@Crash It's about like the purchase of a new or used vehicle. It takes awhile to figure out all the bells & whistles. Does BRUFX show on account holdings page ? If so just click on it. I realize you're new to Schwab , & with that said be gl…
@msf "I brought in a ton of money this year as I continue to consolidate holdings."
Coinage, you're talking about. How many $1 bills to make a ton ?
I couldn't resist, Derf

For the record. A few years back I did two direct rollovers. One 401 k going to Schwab & one to Vanguard. Oops one came as a check to me. Checked the amount of the check against 401-k account. No with holdings. I didn't sign the check , but wro…
I have a insurance company that was using the wrong address also. The second time this happen ,annual renewal, the problem was found & fixed. It seems former employee had a "problem" and was not updating all address changes.

@msf : " The issue I have with Schwab's fee is that it applies to every purchase. I'm willing to pay the 49.95 basis point charge ($49.95 on $10K) one time to get access to an institutional share class of some fund that saves me 25 basis points per …
@stillers Your last sentence peaked my interest. " Those iconic words of his are actually ringing in my ear as this weekend I am trying to determine if, in addition to recently shaving some FSELX profits, I shouldn't also be nudging my way to the e…
@Level5 : Any reason why you're making the move at this time ? Thanks for posting as I'll begin to keep an eye on both for a comparison. I hold a small piece of PRCFX & about 7 times that amount in VWIAX.
@hank From what I read in WSJ today, ESPN will also be aloud to stand alone. Will FOX & FOX1 both be included in the bundle ? No more questions here until the agreement gets done.
I wish shopping for networks was like going to the super marke…
@ hank : You have the NBA package, great ! I take it Detroit has a blackout on home games. To me that's BS ! From time to time I get hit with a blackout game , but nothing lately.
What I'm seeing is networks coming in & buying out certain gam…
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…
@catch22 : I'm a yearly contributor to MFO. I also took a look at 3 month yield & it appears flat to DOWN, where as yield for 21 day is UP ! That's why I made comment, timing is everything. Sometimes you have to read between the lines I compose …

I never owned either.
Does anyone remember why RSIVX lost quite a bit more than OSTIX during the Covid crash? What about RSIVX that prevented it from taking necessary actions to lose …
@MikeM Thanks for the comment. Watching Bills pass Steelers.
It was a pleasant surprise watching Packers kick the Cowboys around the field so easily.
Stay warm, Derf
@yogibearbull Thanks for reply. A few years back I had a margin charge! I called the rep & told him I had no margin account, he said he'd look into it. A day or two later & charge disappeared. Operator error I guess.
