    Probably Trump himself and his family.

    Well, their ability to influence the markets to enrich themselves won't last forever, so they gotta do it while the gettin's not just good, but great.

    Of course, if WE traded on insider information, we'd be the first ones in prison.

    Liberation Day? Hegseth thought it was Libation Day.

    That's any day that ends in a 'y' for SECDRUNK Petey Kegseth....

    Ha! How about this quiz: Who Said It: Homer Simpson or Pete Hegseth?

    Hey, I got 92%!! Not bad- only missed one!

    Good job, OJ! Long-time Simpsons fan there?

    No, I actually only saw about 10 or 12 episodes. Enjoyed them very much, but we didn't have the time in those days. Homer was basically a not overly brilliant good guy, trying to coexist with jerks who would be right at home in Trump's cabinet.

    The one that I missed:

    “The less booze thing is not working out for me.”

    I chose Homer - I couldn't believe that even Hegseth would be stupid enough to say something like that.

    At least Homer, drunk or not, would tend to do the right thing and/or listen to reason....

    Homer would have Lisa for a conscience check when he needed it. Huge improvement.

    @FD100 - Why hasn’t some big mutual fund company snatched you up yet to run some of their funds? I’d imagine you could make David Giroux look like a rank amateur. Quite amazing TRP hasn’t lured you in with a big singing bonus …

    I retired with enough money to cover our expenses for 25 years, not including SS.
    Then I doubled our portfolio.
    I don't need a job. We have enough for all the good stuff.
    Retirement is the best job I have ever had.
    Many investors still haven't learned the lesson, stop investing based on politics and complaining about it.

    @Fd. Maybe millions of Americans aren’t complaining as much as worried about the future of our democracy……..if you like what’s going on now you must have hated what came before.

    My Irish grandmother used to say: "There's favors (even) in hell." Criminal scum look out for other criminal scum. They do favors for one another. No conscience. No morals. No worries.
