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.
Yeah. Car batteries are expensive. You got to have them if they go bad.
But why do "average people" buy bottled water by the case? When did that become a necessity?

What lucky person gets to buy PACLX share class?
I can't find the difference between PACLX and PRWCX... ?????
The ER for PRWCX is 0.71 and for PACLX it is 0.97.

...But WHY?
Whoa. Hell, no. I could do without THAT!
EDIT TO ADD: No other reactions? Perth Tolle sounds quite savvy to me. The fund is performing well, though she's not listed as a Manager. She's running the company itself, I suppose?
Smart, convincing. She knows what she's talking about. She's tuned into what capitalism is all about: self-interest and greed. Words we never use. But making money while operating under an autocratic regime is always going to be hobbled by the polit…
Thinking vs. feeling. Remember the old Mazda commercials? "It just feels right." People get fed a line of junk, and buy into it because it serves their preconceived partisan purposes, whether or not any of it is fact-based.
Yes. Oversimplifying. Seems to me the proper historical marker is the period of months leading up to Israel's unilateral decree of Statehood.
I'll let Archbishop Chacour tell it:
I'm 85, and have never voted for anyone other than the Democratic presidential candidate. For the first time in my life I would vote for someone other than Biden, specifically to protest his tolerance of the Gaza situation. Unfortunately, my only ot…
Have not heard from "Sarge" RonO lately in here. He's gone quiet. I recall he was saying that if the Orange Abomination gets re-elected, we're pretty much doomed. AGREED. So, he's running neck-and-neck with Joe, and RFK, Jr. is also in the mix. A re…
Gee... I wonder where the 50%+ that think the economy/market stinks or otherwise are pessimistic get their news from?
They form uninformed opinions, clearly. Financially illiterate, they hear bits and pieces and extrapolate in a wrong-headed direct…
TS is VOLATILE lately. (ADR.) Today, 22 May, is dividend payday. Jayzuz, the stock has been whip-sawing for days. I'm not buying. My cost basis is crazy-low compared to more recent share price. It's brutal lately, the ups and downs. I've seen a $40 …
EVA Air. (Taiwanese.)
Many years ago. Late getting into Manila from Cebu. Long story. And Manila is the worst airport in the world, by the way. My ticket was with China (Taiwan) Air, with a stop in Taipei. But the next one out, from Manila, was not …
Right outa school, my youngest brother was hired by State of Massachusetts to be a traveling Bank Examiner. He was hired away from that job to work at a particular bank in western Massachusetts. I think I heard a report on PBS Newshour just a couple…
Relentlessly scouring the investible world for something. Bell Canada BCE is way-undervalued, per M* at -24% disc. HQ in Verdun-Montreal. Of course the geniuses at Schwab will not allow div. reinvestment. But the share price has dropped to the point…
Thanks, guys. @Mark how the hell did you find the NAV in order to compare it to share price??? I've looked! @davfor

Found the chart which confirms what you told me. But I can find no actual NUMBERS. Anyhow, I'm gla…
Pretty nuts. Basically, you're saving the $$$ for your heirs or maybe even for THEIR heirs. Like a long-term annuity, but you see zero benefit, yourself.
Customer "Service" EVERYWHERE is..... an abortion. Management wants it that way. You need something? Please do our work for us, on the website. But first, learn how to read the Webmaster's mind in order to find the proper link. Then, guess at which …
They have repeatedly already laughed in the face of remedial requirements imposed on them. Why would they start now? Some people need to be replaced. Those same people need to GO TO JAIL.
Hee hee hee hee hee hee. LOL.
Ya, I'm seeing many references recently to maxed-out credit cards. And most consumers are not wealthy. (Hell, most consumers should be deemed to be too stupid to even be allowed to VOTE!) What would happen to the eco…
@Crash
But there's a wall around wifey's Trad IRA.
What does this mean?
Hello, @catch22.
There are a few angles going on. Neither of us has any earned income. Not officially, I mean. I don't think we are even eligible to put anything more into eith…
SWVXX: Thanks, @MikeM. I recall your previous, there. I'm just choosing the security of the MMKT fund which is focused on Treasuries and the like. Good information for me in your post. Thank you.
With respect to Schwab IRAs why not just transfer a small amount of whatever's there now to a new MMKT account within the IRA? In fact both of our IRAs consist, at the moment, of nothing but MMKT accounts currently paying about 5%. And of course tho…
Week-end is here. Still no execution on the Buy Limit Order. EPRT. I'm swimming against the current. Methinks I'll cancel the Order and take the cash I've held back to cover the trade, and just put it in SNVXX to earn over 5% for me, until there is …
Alternatively, you can always sell something worth $0.87 in your account that does not have a transaction fee and then invest the $0.13 + $0.87 = $1 in the chosen fund...
Giggle. I see what you mean. Is it worth my time? Will they PERMIT an .87 cent…
