April 01, 2024 and they post a ‘Dividend Received’ BUT it is NEGATIVE!
Repeat. Says ‘Dividend Received‘ BUT it is MINUS (i.e., negative). So it isn’t Received — it is a DEBIT!
Plus it is on April 1 — April Fools’ Day.
Having been a Fidelity customer for nearly 40 years I kind of figured it out, BUT I thought I would get them to explain and clarify.
It wasn’t a quick explanation as I had expected. I was on hold for nearly 20 minutes.
It ALL had to do with March MONTH END happening on ‘Good Friday’, i.e., March 29, a HOLIDAY. That messed them up. FUNNY.
They OVERPAID because of that.
So, they had to go back and recoup. FUNNY.
All because month end fell on a holiday. In 2024?
Funny.
How many of YOU noticed.
Forbes magazine recently published a list of 44 American families worth $10,000,000,000 or more…and four of those families were named Johnson.
The descendants of the founders of S.C. Johnson (who still run it) and of Johnson & Johnson (who do not),and two mutual-fund tycoons…the Fidelity Investments Johnsons (richest of the four) and the Franklin Templeton Johnsons(they started the Franklin side,not the Templeton side).
