@Observant,
That's what I did using the funds I remembered from when I owned them at Fidelity over 10-yrs ago. I tried DODGX, DODFX and DODBX. I'll try again at a later time.
Curious about that $100 TF at Fidelity I went searching at Fidelity for D&C funds.Of their 8900+ MF's in their data base they show NONE. Are they only available through an advisor? How would an interested party even have access if they wanted to?
Well Warren Buffett suggests two funds as we all know, an S&P500 index fund and another of short term Treasury bonds. If you think Wellington has an advantage then go with them. I have never entertained the idea of a one fund portfolio except fo…
Yeah the current coffee trail ob Brazil of 50% I'm fairly certain isn't helping matters. However since most of the coffee I buy has its origins in Sumatra, Costa Rica, El Salvador or Guatemala I haven't seen the pricing that you describe. Yet.
I'm always curious when fund companies reopen closed funds. They rarely if ever provide a reason for that decision. Knowing that do you think that they do so because of large outflows, or because of market investing sentiment changes that will make …
How can you expect 47 to do anything for Ukraine when he doesn't give a hill of beans for most US citizens, not even those who voted for him? No ethics, no conscious, no character, no clue is he.
Guilty as charged but it's a struggle to break the habit of caring for family members at my own expense. To be fair they don't ask for anything but it is satisfying to assist them when I know they are struggling. I do try to find a balance as best a…

Fidelity Select Defense & Aerospace FSDAX appears to be the big dog in the OEF world, up 37.7% YTD but with only 6.3% in non-US equity.

If you're a puppet haven't you given up whatever prestige or respectability you might have had? I'm guessing they all just figured Powell would rollover like they all did while also forgetting that he is just one vote of many.
Inflation at the Home Depot paint department today. They no longer hand out a free stirring stick or two when purchasing a gallon of paint. Good thing I live in the woods with a ready supply of them.
This quasi-crime increase must be rforno creating massive good trouble. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see the guard at all demonstrations opposing this administration and/or its policies. Otherwise the DC police will be expected to handle it.
@rforno - same. Works well with single equities, not so much with CEF's.
@hank - my equity CEF's have pretty much been a mixed bag of going nowhere in comparison to everyday ETF's. CPZ has been a standout so far and I hold nothing else like it. AIO…
Saw a quip today, don't rightly remember where but possibly SA which stated that institutional investors are selling in the afternoon what the retail investors are buying in the morning. Anyone else noticing this?
"The 'hot' item now is that that the 'old' COVID vaccine has caused 20 million deaths; supposedly from cardiac problems."
OK, so I checked. This article comes from the CDC.
Assessment of Risk for Sudden Cardiac Death Among Adolescents and Young A…
"In announcing his decision, Kennedy claimed the COVID-19 vaccines were unsafe, ineffective, helped drive the evolution of the virus and could not keep up with new mutations.

@Ben - In the time that you have owned GRID & PAVE how satisfied have you been with their performance? I've been tracking both since the end of 2024 but I put my money into UTES. I'm looking to spread out a bit. Thank you.
All true DT & DrV. I think one always knew that the data was likely to be revised up the road but at least it wasn't made up or make believe nonsense. Not no more.
