re: MT CFPs - Exam prep question

Posted by BJ titsnbeer on 10/8/15 at 11:13 pm
I used Dalton and their live prep course. I found it well worth it. The prep was a good bit more difficult than the exam itself. What I worried about using free resources was how dated some of the material is. I don't know how Dalton does it but their information and material was very relevant and v...

re: LGILX - down 18% - WTF?!?!?

Posted by BJ titsnbeer on 12/16/14 at 9:48 pm
If I recall correctly you just purchased this fund. In the future you should avoid purchasing mutual funds near their capital gains distribution dates. for every share of LGILX you own (in a taxable account) you will owe around $.60 in tax on the distributions (15-20% on Long term, 25-39.6% on short...

Just a heads up the funds sub adviser changed from UBS to Blackrock last year. However the lead manager has been at the fund for a while, but his analyst team is not the same team that has given this fund past outperformance. This isn't to discourage you I just wanted you to keep that in mind. O...
