I have to agree RPHYX and RSIVX are "hold" for me. I'm not going to add any more money at least for a couple of years, assuming I will still hold until then.
CNBC is run by NBC - the producer come over from NBC, it is Located in the NYC area - what more do you need?
That's too simple. Schwarzenneger was governor of CA and he is a Republican. What about the NY Governer/Mayor, I forget his name - also a …
If CNBC is anti RNC, republican will never get into the whitehouse. Unless we have a FOX news sponsored dictatorship. IMO RNC is handling this wrong.
What "serious" conversation took place in the RNC debate on Fox News? The questions in that debate…
Okay, this is either a carefully orchestrated "dump" or Sequoia has met its Washington Mutual. You have two directors resigning over Valeant investment? OR Citron is lying?
WTF does Sequoia mean Citron exploiting negative sentiment around the stock…
@VintageFreak,
A call into USAA provided the following information:
All USAA funds are NTF (No Transaction Fee) and there is no minimum holding period nor a early redemption fee.

Hope that is helpful.
It most certainly is bee. However, …
I don't get it. CNBC is not made up of left wingers. Rick Santelli invented the "tea party" for god's sake. RNC is just dumb. This is internal RNC debate. First learn to answer the question that's asked then criticise the questions. Most times a que…

This is al good web site to make your own comparisons:
brokerage-review.com/
I Did took there, but found information quite lacking or stale. For instance no highlighting of so any NTF funds Vanguard offers
I think that VF excluded most every broker that we use. Not sure what his top criteria are that excluded those brokers. There are several good broker comparisons online, that do include a few more choices. Here is one that ranks brokers by many c…
Holding periods for NTF funds aren't well establish on the site...thanks for reminding me. I will ask and get back to you.

Hi @VintageFreak,
Wondering why not Scottrade?
I have been thinking of moving my spiff (special investment positions) business to them.
Thanks.

Like I said in my opening post, I was looking outside the list. Scottrade I already have …
@scott - Sorry, not ameritrade.
@bee - USAA, surprise!!! Not a bad collection. But, I'm having trouble finding the "holding" period for NTF funds. If you can please oblige?
Exercise your option to move to CA! Nah! Too expensive. Which is why I job with this company because no one wants to come to TX on first priniciples and lower salary.
I think people in CA might prefer to emigrate to Zimbabwe before TX. At least tha…
Don't get me started. I cannot carry over my vacation so I end up losing every year. If I was working for same company in CA I would be able to carryover or cash my vacation. Neither option available in TX.
Reply: I'm not clear of your comment was serious, or made with tongue-in-check?
I think its a common (but bizarre) tendency of Americans to NOT compare & contrast themselves, their society, policies, outcomes, circumstances with other nati…
Basically if you think about it, then it will happen !!!
I'm going to win the lottery. I'm going to win the lottery. I'm going to win the lottery...
Wait! what am I thinking???

our accumulations may need to stretch into
So few people will have the option to spend, it really doesn't need to be discussed.
Right on. They want to advise us how to save. Then advise us how to spend. Humbug!
I'm not going to spend any of m…
I think this is in everyone's future. Not just the desert countries. After oil, next import will be I-cannot-believe-its-not-spring-water from Saudi Arabia. Then we will get hooked on it. Then we will discover in North Dakota there is so much pollut…
I actually don't see problem with this. If person is smart but with student loans, this is a perk to join government, instead of some hedge fund and wreaking havoc on the entire world.
I am sorry, but this is just awful excuse for journalism. Survey is not research. I can round up 100 people who are ready to swear I'm the King of Scotland. That does not say anything about the stupidity of those people or how unscrupulous I am.

It dropped 6%, but suddenly I'm not regretting not buying SEQUX any more. I understand large bets can be beneficial. FAIRX, COBYX....I'm risking enough on high betters. Don't need any more.
you mean you don't know he had his email hacked on purpose to feed misinformation to the evil-doers?
you need to understand the strategery. who still uses AOL for personal email. There is a plan !!!
:D
what ?!?!?!?! I after WBMAX started stinking up the place I started re-evaluating my position in WBLSX. Moved half of it into OTCRX some time back.
Ta da ta-da da....

i thought the middle class in europe does not have to worry about health care. a lot of of the middle class in america would follow "capitalism" and take "risk" and "earn" more money, if they didn't have to worry about how to live in retirement.

I believe there are some venture capital firms who are letting individual investors invest in private companies for a fee. This is like shadow trading if you think about it.
What Bitcoin doing to traditional currencies, this shadow trading in ill…
Having trouble understanding. What is time frame to decide market did not go up 20% after the > 20% decline? Basically are we saying ANY decline >20% ? For instance 2009 "bear market" was 27% down as per that chart. We are way about that level…
