Do you have heirs? If this really the case, why not stick all of your leftover moneys into VONE or your equivalent choice? And then seldom look at or …
David Giroux of PRWCX is only 47! He started with the fund when he was just 31 and for years people said that he was young and inexperienced but he showed them all.
Hard to imagine anyone savvy would say such a thing; same age as Danoff and Tilling…

(After 57y here I believe I have yet to develop a proper Masshole accent ('chuhch'), although my LBirdlike buckeye one ('sheeit') is waned. I do say 'roof' to rhyme with 'poof' and on two recent trips to the Midwest was thrilled to hear radio a…
