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.
PRTXX. 4.3% today. ...That's the fund in my sweep account. I just received a promo email from lovely TRP, inviting me to make use of the fund. All kinds of fine-print disclaimers at the bottom of the message.
@rforno - "I think."
I've tried that, not much good ever ensues.
"I was thinking, which is a thing a man should not do..." Dean Jagger as Major Harvey Stovall in "Twelve O'clock High."
Go straight to 1:57:20.
"...With so little cash it’s not worth my time and effort seeking out the best return..."
That's where I'm always at, myself, too. So, someone shows me a better CD rate, and I seethe. For a moment. Then I remember it's just not how I operate. @hank
I just can't invest in any of the all-world stocks or bonds funds. J. Clements wants us all to do just that. Going forward, I fully expect PRWCX to perform well. "Full Faith And Credit Of David Giroux."
Two different levels of justice in this nation? I suspect you or I would be in handcuffs and facing felony charges in court if we were already subject of a lengthy criminal investigation and we publicly made such a remark.

.....And Gonzaga is knocked out. Cremated, murdered, mertilized. Lost by 28 points to Connecticut. Behind by 7 at the half. The 2nd half was utterly atrociously bad. They could get NOTHING to sink. Nothing worked.
And Princeton was beaten by Creig…
Just don't put all of your eggs in one basket. 5% guaranteed is pretty damn good. DO IT. Keep at least 50% in safer market instruments. Maybe funds, rather than in single stocks. Look at BRUFX. and MAPOX.
I have to ask since this tropic comes up often. Why does a Schwab or Fidelity person, which I think a majority of us are, care about M*? There are pretty good tools in each brokerage. And for fund analysis, MFO is "really" good. Maybe the best if yo…
PRWCX. 38 percent of total, including wife's T-IRA.
PRFDX is not exactly "set it and forget it." And it's a newer acquisition for me. But it appears to rise and fall along with PRWCX, so...
My junk bond funds might never go anywhere, but the divide…
In my email: a correction notice from wonderful Morningstar. I don't even think I was affected, because I never use the "My View" feature, and don't use the phone for data.
The text:
Dear Morningstar Customer,
We wanted to make you aware of a re…
Good, pithy, valuable read. Thank you, @Mark.
...Just saw something else, doing some homework for a friend. They're in Fido. I'm attempting to find out the current interest rate being generated by the Fidelity "Cash Management" account they are sav…
The madness was on full display at Gonzaga-UCLA. What a game. What a last play call by Few. And Tyger came very close to making that last second half-court shot.
GU vs. UCLA: Missed the first half.
They came roaring back from a 13-point hole to take…
We are UConn grads, so pulling for both men and women. MSU is our “local” fave.
They play vs. my Gonzaga Bulldogs, next. Don't wanna have to choose between them. Crud! I grew up 10 minutes from the CT State Line.
MSU was knocked out in OT. Heartbre…
I bought XLF this morning against my better judgement. I hate investing in 'financials' and tend to ignore them in total BUT with tech moving up and almost all of the supposedly inflation resistant sectors (e.g. finance, energy, utilities, REIT's) m…
"...The fund you reference, per M*, has a duration of 6.6. NAV for a fund like that is bound to suffer during a time like the bond market has been through for the past year-plus..."
Ya, the duration on my SCHP is 6.6 too. So it's not lighting the w…
Some level of simple, stupid convenience matters to me. I like what I'm seeing from my sweep account lately, and I can feed it money from the checking account sitting right here in my pyjamas. At the 2 CUs where I do business here on Oahu: Navy FCU …
Appreciate the work. @Old_Joe. @sma3. @yogibearbull.
You reference page 13. But I can see no page numbers anywhere. So, I'll take your word for it. :)
11.13% of deposits uninsured by FDIC. Sounds palatable, especially these days, in the current hot…
You might be smarter than me. I like the dividends. BHB down YTD -17.26%. I think if there's a stock I'm married to, it would be this one. The Big Names won't ever see my money. Ethical toilets. Particularly Wells. There's a pun! ....So, the curren…
Simply Safe Dividends is an investment news letter that I have found very helpful. It focuses on dividend stock portfolios but also analyses hundreds of companies.
The editor just published a "regional bank spreadsheet" with data from dozens of reg…
