Never heard of it until now. A lot will depend upon the funds you pick I would imagine. Not something I would be interested in but every investor is different.
This is the beginning of John Oliver's bio on Wikipedia. No where in here does it mention that he is a newsman, runs a news show or is a journalist. In fact just the opposite. He's a freakin' comedian. Since when does a comedian verify anything?
"J…
I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry.
“Using both a poll of Fox News viewers over age 55 and publicly available data on television-watching patterns, they calculate that Fox viewers who watched Hannity rather than Carlson were less likely to adhe…
I'm just a kid who grew up with the likes of Cronkite, Murrow, Chancellor, Sevareid and so on who I believed represented professional journalism at it's finest. They exuded competence, fairness, integrity, believability as though they had a Standard…
Let's hope so but their system deeds a double, triple steam cleansing. My guess is that they've got a lock on their viewers now no matter how or what they report. It would be nice to have them find some integrity.
@davfor - you seem to be confusing my disgust with the fox news organization with those that listen and believe in what they say. Big difference! FWIW I just spent the last 6 months in the gulf coast area and unfortunately most of the residents fall…
While I have to agree with your statement that fox news "has a large and devoted following. It helps to shape and reflects the thinking of a significant segment of the population." my issue is that what they promulgate has been to a large degree dam…
While we're at it hopefully someone will find a cure for fox news. This explains the testing problem more clearly:
"Coronavirus testing in the U.S., which lags other regions and is considered a linchpin to restarting the economy, has been mired wi…
I highly doubt that mutual fund owners day trade their portfolio's and even if they did all they'd get would be end of day prices. ETF's of course behave differently. Add or subtract if you want but for now it's all just mostly guess work. Feeling l…
@MikeM - I have sold certain positions as this snap back rally produced opportunities. Most of those sales have been in REIT's which I was to slow to dispose of initially but have now regained half their losses. I also sold some CEF's I owned to rai…
“I thought they would do it if things turned down again. They keep doing things day after day, it makes you wonder how bad the data is they’re seeing,” said John Briggs, head of strategy at NatWest.

"We learned that the trip of former acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Modly to Guam on Monday to harangue the sailors of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, there to clean the ship of coronavirus and to help the crew infected with…
@royal4 - I had considered that but if the market goes up from here there doesn't seem to be a reason for doing so.
ALSO: " A Roth IRA conversion made on or after January 1, 2018, cannot be recharacterized. For details, see “Recharacterizations” in…
I think you got the mandate wrong there. D&C is not required to beat the S&P 500. They are acting to select value stocks which they deem safer and worthy of their clients money. It's obvious to me that many investors do, judging by the AUM. …
"Citing the intensifying threat of the virus, Evers on Monday afternoon had ordered the postponement of in-person voting and the receipt deadline for mail-in ballots to June 9.
He said he made the decision to act unilaterally because of dire warning…
Easy to do online at Fidelity as you noted. I just completed rolling my traditional IRA into my Roth a few weeks ago. Be careful not to bump yourself up into a higher tax bracket however. Why would you want to open a new Roth? I'm unclear as to any …
180 polling places in Milwaukee down to 5. Again- voter suppression.
One person - one vote? Everyone has a right to vote, just not in Wisconsin (and so many other states).
