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.
Meanwhile back on FD's presumably gated ranch - If you're angry about the Minnesota day care fraud, the cases below will, or at least should, really upset you but I'm betting that he will ignore, deny & dismiss them.

"In Minnesota, loosely regulated systems allowed the creation of thousands of fraudulent businesses by the Somalis, resulting in the loss of billions in taxpayer dollars."
WRONG! That enterprise was founded and directed by an American, Aimee Bock.

Don't know if it's white or not but a blue whale's poop can weigh as much as 4 tonnes making it the second largest piece of shit in the world just behind trump. It would be sweet to see him hit with that.
Well, talk about a Christmas rush @DrVenture! So much for slowing down as we get older. Happy to see that recovery is progressing and hoping for a successful outcome all around. Take care of yourselves.
"...2 feet of ice and snow on the cab of my pickup recently." Ain't it the truth!? Makes for some fun driving when you come up behind a semi & trailer out on the freeway. I move up cautiously and then go like all get out to get around them. Ther…
@hank - have you looked at the SAI (Statement of Additional Information). I'm not sure if T. Rowe would put that info there but it might be worth a peek.
Not a good week or time here either. "Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Cal.), in June, was manhandled, thrown to the ground, and hustled out of the room when he simply tried to question Homeland Security Department Secretary Kristi Noem about federal immigratio…
As Christmas Day is almost over it's time to start assembling the ingredients for Hoppin John. "Hoppin' John is one of those classic Southern dishes that come with as many versions, stories, and flavors as there are cooks. At its core, however, Hopp…
"'The minute you load money onto one of those cards, the crooks are notified, and they instantly drain it, sometimes even before you leave the store,' said Amy Nofziger, director of fraud victim support at the AARP Fraud Watch Network."
Well that's…
To demonstrate how out of touch I am with current music I have never heard of most of these artists much less the tunes selected. Larkin Poe is The closest I come but they didn't make this cut. I offer it here for the curious. The article is shareab…
Sure, I can see excluding certain investment types, just not the ones listed in this article. Not to disparage anyone but I think one can be selective and do well.
1. Dedicated REIT. I own 'O' Realty Income. First bought in 2009 @ $22/share, added …
Being self-employed I never invested with them because of the front end load. My loss perhaps. I am glad that I locked unto their Capital Group managed ETF's however.
Well, I don't own any I-Bonds and I'm not compelled to ditch the others mentioned based on this report. The author seems to lean toward Capital Appreciation focused positions which might be appropriate over an investment journey but maybe not so muc…
Useless for me as well. A quarter or so of my portfolio ends up in the 'other' category and I've never been sure about their placements of CEF's. Gosh it's not like CEF's are a new thing. However I don't think that Fidelity covers CEF's very well in…
"Walter Cronkite is rolling over in his grave and I'm sure Dan Rather isn't too pleased either."
I'm fairly certain Edward Murrow is right there with Walter and I'd love to hear what Andy Rooney would have had to say.
I'm not surprised at all based on past lists. I only wish I had the time (and maybe the assistants) to take it all in. My library 'to read' stack is getting ridiculous.
