    Television on Wi-Fi?

    If you have high speed internet service you can stream Directv over it using most modern streaming devices (i.e. $30 Roku). An alternative is the Directv Gemini Air device which is proprietary to Directv, but offers a remote that is more like a traditional TV remote than a remote on most modern...

    Hurricane "Ian" may be heading for us here in Florida

    We were vacationing on Sanibel and evacuated Tuesday afternoon. Made it out by that much. I don't think anybody expected the causeway to fail so spectacularly. We'll be back as soon as we can, but it may be a long time.

    Ways to convince friends to invest in the market and/or F.I.R.E?

    Me too. For the cases in which you are stuck with no choice other than watching a video (Youtube) to get information you are seeking, you can use the keyboard shortcuts to navigate the video. Just a few examples: - Pressing > while holding the shift key speeds the video in increments of 25% -...

    Mutual Funds and Taxes

    I was waiting to see if anyone else caught that and I am glad to say that at least one person did and cared enough to post about it. There are specific requirements for a dividend to be considered as a qualified dividend. From https://www.investopedia.com/terms/q/qualifieddividend.asp 1. The...

    Dividend stock vs bonds

    This is an observation that I and probably others share. But -- and there is always a but -- ERD50 is usually right. In fact he has been wrong only one time in recorded history. It was when he thought he was wrong but he was really right. ;) Life is short. Let's spend the rest of it...

    Another inappropriate and uncalled for comment. The forum rules say to be nice. Is this a nice comment? And coming from a "moderator emeritus"! 1.7% WR and would .2 % if we started SS which we have not yet. We can afford to do whatever we want to do. You spend yours however you want to...

    Hired a FA

    I don't doubt that some have had bad experiences. You failed to provide details. What was bought and sold, on what dates, and in what types of accounts. All you have is a "story". Until you give the details all you have is FUD. I am not saying that all FA's are good. Sure, some of them...

    Hired a FA

    stephenson, It sounds like you think this is funny. If you cannot provide the details, then all you have are "stories" -- untold "stories". We live in a "buyer beware" world, and this is unfortunate. There are people in just about any profession who will rip you off if you allow it. This...

    I don't think Midpack was "just" being sarcastic either. Because you wrote that you were not sure, I will clear it up for anyone who is reading. I was dead serious with my comment. Slightly drifting here: There are different ways of doing things. We all make our own decisions. I will not...

    Hired a FA

    So interesting: Would you like to get excruciatingly specific about these "horror stories" that you have heard? Can you provide these "horror stories" in razor sharp detail? Precisely what was bought, what was sold, in what type of accounts, and on what dates and for for how much? Can you...

    You may be correct, but it seems that those who "can't keep an open mind" are in the majority here. Go back through all the forums posts. I dare you. Keep your own records -- absolutely. I reconcile EVERYTHING.

    All this . . . and some here complain about the price of financial advice which, unlike healthcare, is 100% optional for everybody . . . doesn't make much sense. :(
