Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
A slight correction to the previous post TRBUX is available NTF at Schwab. But FPNIX and DODIX still have transaction fees and I haven't seen any indications that the tf will be removed.
NEAR GSY are etf alternatives for MINT . Additional open-ended funds include TRBUX and BBBMX . FPNIX and DODIX are candidates if you can buy them ntf !
ZEOIX has a transaction fee at Fidelity, E-Trade and Vanguard also. Not sure how long Firstrade will continue to sell all OEM's with no transaction fee.
NFCU also requires Direct Deposit/Allotment and checking account for this offer. So they want long-term customers by making it harder to leave when the offer ends.
@PopTart how would you compare Thailand with Costa Rica or Uruguay? It also looks like Bumrungrad International Hospital would be a top destination for medical tourists.
I checked OSDAX summary prospectus at the Invesco website and as of 8/31/19 3 year rtn was 1.76 and 5 year rtn 1.30. Vanguard surprisingly was the only brokerage I found that offered the fund;it was unavailable at Fidelity,Schwab and E-Trade.
@BenWP: Yes. In high school I had the 1977 Twins in a dice and player card league. Great offense and horrible pitching resulted in too many exciting/aggravating games!
Per Yahoo Finance BBBMX and TRBUX have better 3 and 5 year returns than OSDAX. Sorry, I can't post numbers as my internet access frequently drops due to router issues!

I opened a Vanguard account so I could buy VMVFX VWEHX and VWINX ntf and decided to invest in VWELX as well. Another benefit is that the Vanguard transaction fee for tf funds is $20, virtually the same cost as E-Trade. I'll eventually move my assets…
Firstrade interests me because every mutual fund it offers is sold commission-free. The ability to buy funds like DODIX OSTIX FPNIX and GADVX with no commission at the same brokerage seems very appealing, but I'm not sure how long this arrangement w…
IIRC, Oregon has less stringent asset tests to receive SNAP. For example, balances in stocks and bonds and annuities are not considered when applying for Oregon SNAP, per the Oregon SNAP website.
This video is part of the Hitler Rants Parodies series taken from the German film Downfall. The parody videos when Hitler finds out the Obamacare exchanges are crashing are pretty funny as well!
1944 was the first time this happened. Off the top of my head, other years would include 1965,1974,1985,1987,2002, 2011 and 2017. I'm sure I missed some.
