I owned Lehman bonds when they went bankrupt. Until that point, I was aware that could happen, but it was something that I did not worry too much about. Now, almost 20 years later, I see it as a sort of blip, compared to the fluctuations in stocks over the years, but seeing a bond go to zero definitely has a lasting effect on a person. It certainly changed my opinion of the bond credit ratings system.
I forgot to record (DVR) the Marx brothers movies. Will they be on again in the next few weeks? I have the TCM app and kanopy but want it on the dvr
I have to sign up for Medicare between now and 5 months from now, as I will be 65.
I was thinking of not signing up for part B, and getting FEP Blue Cross basic option.
I understand there is a penalty for getting part B if you wait, but not if you have a "qualified employer plan". Would I have to pay a penalty if I got part B after having a FEHB plan?
I have been retired for 6 months.
I used to be able to play a specific song on free Spotify, then a couple of months ago it would play "related" songs, now it will play the specific song again.
Can anyone help explain what is going on?
When I see the cost basis for my zero coupon bonds, they always add accrued interest to the cost basis.
I DO NOT want the accrued interest added. I want to see the actual cost basis.
For example, I purchased zero coupon Treasuries maturing this November for .978 in March. Today the value is .99, and it is showing a LOSS of 0.09% !!
I do not like this, and I suspect there are a lot of others who concur.
