So, I signed up for their free offer. But it's only free for a year? Will they automatically try to make me PAY for the credit "protection" after that? The latest stuff I've just read makes me think that Equifax has scammed me, and millions of other…
Guys, if these are the "stewards" of our credit history, I firmly believe all our information is public. Credit Protection / Monitoring is a scam. IF someone uses your information you know about it, else you don't. There are so many fish in the sea.…
I used to own this fund. I sold it as part of my last technical ANALysis since I knew this was going to suffer the same fate as JORDX, SCMFX, SEEDX, et. al
We can't sue a farmer for the size of strawberries he grows. That's understandable. However how can this be allowed? Government Auditors should be all over these guys. I mean .jsp ?!?!?! Even in 19th century they wouldn't do this shit.
We got Bitco…

OH. MY. GAWDS.
For those looking to freeze their credit reporting data this weekend, you may find it pathetically interesting to note that the scheme Equifax uses to generate the PIN for you to thaw the freeze is, I kid you no…

The URL ends in .jsp aka JavaServerPages. Which idiot makes is obvious to hackers the underlying technology behind a website ???
@msf So just so I understand, if we take advantage of Equifax free monitoring, which I'm assuming would be for 1 year, then we give away the right to sue. If we opt-out, then we don't get free monitoring.
Sorry if I see conspiracies all over the p…
@hank I didn't mean to imply having no debt had anything to do with identify theft. I was just mentioning how I handled it. When someone else shot my credit history and score, I decided to try and take it out of the equation. If I can live without b…

You mention the possibility of the fund liquidating, however the fund webpage is indicating about $1.5 billion in assets, do you see any indication that liquidation is being considered.
Thanks
I was lamenting aloud :-). Thanks for makin…
@msf. It remains to be seen whether cyber threat or nuclear threat is more dangerous. Or imagine cyber attack on nuclear installations. We did it to the Iranians. Everyone watched "Zero Days" right?
I have been a victim of identity theft. It was an inside job. Nothing I could have done to prevent it. It changed my entire way of thinking
Since that time, I completely changed my lifestyle. No more debt. Live within your means. Want new car? No. …
@BobC. Not so sure. I lost half my portfolio in dot com bust. I lost 22-23% in Financial Crisis. Only because I sold.
It is true I also didn't enjoy the gains after 2008 that one would have done simply buying and holding. However, I'm not sure I am…
All jokes aside guys, you cannot question the reliability of starbucks. You can TRY other coffees and they might be good, but you know you will never be dissapointed with starbucks basic coffee.
I'm not a big coffee drinker, but if I'm on the road …
So guys, back to my question. I'm searching on the IAPD site. So this seems to be website where advisors can provide THEIR information.
How do I find if something bad has been reported against Advisor Company/Advisor? And is no news good news? Ther…

it's a solid outfit that gives good and prudent service and advice, as you can tell from the lead guy's radio show, and would obviate the need for research

I would just send him to Edelman
yes, this is nonresponsive to your query
that's fine, but at the very least you need to provide an explanation of your joke, because I didn't get it :-)
The funny thing is...

Which is an entirely different fund company with funds like WCMRX.
And I'm not able to figure out what this WCM stands for. They actually have made it extremely hard if not impossible to figure that …
We need a starbucks on every corner. Basically we always have starbucks. And then at every starbucks we have a corner. In other words if you make a turn and don't see a starbucks, then you really didn't turn around a corner.
Note to self : Walk ar…
That's not my point. My point is ARTYX is no better than ARTZX. ARTYX manager is supposed to be a "star" who simply rode the emerging bull market and has not record in bad markets. ARTZX manager has toiled at Artisan with no thanks. Artisan could no…
And what do you want to say about these geniuses? WTF would you volunteer????

Of course...true to script. Rate ARTYX because of star manager, yeah? ARTZX don't rate. And why? Because ARTYX does not have history of bad performance that ARTZX has. Or because ARTZX is run by a woman.
Look below for relative performance. Excuse …
