Any reason to own small-cap fund and mid-cap fund if you already have a total market fund?

Thank you.

Is Vanguard brokerage platform okay? Considering moving an existing account.

Thank you.

Do you think politicians who've been blowing up my phone will reach out with equal zeal

Posted by Zachary on 6/27/26 at 9:22 pm

... to ask me how they should legislate?

Or will they conveniently lose my phone number?

Please remind us again what the "T" in "TPS" stands for.

Can you imagine if politicians had to live in the real world?

Posted by Zachary on 6/26/26 at 7:44 pm

You know, like had to get a real job and actually do work?

And had to do well enough at it to keep their health insurance and benefits?

And were subject to Obamacare?

And didn't get to vote themselves raises?

And didn't get to entirely ignore the wishes of the people who gave them the job in the first place?

And had to tell the truth to those people?

"Career" and "politics" were never intended to be found in the same sentence.

Samsung Galaxy text retrieval?

Posted by Zachary on 6/23/26 at 9:46 pm

Apparently the storage on my Galaxy was almost at maximum, and then my whole history of text messages on the phone disappeared. Might anyone know whether there's a way to retrieve them? I am tech-illiterate.

Thanks so much.

Yes.

Reinvest.

Not solely, but it just seems there are better places for the money.

ETA: Tempted to sell, just wondering if I should be talked out of it, if for no reason other than I'd take a losd.

Follow-up thread: Would you sell your VDIGX?

Posted by Zachary on 6/12/26 at 7:26 pm

Have had a relatively modest amount for years. It's down and my sale would effect a capital loss. Anybody feel there's any reason to hold?
Thank you.

This isn't a great look for the Pentagon. They appear to claim apples are not oranges.

NOLA-area throwback: Clam shell parking lots and driveways courtesy of Lake Pontchartrain

Posted by Zachary on 6/8/26 at 7:51 pm

For those too young to remember, years ago parking lots, driveways, and even small roads were comprised of bleach-white clam shells, from clams that had been dredged from the lake. Parenthically, the dredging was stopped because it dirtied the lake. One of those seemingly-meaningless-yet-fond memories. I can still hear the "crunch" under my shoes... or the car's tires.

Statements by the defendant are not hearsay.

And neither are statements introduced to prove state of mind.
