My search for a new broker has come to an end! 🙏 During the past week I interviewed with a few potential brokers. I wanted to stay with my current brokerage house which is in my neighborhood. My original broker called to see if I wanted to move my account to her but I never heard of the company she joined. By chance, I was talking with a business associate about my dilemma and he mentioned someone that he thought I might already know who works there and lives in my neighborhood. I called, spoke with the “Group” he’s part of and had a wonderful conversation. Since I have several different types of accounts he had some good ideas as how to maximize the potential of each. We’re meeting for lunch next week to get better acquainted. Since several of you had already suggested questions for me to ask, I’ll write them down and use them at lunch. Thanks again to those members who replied to this thread. It’s most appreciated. 👏🏼

Was at Citibank today. The best CD rate I could get was 9 months at 4.75%.

@Lucky, I also enjoyed reading the many contributions of @edjames. He regularly submitted some excellent and well written reviews on Broadway shows. When I noticed he was missing from the site I contacted him to see how he was doing. He replied that he had moved to the Southwest to be closer to his family.

@GTMike, Thanks for the thoughtful offer but I’m staying with my current firm. I have an appointment this week to interview a new broker. I hope it goes well. 🤞🏼

@Lucky, That’s great news. Congrats! Other than Ozempic are you taking any other meds for diabetes?

Here we go again! After just 1 year of working with a new broker I get a call that she has left the firm. Apparently, brokers aren’t permitted to inform their clients that they’re leaving until after the fact. My last broker contacted me after he left the firm and wanted me to move my account to him. After meeting with a few new potential brokers I decided to stay with the firm as the new broker was very knowledgeable, had a good track record, and we had a lot in common. I was told by the firm that I’d be contacted by a new broker to set up an appointment to interview him/her. And, if it weren’t a good match other brokers would contact me. I just reviewed the excellent replies in this thread, however, if you can think of anything else I should ask, please just post. I’d be interested in hearing what investments this broker suggests during these rocky times.

When I started this thread my A1c was well above the diabetic range. My doctor prescribed additional medications and I met with a dietitian to review my eating habits. I was a good patient and followed their advice. Recently, I had a blood workup done and received the results this AM. My A1c, after 4 months on meds, is back in the normal range. I don’t speak for others but my meds & diet definitely worked. Thanks for the information others have provided. Good luck to all dealing with diabetes. 🙏

Life of Pi was 1st a novel (2001), then, a 2012 movie, and now a Broadway play! Currently, it’s an easy ticket to get @TKTS or TDF but that might soon change as it’s receiving rave reviews. It’s a fascinating story about a 17 year old boy named Pi who tells of his adventures surviving on a life boat after the cargo ship goes down. He encounters many animals that his family brought along. If you saw the play War Horse, the animals are life size puppets. After awhile you’ll think they are real. The Playbill lists 2 actors who play the very demanding role of Pi. I saw it with Adi Dixit. He was very likable and exciting to watch. The 1st Act has a very dramatic ending leaving the audience waiting for more. A very mesmerizing play! IMG_9730.MOV

Broadway lovers are going to enjoy walking the 3 floors of Broadway history. Admission was $32 and you begin with an orientation video explaining how Broadway moved to Times Square. Each exhibit brought back memories of the shows I had seen. I enjoyed it!

Good news! I heard from @WilliamM. He’s fine just taking some time off. 🙏

Thanks guys for the great replies. Much appreciated and helpful. 👍🏼 Q. @WilliamM , a regular/daily contributor to the site, hasn’t checked in for 2 weeks. I sent him an email but didn’t get a reply. Has anyone heard from him?

As we approach the 2nd Anniversary of @Guy Fawkes passing it’s a good time to ask yourself the question: If anything happened to me, who would know? @Guy Fawkes lived alone. No neighbor or friend knew he was in need of help. After not hearing from him for a couple of days, the police were called to do a Wellness Check. Sadly, he was found on the floor barely alive and, a month later, passed away The outcome might have been different had he been found sooner. For those of you who live alone do you have a contact person who would realize something might be wrong if they didn’t hear from you? If there is one thing we can learn for this loss its the importance of having that contact person. RIP: @Guy Fawkes

@Exploritor, You raised a good question and received many positive answers. Yes, members have been meeting up since the site started. The 1st member I met was @jackhammer91406, some 20 years ago. He was visiting NY and posted that he was taking in a show at the Gaiety. I contacted him and arranged to meet. @foxy, another member & now a close friend, also joined us. I’ve met numerous members from attending the Gaiety and, every Sunday, @ the 20 Club. Some have become close friends. We had a group that traveled together to Montreal, Atlanta, Fort Lauderdale etc to take in the different strip clubs. Just this past weekend I was in Fort Lauderdale to meet a couple of members. Your location has a lot to do with meeting others. Whenever @Lucky or @glutes are in NYC I can always expect to hear from them. Good luck to you and, if you’re ever in NYC, send a PM.

Although I had read the plot for this musical I wasn’t exactly sure how it was going to be performed. The story is a bit odd but it captivated my attention. A cast of 9 talented actors who sing, dance, and ice skate. The crazy Aunt is comic relief and very funny! The play has a wonderful ending that will make you either cry or smile. The performance I saw was almost full.

Wishing @MikeBiDudea very Happy Birthday! Thanks for your continuous support of this site. Cheers! 🥂 🎂
