davidrmoran : No need to send billing, it's the amount that caught my attention!
@Sven : I checked back on that thread & it was going okay until the last 2 or 3 comments. I'll also take a peek at the 3 hot funds. Probably just fade away , me, not the funds.
@hank : (What to consider now) That was the headline from Schwab, not a question from me. As far as Bloomberg goes I've been catching some of it's commentary lately. I don't have it at home , but it appears where we're staying at till the middle of …
@Puddnhead : Just wondering if you sold on Monday ? Looking to take RMD as a CD matured & have the cash to get it done.
How is your best friend doing ?
Later, Derf
The why (Y) question. I had plenty when I started my Plumbing apprenticeship many years ago. As for starting to shave in the same spot, I don't fit the question.
Why, Derf
@Investor Your last sentence, " In investing, perfection is the enemy of good enough returns. " What would you consider, good enough return, 5% , 10% & in what time space ? I'm sure age of investor would have something to be considered.

I'll take last weeks returns anytime !! I happen to look at Vanguards monthly statement & much to my surprise I found three funds I hold in taxable account to still be lacking a few $$$ from where they were at the beginning of Oct. !

+1 @davidrmoran "trying to hit singles as I get older, have puhlenty of losses prior from not doing that, many of which I still hold"Same with the loses here !!
@davidrmoran : Did you sell them already ? If so then you did make a few K otherwise just a paper gain for the time being. Here today gone tomorrow, as the old saying goes.
Dipped twice two much, Derf
David, it seems to me there is a leak somewhere. Someone call a plumber ! On a more serious side I do recall Old Man River running high to very high in the spring. On the other hand I can't recall many years where the water level dropped so low ! I…
@stillers : "
I've netted anywhere from a % or 2 to upwards of 4%-5% extra proceeds over the years. For example, one BUY I still have the detail on shows I paid $47,739 (priced at 92.931) for a $50,000 CD for an effective Discount of 4.52%. Yeah, af…
@stillers : Thanks for the info. Would you mind commenting more on what would be a good buy on the secondary market & how to figure out what one's profit would be.
Thanks for your time, Derf
@O_J ; I see I didn't go into enough detail as is my MO. Flag the POLITICAL BS !! Let the thread stand.
Relax All, Derf
Added, it appears comments can be flagged.
As of 6:45 CDT accounts at Schwab particular Grandeur Peaks seem to be back to normal. GPROX has the right ticker, but no cost bases or gain/lose . Only N.A.
Again thanks to @TheShadow, Derf
@hank : You're correct about about the speed test it's low here, where I'm staying. Also it seems the internet has a per chance of disappearing.
After internet returned this morning , good to go this morning.

@hank : Thank you for all the info. Food to think about. When the wheel starts to go around , I can live with that. It's when the picture locks up & I have to reboot the TV connection , which has the fire stick, that's the problem . We'll see …
@yogibearbull ; Are you kidding me !!?? "That is lot of backward-ratio-adjustments in adjusted-prices. " I was under the impression adjusted prices took place on a day to day pricing. No looking back BS. Think I'll sell my equity holdings &…

Big Ten has gone to Peacock for subscription to some of their games. I was wondering if other conferences have gone in this direction ? $8.00 a month , cancel anytime . Just more BS to work through !! Local Friday fish fry has gone up a $1 over the …
