So sorry you have fallen ill. Sending prayers for a quick recovery. Keep us informed as to your progress on beating this awful virus. Try to stay positive, you are correct — most people fully recover. I think I’d skip the news, too. Nothing there but the blame game. Be aware of current...

Thanks for the help. There's not much in the fund (25,000) but I definitely need to look for something with less expenses.

FFFFX is the fund I have.

I'd appreciate your thoughts on this fund. Thank you.

It truly looks like a dream come true! Congrats and enjoy.

Time to turn the TV off. Ouch, this is painful.

Anybody use this? Does it do a good job critiquing portfolios? Thanks.
