This is my fifth year serving on RheumPAC, and some of the questions that I repeatedly have been asked include: Why can’t I divide my investments into automatic monthly payments? Why can’t I invest from my phone? Why can’t I schedule an annual contribution so I don’t forget to invest? Why can’t I look up…
