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.
Sometimes humor is sharper and more pointed than all the statistics you might list... Uncle Kash with a "K" is woven into this 6 minute presentation. LOL.
Truth. And it sucks mightily. Remember the Saturday Night Massacre? Nixon fired people until he found a doink who would carry out the order to fire Archibald Cox. It was finally Robert Bork who did what Tricky Dick wanted. Trumpster has been doing t…
I watched that entire game b/w Dodgers/Phils on Monday, 06 Oct. a true cliffhanger in the 9th. Freeman saved the game with that save on the throw to him at 1st base from the 2nd baseman. He threw the ball into the dirt. Surely was nervous!
Yanks ar…
Mid-terms already need to be protected from the in-State Red gerrymander and creation of new congressional seats out of goddam thin air. No doubt, Orange Fuhrer will have ICE around polling stations for intimidation purposes. Gummint has already req…
I hope this is clear to all.
Crystal.
Fascist State now. Politicized DOJ, politicized Courts. Weaponized everything. S. Miller even looks the part re: Joey Goebbels and Himmler.
Remember the fictional Goldstein character in "1984?" Everyone was …
I'm no good with numbers on the spot, in my head. I used a calculator: IF I were to remain with my current Medicare Drug Plan (Part D) I'd encounter a monthly premium increase of +25,820 percent. No shit. Perhaps it'll be similar, wherever I might s…
My financials and oil/gas stuff are getting mercilessly beaten down, lately. Holding. I'm convinced they'll still be an extremely good LONG-term holding. Dividends are one big reason.
Agreed. Minus disasters, firings, lay-offs. On a day to day basis, it should not be presumed that someone ELSE is responsible for feeding my kids. Ork?
HI has some kind of reserve fund. Not sure if it resides within official gummint offices and auspices. They are planning ahead for '26 when a lot of annual federal money just won't show up because the country is in the hands of doink-heads in Wash D…
Sunday, 05 Oct, '25: Looks like Yanks are gonna suck ass again today. Outclassed, I am thinking. Still time for a reversal. Bottom 3rd now.
9-0, Jays ahead in the 4th. A complete murtilization. Stinky poopy lousy awful and bad.
...13-7 now, but Yan…
@FD1000. Big agreement with you here. The entire portfolio is THE THING. I call it paying attention to a “single metric “. I record the portfolio balance on 12/31/. Everything else is noise. I admit I listen to the noise at too high a volume and …
I like to use StockRover. They're calling it a HOLD, currently. Their call is for 8.65% upside to target share price. (1 year.) P/E is 24.2 and that's already too rich for my blood. A solid company that's been around forever, you're right. I like th…
TROW doesn't deserve anyone's money, these days. Seems to me from what I've seen lately, Schwab is a better bet. I'm talking as an investment, not as a client--- although Chucky has not been bad at all, once I uncovered and unearthed the ordinary, c…
@Crash If I'm reading you correctly,how can you be a DH & still play on the field? It's called a twofer one. Ha Ha
Appears a player can be a DH & still play the field. he batted 4 times.
Both DH's had forgettable performances! O'fers!!
Ah,…
Core bonds don't scratch my itch. For several years I've stayed with a couple of TRP junk funds. I'm not looking for them to go anywhere, just produce reinvestable monthly dividends. The pie gets bigger, about every 30 days. If the share price rises…
Dodgers win, 5-3. A 3-run HR turned the tide. I am curious about something else: i had been told that the NL had adopted the DH. (SHOULD be unconstitutional.) Ohtani started as Pitcher. Later I saw him designated as "P-DH." ... Um... WTF? But earlie…
Now a fun fact. I only have known a few people who were actually receiving ACA subsidies and privileges. All are Trump supporters!
Yes, I know one family, around where I live, personally. Trump supporters. Strange bedfellows!
No. But the description of your misadventures had me riveted. Genius, using your phone. The unwelcome proliferating pest in these parts is the Rhinoceros Coconut Beetle. RCB, for short. Like Stonewall Jackson once uttered: "kill 'em all."
Dodgers now. Late coffee, then something stronger. Tied 0-0 in 2nd. W.C. Fields: "All things considered, I think I'd rather be in Philadelphia." Citizens Bank Park MUST be better than old Veterans Stadium. Dreadful.
Go, Dodger BLUE! Next year, bac…
Game not quite over yet. It's never over till it's over. But let's hope the Jays use up a lotta spare runs scored in this Game 1. Don't wanna see a blowout like this again vs. Yanks. Bottom of 8th in Toronto, Jays up 7-1. .....Now 8-1, no outs.
Time for the 25th Amendment to be employed. Will it happen? No. Repugnants are spineless spectators. It was 25th Amendment time during the first term, already. Impeached twice, but invertebrate Repugnants just lay down and stayed quiet in the face o…
Strangely, Schwab classifies this stock as US CORE, in financials. But it operates in LatAm and the Caribbean. I believe they get their skinny from Morningstar.
Well, well, well.
One of those industry self-appreciation events. Just saw this, dated 03 October, '25.

@larryB
Glad to see the Cubs doing it. I'm happy that you're happy re: the Tigers, even without Billy Chapel, eh? I'm glad the Dodgers advanced. And the Bronx Bombers shut-out the Sox. They must retreat to Fenway PAHK now, until April.
:)
Oh, no. My life is ruined. Thomas Aquinas, too?????? I'd love for the extra 20 pounds I'm wearing to just fall off, like that song about the tequila:
"Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off."
Hey, Pete: check back in about 30 years... Maybe you'll be …
Exceedingly and superfluously accurate in all respects. Could have included a lot more 4-letter words, because the Orange Sludge just simply deserves it.
Lots of rivalry juices flowing. Top 8th, still tied. Bos at NY.
......Yanks up by one run with 2 out, then load the bases and can score no more. Like yesterday in the 9th. Poopies. Yanks lead 4-3, with 3 outs to go, if they can keep the Sox from sco…
Still 52 stocks 47 bonds. Chuck tells me that 4% of my stocks are international. Take that with a pound of salt. 7.81% of the full portfolio is company X outa Panama. Another, outa P.R. is 3.86% of total (not total stocks.) The single stocks have be…
