davidrmoran : No need to send billing, it's the amount that caught my attention!
@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 …

@yogibearbull : A speedy recovery to you & others . $530 for treatment sounds cheaper than a day or two in the hospital. Let us know if the cinnamon hots work for you.
@catch22 @Sven @Old_Joe What are your thoughts on reaching out to a longer maturity rate In the near term ? I'm asking as the last time rates were around 3% for 2 years I bought a CD for two years & within a short time rates were headed down…
@hank & @yogibearbull Did either of you happen to read WSJ weekend. Jason Zweig had an article that stated since the end of march highs , only .4% of investors had sold equity if I'm I reading that right. Maybe someone happen upon that articl…
@Rbrt : If you have room at your current tax rate , I'd be doing it, just my thoughts. All your return will not be taxed in Roth ,while those returns will be in a taxable account. Age maybe of concern in doing this.
