I don't give a rat's _ss about his privare life. What I do care about is his overall performance of DBLTX. I will stick with DBLTX in my non-retirement account and keep DFLNX in my Roth. Even with the market's volitility, DBLTX has maintained a more…
Catch - Thanks for your useful comments. Actually my Roth IRA includes PETDX, TGEIX and now I just purchased $10,000 worth of DBLFX, with only a $75.00 transcation fee. I made the purchase today, selling $10,075 worth of TGEIX. So to sum it all up, …

I have decided to sell all shares of MWTRX and purchase DBLTX (institutional shares) at the $100,000 minimum purchase price. That ought to provide that extra yield and dividend kick I'm looking forward to.
Thanks 00BY for your suggestions. The only funds you mentioned that might provide an extra yield kick would be TGEIX, DLTNX (retail shares) or DBLTX (Institutional shares). Both share classes are new. I wonder if it's worth trading (selling) MWTRX f…
