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.
As a Super Senior, CDs are very important in our savings and planning.
They offer security and liquidity and beat the low savings offered at our local CU. We have about 20% in Mutual funds and that makes us over extended if one uses the 100-age rule…
With all the available ways to vote one should not have to take time off to vote. You can vote early; you can vote absentee; heck; Trump even thinks it's OK to vote AFTER the election.
The UN should have stopped this mess 10 years ago when the locals in those border counties started throwing rocks at one another.
I hope the CIA, the State Dept, and Tom Clancy are coming up with a secret response to Russia using tactical nukes. Hav…
Wireless? Dongle? Mirroring?
Time to put my RCA Tube Manual in my tube caddie and leave.
Need to spend some time learning about this new thing called a transistor.
Lots of good info in this conversation.
As in real estate, getting good TV reception depends on location, location, and location. Location of your abode from the TV station, (distance), location of your antenna (inside or out), and location of your …
IMHO using the word "Digital" is meaningless. Any good antenna for TV reception will do. I bought one at Walmart,, >$50, a few years back that works great, and I am 70 miles from the stations. Size may be a factor depending on where you are going…
Our local banks and credit unions does not offer rates competitive to those found in brokerages.
Fidelity and Vanguard offer the same 1 year CDs that yield 3.05%.
Why is this so? In years past my CU's CD rates equaled or exceeded those of major …
I had a new metal roof put on last year for about $20K. USAA raised my replacement value about 30K and yes, the premimum zooooomed. I thought a metal roof should have lowered my cost due to better fire protection.
Yes, lumber is going thru the roof, has been for several years.
In the mean time our forests are being consumed by forest fires.
We need to get back to logging, letting ranchers run cattle in forests, create fire breaks and clear cuts to improve liv…
Does the Direct Pay problem affect refunds?
My 2022 refund was promptly completed, in February, to my CU checking account, as it has been for several years.
I file using an online service and use E-file.

The “quote” from Trump’s 2016 Iowa speech is often truncated.
It should start with “They say I could stand in ---------“.
Some say “they” is referring to reporters but others say he is referring to his supporters.
I’m surprised there wasn’t much about the passing of Mr. Mudd on TV news. The Media usually have a several day spread honoring the passing of entertainment and media personality.
Oh, they also like to fill us in on any thing the British Royalty doe…
This sounds like it is coming right out of a book I’m reading; “Debt of Honor” by Tom Clancy, 1994. If you have money in the market it will send cold chills down your spine.
My wife and I are in our mid 80s, healthy, and live near a small town that is the County Seat of our New Mexico County.
I signed up for the covid-19 vaccination on our state’s web site on 1/9/2021.
On 1/18/2021we were notified by e-mail that we had …
Thanks to msf. I haven't tried it but it looks like what I am looking for.

T Rowe use to have some tools I used, such as portfolio analysis with a Stock Overlap feature. Do they still have that?
I have tried logging on but they do not recognize me nor can I find a way to create a new account. I have some T Rowe funds but t…
Hank;
I’m glad you enjoyed the show. I’m more of a Willie Nelson fan.
I have been retired since 1992 and have been on and off M* and MFO for many years. I don’t post much but like to read what other folks are thinking.
I live close enough to the bor…
