Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.

Hi @Derf NOPE ! The mutual funds we held were with purpose, so we never had a need to trade frequently. And with the current buy just about anything menu with a Fidelity brokerage account, we could travel to other market vendors and areas as needed…
Hi @hank et al

This was recently noted in the thread:
A real bank also makes it easier to wire in/out vs. the convoluted nonsense at Fidelity.

Hi @Old_Joe et al I forgot to mention a tiny piece of the messaging I saw early when attempting to go to MFO. The screen indicated both Chicago and Toronto as the failure locations for a Cloudflare connection. These locations are expected and nor…
I will give the benefit of doubt that 'Cloudflare' is keeping the network system up to speed by whatever is needed to 'exceed' anticipated traffic. This is indicated at their website. Perhaps one of their customers had an attack that moved down the …
