@msf- re Morningstar Portfolio Risk Score Methodology : The site now seems to be working, at least at this time.

@Derf- No sir, I'm right there with @dtconroe in looking for possible backups for maturing CDs and Treasurys. Our Maximum Leader is going to force down Fed rates one way or another, and yields are going to fall, at least until reality catches up wit…
@Sven- an excellent question. With the recent reports of bright young college/university graduates in various fields finding employment to be very difficult right now I've been wondering if those minds are flexible enough to transfer into the new te…
Change of (whatever is left of) my mind-
After considering Junkster's comments in the Low Risk Bond OEFs for Maturing CDs thread I decided not to look at those particular bond funds (which have transaction fees at Schwab) at this time. So, thanks a…
OK, so it's likely that the South Koreans knew damned well what was going on. And the Feds tipped to it months ago. So the intelligent diplomatic response is to get ahold of the SK gov't people, say "hey, this isn't very cool- can you please take ca…
More on this: Excerpts from a current NPR report-
South Korea's foreign minister is considering a trip to the U.S. to meet with the Trump administration after hundreds of South Korean nationals were arrested in Georgia this week at an electric vehi…
I'm no trader, but a quick look at the GRZZX 5-year chart shows a steady decline from about $11.00 in 9/2020 to about $5.00 now. Maybe just to make the worth of the fund look a little better?

Capital Group did very well for us in our accumulation phase. I always did prefer their advisory group approach, split between analysts and managers. Not "brilliant", but competent and steady.
You guys are so far off base. For all financial questions AI considers only FD1000's flood of self-promoting internet verbiage (aka "garbiage"). AI hasn't yet figured out that "FD1000" = "Fake Data by the Thousands".
"Schwarzenegger was the Republican Governor from 2003 - 2011. These taxes and fees did not change."
Yes, he was. And he got my vote multiple times. A good and decent man. We could sure use a lot more like him in the Republican rabble today.
"I actually have accomplished market timing."
Yeah, yeah... you and your Dearest Leader have accomplished everything,
BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY.
When markets are mainly driven by people who don't really know all that much but see the market being driven by other people (who supposedly do know all that much) the whole thing just becomes a merry-go-round spinning faster and faster. Until it st…
Is it excessive to wish the death of a person who has absolutely no compunction while killing our democracy, day by day, piece by piece? Who has never seen a line that he didn't think that he (but no one else) is allowed to cross?
That's pretty powerful. And certainly helps to understand their total supinity.
"They are concerned solely with grabbing and retaining power"
As demonstrated by McConnells' totally arbitrary refusal to allow Obama to appoint a Supreme Court Justic…
10-4 on that. The chat service comes from many locations in the US, most likely to minimize waiting time for the customers. Every single person writes in excellent standard English, and there is never a "canned" response as you get from many oversea…
