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.
The political discourse vis a vis the two candidates is fine...they are public figures. The posts that target other board members or non-public figures.. ie, "The Dumbest States of America" are not. Just my opinion. I think a lot of people are bored…
@Sven Exactly. Easy to make a profit in ANYTHING if you invest at the bottom. Let's see what happens in the future...ie, after the Fed stops pumping money into the system...whenever that will be. Just seems like prices on everything are stretched ri…
It's not a fund per se, but Schwab has introduced "stock slices", where he could invest as little as $5 to purchase a partial share in companies such as Amazon, Google, Facebook, Netflix, McDonald's, Electronic Arts, Nike, Home Depot, Target and Ap…
I believe you can purchase these if you work with a financial advisor who uses Schwab for managed accounts...doesn't have to be a Schwab financial advisor.
It seems like fund flows are of equal or greater importance than actual holdings, particularly when it comes to illiquid bonds. Too many funds getting slammed at once for redemptions.
Yes, most TRP funds are NTF at Schwab. Ok, so talked to someone at a branch who said she was helping out hq because they're getting slammed. She didn't know what I was talking about (yikes!), but she was very pleasant and got someone who did. Yes, y…
Should have explained it more clearly. Need to transfer shares from closed fund at one brokerage to account in different brokerage. I was hoping PRWCX would re-open during the sell-off...so far, not so good.
Went in middle of November. Still not one concrete suggestion from my "team", despite 3 meetings and assurances that they don't charge a fee for managing cash. Most troubling is they actually took their "advisor fee"...pro rata...directly from my Ro…
Schwab Private Client took quarterly "advisor" fees from both my brokerage account and my Roth IRA. For what, I don't know...it's been in a money market account since I deposited it. I have gotten zero guidance and my "advisor" said they don't charg…
Your situation sounds similar to mine. Recently came into a lot of cash, 63 years old and market seems high. Have been a loyal Schwab customer for 16 years, so started there...already have done the estate planning elsewhere and significant other doe…
I should have posted it elsewhere, I now agree; I had not sufficiently considered territoriality and encroachment or thread-hijacking. Apologies.
Interesting that you imagine your place here as more child than peer.
Informing you is antagonizing,…
Hi, gang! So, I guess you figured out that I wasn't returning to the other thread, so you'd come over here...welcome! And @davidrmoran, thanks for the link to the SOURCE that has nothing to do with Medishare...but you probably worked hard to find i…
@ Members Members: The top scorer(s) in each game retain the value of their winnings in cash, and return to play in the next match. Non-winners receive consolation prizes. Since May 16, 2002, consolation prizes have been $2,000 for the second-place…
@shipwreckedandalone Seniors Jeopardy is a great idea! No troublesome categories like "Pop Culture" or "Before and After"! My husband hates "Before and After"...says it's not trivia, so shouldn't be on the show.
@crash
Yeah I've been pondering what to do with SFGIX. I could take its underperformance when EM was doing well last year thinking that it would perform better in a down market. But that hasn't been the case. I've been thinking of selling. Curi…
larryB, on a previous post on this thread, you wrote: "nothing can be gained from name-calling", yet in your response to me...well, it's not even a response to me...just some feather-fluffing by the sycophants...you call me a "trumpanista".
I scou…
@shipwreckedandalone Same. And your theory about Final Jeopardy was spot on with tonight's show! The other thing I have noticed...and I might be wrong because I'm usually multi-tasking when we watch it...is that the prize money accrued by the two…
And "cheapshots"....again, YOUR definition. "Don't post such shallow swiping"...and then you try to tell me that it's not your rules....seems like rules to me!
Maybe you could use a little introspection and re-read some of the political posts...do…
try and respond substantively. No one is dissing you.
And in the past, whenever I HAVE provided a source, THAT gets "dissed"...the ONLY sources that are not are the ones that you and your cohort deem as legitimate....and don't say that it's not tr…
My biggest complaint about Jeopardy is the phrasing of some of the questions...sometimes it is ambiguous exactly what they're looking for. I always wanted to be a contestant, but I think that window is closing fast...if not already on lockdown. My …
Yeah, right --- well, if you really did, you would know there is nothing there, investigated to death, and beyond, and nothing there.
In your opinion, of course...and on this board, it seems like nothing else matters. You and your cohort run the s…
I bet you actually don't know any of the facts about Whitewater, Clinton foundation, Benghazi, etc. Such a smart-sounding guy otherwise, sometimes. And good on you for raising a tough and resourceful child.
How dare you insult me like this? Such a …
Actually, yes, I do...and your comment is semi-passive/aggressive. Maybe you should check out your buddy's comment above...nothing to say about that???
