From Barron's via Yahoo Finance: Why Charles Schwab Is Taking a Beating Along With Bank Stocks
Man am I out of touch! While I am not debating the merits of MFO and the information provided and available since when did $200 become practically free? Sure inflation is upon us but holy crap.
@hank and @Old_Joe - but did you copy and paste the non-working link? Who does that? Anyway try this LINK and maybe....
FWIW in his original post the address shown was highlighted and a simple click should have taken one to the article. I don't kno…
Well to be fair the survey was taken to assess how managers 'intend' to invest moving forward and not how they were positioned. The part FD left off from Yahoo:
"Defensiveness is in style among financial advisers, according to the BofA Securities …
I should really just go back to using one of the earliest models of a flip phone because other than the Camera and Maps and Weather now and again that's 95% of my use. I use the phone mostly as a reference to see who was foolish enough to call me si…
If Dominion wins their defamation case I hope all of those clowns will be required to go on air at all of the major networks along with their own joke of a network and make public apologies for their lies and disinformation. Oh, and I want all that …
"On the other hand it takes me hours to read the paper version and I can skim online in much less time"
@sma3 - maybe true but there's no comfort to be had in holding a tablet or laptop like there is in holding a good book or the printed word in ge…
You're welcome @MikeM. I mentioned in the Buy/Sell/Why thread that I had taken a lite position as well. Besides the reasons mentioned there it's also a way for me to follow the stock/equity. Not much gets my attention more than watching a holding fl…
No snark intended, just trying to figure out why you posted it. New dividend, special dividend, monthly-quarterly-semi-annual-annual dividend, I don't get it. Sure I can look it up just as easily as you could have explained/outlined in your OP but s…
One downside to JEPI - "JEPI may be tax-inefficient, as distributions from the fund may be taxed as income, and dividends from underlying stock holdings are not considered qualified because of the offsetting options positions."
I thought this was a…
@sma3 - you forgot to mention ""In 2022, Blackstone delivered record distributable earnings, $226 billion in inflows, and realized a number of the most profitable fund investments in our history," a Blackstone spokesperson said in an emailed stateme…
@hank - 99% Apple mostly. reserving the 1% to be a danger on PC's only if I have too. Thankfully I have a 12-yr old grandson to get me out of trouble when necessary.
I don't use the wallet app whatsoever despite Apple's incessant nagging to get me…
Can anyone please explain what does reorganizing a mutual fund into a mutual fund trust accomplish? Layman's terms please if you can. Also, is this move good for the shareholders? TIA
I was thinking along the same lines @Old_Joe. There are so-so many others who deserve a spot on the list as well but I don't have a full list of witnesses questioned by the grand jury.
I took a small position in AVGE for a few reasons. One, I hold no other foreign equities other than what might be buried somewhere in some other mutual fund I hold. I haven't ever felt that I needed any nor did I feel they added anything to my total…
If easy is what you're after you could always go with the Mrs. Warren Buffett portfolio - Mr. Buffett indicated that upon his passing, the trustee of his estate will invest 90% of his wife's inheritance in a low-cost index fund and 10% in short-term…
As an add on to trickling into FXAIX I also do the same with SCHD and CDC. Over the long term they do slightly better than FXAIX but not enough to bet the farm on. Also CDC does not have that long a history and may look less appealing in a long bull…
