On the plus side, Western Union is generating a huge amount of income for its size ($910 million of net income in 2022 with a P/E ratio of 4.7).

I have a roth 403b through employer that only offers SWPPX. When I eventually roll it over to a Roth IRA, I'm trying to figure out if there's any way to get my money out of SWPPX to something like VOO or a Fidelity fun without having to sell. Any thoughts?

So, while I was in the hospital last year, I went on a bored stock spree and forgot about it.
I just checked the account and I invested a total of $1,246. It’s saying I have just over 740k. There’s no way, right? I don’t even know how to check this. But that’s not possible in a year, right?
EDIT: I don’t know why everyone’s assuming I’m a guy. Im a girl. I DO NOT believe this is accurate. But I DID put in over 1k so I’m worried I won’t be able to
So I have been looking at the GaN-based semiconductor news for a while, and was wondering what are your biggest criticisms against it -- I know some of them like its high defect control when being manufactured. Also, I have been looking at NVTS a lot recently and would appreciate any arguments against it as well -- I've read their 10k and what they listed as their weaknesses, but would like to learn more about how well or not so well they compare against the
Almost $1.5 trillion of US commercial real estate debt comes due for repayment before the end of 2025. The big question facing those borrowers is who’s going to lend to them?
