@hank : We're in the 2/nd Qter of 2022, any idea when first Qter results would be out ? It might be of interest to see if any of the big holders shed a dollar or two of Amazon.
@CecilJK : thanks for the links. Would like the average age of investor in second link. I'm going to guess 70 +. As the saying goes , different strokes for different folks. With a shorter time, life expectancy, to recapture losses I can see why mos…
@yogibearbull :: How do "generous inflation adjustments" get paid ? Why I'm asking. Vanguard will be rolling their 2015 TRF in the Retirement Fund. I thought about selling or exchanging into another fund , but don't want to lose the "adjustment".

@catch22 : " There are a number individuals here, who I would place against any chosen "advisor", as to quality investing knowledge and opinion. "

For those taking RMD's, one could take $5K more at end of year & have all forwarded to IRS as tax payment. Then it is received back as a refund . I guess tax would be due on the $5K so one would have to fig their tax rate & adjust upward ad…
@msf : More questions ? I take it they were I-bonds ? Were you planing on using them for gifts or do you have another plan for them ?

@Sven : You are correct. I just tried it & perfect via FireFox. I had a pop up & at first I didn't even try clicking on the "dots" thinking I had to start google account. This was "probably a linking issue as I recently updated my old 3G p…

It's the age of the "transfer portal". Name a reason & transfer is on the way. First came the "one & done" . Players getting paid while in college, more than a free ride, is the coming story as it is already in place.
I'd like to see St Pe…
@davfor : I'm wondering if I'm reading you right. Seems as market drops you add to your account to keep 64% in stocks. Or energy & utilities caused your portfolio to stay in the 64% range with one (1) drop to 63%. Now thinking the later guess …
St. Peter : I thought that the team may have a line up of mostly senior, but not the case , only one ! More favorites to fall today !
