TS is VOLATILE lately. (ADR.) Today, 22 May, is dividend payday. Jayzuz, the stock has been whip-sawing for days. I'm not buying. My cost basis is crazy-low compared to more recent share price. It's brutal lately, the ups and downs. I've seen a $40 …
EVA Air. (Taiwanese.)
Many years ago. Late getting into Manila from Cebu. Long story. And Manila is the worst airport in the world, by the way. My ticket was with China (Taiwan) Air, with a stop in Taipei. But the next one out, from Manila, was not …
Right outa school, my youngest brother was hired by State of Massachusetts to be a traveling Bank Examiner. He was hired away from that job to work at a particular bank in western Massachusetts. I think I heard a report on PBS Newshour just a couple…
Relentlessly scouring the investible world for something. Bell Canada BCE is way-undervalued, per M* at -24% disc. HQ in Verdun-Montreal. Of course the geniuses at Schwab will not allow div. reinvestment. But the share price has dropped to the point…
Thanks, guys. @Mark how the hell did you find the NAV in order to compare it to share price??? I've looked! @davfor

Found the chart which confirms what you told me. But I can find no actual NUMBERS. Anyhow, I'm gla…
Pretty nuts. Basically, you're saving the $$$ for your heirs or maybe even for THEIR heirs. Like a long-term annuity, but you see zero benefit, yourself.
Customer "Service" EVERYWHERE is..... an abortion. Management wants it that way. You need something? Please do our work for us, on the website. But first, learn how to read the Webmaster's mind in order to find the proper link. Then, guess at which …
They have repeatedly already laughed in the face of remedial requirements imposed on them. Why would they start now? Some people need to be replaced. Those same people need to GO TO JAIL.
Hee hee hee hee hee hee. LOL.
Ya, I'm seeing many references recently to maxed-out credit cards. And most consumers are not wealthy. (Hell, most consumers should be deemed to be too stupid to even be allowed to VOTE!) What would happen to the eco…
@Crash
But there's a wall around wifey's Trad IRA.
What does this mean?
Hello, @catch22.
There are a few angles going on. Neither of us has any earned income. Not officially, I mean. I don't think we are even eligible to put anything more into eith…
SWVXX: Thanks, @MikeM. I recall your previous, there. I'm just choosing the security of the MMKT fund which is focused on Treasuries and the like. Good information for me in your post. Thank you.
With respect to Schwab IRAs why not just transfer a small amount of whatever's there now to a new MMKT account within the IRA? In fact both of our IRAs consist, at the moment, of nothing but MMKT accounts currently paying about 5%. And of course tho…
Week-end is here. Still no execution on the Buy Limit Order. EPRT. I'm swimming against the current. Methinks I'll cancel the Order and take the cash I've held back to cover the trade, and just put it in SNVXX to earn over 5% for me, until there is …
Alternatively, you can always sell something worth $0.87 in your account that does not have a transaction fee and then invest the $0.13 + $0.87 = $1 in the chosen fund...
Giggle. I see what you mean. Is it worth my time? Will they PERMIT an .87 cent…
I bit the bullet and bought into an MLP NOT in my IRA. I don't like waiting for the k-1, but the stock is worth the "hassle." The company lets you sign-in to access the k-1 before it comes in the mail. THIS year, the k-1 came atrociously late via th…
Difficult to stay patient sitting on an unfilled Limit Buy Order when Mr. Market is rising and rising..... But it cannot go on forever upward in a straight line. Behavioral Economics. Beware of FOMO.
Car insurance from Yahoo Finance. Dated 15 May, '24:
I had an ins. agent back East who went the extra mile. A true saint, a stand-up mensch.
I know of no others like him. Have not heard of any others like him. Here's an article written as an apolog…
@Old_Joe - not a good look on USAA who state their military friendliness as a come on.
"Military-friendly
We understand military life is unique. That’s why we offer products and services with the unique needs of the military community in mind."

All of these thoughts are true and belong in a useful matrix which should be consulted before deciding to buy. Another message board features a woman (retired) who insists that her holdings show pristine balance sheets and a div. yield of at least 3…
...just another retail-oriented investing news site no different than anyone else.
No, it's worse than that. Closing prices take forever to update at the end of the day. They like to rehash old stuff, just with a bit of a change or addition.
Google…
Agreed, sadly. A dreadful state of affairs. Those voters are just too dumb, too insulated, too brainwashed to see reality.
At least it can be said that about half of voters are not so profoundly screwed-up. At least they have a head on their shoul…
That sums it up perfectly. Yes, if he wins again, this country will be a s-hole country, instantly, ipso facto.
