davidrmoran : No need to send billing, it's the amount that caught my attention!
#5 @Sven did you happen to see 60 Minutes last night ? Over charging for tools that the armed forces use !! All at tax payer expense ! Armed services hurt to : 100 tanks ordered , can only buy 90 with their allotted dollars.
@Old_Joe : I did 1/2 of RMD last night . I'll be in contact with Vanguard & IRS this morning to make sure your SS gets paid in a timely matter.
Sleep well, Derf
@Old_Joe : What is it that I'm missing ? As I understand it, if you have a brokerage account & sell something the money from the sell is deposited into their bank & from there you need to move it into CD, MM , other equity.
This is in refe…
My question, why not return the lost money at 90cents on the dollar. If people, supposedly very smart individuals, couldn't spread their money around then let them feel the pain also ! Plus the big wigs need to kick in any profit when they sold sto…
@catch22 If you had flashed back a few more years I would have thought you were talking about the delivery of May baskets to a few of the neighbors. No longer seen in my neck of the woods.
Good evening, Derf
@msf " There is a reason why I've written that I don't think there's any place to hide if the Treasury defaults. Not even banks."

I gave them a call as @Old_Joe suggested. I talked with tech support & before remedy was found the call was lost somewhere along the "line". Redialed Schwab & was told I'd get a call back from Techie that was working on my problem in 15-20 m…
@Old_Joe : I agree with you. Not the first time for this BS. Second time usually works, but since last night all I get, " We can't authorize you at this time, try later.
Maybe the Chinese are calling in great numbers ?!
I can only hope they organize their log-in. I'm probably the only one having this problem.
Has anyone moved their GP funds to a new brokerage, and if so was it easy?
Thanks, Derf
@hank : Was the beer in a cooler ? While stationed in Germany it was brought to my "attention" that most Germans drank their beer at room temperature or close to it.
I would agree that from my few trips into town that it was tasty !! Beer made i…
@yogibearbull : Thanks for the info. If buying a five year does one replace the 2 with a five when multiplying ? First thought is NO, probably another formula.
Thanks for all the replies. As of today I'm thinking of taking 1/2 of required RMD & placing after taxes the remaining amount into another T- note of two years.
