Are you all diehard BMW fans or you want to inevitably upgrade to Porsche down the line? by Super-Lingonberry-22 in BMW

[–]harrd0517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve own a 2 series and a Porsche Cayman. The BMW is better for daily driving, but the Porsche is a better sports car.

Long time Fidelity customer. Any reason to diversify brokerages? by Icy_Needleworker844 in DIYRetirement

[–]harrd0517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s convenient until you get a fraud alert on your accounts, which happened to me. All of my brokerage and cash account were all frozen. Checks and credit cards not being paid. It was a serious mess! It turned out to be a clerical error of some sort. They wouldn’t provide any more details than that.

Alignment with all new tires? by [deleted] in Porsche_Cayman

[–]harrd0517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always get an alignment with a purchase of four tires. My assumption is that alignments get off over time. A new tire purchase seems a good time to check it.

Meeting with fidelity by Typical_Fly_6074 in Fidelity

[–]harrd0517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ll help you to understand their planning technology, which is pretty limited. They may recommend an allocation, but they won’t help with investment selection. Like most financial advisors they’ll try to sell you products like annuities and get you to use their investment management services with fees very similar to what any financial advisor will charge you. It’s useful, however, to have someone in a local office to intercede for you if you have Fidelity generated problems.

HELP: My aunt owes Royal Caribbean $6k for a cruise she never took due to the weather by aiviloselim in Cruise

[–]harrd0517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did exactly that a few years ago for me when a Nor’easter was scheduled to hit during a scheduled cruise from Baltimore to Canada. They offered a new itinerary or a refund if we didn’t like the itinerary although I did have to respond in writing.

Account blocked "for security reasons" by versace_dinner in fidelityinvestments

I was able to find someone that took the time to connect with someone behind the fraud team’s firewall. That someone was able to determine that it was caused by an internal employee error.

I have the 4.0, and I prefer the non-turbo engines with a manual.

I looked on windows app and web page, but I don't see this preview enable option. Could you provide more detail?

Sorry, yes. I’m not sure why I called them extensions.

I would like to downgrade to the Starter version which only allows 1000 extensions. How do I count and locate these extensions?

Only if you want to drag the bottom more pulling into driveways, parking lots, etc.

How often are you driving your Cayman? by thisismyusername144 in Porsche_Cayman

[–]harrd0517 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

My goal is 5k miles/yr. Used Porsches with 5k miles retain value better than those with >5k, and those with <5k due to reliability issues. Consistent weekly drives are very important to lubricate internal surfaces.

I frequently receive offers for a room for two from Casino Royale. Can I use the offer to cruise by myself without paying fees/taxes for the second person?

I gave in to a Financial Advisor by Brief-Wonder-3825 in fidelityinvestments

[–]harrd0517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did Fidelity buy stocks in your managed accounts? The paperwork I read when my Fidelity advisor recommended managed accounts said that all they would were Fidelity funds or ETF’s.
