We were already watching MSNOW when all of this started. And, except for observing what local/network channels are programming to the local populist; we continue to watch MSNOW. A quick check of FoxNews at the time, found that they already had 'thei…

Hi @PopTart
Wish that I had a 'clue'.
I'll be looking at FINVIZ after 8pm, Sunday, for clues from the big kids.
We're 43% equity, 39% mmkt and 18% bonds.
I received this printed poem that was a graduation card in 1965. I still have the card. As I did then, I still dismiss 'the man' reference, to also be inclusive of the feminine reference, too. But, such was the style of the time period.

@Derf For winter time..........with only my presumptions about your house.....IF there is not cold air entering into the basement from whatever areas; WITH uninsulated ducts from the furnace, the sub-floors of the house are warmed from the warm d…
@Derf
You noted: Currently living in older home & ducts have no insulation. Is it worth the cost to cover them?
Are you asking about ducts in the basement? Uninsulated ducts in the basement may have a benefit in our climate, IF the basement is n…

Anna, The begin point of this chart is March 14, just before the Big Beautiful Tariffs.
But, this was also the begin period of the AI push news, yes?
Regarding the chart: It is a bit busy with the line graph, but at the bottom right, one will find …

Hi Anna, Great. !!!
My first question. Did you use the generic Google AI or Gemini? Your query suggests generic.
I've not tried Gemini yet.
Note: We currently hold SMH and BOTZ.
I would move this to 'Other Investing'.

We all have that goal, eh? Generally, we always seek potential.
There must be some other funds with this …
