As I assume almost all of you are aware, TD Ameritrade has been acquired by Schwab. I have IRAs at both companies (each between 200K-300K) and have been notified that my TDA account will be moved to Schwab on Memorial Day weekend. I’m just wondering if I should move that account elsewhere to get access […]

I am also a premium member of Seeking Alpha, and read many of the articles there on the stocks I either have in my portfolio or am considering. I also find some other aspects of the premium services there useful. But frequently, when I read an article about a stock I’m interested in, I find […]

I became aware not that long ago of the Unrelated Business Income (UBI) Tax in the USA tax code, I frankly find the IRS Publication 598 which is supposed to explain it very unclear with regard to how it applies to an IRA (or presumably to an ESA or HSA) – it’s probably reasonably clear […]

Apologies if this has been discussed, but I can’t find anything about it using the search box. I’ve noticed recently that the newsletter reviews no longer show any ratings.

On Microblog: Unrelated Business Income and IRAs?

Thank you both. Travis, the links certainly help. James, it sounds like when researching an investment, I can do an Edgar search to see if they have any K-1 filings, and if not, not worry about it. Appreciate the info, guys.[...]

On "Phase 2 of the Bakken Bonanza Is Underway"

What would concern me about the analyst estimates here are that according to the earnings tab on Schwab. 10 of the last 12 quarters have led to a negative surprise on earnings. (The other two quarters were one positive surprise and one no surprise.) Is th[...]
