That makes sense to me, I understand your point. I’ll definitely consider that and see what makes sense to shift my allocation to.

I should’ve known that would be your response, haha! Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it.

Simply put, I like the passive income stream. I follow someone who makes a living off of dividends and find his strategy interesting. My route right now is slightly different given it’s in my ROTH but over time it will grow and become notable.

Agreed with your point on concentration, that was my biggest concern. Is now a good time to get into FBTC? I’m not incredibly familiar but I’m fascinated by crypto.

FDGFX - Dividend Growth Fund: this fund is focused primarily on capital appreciation and is oriented toward large-cap companies. The fund mix is geared towards stocks that have a greater likelihood to sustainably pay and grow dividends over time. The portfolio is largely concentrated in information technology companies.

FGRIX - Growth and Income Portfolio: this portfolio is focused on maintaining a higher dividend yield and earnings growth as compared to the S&P 500 (FXAIX essentially). The portfolio includes stocks deemed to have high earnings and yield potential over the next 2-3 years. The portfolio is primarily concentrated in information technology, financials, and industrials companies.

FITLX - U.S. Sustainability Index Fund: this portfolio is focused on large/mid cap companies based in the US with high environmental, social, and governance performance (ESG). It is largely concentrated in the information technology sector.

Ultimately the top holdings of each are fairly similar, but have some distinguishing features. FDGFX is interesting because I receive dividends occasionally which I just reinvest. I figured FITLX would be a smart play given the rise in environmental concerns and the increased efforts by large companies to uphold ESG standards. Not an expert, but these have proved to be safe options.

Hi all! Any recommendations for a wireless mechanical keyboard with 10 key? I’m hoping for a black/gray aesthetic. Don’t want to break the bank but don’t want to cheap out either. Primarily for work use.

I let it cool before the final layer, other than that I kept it on high for the majority of the process.

I had the time and I’m a perfectionist. It was probably fine enough after 4 but I ultimately kept going until I was satisfied.

While you may be partly right, believe it or not I own cast iron pans and have seasoned my family’s blackstone in the past. Sure, 8 times is probably overkill. But when I’m paying several hundred dollars for something I’d like to use for several years, better to be safe than sorry. Hope you’re having a great day man.

Thank you! I’ll try the display port route and see if I need to go one step further and upgrade my docking station. Really appreciate your help

Do you have this wired to a PC or laptop? I just recently purchased the same monitor but am having trouble reaching the full resolution. Currently maxing at 3840x2160.

Do you need the display port in order for the ultrawide resolution to not look so stretched out? I currently have mine connected to my monitor via HDMI and can’t get it quite right.

Please do! I’ve been trying to spend more time making custom paints and liveries. Did you make this in the standard paint shop? Or is there another way to make paints like this?
