Had TRP accounts for 25 years...the site sucks!!! Way harder to research and navigate that site than Fidelity!!! Glad I made that move!!! Consolidation is big help!
Glad your experience was what it was.
My experience of Fidelity's website is: Run …
Beat me by two minutes. Was busy compiling info, didn't know that you had posted before me.

+1.
Of course, he vows to appeal. But can he win on appeal? Not likely, eh? They'd have to prove a legal defect in the Prosecution's case, or mismanagemen…
No more NHYDY Norsk Hydro. It was up today while a lotta other stuff was down. So I cashed out and dumped the proceeds into the PRTXX MM. Maybe I'll get smart. Keep some legal tender handy in order to buy low, sell high. My loss was $117.65, TRP tel…
A321XLR: "11 hour routes." Reminds me of the Hawaiian Air (soon under Alaska Air auspices?) 11.5 hour flight from Boston to Honolulu, nonstop. The trip in the other direction is not quite so long: jet stream cooperation, generally speaking. Long tim…
Unconscionable, what TRP has put you through. All my stuff is still with TRP, apart from BRUFX. Leaves a bad feeling. Scumpig moron doink-heads in charge there, at TRP.
This is what happens when you don't take responsibility for your own stuff and instead, you farm-out stuff to a sub-contractor. More risks of miscommunication. Less accountability. Putting lives in danger. "It's not our fault, it's their fault." But…
I should have listened - any interaction with TRP is fraught with peril, even moving assets into TRP.
I was just rearranging accounts, and it seemed to make sense to consolidate my TRP fund shares there to keep free M* access. At least until M* re…
Only visa and amex get paid via transfer internally from the checking acct. to pay the credit card balances. Everything else is done by check. Call me old fashioned. When appropriate, "Deposit Only" gets written on the check. Never make a check to "…
Can you imagine a ”State Dinner” at the White House held to honor the January 6th insurrectionists (after being pardoned) who attacked the Capital and sought to physically harm the Vice President and Speaker of the House?
Yes - Orwell’s 1984 is f…
Proofread much? ENGLISH, much?
"...It’s a surprising occurrence. The airline involved was Delta Air Lines, which Delta didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment..."
All my stuff combined at the moment is down -0.27% since Jan. 1, '24. (I'm accounting for the January PARTIAL chunk taken from the IRA. I've not taken the full shot yet.)
Dumbing down. Whoa. Imbeciles in charge everywhere, if we're not careful. I went to school in Manchester, for 2 years. First 2 years undergrad. Spent a lot of it drunk. That was '72-'74. St. Anselm College. You've seen the name in the polls, and it'…
BRUFX= 32% "cash" according to Mooplestar. That's a lot of uncommitted money. Definitely a laggard in '23. And laggard YTD in '24, too. If this keeps up, it'll be time to switch. This fund is not doing what it had been doing for us.....
Many good points already made. Here's my ten cents worth. Self-directed investing is like running a small business out of the home. It's financial reason for existing is to benefit the household. When I rented out properties I owned, I kept the …
Well... If I required of myself (and spouse) that we set aside and grow a segregated bucket full of money sufficient to cover 3 to 5 years' of expenses, I'd never be able to invest, period. So that whole bucket-stuff matters not to me, one iota. The…
Still keeping an eye on ASC Ardmore Shipping out of Bermuda. RSI is high. Better to wait. Hoping to find it under $15 sometime soon.
The Red Sea attacks make things difficult. On the other hand, the situation offers maritime shippers the perfect ex…
They also offered to have me call. 312 Area Code, Chicago. No doubt, I'd waste a ton of time on that, too. No, thanks. What I have run into with them is consistent with all companies and corporations today: zero actual communication. Add to that, wh…
@Ben- that's actually Shift+Command+4 for that sort of thing. I use that all the time.
@Crash- you know that we are in close agreement on the really important stuff, but sometimes you drive me crazy. :)
:)
The issue by now is not screenshots, or wh…
Which fund or stock ticker?
I've noticed for months and months, the YTD performance numbers at the bottom-right in the X-Ray tool has stale numbers for some of my holdings. I refer to the actual listing of the holdings in one's portfolio, underneath…
@Old_Joe
You make your case convincingly. And yes, I've noticed the same things. The Repugnant Insurgency--- going back to uncle Ronny Ray-guns, Gingrich the Newt and Ralph the Reed--- began a process of eroding any sense of common ground in the op…
I use both for different reasons. Large liquid ETFs are okay whereas thinly traded ones can be volatile. Not everyone has a $1M to get into PIMIX, but Vanguard customers can get in with $25K. PLYD has a reasonable daily volume (189K) and it can be p…
Well, are you investing long-term, or trading? That might affect the response given. I am thinking of @Junkster re: the name you can't remember. Is it him?
Of course.
I have enough trouble keeping equity risk in check w/o adding to my concerns wit…
Maybe if we trade a lot we can rattle the market’s higher? :)
Took a swig of PYLD this morning. Hope it doesn’t turn into “a pile” of something else …
Just a lateral move from another fine, but less adventuresome, bond fund.
“… signifying …

Distressing to see all the red ink. Clearly, the Market was running ahead of it self.
@hank yes, my Aluminum producer is getting clobbered--- on top of a big charge at the end of last year. NHYDY Norsk Hydro. Wanting to unload it. Now is surely not…
Ah Iowans and republicans in general. If they had any principals or moral integrity they wouldn't have voted for any of those candidates. Baffles me to no end.
+1. I'll never understand that. Party before country. Party before ethics. Cripes.
I personally shoveled a ton of Buffalo region snow for the 5 years or so I lived in Ellicottville. Ski resort town. Southern Tier, it's called. Enough for a lifetime. The lower spine surgery in 2021 relieved the pain from the damage done, shoveling …
This investor will be 70, come July. I bought (junk) bond funds at just the wrong time, at the start of '22. I've been riding them DOWN, with fatter yields, but the value sank. Now they are doing better in anticipation of rate cuts. But I'm not wan…
