Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
This year we are going out for a four course prix fixe menu. For starters, your choice of pumpkin bisque, cajun shrimp, bacon and cauliflower corn chowder, or a mesclun greens salad. Then moving on to turkey, short ribs, pork loin, lamb leg, Chilean…
...I do believe I heard it reported that the 28-point deal--- which was in effect the Russian wish-list--- is down to 19 points, and that Ukraine and the Europeans consulted together to put it together. Now let's see the reaction from Vladimir the W…

Crypto is evil. Period. (with a tip of the hat to the late Charlie Munger.)
I've been listening to Lyn Alden. She knows a lotta stuff and is very interesting. Not making predictions, but explaining some plausible scenarios. She likes bitcoin on acco…

Yes, by the way: Schwab is the only major brok…
Fidelity certainly has a top-drawer reputation. I'm with Schwab. I wonder whether Fidelity plays that silly game that Schwab plays? When I move money into the account from my bank, it is impossible to just set-it-and-foget-it so that the transferred…
...gonna take a rest from posting this. It all seems to smoosh together like so much noise.I can still appreciate the eye-candy factor with Scarlet Fu. Credit where it's due. :)
