@Junkster- Thank you very much for the compliments. My mental facilities may be a bit intermittent, but that's still a hell of a lot better than the present and preceding occupants of the White House.
As you suggest, a big part of the operation is …
@Junkster- dtconroe and I have pretty much the same situation and desires, so I take your advice to him very seriously, and I really thank you for keeping me (us) in the real world.

After considering Junkster's comments in the Low Risk Bond OEFs for Maturing CDs thread I decided not to look at those particular bond funds (which have transaction fees at Schwab) at this time. So, thanks a…
OK, so it's likely that the South Koreans knew damned well what was going on. And the Feds tipped to it months ago. So the intelligent diplomatic response is to get ahold of the SK gov't people, say "hey, this isn't very cool- can you please take ca…
