davidrmoran : No need to send billing, it's the amount that caught my attention!
Debt card is at Schwab & I try to carry less than $1k in account. It seems to me I once paid my CC bill twice. That caused Charles to withdraw cash from individual account to cover the auto pay. So if this was a "fraudulent withdrawal", would Sc…
@BenWP : Just a suggestion. If tire wear is the problem , go to a shop that specialize in alignment. Many years back I had problem with tire wear on my Ford truck. I was told it was with in specs at dealership. With that I took it to alignment spec…
@hank : " Car dealers used to have a bad reputation." They still have ,my opinion.
Gal pal went to pick up new vehicle & when she went for test drive I happen to take a peek at billing left on desk. Dealer applied pricing, Nitrogen $495 !! Proba…
FWIW Instead of a cash bucket, why not take out a second mortgage, if you have a home. Yes you pay interest, but that bucket would be invested in the market somewhere hopefully making money went Mr Market turns up. Maybe second mortgage should be ca…

@MikeM Thanks for the comment. Watching Bills pass Steelers.

@yogibearbull : I recently noted that after two buys in to two different funds my account shows , marginable xxx amount & non marginable xzx amount. I have no margin account. Could you tell me what they're (Schwab) trying to tell me ?

@Old_Joe The updated photo doesn't show the print that was include with WSJ photo on page A2 Wed. This told how the door was installed. I hope this is of some help. If you have posted photo with verbal explanation , I haven't found it.

Heard comment that had the door left the plane at a much higher altitude , results may have turned in a second, & not for the better ! This happen at 17,000 ft. & believe they can "cruise" up to 37,000 ft.. I have no idea as to average flig…
