  * Fees <code>For our mutual fund accounts, we put messaging regarding 
 our account service fee on our second quarter statements, and in July 
 we send an email or letter to clients that are at risk of the fee. 
 We pull the balance information on the last business day of August, 
 and this information informs who is charged the account service fee. 
 The fee itself is assessed in early September every year.

If there is anything else we can do to assist you, please feel free 
to reply to this email. You may also call a customer service 
representative at 1-800-225-5132. </code>

====TRP====
  * About $60k left to invest

====Spreadsheet====

  - To calculate amount to sell, use Exchange Amount. If current week price is <= 95% of last week's price, use 2 * EA if account balance is >= $1500 + 2 * EA. Otherwise use EA after balance check.
  - EA is .15 * (amount invested / number of funds with dollars invested).
  - 2021/12/3 - new percentage calc in FSRFX checks that dollars invested is > zero.

====Add New Funds====

  - Copy an existing sheet, preferably one with few positions.
  - Update Yahoo with new symbols
  - update python/funds.csv.The order is not important; excel8.py figures it out
  - Rename the sheets and cell A1
  - Clear any buying history
 
====Percentages====

  - In 25 September, use =IF(AM94>0, AM94/SUM(AJ$93:AJ94)-1,0)
  - Use custom Percentage formatting of 0.00%;[Red]-0.00%
