Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
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.

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.

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.

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.
