I believe that you can buy the fund through Fidelity BUT.....
There is a transaction fee and this alert on the Fidelity site:
"Please call a Fidelity Representative at 1-800-544-6666 to buy this fund."
At least that's the info I received when I s…
MERFX for those playing at home.
As for your question I have no clue. Poor stock selection choices, expected mergers that didn't happen, one or both stocks took a dive, the market said who cares, I don't know. It's also hard to opine reasonably wit…
@stillers - let me see if I can clear up any confusion for you.
You said "Added to my AMZN position with it DOWN 7+% early this AM.
If a LT investor didn't at least nibble in AMZN this AM..."
As a LT investor (I assumed that you mean 'long term' …
I see little reason to be nibbling at AMZN at this time other than it's down a bit. Nothing in the charts say that it's moving higher, in fact the opposite. I can wait.
Both articles are quite interesting although it seems that there is a lot of work and configuring to be done before we see widespread adaptation and adoption. I will be watching.
@Sven - I've said it before about about the Chinese government exerting their influence on companies that they feel don't play by their unwritten rules. It's what keeps me from investing there at all even though the potential for rewards could be hu…
And remember this from the article: "Above all, remember the three key principles when thinking or writing about financial markets: 1) The stock market is not the economy. 2) The stock market is not the economy. 3) The stock market is not the econom…
I framed yesterday’s drop as really not that big a deal percentage wise vs point wise. I guess it’s all in how one looks at it. Ditto today’s claw back so far.
So, on July 6, 1971, was Nixon in his speech amid racial unrest, campus agitation and antiwar protests making a case for more tax breaks for the businesses and the already wealthy and the dismantling of or cutbacks in social programs by keeping him …
True story - my dad bought Apple sometime during the 80's for 20-30 cents a share. Unfortunately he died in 1987. My mother who thought investing in anything other than US savings bonds was a recipe for disaster sold Apple along with whatever else m…
As much as I'd like to I'm not investing in anything China at this time. When your success or failure is based on the whims of the country's leader I'll just step away. Look what he did to BABA. No thanks.
Kiplinger's website is easily the most irritating page to wander around. The ad volume easily triples or quadruples the volume of their intended message content. By the time I finished the article I felt like I needed a shower. Their #1 pick which I…

"There is practically nothing at all within these pages to cater for or appeal to those starting out on life's investment journey. In fact, nothing to appeal to those from 18-45. I'm 55, and Lynn Bolin's monthly articles bore the h…
Well no @hank. Since he's going to be reinstated in August he will have served 2 terms and won't be eligible to run again. Of course I never expected to see nut job supporters of him beating law officers with flag poles wrapped in the American flag …
@JoJo26 who said "People need to take some personal responsibility these days rather than just say everything wrong is someone else's problem."
While I strongly agree with that statement that's hardly the way it's ever been e.g McDonalds having to …
Aw geez, there's the issue. Being self-employed I've never experienced the joys of a 401k. Furthermore, the funds I've transferred in kind have been from IRA accounts at a different brokerage to Fidelity. Apologies for not having my thinking cap on.
Excuse me for playing Mr. Obvious but can't you just let Fidelity handle the transfer for you? I don't know what fund(s) you may have in your 401k but if Fidelity also carries them it's a simple matter of a transfer-in-kind.
Cathie Wood:
"During the last nine months, in response to a V-shaped recovery, global equity markets rotated away from growth stocks toward value stocks. Commodity prices soared, increasing fears of inflation and higher interest rates, while the ea…
Indeed. Good find. But I wonder about the eviction/foreclosure data only because I'm not so sure that the numbers have caught up with the reality. Guess we'll see.
