Thanks All, Derf
Thanks for the link @zenbrew. Can anyone answer this question ? If someone is in the 95% tile, what is the possibility of getting covid-19 ?
Not that mathematical, Derf
Thanks for the post,info @catch22. I took a look at Vanguards tip, VIPSX. YTD shows 6.54% as compared to LTPZ at 18%. Would the difference in return be do to duration ?

Good morning @Old_Skeet ! Another question if I may ask ? Do you have a set review time , daily ,weekly monthly, etc for the mfs you own or do you tend to dig deeper in volatile times ?

Good morning@Old_Skeet: Nice going on your profits , when you take them. I'm guessing most of that took place with buys on the final dip day , so to speak. I purchased some on the way down , but was a day or two late on that final down day. As they …
