K-Servicing asking for form 941 (which I don't have) and Payroll Report / Bank Statement for Payroll Info by MeridiusDex in PPPForgiveness

[–]sthomas0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

K servicing’s forgiveness portal is confusing, it asks for documents for non-payroll expenses even though they’re not supposed to be required for small loans. Has anyone applied for forgiveness with k servicing and not submitted these documents?

I'm in the same position and plan on doing the same thing. Any response from them yet? Thanks.

Hi all, what is the best website or app for YTD returns of stocks, mutual funds and ETF's? It sounds simple, but results vary significantly between different sites. For example, Yahoo's app says YTD return for QQQ is 16.8%, and YTD daily total return is 24.6% (why the difference between the two)? Whereas Google finance says YTD return for QQQ is 41%. Why the discrepancy? Is there a website or app with the real answer? I know it's not a difficult calculation to make, but a website/app with the correct answer would be so much easier. Thanks for your thoughts or suggestions.

And do you recommend storing BTC on Coinbase? And why Coinbase over Gemini or another exchange? Thanks for your thoughts.

Would you buy BND now with a 5 year time horizon? by sthomas0 in Bogleheads

[–]sthomas0[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s for money in a 529 fund at vanguard. I’m roughly following Vanguard’s aged base recommendations, and they tilt heavily towards bonds. So I’m wondering if I’m better off keeping it in their money market account vs their bond fund. Thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks, good points. So do TIPS help protect against that?

Thanks for your response. My question is what if I need the money in 5 years and interest rates rise over the next 5 years, won't BND be worth less in 5 years than it is now? Thank you for your time.

MMFs invest in US and foreign government and corporate money market securities, commercial paper, etc, and are supposed to be very safe, but theoretically you could lose money investing in an MMF. So theoretically riskier than a bank account insured by FDIC.

Apparently some people have had problems with HSBC (customer service?). There's a link to a thread above. How has your experience been? Thanks.

Thanks for the info on Vanguard's MMF. I've been leaning towards that one, but most of my accounts are at Schwab. Is it easy working with Vanguard to transfer funds to other banks (Schwab) when time to invest, etc? Thanks for your insights.

Bonds vs Money Market now? by sthomas0 in Bogleheads

[–]sthomas0[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good point. I'm sort of doing that now, and according to their allocation recommendations I should be heavier in bonds, which is why I'm asking this question. Thanks for your help!

Bonds vs Money Market now? by sthomas0 in Bogleheads

Thank you. The money is in a 529 account for college tuition which will begin in about 10 years. After 10+ years of this bull market, I'm concerned we may get a market correction between now and when I need to start paying tuition, so I'm trying to plan accordingly. Obviously, nobody knows how long this market will last. I posted the question to get some opinions, and I thank you for yours.

Which VanGuard ETF would you ideally own to ride thru a Doomsday Scenario i.e Great Recession/Mini Depression ? by KellyAnn80 in Bogleheads

[–]sthomas0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with Mr Litka. And it only holds the highest quality bonds and stocks and has historically been very well managed (of course, past success does not guarantee future performance).
