Limit Order on EPRT is still open. But I'm not going to chase it. Let the price come down to where I want it. My chosen price-point is not radically low. In other news: FALN pays today. :)
For BA: Just another brick in the wall. One thing after another. After another. Ya, rockets are complicated. Oxygen relief valve. Yes, sounds dangerous.
Reminds me of Apollo I, but after that horrible fire, NASA stopped using a pure oxygen atmosp…
BA is just sinking like a stone. It needs to be eviscerated and restarted with a whole new leadership AND employees who do not falsify records! @BaluBalu
This "space stuff" fascinates me. I was interested to see that the Space Shuttles' liftoff thrust is a bit more powerful, in relative terms, even than the Saturn V, which brought men to the Moon in July of 1969. But the Shuttles used multiple, small…
Almost 4x as much as the Index in Yoots. And yoots will never be a home run play. Over 8% of portfolio in Yoots. Almost 11% in Financials. (My own portf holds much more in Financials.) Financials, we are told, will break-out and flourish when rates…

Got a limit order in that I hope will execute soon.
I do not like seeing the 9.5% short of float. That's too high.
Once it's in the ba…
Cautionary remark is noted. An interesting conversation in this thread. Taylor Swift is smart enough to play with CEFs. I've moved on. I was in IRL in the '90s, and came away with a small profit. That fund just closed within the past year.
PRFDX. TRP Equity-Income. I bought-in primarily because my stake in PRWCX by itself was getting so large. Yes, this camper is a happy one, re: PRFDX's performance. I've owned it for a year or two. Quarterly dividends, but they are not shooting the l…
Crash. Are you just messing with us when you ask obvious questions? If you found the Select List it defines itself and explains how funds make the list. “Oh Goodie!”
No, not messing with you. I found ONE fund which happens to be on the Select List…
A-ha!
"The investment seeks total return. The adviser utilizes two strategies and under normal circumstances expects to invest approximately 50% of its total assets in each strategy. One strategy focuses on investments in commodity-linked derivati…
Limit order went through on PSTL (sell.) At a -6.39% loss. It stung for half of a moment. It feels like a burden is lifted. I'll put a bit of the proceeds in gummint MM SNVXX and sit on the rest of it, waiting for a DOWN day. Everything is pretty mu…
Small baby steps, gummint money fund

@Crash, this may be a dumb question, but are you taking these small baby steps from the sweep account to the MM account? Or is this new money you are adding to your Schwab account. Don't want to state the obvio…
Continuing to add to MM position at Schwab with a 5.03% yield. It's not a rate that's locked-in as with a CD, but I like the ride, so far. Small baby steps, gummint money fund.
Crash,
If a foreign country doesn't have a tax agreement with the U.S., it will withold a percentage of a U.S. investor's foreign dividends. This is different than a brokerage imposing fees for ADR / foreign security dividends.
Yes, understood. :)
ADR? Yes, In my experience. TRP took 25% of a dividend, but the explanation was that it was withheld "at the source." Meaning the Norway Tax Authority. b>NHYDY. Yes, a partial or full refund was available. But you'll have to register with the Ta…
Politicians.
Groucho on politics:
"Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies."
Finally, finally:
Took the rollover check from Bruce BRUFX which arrived on Saturday, and put it into wifey's IRA at Schwab. Buying shares with the entire amount in WBALX. Classified as a conservative balanced fund. Right now, there's a tiny bit mor…
Appreciate the input, all. Now I have homework to do on "Trailing Stop." @MikeM.
Another I'm watching closely is TS. It was on fire and rising. Lately, it's falling like a stone. What I read says there is heightened competition in North America. So…
Yes, this particular one is indeed a Limit Order to SELL. So the designated price is rather higher than the current price. Might not be filled for quite a while. I did the order on the website. How can they read to me on the WEBSITE? (yogi.)
...While the timeline continues to be stretched further and further. Shit, he'll be dead before he ends up in a matching Orange monkey costume, in the place where he belongs. LOCK HIM UP!
I’m just trying to get a handle on this Pecker fella. Is he related to the guy that picked the pickled peppers?
I think SNL will be live tomorrow night. Should be a hoot.
Hell, ya!
