While I am not a fan of RBG, if she passes, the divisiveness that currently plagues our country will multiply ten-fold, bringing much pain and recrimination.
I never met Jack Bogle, but I owe him my current financial security to him and his wisdom. Following his advice was and will continue to be my family's well-being and happiness. Thank you Jack.
Hi Ted and PressMup, Thank you both for your good advice. I am selecting two or three of them. I wonder if I should do it now or wait till after the circus leaves town in November. Any thoughts?
Thank you both Ted and PressMup for your very useful advice. I own a small position in VDGIX Vanguard dividend growth fund which has been a satisfactory performer But I keep reading articles saying that dividend growth has its best days behind it. …
Bee, If you look carefully, you will discover that the new printer which comes with ink is a scam. The amount of ink in new printers will barely last a week or two based on your usage; then you will have to buy refills (which I suggest you buy on eB…
Whew!!! I knew you guys were smart, but you over whelm me. I have been a lurker on MFO since Noah, and I have gotten some good advice, (not always taken). I think I will probably find a nice conservative money manager and trust him/her to interpret …
My thanks to all the MFO people who kindly helped (and succeeded) I am sending this string to my adviser and telling him to shape up or ship out.The quality of the information I have gotten over the years ranks head and shoulders above other newslet…
John, I'm sorry. At my advanced age, I barely remember to go to the toilet in the AM. I only remember that it was the longest thread that I had seen on MFO; and your name was on several of them with very acute observations about investing. You would…
I own MPW Medical Properties Trust which is heavily into the rapidly growing senior citizen market with retirement communities plus other related medical properties. Pays a nice dividend too.
Oy ! Max, Some people will never understand that humor is what defeated Hitler. The Jews have outlasted a few dozen tyrants and still are one of the world's greatest treasures.
They tried to kill us; they failed; let's eat!!!
A long time ago, FDR signed the Social Security system into law and promised that it would never be taxed. When politicians need money, they will take it regardless of what they once said. If you trust your government to refrain from taxing Roth IRA…
Dear MSF, Thank you for your thoughtful and comprehensive answer to my question. This is the type of response that I had hoped for and you have restored my faith in MFO!
Well, aside from getting conflicting info on the availability of PRSHX (TRP confirms that it is open), no one addressed my original question. ETF vs open end fund?
Reply to @Investor: Thank you for your suggestion, but I checked the box "keep me signed in" and it works until it does not. I log on several times a week and it works fine. &%$#@*
My apologies to those of you who pointed out my error. I believe the problem is traceable to the fact that for some reason, when I logged on to MFO today, I was required to again give my user name and password. This happens periodically. When I fina…
Because I long ago decided to be an investor rather than a trader, I voted to stick. My portfolio is tailored to my short and long term goals and performs well. (I am not greedy). I respect people who choose to trade, but long term experience has sh…
I nearly got snagged by this PHISH. Fortunately, my Virus protection worked. I had recently placed an order with Amazon and was puzzled by it's cancellation.
By the way, I believe I placed the order in hopes that MFO would get the credit. How do I k…
Prinx,
I recently purchased a mutual fund that invests in pipeline MLPs called Steelpath.MLPAX. I bought it through Schwab at NTF. You don't have to deal with the 10K forms etc
To Fundalarm, Please explain why MLPs should not be bought in funds. I am under the impression that ETNs are treated differently and do not necessarily generate K-1s
I will appreciate your more detailed comments. Thanks
