Do CD purchases count ? 1% matures 7/22 . Better than .05 % in the bank ! I'll be doing a ladder , with 3 month CD up next. The big question , has Mr. Market priced in the (6)? Fed raises ?

...Good question...... I just find those levels of CD rates are a waste of time. I kinda wish there were some other outfit that operates like Israel Bonds: selling sovereigns in dollars at a pretty good interest rate, even zero-coupon stuff. I'd be tempted. Ya, US bonds offer a good rate right now. But they're VARIABLE. I don't want to buy a pig in a poke. And i don't wanna be constantly in and out and making changes every few months.

@yogibearbull,
Somewhat OT.
At this point, is 2 yr Treasury or 1 yr Treasury a better bet? When I bought 2 yr notes in April/May, my idea was roll down potential. Now, 1 yr yields only 40 basis points lower than 2 yr. You can PM me as well. Thanks.

This may be PC &/or browser dependent. On my PC it works only for 1 magnification setting for 3 browsers mentioned. And after setting the dates, I could reduce the magnification & the dates stuck. Also, @msf noted that this trick didn't work for him at any magnification.
Another curious thing was that for me it worked at the 1st magnification that made the ad panel on the right disappear. Actually I was trying to do that, posted the screenshot, @shipwreckedandalone noted the date windows in my screenshot & I went back & investigated further. So, it may have to do something with web page-frames.

It appeared only at 133% magnification for me for VFIAX (Firefox). That was the highest magnification possible while still getting the full image to appear on the screen.

@yogibearbull seems to be right about the slider giving daily granularity only for more recent dates. And about my using 2022, not 2021. As I recall, the old chart tool had a similar issue that if you went back far enough in time you couldn't coax daily changes out of it. Not sure about that, though.
I've tried chrome and edge, both logged in and anonymous and at no magnification do the date boxes appear for me. I've also experimented a little with disabling my ad blocker. There must be some other setting/configuration issue at play here. Not worth it to me to figure it out.
FWIW, the old charts seem to be working again, and they always have the input dates. Though you can't compare with anything but benchmarks.
On the plus side, they're shareable/linkable, so you can follow this link and I don't have to take a screenshot and upload it.

Date windows appear only at 170-175% browser magnification (Chrome 175%,Edge 175%, Firefox 170% ), but once set, they stick. Date windows disappear for lower AND higher magnifications. So, this is the workaround.

Another test with another ticker, VFIAX. In my browsers , date windows appear only at 170-175% browser magnification (Chrome 175%,Edge 175%, Firefox 170% ), but once set, they stick. Date windows disappear for lower AND higher magnifications. So, this is the workaround and I will post it separately.

@shipwreckedandalone, EUREKA!
I didn't notice it before. It seems that the date windows appear on HIGH browser magnifications (175%+) and are editable!

When I start by clicking on different Max, 10Y, 5YR and then enter 3/15/21 slider date.....I get different left hand chart start dates. I also notice your screen print shows a shaded start and end date that msf and myself does not have.

Thanks @Crash. He is not happy with Amazon on several fronts. Retail sale and cloud service are flat. Hard to justify the high valuation going forward. Now it is at 3.6%.
The stock allocation in the fund is at 64%, a bit lower than the past where it was as high as 70%. Cash is at 1.8% whereas it was at over 10%. Bond is at 28%. Apple is a new addition at 3%.
@hank, don’t think Giruox is going anywhere soon. Even so, TRP does a good job with their secession plan in case the lead managers retire or leaving the firm. It is the sheer size of the fund that concern me.

I got close to @msf by moving the left slider- I am getting month ends, so 2/28/21, 3/31/21, etc. EDIT - I just noticed that msf did 3/15/22 (not 3/15/21), so that may be why he didn't run into month end issue.

i just looked at trp website. it looks like he spread the $$$ around in baby-sized bites. Top 10 = 32.53% of portf. He reduced amazon, noticeably.

@ron: I’ve seen the same language on other K-1 forms, but I don’t know why the legal department puts it there.

Checking out TIPs (and bonds) performance for the past 10 years -- which coincidentally is where Portfolio Vizualizer shows to be FIPDX's commencement, annual CAGRs for TIP, VIPIX & FIPDX clock in at 1.83%-1.94%. The CAGR of the general bond market (VBMFX) was 1.54% (all through May 2022).
By replacing FIPDX in PortViz with TLT (nominal LT Trsys), history goes back to 2004. TIP CAGRs were 4%, VBMFX was lower at 3.27%. TLT was 5% --- but with materially greater volatility vs both TIP & VBMFX.
Looking forward, unless one's view is that deflation will take hold, TIPs, post-bond selloff, strike me a marginally more attractive than nominal Trsys.
Opinions, pro or con?

By making ridiculously small quarterly distributions is FIPDX playing the system by claiming to make quarterly distributions when in reality they only do it once a year in December? Wouldn’t that be considered deceptive sales tactics?
Thanks Yogi for your insight.

PS - I ask because it is one of the funds offered in my 401(k) plan. I own it.

What does this mean?

Vanguard TIPS funds distribute quarterly.
Fido FIPDX says monthly (website and prospectus) but they were $0 for March, April, and $0.000000001 (I think I counted 0s right) for February and May (-:).

Here’s the picture @Derf referenced from the article by Charles Boccadoro.
Giroux maintains a 3-5 year investment horizon. Takes a leap of faith for some of us to think that far out. So Giroux has an advantage over many of us. It’s not his money. It’s an institutionally managed fund with pretty much an unlimited time horizon. Were he to leave tomorrow, the fund would carry on.
