This would make sense if you were buying FIVE fire insurance policies, or if you bought them to resell them at a higher price.
As it is, buying FIVE military rifles is just as stupid, and far more expensive, than buying five Darth Vader Action Figures in their pristine bubble paks.
They will not be any more effective at saving you from aggression than Darth and his special light saber.
No sane person COLLECTS mutual funds. They have a purpose. Unlike your military toys, you can check their price daily FBIOX was $118.89 today, up $1.10 from Thursday market close.
Fidelity does not have to change its name because those who understand investments, unlike you military toy collectors, understand how investments really work.
No matter how easy it is to sell your stupid unnecessary toys, it is far easier to sell any mutual fund. You don't even have to leave the house.If you hold it for 90 days, there is no commission.
Even if your home is endangered by stampeding herds of deer, packs of coyotes or mobs of menacing zombies, ONE rifle is all you can fire at a time. The other four are ornamental (need I remind you?) toys.
Maybe if your wife can reload for you, TWO is all you's need.
You can always get trampled by deer or eaten by coyotes to prove me wrong.
Zombies also might be a threat, but perhaps not. I hear that they are interested in: BRAAAAIIIINZ! So to keep them away, leave that Romney Ryan sign in the yard. It should keep away the LITERATE zombies, at least.
