@Derf I did find several old report papers that were published for the club which contained information that I wrote, but surprisingly; I did recall some details from those days. A nice test that apparently my brain is not as impacted by our perso…
Morn'in @Crash
...Were you bragging or complaining? I'm sorry, I just don't follow your non-sequitur.
My write was not well formed; as I was prodding you in jest to offer me a zero interest loan of your money based on your statement: Paying interes…
@Crash
Paying interest is like paying a tax you aren't required to pay.
So, you're stating that you would be willing to lend your money without fee (tax/interest)?
My credit rating is about 20 points from the very top. What is your required pape…
@Derf You try'in to overload an oldtimers brain cells....??? :)
I recall reading a few articles in Barron's or WSJ about the Beardstown Ladies investment club.
About the coworker investment club: the life span was a portion of 1985 through a porti…
The input thus far is very much appreciated. Additional thoughts are welcomed. FTEC is an excellent choice, too; as we also invest in this etf. @Old_Joe , yes; Ted would state that QQQ is the one. @davidrmoran , yes, perhaps Ted would also suggest t…
Thank you @Observant1 Every little bit of knowledge helps someone.
This connects to my QQQ post about the continuous attempts to awaken brains about investing, both young and old. I established and encouraged investment learning in 1985 when an i…

I've not spend enough time with Portfolio Visualizer to offer more than Mark's great input.

Y'all may not "hear" the lyric as I do; but when this popped into my head I heard the current group of traders looking for and chasing the stars and hoping to find lasting monetary love. NO, I'm not knocking the trader folks, and hope…

Hi @Sven
Yes. An original post may be edited, by the author; including changing the category or subject line or body text.
Are you requesting that I change the category, or merely providing information?
I commend the decorum thus far, with comments in this thread.
The subject matter was placed in "fund discussions" as to the potential fallout implications into all areas of the investment markets; from the events of Jan. 6, at the Capitol building…
@bee
As I recall, Accipiter from way back, built much of the program functions here. Tickers with 3 or 4 symbols could be linked and name shown when hovering over the symbol, as well as not remaining in black text.
I asked about this several years …
In light of the apparent changes forthcoming to the U.S. Senate composition, I'm placing the below link for a broad based overview of etf's in numerous categories (real time). I've placed this link previously, but you may find this of some benefit a…
Hi Ron,
Thank you for the holiday musical.
With the first day of winter now past on the solar calendar. We are on the way towards spring in Michigan and the return of the songbirds and the warmth of the sun's rays upon our faces while outside. Yipp…
@Mark
Agree.
Whatever may be their mindset for how they choose where to be positioned, one has to be impressed with ARK management. ARKG is running circles around similar funds/etfs in the same sector(s).

Forgot to mention..........about 9 posts backwards, Randy details clearing Google history. A shorter path to this same function is: with Google open, hold down the "ctrl" and "h" keys. This will pull up the same page for clearing browser data of you…
@msf
Your link works fine here, for the older view, too.
NOTE: I clear browser history and cache at least once a day.
ADD: not that this is critical, but our use to the net is also via a VPN connection.
Hi Randy,
Still in the same location at M*.
This is the generic quote page at M*, selected for FSMEX.
Select the "portfolio" tab, then scroll down for the last set of data; for "Holdings".
Take care,

While the current vaccine race has many components over many years to achieve what is now in place; the processing speeds of computer systems to help determine outcomes in many areas provides great benefit now and into the future in our lives.

Hi @BenWP
We played the MM game for about 1 year in the mid-80's. At the time, NY state had usury law limits of 12% for a personal loan/line of credit. We processed such a loan and invested the money in a MM account in Michigan. We didn't make a pil…
Hi @chip
Thank you for that info. I would think a headset microphone would be best with using a laptop and Office365 for voice clarity and reduction of background noise.

HI @Old_Joe
Still hiatus for the most part.
The habit for some of the long timers here was to use the OT category for a "community bulletin board", too; to help and share for this type of question.
I had always used the "recent discussions" to …
@hank I missed any notification that "OT" was open again. But, I selected the category first as a test and then wondered were it went. Didn't look don't the list to discover that it had indeed posted. Anna was my guide for this. I'll place this …
Hi @Anna
Okay..............I did not go to check that category location. My habit of using "Recent Discussions", which used to include Off Topic discussions took me down the wrong path.
Thank you.
Don't know folks................this thread was fine at 8:40 am, Saturday with a reply from @hank and I replied to him and posted. I also updated the subject line to more properly reflect the question. Gone now............
Perhaps nothing not direct…
Hi @hank
Thank you for your thoughts. This software would be used with a Windows PC. I was pleased with how well this type of program performed 20+ years ago. Yes, one had to teach the software as to the tones and sounds of an individual voice; but …

I didn't mean to imply a longer term draw down for the fund in question, but that this fund reacted as did most bond funds during the "everything" melt in March, until the FED arrived.
We continue to maintain our largest bond holding of the p…
Hi @hank
TMSRX NAV on March 3 = 9.87, NAV on March 19 = 9.00.

As always, depends where the monies are invested, eh? Just a look with a few choices below. Most bonds are doing okay for the year, in spite of weakness since early September. With the equity markets whack this past week, AAA bonds did not…

Thank you for your time with the Stockcharts "how to".
I have used and posted here from Stockcharts for a number of years. Is it the only tool in my shed of information?....NO; but I use some of the very basic information …
Hi @Old_Joe
I find this at Stockcharts for the two you mentioned. Placing a cursor at 9-30 date (on chart lines) shows a virtual tie for YTD at +4.12 and +4.13%.
You may also right click onto the slider below the chart (showing 210 days) and select…
