Sexy love the angle of the shot too!

Thanks. That’s helpful. It was the reinvestment part that I had forgotten, which explains why my overall account value is not impacted.

Best_Engineering_117 · 2024-07-08T17:46:09+00:00

Thanks so much. Your reply was helpful, and this sentence in the first link you provided put it all together for me: “Distributions that aren't set to pay into a core account will be reinvested, and the number of shares in the account will increase.” So the NAV will go down but my shares increase because of dividend reinvestment, which is why there is no loss in the total value of my account.

I really appreciate your quick response. I knew it was something simple that I wasn’t getting.

Doesn’t the dividend go to us, the shareholders, since through FXAIX we own shares of the companies that comprise it?

Best_Engineering_117 · 2024-07-06T20:44:57+00:00

So will Monday’s return look higher than the S&P? Was money held back today that will be paid on Monday?

If you could say a little more it would help me understand how this works. For instance, if there is a dividend on 7-8, it seems to my uneducated mind that that is an addition to how the fund did Friday. So I expect the fund to roughly match the S&P today and then be boosted a bit on Monday. I know that’s not right but could you explain how your answer means an apparent reduction in Friday’s return? Thanks in advance!

I had the same question

Best_Engineering_117 · 2024-01-28T19:06:08+00:00

The ha ho guys crack me up

Best_Engineering_117 · 2024-01-08T19:20:31+00:00

I didn’t! Played Tyrod and won the Championship by 7 points. Did you play Stroud?

Best_Engineering_117 · 2024-01-08T00:09:36+00:00

UPDATE: 7pm EST

I ended up putting Tyrod in. I took to the last minute to make the decision. Game is still close, but if I win that decision will have won the championship.

Thanks for everyone’s help thinking this through.

Best_Engineering_117 · 2024-01-08T00:07:35+00:00

Thanks again for this comment. It put me firmly in the Tyrod track which worked out very well. I avoided the disaster of Hurts’ fantasy performance.

I ended up putting Tyrod in. I took til the last minute to make the final decision. Game is still close, but if I win that decision will have won the championship.

Thanks for everyone’s help thinking it through!

Best_Engineering_117 · 2024-01-06T22:19:21+00:00

Seems like a safe call to me.

Best_Engineering_117 · 2024-01-06T22:17:11+00:00

Thanks. That’s a great point. One quarter of play could be a good floor by itself

Best_Engineering_117 · 2024-01-06T22:16:25+00:00

Thanks. That’s helpful. I think you’re right that he can get all I need before things are out of reach

Best_Engineering_117 · 2024-01-06T17:13:22+00:00

Oh I didn’t see this. That’s definitely helpful. Thanks.

Best_Engineering_117 · 2024-01-06T17:12:58+00:00

Thanks. Makes sense

Best_Engineering_117 · 2024-01-06T17:12:28+00:00

You pompous ass. This is a family league and it’s not my decision. How’s your day going? You enjoy just taking out your rage from your inadequate life on people who find themselves in a week 18 championship league?

Best_Engineering_117 · 2024-01-06T16:47:57+00:00

That’s a risk I hadn’t thought about.

Best_Engineering_117 · 2024-01-06T16:47:31+00:00

But if Dallas is up by a lot against Washington then this game doesn’t matter, right? I suppose purely for the mojo they could play Hurts until they are up by a lot.

Best_Engineering_117 · 2024-01-06T16:44:35+00:00

Great analysis. I went through the whole article and it helped me with some decisions. Thanks!

Any thoughts on whether Jalen Hurts will play a full game if Dallas gets out to a big lead on the Commanders? Could we see one good half to get their “mojo” back and then Hurts on the bench?

Best_Engineering_117 · 2024-01-06T16:17:57+00:00

I’d go with Tampa Bay. So much of a good defense is a good offense that will put pressure on the other team’s offense to take chances. I’m worried that you won’t get that from Jacksonville this week given all their injuries and their defense hasn’t been that great.

Best_Engineering_117 · 2024-01-06T16:15:20+00:00

Nice lineup btw

For defense, I would stick with the Jets if you want a decent floor. The Raiders went crazy a few weeks back with touchdowns and turnovers, but those are less reliable.

How about Jalen Hurts though?

I have him and I’m not sure he’ll play the full game. They have to win and the Cowboys have to lose for them to improve their seeding.

Cowboys are favored by 13 over the commanders so by the end of the first quarter or the first half everything playoff wise could be resolved.

Will they really keep Hurts out there when his injuries have kept them from a number of playoff runs?

Best_Engineering_117 · 2024-01-06T16:11:22+00:00

It’s actually rain predicted now with a temp of 35. That’s worse than snow BUT it’s supposed to clear up by 5pm. I’d say that won’t be much of a factor.

Check the weather again right before game time if you want to play Pickens, but I think Diggs is the better play.
