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.
@Crash - for example let's say that Stock X has a value of $10 and holds that value up to the ex-date. It also pays a dividend of $0.50. (I'm ignoring all the scenarios of capital gains/losses from selling etc., etc. in this example.)
On the ex-dat…
@Crash - you'll have to explain to me the logic of holding on until you collect the divie. If you sell before it's paid you will have in essence collected the divie. Also, a lot of dividend paying equities seem to ramp up in the days prior to the ex…
I can confirm what @hank mentioned above. I use the function to compare MF's to ETF's as he does. To be honest I don't use many MF's at all any more but I've held on to a couple of long term winners.
I really enjoy these weekly posts. Thank you for continuing to post them. I'm going to start paying closer attention to "7) Reversion to the Meme" on the expectation of new entries.
From another discussion board:
"Want to hear something really crazy about this: "36 million earnout shares which may be earned by Trump based on the performance of DJT's shares of common stock". The shares have already been earned because the calcu…
Great! If that's true and he times it in his always perfect ways maybe he'll be able to add another felony to his list.
"Under federal law, the crime of Securities Fraud is a Class C felony, punishable by up to twenty years in prison, three years o…
Is it just me @Crash or does everything that you touch seem to turn into a cluster**k of phenomenal proportions? Thank you for bringing joy and laughs to the board.
@Devo - thank you for the articles, informative and interesting.
@YBB - It might just all depend one's familiarity and acumen in dealing with all matters re:options. I sometimes feel like I get it and then all the circuits seem to smoke all at once…
@Baseball_Fan said: ”illegal invaders begging in front of many stores in some of the most exclusive neighborhoods in the country”.
I’m absolutely astounded at the wealth disparity in this country. By all accounts it is growing. You do not need to …
"I am surprised SPDR is able to direct flows into the higher ER SPY while they have >75% cheaper SPLG."
Just a guess but that may be due to the fact that many investors of all sizes find or perceive SPY to be more liquid or tradeable.
I'm trying to come up with a candidate to take on that Boeing task with all of the pending lawsuits, investigations and what not goings on. It'll be interesting to see who they pull out of the hat.
I used yesterday's downdraft to add to SPLG, CALF, JEPQ, OMFL & CGDV. I probably should have followed @hank and invested in a bottle of something in case the much anticipated correction occurs in the next week or so.
Lots of talk here about the mens tournament but you might have missed a doozie with Caitlin Clarks efforts in taking down last year's champion LSU in the woman's tournament. She has been quite a story this past year.
DJT -"Digital World Acquisition Corp. does not have significant operations. The company focuses on effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or related business combination with one or more busine…
@rforno - since you're more educated about these matters what would you advise other AT&T customers who have not been contacted by the company regarding the data breach to do with respect toward their accounts? I ask because my son's family has …
You don't own your purchase history or banking records -- the respective companies do. They in turn can sell/offer it to whomever they want, and in some cases, 'the market' thinks it's good to contribute such information to the credit agencies to …
Just wondering, when or where or how I ever gave these 3 entities + two I never heard of (thanks @rforno) the right to comb through any of my files or data batches to produce their rating/scores. Yes I know that it's all required to open accounts bl…
My daughter and her family will be tripping down to Fayetteville, Arkansas to take it in. She has a friend who lives there. Here's a NY Times article for other sites and activities.
It's never been about fervor for a piece of hardware. It's always been about reliability, ease of use and functionality. Apple products usually seem to work like I think they should work. From the beginning I've had no idea what Windows was thinking…
