davidrmoran : No need to send billing, it's the amount that caught my attention!
Old_Skeet: FWIW, I'm thinking my Market has priced the
rate increase in already. Last month VG Retirement Income went down almost 14 % Nav 5.1 down to 4.4.

I believe I came across the same situation , as I was looking at last years taxes. I'll take a look & see which fund this happen to & report back.

P.S. Probably happens more t…
@msf: A big yes to the 1/3 distribution coming from income. I believe if you set up auto deposits you can add after this year. Maybe I'm wrong or there has been a change

@MikeM:
A glut of used vehicles. The industry has seen this coming for a while. It works on a schedule: a wave of vehicles from lease turn-ins and rental car companies is flooding the market and is putting pressure on used car prices, and thus trade…
Low_Tech : FWIW= Unless you're trying to keep up with the "Jones" I'd keep the 2011 for many more years ! If you could sell it out right & use the cash as down payment for new truck, that would be better than a trade in. The run on trucks shoul…
MikeM: Different strokes for different folks ! I was wondering how many miles / year or three years total can you put on your Camry before it cost you at the end of lease ?

Sven: either you or I missed the move. Seems to me she was only using G.P. to provide back-office & trade support. I believe she was starting her own fund. Rondure Globe Advisors.

Old _Skeet: How is your portfolio doing compared to the end of 3/rd Qter? I'm down about 1 1/2 %. Just wondering how other are doing from end of the 3/rd qter.
Thanks , Derf
Thanks for your time & replies. I'm looking to do a roll over & put everything into stable value ,but will need to do some more work to see what the ins & outs pertaining to the stable value are. Maybe I'll put everything in VG ret. inco…
VF : thanks for the come back. " 33% in cash is stockpiling? " Not for me anyhow ! I have to believe I'm over that threshold. So to restate the question, are you reinvesting 2/3 of dividends & capital gains back into the market & 1/3 to ca…
I had the time to watch show last night . Financial adviser had some nice commissions from the players. I don't think this was the first time this has happen to wealthy sport figures & probably not the last ! I would have liked to been in the ro…
