Funny I vacated positions in FDCAX FEMKX and FSPTX in the last 30 days. Looking for less risk and similar returns. Made a small purchase in New Millenium Fund.

Worked for a company for 10 years and they never made much of a profit. Their excuse was that they were growing the company. I invested a lot of money in the company's stock and through company - employee matching plans. When I left I put most …
You seem to keep jerking my chain I'll bite one more time.

What good funds have shorter holding periods? I do not follow this criterion as I do not wish to bail based on 1-2 mos' performance. (Who does?) Which funds do you favor that permit thi…

Was at a Sears store yesterday. When I first arrived saw a pickup truck with a Kenmore refrigerator in back of truck. The frig had a sign on it stating the unit was six months old and Sears would not honor the warranty.
I think there's more t…
All of this is well and good to know but as an observer I don't have to know all of this - but I would hope my educated fund managers have a vast knowledge of this and can analyze and react in a profitable way. This is what I know. - Most of us ar…
Trying to find out a little about bull market. com. At this time I would not put much faith in their editorials either - I find no one willing to put their name on them as the author. Looks like they are also engaged in shoveling crap out the door a…
Thanks Bee, what I have is a health spending account - have reviewed your plan it is far different than what I have. Need to study more to see if I can possibly have an independent health savings plan in my name also.

#4 looks like a good plan, with a lot of fees though. If I read this right basic cost is in excess of $ 79.00 per year. Is your unused remainder carried over?
My only option is a payroll deduction as signed up for at enrollment. My HSA account does…
Talking to myself was wondering how much property Sears really owns and how desirable it is. I would think most properties are in property management co's.

Look at JG's graphs - I think display # 32 shows since 1978 the inflation rate for college tuition has risen 1115%. When the music stops someone's going to get burnt on college tution loans.
USPS needs to fire 60% of those who do not touch a letter!!! Then since junk mail is 65% of all mail delivered it needs to cary a premium rate rather than a discount rate. Then I would need to find an alternate fuel source for my junk mail stove.

To msf You stated I used the term MONEY MARKET ACCOUNT . At no place in this posting did I use the term MONEY MARKET ACCOUNT.

Catch I understand what you are saying I can write a check at Walley World and at times have seen where they have removed the amount from my checking account before I got home with my treasures.
You bet your sweet bippie; I was on the phone for over 2 hours yesterday listening to elvator music while "specialist" at brokerage and then retirement looked into what happened and could be done. I guess I just dont understand how something so simp…

The middle class was sold down the river with the repeal of the Glass-Steagell act. Culminiating with the too big to fail mentality which we are paying for every day. Believe it or not we are now under the rules of socialism.
