I do think anonymous op-ed pieces should be banned. Protecting your source if the person's life is in danger I understand. Staying anonymous and speaking against Trump IMO riles us his base - who we now know will vote for trump even if he "shoots so…
Okay so first, we don't marry our funds or fund managers. I thought I was the last one to get divorced but perhaps it would seem I'm not. It took my YEARS to convince myself NO ONE is that good.
Frankly I focus more on whether to be invested in eq…
i use multiple browsers on my system just to segregating surfing with different things on it. For instance I will only use ONE browser application for online investing. This post being sent from another browser. And I mean different browser instance…
Seems to me that ARTMX runs hot and cold.
Just like most other funds in its category, no? I'm just glad I timed my buys in my Artisan funds properly which is what has kept me in them for such long time while I have reduced my positions.
As a long time holder of most Artisan funds (while I keep selling my holdings) and looking for re-entry, I don't think this split is going to matter much.
You know I used to have account with FirstTrade. I closed it. The problem is you don't know how long this will last, for one. And then TDAmeritrade will buy them out, I just know it.
What's almost harder to understand is where is the outrage from especially military members of his administration ... Their lack of moral courage is disgusting
Same thought. John Kelly (Chief of Staff) lost a son who was fighting for that flag.

@Old_Joe I'm not quite sure it is Sessions integrity. He after all is a lawyer right? I think he knows at what point things can become legal problem for him and that's the only reason I think he did/doing what he did/doing.
While I can understand a…
Guys, that is not the point.the point is nowadays that sort of transaction is done using a smart phone, a desk top, a laptop,, a Chromebook....... calling a broker,,,,my dad does that,,,,,he is 94.
Do you have account with Merrill Lynch? You HAVE t…
Looks like Royce dropped its advertising on M*. Or no longer touts its funds has M* rated. Or they have lost all their M* ratings. Or all of the above.
@Old_Skeet. The S&P futures still show positive as well. Maybe that's why the word "global" is used. Means nothing really, because could mean anything.
And the post is by someone who calls himself "Tyler Durden" and even has Brad Pitt as his Av…
People doling out advice never have to invest their own money based on that advice. Because they earn their keep because of us. And we have to invest so we can fund them. And they get paid regardless of whether we gain or lose money. And always, ALW…
Vanguard systems cannot do "math rounding" properly. Schwab is one of the best "rounders". This is the only consistent problem for me with Vanguard when tracking cost basis come tax time.
I come here for research. For me broker is just broker. I al…
Now I've heard everything "modernize" a "rule".
Reminds me of a ... I met once who didn't understand when I told him I'd set up a "file server" in my house for the past 20 years. His blank stare turned to englightenment when I said I have a "priva…
I bought PRIJX for my MIL. Didn't time the buy well, but...
Thinking Emerging Value should do better over Emerging Growth assuming that narrative is going to play out.
Until the dollar tanks I don't see how Emerging / International going to outper…
@carew388. Right On. What happened suddenly? I guess AQR can use its own definition of Market Neutral and Long Short. They had such low volatility until this year. Makes you wonder whether they are actually investing as per what they say. Of course …
Err...how will this work practically?
The way I understand it, power to negotiate is with "groups". The larger the "group" better the rate, unless of course the "group" is all "bad" for insurance companies.
So a "group" with all "sick people", the…
@Old_Joe you are right. You can cause damage to electronics by vacuum cleaner or blowing air through compressed air, if the "power" on the suction or the blow is too high. However this is increasingly less of a problem since more and more of the ICs…
Frankly I don't know anything about the carbon footprint of the GE fridge. It's a smaller one-door fridge and doesn't actually consume too much electricity compared to regular fridge. The fact that it has not even been repaired speaks for itself - p…
So I'm an electronics engineer by profession (then I went to grad school and effed up my life).
First, let me say people will often voice a review when they have had a problem with it. Someone who really loves the product might also do it. For most…
Trickle-down economics. One of those things that is a THING. I know a professor at SMU who teaches in the Business School there. She says she has not found one shred of evidence that can conclusively prove it has worked or will work.
Smarty Pants o…
