Down goes the Dow

here's what happened:

they sold a bunch of stocks, realizing large gains. By the law, they have to pay those gains out to shareholders in the fund. Then, as those funds leave the fund, the NAV of the fund drops, just as in the dividend example.

In this case, there were absolutely no dividends paid out to you. Just $3.798 in capital gains. Which is fine, they made some good bets and closed them at a gain. but it's not the same as a dividend, and they did not increase your wealth.

Well, that's weird. I wonder why Fidelity calls that a "dividend" then?

You may not have said Jews run America, but you did say the Israeli Lobby runs Washington DC. How is that different?

How is that different? Acknowledging the obvious power of the Israel Lobby in Washington -- and you don't deny this, do you? -- is hardly the same as saying "the Jews" run America, is it.

And if using 'canard' means someone is a defender of Israeli racism, then you need to take a hard look in the mirror. That was YOUR word, not mine.

WTF? How does your using the word canard make it my word?

Your mind is really messed up

Even with this new quoting system, you're still having trouble? Yikes! It was YOU who used the word in your post that I quoted. That's what makes it your word.

You moron. It was ZB's word.

I see.

So if I copy and paste Einstein's Theory of General Relativity that makes it my theory?

Not according to what you wrote. Based on the rules of English grammar, you wrote that word as your own. So either it was yours, or you are the moron.

I'm sure you will also post links to credible sources to back up your wonderful news articles right?

Oh wait that's not you. You'll never post the links to these fact based news items. Will you???

I actually have posted links several times as the only defense of Israeli loyalists is to claim I will not provide the links.

Yes you keep making this claim that you post links to back up your points. But the truth is you don't.

Yes, yes you do occasional post a random link that very loosely connects back to your point but once an individual actual reads the link they find it has nothing to do with your over all points. You do love to connect random news articles together into some larger conspiracy theory even if the news articles are sometimes separated by years and years of information that because of time frame are no longer relevant.

You make these huge condemning statements that you say have thousands of pieces of evidence to back them up if we would just open our eyes. But when asked to produce the evidence you usually go on a rant about how easy it is to find on google if we just type it in ourselves instead of being so lazy like all Israel lovers are. But what you still fail to realize is that the proof of evidence is on the person making the claim and that would be you.

I'm going to give you a homework assignment. Every SINGLE time you make huge claims about how Israel is running the world you need to supply the link where your evidence supposedly comes from. If you do not I will implore everyone reading to just ignore the statement until you supply the actual link.

But me and you both know you want. You will continue to copy and paste stuff from Prison Planet, Conspiracy Watch, or Storm Front which is your MO. Do you know how I know that is where most of your stuff comes from? I was curious about some of your statements and I actually uploaded them to

to check which internet sites you copied and pasted them from. Surprise, surprise the three listed above were the three most copied and pasted by you.

I am just shocked! No wonder you don't want to actual post the links where you are getting your information you would be laughed right off of letsrun.

3.....2.....1 random deflection by K5

Random deflection already.

1) It was a simple and honest question

2) I am not K5 (so you were wrong about that)

3) It was not a deflection of any sort, let alone a random one (so you were wrong about that as well)

But thanks for the answer anyway. You sounded quite a bit like agip. That's why I asked.

More record closing highs today for the Dow and S&P. And yesterday the NASDAQ finished above 4000 for the first time in 13 years.

It's not too late for K5, but it's rapidly approaching 1PM Friday.

Yes, it IS weird... except that's how all mutual funds work. lol.

Mutual funds (and other investing companies) can have BOTH dividends and capital gains. They are required to pay these out to you and you have to pay taxes on them, even if you elect to have them reinvested in shares of the investment company (they are still taxable in the year declared). The distribution is fully reflected in the price of your shares on the ex-dividend day.

Funds might call these all dividends rather than distributions because they are reported on Form 1099-DIV. But the distributions you are calling dividends are actually long term capital gains and are entitled to be treated as such when you do your taxes. If you don't understand this, you may have been giving the IRS a little too much money over the years.

hey klondike5 - you are again claming jews run the country. here, from another thread:

Add in facts like Jewish NGOs receive 98% of the Homeland Security dollars and one must question how it is not yet 100% clear as to who runs this country.

Huh? 1.7% of the population gets 98% of the Homeland Security grants. But that isn't the problem in your mind. The problem is my bringing it up?

Did I miss the memo?

World? WTF r u talking about?

Is the world ending 1 PM EST or PST? Do I need to get up early to get my last workout in?

Hey Flagpole, since the world's coming to an end, are you going to sell anything? {hmmm, I guess I need to spend Thanksgiving evening trying to figure out if that makes the trend up or down...}

This poor K5 fellow is obviously not playing with a full deck.
