You should look up a prospectus and start investigating all that. They should have a breakdown of their fund allocations somewhere.

I agree ^.^
The prospectus has all of the detailed information.
For a quick easy-to-read overview, however, sites such as morningstar.com and fidelity.com (even for non-Fidelity products), can be very helpful.

Good luck ^.^

Do you just let your broker handle whatever money you put in each month or do you handle it directly?

Directly ^.^

Meanwhile, some friends like to go further and play around with individual stock trading, but I just stick to mutual funds. ^.~

Poster: hanging out a little at school doesnt mean that she will be interested. Sometimes its enough sometimes t isnt

To me it seems like you think that when a girl is nice and friendly it means she is into you that way.

Realistically, we are nice for many reasons

We like you, but not like that
We dont dislike you and are nice in general
We think you have a fragile ego
Youre just nice in general

If you have any debt, please use that money to pay it down first ^.^
(or better yet pay it off),
before considering anything like CDs.
Doing so gives you a guaranteed return, of whatever the interest rate on the debt is/was.
Almost certainly going to be better than whatever pittance the CD was going to pay (as wolfy42 mentioned).

Oh, and on a side note, is it true a CD is an account to where you put the money in there, but cant touch it for x amount of years while it gains interest while on the flip side with only a savings account, gains little interest but you can withdrawal it anytime?

(As far as I know,) yes ^.^
But in the current environment, neither one pays more than a negligible amount of interest. In my opinion, it's not worth locking up your money for that long of a time (what if there's an emergency in the meantime?), for the dollar or two of interest which the CD would have paid.

Sure, it's a stripper name, but it's still a good name. Same for Cristal/Krystal ("Cristal, like the champagne." "Cristal sounds like a hoe's name. Might you be a hoe, Cristal, like the champagne?")

Ho doesn't have an "e" in it, unless in plural form. It's simply "ho."

Or unless you're referring to the gardening implement, in which case it always has an "e". ^.^

To tell the truth, I haven't even glanced at MSNBC for a long time.
But ever since the election cycle started, CNN rebranded itself as the Anti-Trump Propaganda Network.

Absolutely not, of course.

I feel that Trump -- so far -- is the best US president of the past half-century, at least. ^.^
He has admittedly been disappointing in some ways, yes ...
but all of the other presidents (at least, since and not including Eisenhower) have been clearly worse.
And some of them, far worse. Such as Obama, the worst of all.

Zeus wrote:

No. Obama was a monster with good PR. He embodied the worst of GWB, but was praised in the press even as his reckless policy tore this country apart.

Given that all Trump has to do is not mass-murder civilians with an illegal drone program, arm terrorists to overthrow governments, and have his men torture the whistleblowers he manages to catch (heroes like Chelsea Manning), it's almost impossible for Trump to be a worse president. Frankly, I thought GWB set a pretty low bar but Obama limbo'd right under it.

My feelings exactly.

Hi everyone ^.^

I've seen a couple of recent topics/polls here about similar matters (such as "Are you right-wing or left-wing?") -- I figured I'd post one that I had found, which goes into more detail, and which I feel is more interesting ^.^

.

I'm afraid it's quite USA-centric, sorry -- some or most of the questions might not feel relevant to people elsewhere.

It depends completely on the issue in question. ^.^;

I range all the way from quite far left, to quite far right, along with the many various points in between -- all depending on the issue being discussed.

In general I'm much closer to populist nationalist isolationist, or in one word "Trumpist", ^.~
than I am either to orthodox leftist or to orthodox rightist -- although I certainly do disagree with Trump on several points as well.

Speaking of matters of this sort....

Pew Research very recently released a new edition of their "political typology" series:
http://www.people-press.org/2017/10/24/political-typology-reveals-deep-fissures-on-the-right-and-left/
http://www.npr.org/2017/10/24/559774933/2-party-system-americans-might-be-ready-for-8

the quiz itself:
http://www.people-press.org/quiz/political-typology/

Of the nine categories, the quiz placed me in "Country First Conservatives", and I feel that that's a reasonably good fit (except I certainly wouldn't call myself a "conservative" overall);
but I feel I'm also very very close to "Market Skeptic Republicans". An extremely close second place, virtually a tie.

Both "Core Conservatives" and "Solid Liberals" are alike in being quite different from me -- so again, I'm certainly neither "orthodox rightist" nor "orthodox leftist", just as I had said at the beginning.

But both "New Era Enterprisers" on the "right", and "Opportunity Democrats" on the "left", are both definitely and by far the furthest away from me; essentially my polar opposites.

Pew releases a new edition of this every few years or so.
In their past two editions, I did fit "Hard-Pressed Skeptics" quite well in their 2014 one, and "Disaffecteds" quite well in their 2011 one; both groups being in or near the middle, due to their mix of views considered "left" and views considered "right", crucially along with many views that don't fit either.

.

So, again, certainly not "left-wing" overall and also certainly not "right-wing" overall; so I didn't vote, sorry. ;.;
