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,

Hi @BenWP
We played the MM game for about 1 year in the mid-80's. At the time, NY state had usury law limits of 12% for a personal loan/line of credit. We processed such a loan and invested the money in a MM account in Michigan. We didn't make a pil…
Hi @chip
Thank you for that info. I would think a headset microphone would be best with using a laptop and Office365 for voice clarity and reduction of background noise.

HI @Old_Joe
Still hiatus for the most part.
The habit for some of the long timers here was to use the OT category for a "community bulletin board", too; to help and share for this type of question.
I had always used the "recent discussions" to …
@hank I missed any notification that "OT" was open again. But, I selected the category first as a test and then wondered were it went. Didn't look don't the list to discover that it had indeed posted. Anna was my guide for this. I'll place this …
Hi @Anna
Okay..............I did not go to check that category location. My habit of using "Recent Discussions", which used to include Off Topic discussions took me down the wrong path.
Thank you.
Don't know folks................this thread was fine at 8:40 am, Saturday with a reply from @hank and I replied to him and posted. I also updated the subject line to more properly reflect the question. Gone now............
Perhaps nothing not direct…
Hi @hank
Thank you for your thoughts. This software would be used with a Windows PC. I was pleased with how well this type of program performed 20+ years ago. Yes, one had to teach the software as to the tones and sounds of an individual voice; but …
@hank
I didn't mean to imply a longer term draw down for the fund in question, but that this fund reacted as did most bond funds during the "everything" melt in March, until the FED arrived.
We continue to maintain our largest bond holding of the p…
Hi @hank
TMSRX NAV on March 3 = 9.87, NAV on March 19 = 9.00.

As always, depends where the monies are invested, eh? Just a look with a few choices below. Most bonds are doing okay for the year, in spite of weakness since early September. With the equity markets whack this past week, AAA bonds did not…
Hi @shipwreckedandalone
Thank you for your time with the Stockcharts "how to".
I have used and posted here from Stockcharts for a number of years. Is it the only tool in my shed of information?....NO; but I use some of the very basic information …
Hi @Old_Joe
I find this at Stockcharts for the two you mentioned. Placing a cursor at 9-30 date (on chart lines) shows a virtual tie for YTD at +4.12 and +4.13%.
You may also right click onto the slider below the chart (showing 210 days) and select…
For VWINX, I find M* performance, YTD at 1.71%; at Stockcharts = 1.70% at 5:40pm, Oct. 29.
NOTE: I'm using M* without an account/sign in. Never had a subscription.

You noted: Re-investing a withdrawal from T-IRA
Curious, as I don't understand.
Why is there a withdrawal from a T-IRA and then start a new investment in a taxable account, regardless of where you want to invest this money?
Nikola Tesla changed all the early theories about electron flows and AC electricity.
Mr. Thomas Edison and friends were attempting to figure how to move "dc" electricity throughout a community for electric lighting. A very costly proposition at th…

The first 3 funds in the below chart are from your note. I've added FBALX because of personal bias and BRUFX is added, as it was mentioned. FPURX is a decent fund, but not charted; as it and FBALX run very close over the long term. As th…

For total return, I presume a fund distribution for purposes of the chart performance is in the form of reinvesting the distribution back into the purchase of shares of the particular investment. We personally always have a fund/holding roll a…
@Derf
While Yahoo offers some good data information, I wouldn't reply on their performance information with the consideration that this data appears to be NAV pricing and doesn't include distributions.
TR PRICE indicates +.47% YTD, M*, +.42% and st…

bonds found some "lovers" this past week
This week, well; the "love" is a bit on the edge. A bit twitchy in some sectors, overpriced perhaps; not unlike sectors in equity. Whata-ya-gonna-do ???
In the "old days" one could hav…

First. Nice to read about the cross-section of places folks here have visited and/or want to visit. Many of our road trips starting the early '80's found us in some bigger cities by chance; but mostly the "back roads and small towns". So many great …
