My son just opened TRP acct. Everything went smoothly until attempting to link his credit union acct with TRP.
Was he trying to link his CU account to TRP (i.e. have the TRP account recognize the CU account), or was he trying to link TRP to his CU …
My son just opened TRP acct. Everything went smoothly until attempting to link his credit union acct with TRP. Sorry, we are unable.... Feces.
He STILL refuses to get a credit card. Prefers cash and debit card. Dunno if that factors in.

Thanks, @Mark. I'll read that one later in the day.

No, not that particular one. I was at a physical rehab hosp 3 years ago. Scumbag criminal pig hackers breached the files. I was offered ONE year protection with IDX out of Portland. There have not been any Alerts. Hackers: The slimiest of criminal c…

@Crash I'm wondering how many retirement accounts are opened as T-IRA these days, versus a Roth IRA.
Just thinking out loud and late into the night.
Yes, I explained to him the difference between T and Roth. He wants the tax break. :) His career …

Selling TS oil drilling pipe-maker. Tired of red ink. Stop the bleeding. Dog. Loser. Proceeds go to WCPNX. Had my eye on it for quite a while. That will be added to.
EDIT TO ADD: Sold FALN at tiny profit. Adding it into WCPNX
reduced rates: gummint can spend less buying back its behemoth debt, right? A dollar that's TOO strong vs. other currencies would be a problem. But we are a world away from THAT right now. Universal tariffs on imports is a yucky idea. Ever-expanding…
Lucky you, @larryB. I've experienced San Felipe in northern Baja. Amazing extreme tides, like the Bay of Fundy. Low tide, fishing and pleasure boats are sitting on dry ground, way out there!
Yup.
I might have mentioned before on the Board here: the musician/painter (a la Joni Mitchell) named Dan Bern (Jewish) formed his first band many years ago and with tongue-in-cheek, called it "The International Jewish Banking Conspiracy." I have …
Bad actors everywhere are using social media to play with facts, invent "alternative facts" and poison the environment. Brave New World. If he shuts down in Brazil, there's one less tool for the criminal scum-lickers to use. A backhanded blessing.

To me, there's nothing to write home about. HY yields at lowest now, YTD? That's the assertion. But my junk stuff defies that claim... And share prices have slowly crept upward this week, too.

@hank Be very leery of those FV ratings on stocks offered up by different sources. My own experience says they don’t know what they’re talking about. I believe in this case they were stuck in some kind of ”time warp”. Because small caps has suffered…
A Subway, across from the movie theater. You stand. And wait. If you're unlucky enough to get caught behind 14 policemen on their break. Finally, you get your sub. You carry it out to a table in the big, wide-open hall. Tip? No. Pay the workers what…
