    Twitter getting added to S&P 500; Stock jumps 4% afterhours

    Received DSP invitation today. Why I've decided not to participate

    @resjudicata Don't know. My email was from ETRADE @ e . etradefinancial . com , will that help you find it? Gotta edit a few spaces out of that to get past the AutoDeletor, though.

    Borrow from 401k to invest in a general investment account?

    @nikki225 Sure. Are you seriously saying, "I'd rather invest only $6000 per year in my IRA, than $19,000 in my 401(k) -- or $25K in both"? (Hint: If you want to have $1.5 million in your retirement plan when you stop working, putting away $6K/yr ain't gonna get you there.)

    @newway I agree with you, plus I'm a natural-born contrarian to boot; together, those struck me as an Opportunity.

    Received DSP invitation today. Why I've decided not to participate

    I was going to, really. Just for shiggles. I have money I can afford to lose, and this is what qualifies as "fun" for some of us. "What If...", y'know? But I've decided not to. Reason One: I decided to take more seriously the fact that there is no lockup even for existing shareholders...

    Investing in Canadian Banks

    @striv2love If you have a Dodge minivan, a Honda minivan, a Toyota minivan, and a Ford minivan, would you say you have a diversified transportation fleet? Try to go with one or two "best in class". No need to scattershot the entire sector.
