@David, at best I have less than half the $100K minimum so....
I tend to stay fully invested most of the time. I just happen to have enough to start the new position and I wouldn't build it up to the max anyway. But thanks.
@msf - all of that is true. My call last night (after normal business hours) was handled by Joe Anybody (not trying to be demeaning). My call this morning was handled by my "active trader team" (their words not mine). And yes, I could call again and…
Blah. My own version of DGRO (including some of the same stocks) comes with >2-3X the yield with no ER other than trading fees when bought. I'm good to go.
FWIW to Fidelity investors:
I tried to do an in-family swap of DSENX (investor share class) for DSEEX (institutional) and it wasn't allowed. Apparently the firm treats the two share classes as different families. Thus one needs to sell and buy sepa…
If you need to categorize it then I would say that LV is the closest approximation. I only have the fund because it works in growing my portfolio value.
Note to self - Tariff/Trade tensions, Tech sector, semiconductors have absolutely nothing to do with the markets or mutual funds or investing in general. Nothing. At. All.
Got it.
I beg to differ. This country could use more individuals with a sense of right, dignity and goals for the common good. It still bothers many to this day the egregious wrongs they pull off leaving the US citizens to bail them out while they walk away…
I believe that many are thinking the market will go higher if the US reaches a trade/tariff deal with China. Like Junkster I trade/invest with what Mr. Market gives me and spend little time anticipating what I think it should be doing or giving me.
John said "health care etf maybe one of the top vehicles going forward 10-20 yrs from today especially in bio-micro-tech fields"
I believe that's been said quite regularly about the healthcare sector for the last 10-20 years if not longer. The sect…
I call FOUL!!! re: "A Launch Alert for Cannabis Growth Fund (CANNX), which we wrote without a single pot joke."
What good is that. As a long time reader of your reports I've come to depend on the humor. It's a sad day.
Nope, one day moves never get my impulses to go any way or another.
Even if I thought I had a clue Prez Bonespurs would piddle out a tweety rendering a good process worthless at best.
For the last 5-7 years I've had some serious doubt about whether they even had a webmaster or IT department. Can anyone confirm? Their recent discussion forums renovations are a disaster.
The above post was found in the AAII Journal of May, 2019. The snippets were related to a survey done by Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies. The survey report is here:

From the AAII Journal:
Millennials More Optimistic About Retirement Than Older Generations
"Among those who participated in the study, the median age at which workers began saving for retirement was 24 years old for Millennials, 30 years old for G…
Not for me it isn't. Yield is too low and industrial component is too high. If I had to pick a competitor it would be DGRO, the iShare similar. I do use RDIV mostly because I don't have enough cash to buy their holdings outright.
@OJ - Here's the CNN progress report:
Hey, I found a conscience!
The same gentleman also submitted on Twitter:
"Here are my principal conclusions:
1. Attorney General Barr has deliberately misrepresented Mueller’s report.
2. President Trump has e…
The largest sources most likely are his daddy, the Russian mob, stiffing his workers and evading his taxes. No doubt there are plenty more but not his businesses. Those are all losing money according to him.
