?
I commend the decorum thus far, with comments in this thread.

Your link works fine here, for the older view, too.
NOTE: I clear browser history and cache at least once a day.

Hi Randy,
Still in the same location at M*.
This is the generic quote page at M*, selected for FSMEX.
Select the "portfolio" tab, then scroll down for the last set of data; for "Holdings".
Take care,
