From the above posts, looks like the answer is NO.
She makes Bill C.'s choice of Monica L. look like a supermodel in comparision, but both were banging the help. At least good ole President Kennedy was bedding an attractive famous movie star.
You're joking, yes? You want to diversify among asset classes. Are you at least holding Wellington in a tax advantaged (IRA / 401k) account? It spits out way too much in dividends (and only ~50% qualified dividends) to hold in a taxable account. Plug VWELX at Morningstar > Tax: it's 5 and 10...
You can do an "In-Kind Account Transfer" from your brokerage to Vanguard and then convert to Admiral shares. If your brokerage allows you may be able to convert your Vanguard Investor shares to the corresponding ETF and thus receive the lower (same as Admiral share) expense ratio.
lothar, I...
"Guilty" is the wrong sentiment as you had no hand in their layoff. Remember that whatever feelings you have, it's far better to be working than to be in their shoes looking for a job and worrying about their bills.

KIS 2011 at Fry's was a 'free' after rebate offer. I still pay tax on the original $60 and wait and pray the rebates come in. So 'free' is hard price-wise.
Curses! Darn Fry's balked at price matching Buy.com with the lame excuse that 'their price' is cheaper after rebate. (Even suggested they cut out the UPC code so I couldn't mail in rebate.) Guess they really didn't want to lose money on the sale and was looking for any excuse not to honor their...
Thanks. Hadn't checked buy.com since they collect tax. Amazon is a little more. Really hate the rebate route and this is two forms for $60 total. Going back to Fry's to see if they'll refund the amount for a return. Otherwise I'll take their $10 price match drop (and $50 rebates) which occured...

Seemed obvious to me that Watson (as Ken J stated on the Washington Post link - "to cancel out Watson's big buzzer advantage") had a buzzer...
Heard on radio that my local Borders is one of those closing. Wondering if that means that they'll discount their stock of if it'll just be shipped to another store.
Purchased 2011 to replace 2010 which about to expired. Hate going thru the 2 rebate hoops procedure (sending 'copy of installation disk) and on verge of just returning to Fry's.
Anyone care to talk me out of being a lazy ass and to just send in the rebates? Or recommend a replacement software...
You still got raped for $200. Sure $200 sounds like a deal coming down from $750 but that's still $200 more than you should have paid since you shouldn't have been fined in the first place.
classic financial mistake
Sure, most anyone would jump at a chance to board the Enterprise but you don't know if you'd instead up on an Twilight Zone's episode TO SERVE MAN.
Is that any different than males with vaginas?
I was hearing TRAMPlication
Surprised that he actually remembers your package from the 28th of Dec. You actually spoke with the mailman? And the time stamp for the DC was around the time he usually gets to your place, right? File a claim with the USPS? What's the point of filing the missing package claim? Is the USPS gonna...
13.89% - Thrift Savings Plan L2040 Fund
16.15% - 12-Month Personal Rate of Return
Think that is of this today's date and not end of 2010. Annual report not yet available and haven't done the ROR calc myself although I'm up 17% minus all contributions - so ~15% is about right. If I beat the...

StoneReader: In summary, a new investor would definitely want to buy VGTSX over VFWIX to get a broader diversification (98% vs 85% of the investable international market) at a lower expense ratio (0.2% vs 0.4% ER). An existing investor in...
Ha! Boss said mute when she meant moot during an office talk a few days ago. At the bogle site, I wrote principle when I meant principal.
The above underlined and the suggestion of paying an additional 0.75% - 1.50% in extra fees on top of the Expense Ratios is a head scratcher. Given the OP's...
E.R. = 0.18% - VTSMX - Vanguard Total Stock Market Index
E.R. = 0.22% - VBMFX - Vanguard Total Bond Market Index
E.R. = 0.40% - VFWIX - FTSE All-World ex-US Index
Since he asked you to look it over why now suggest the above and demonstrate the E.R. cost difference?
E.R. - 1.32% - PRMSX...
Your first paragraph is correct. The point is that your previous post #13 is just dead wrong. And I do not agree with your last statement. Your post #15 is misguided in that the P.O. has some liability in leaving a package outside of the mailbox. Collecting on that is another matter. And yes the...
