Oh man, the Dow must matter to someone otherwise why is it still a market marker after all these years? Also I'm not so sure there are any serious analysts but there are motivated ones.
"A president valuing personal loyalty over professional competence would no longer face any institutional resistance."
Can anyone guess which finger I'm holding up?
@MikeM: Thanks. Just the kind of info I was looking and hoping for. The rising markets comment gives me a bit of a pause however. I think I'll wait a bit before jumping in. I'm uneasy over what we might be looking at over the next 30-days and beyond.
@BenWP: +1. If only they'd make it a BOGO.
So anyway if my math is correct GQEPX was down (7.0%) on the day $24.43 - 1.71 of which $1.04/sh was LTGC and $0.67 (2.74%) was due to market puke. By waiting an extra day I received/saved an additional $0…
@BenWP: noticed the distribution and waited a day (yesterday) to buy. Although it's held in a Roth I wanted to remove any source of confusion between market action and distributions paid.
I've got a major supply of sticks. How many did you want? FREE + S&H.
As @rforno alluded to one analyst I follow noted "You can't really buy energy, utilities, healthcare, REITs, industrials, transports, etc. since many of the component stocks …
So when the patient dies and/or becomes a vegetable will the doctors, administrators and medical care facilities who sign off on this nonsense be charged with crimes or will they receive an official okey-dokey? Why even have doctors and care facilit…
In case anyone is wondering:
"Who appointed the current postmaster general?
On May 6, 2020, the bipartisan USPS Board of Governors, all selected by Trump and confirmed by the Senate, announced DeJoy's appointment as postmaster general and CEO, desp…
I wonder if all the little mom & pop drugstores that were taken out by the likes of Walgreens and CVS are having a bit of a laugh at this development. Still sucks usually for the current employees and the folks who depend on these stores remaini…
NIMBY please. Y'all do your fluctuating in your own spaces.
Staying with the topic:
Jefferies says the Russell 2000 will reach 2,715 by 2025 year-end SA article
@Old_Joe - if you are referring to that new faux gov dept then that's correct.
If you're referring to the crypto coin, well I know even less about that.
Naw, nut for this luddite. Even to day I would rather hand hold a physical newspaper, research article, book etc than peruse it on a screen of any sort. I'm not as opposed to the technology progression as I am fond of the comfort of the old way. But…
@catch22 - well Crash does hype his much younger wife so you know...
And I have nothing against the Capital Group whatsoever. I never bought them because my only option(s) were to pay the front end loads (self-employed and my boss was a cheapskate)…
@Crash - I'm not sure if you've looked at all the funds you'd care to but maybe take a peek at FBALX (Fid. Bal. Fund) and/or FPURX (Fid. Puritan). They both have a similar risk profile to ABALX but come with higher total 10-yr returns and lower ER's…
Just a suggestion - I definitely do not consider this question 'Off-Topic' and I think that you should edit (change) it to at. least 'Other Investing.'
You'll get more eyes on it that way as many folks steer away from the Off-Topic category just be…
Right. And I vow to win the highest PowerBall lottery amount in 2025. One guess who has better odds of success. I wish him well but..... If stopping is the chosen path why is he waiting to get confirmed first? Why not just stop now?
"Sometimes a rubber stamping board is better than a dysfunctional, and mediocrity promoting board."
I guess I've always thought they were the same thing,
It's interesting that folks are more outraged by a president pardoning his son for mickey mouse crimes than electing a felon for president. As we used to say in the military it's FUBAR.
