davidrmoran : No need to send billing, it's the amount that caught my attention!
Issue resolved : Yesterday a purchase I made looked like another secondary buy. As I decided to call VG & see if I was loosing it or not. It turns out the purchases were from Treasury on a re-issue . A very nice lady worked me through the proc…
@Mark ; I received this via E-mail from my Bro. I'll see if he can give me the source & if reliable I'll add a few more tid bits.
Added : I checked first three (facts) via internet, & more that one article popped up on the three searches.
For your info;

Maybe she is trying to say, the dividends were used to buy more shares & as of recent movement in the markets they show the buys as negative. Just my two cents.
Back to the topic ! Bought CD @ Chucks' place for 1 year, 4.7% . I didn't see that much of an increase to go farther (?) out. I have one maturing tomorrow so just added a bit to the old CD.

@FD1000 "Treasuries are better, they pay more than CD and you don't pay Fed taxes in a taxable account." Are you sure about that, I thought it was State tax exempt.?
@Old_Joe : Good idea on your latest purchase, think I'll see what they have for Android.
Time to hit the dock & see if the fish are biting.
Have a good day, Derf
@Old_Joe : I'm late to the punch, sorry about that. I would have sent you to your local library for an edition of I-phones for dummies. I picked up one for Android phone

@sma3 : Thanks for that reply. It would be of interest, to see how much leeway the SEC will give MF's before the hammer is applied. I'm going to tag a few contributors & see if they can add any info.
@msf - @hank - @LewisBraham _ @Junkster :…
@LewisBraham - @yogibearbull : Thanks for you're replies. After rereading sma3 I understand what he was trying to tell me. For some reason I thought he sold some or all of that fund & then they came back later to claim some of the sale price …
@sma3 : " I haven't trusted these guys for several years since they retroactively changed the price of a fund I sold a week or two later, in their favor "

Not to long ago Schwab billed me for using margin. I don't maintain a margin account, . also I…

Yes or No, Derf
The retail world is built on , things going on sale, & free ! Buy one & get the second at half price ! How about the going out of business sale , only to pop back in business later.
@Observant1 : Very odd in deed . Seems to me someone wants your business ?
Yes my trade went through with Firefox, confirmation today.
Appears to be pop - up ad.
Added: Did you convert to a brokerage account with them?
@Observant1 : I'm using Firefox & currently buying T-bill. You're probably right about the optimized for.
Have a good one, Derf
