(Is he not dead yet?) Glad to see Markets pop. But the volatility is insane. My former junk bond money is hiding in the MMkt. I'm not moving it outa there anytime soon.
@FD1000,
How can forum participants take you seriously when you repeatedly reference Fox News drivel?
Do you realize the reverse is true too when you guys posts lib sources which are the majority of old type media.
That's similar to saying most u…
They always say a bully needs a punch in the face to stop being a bully. China ups the tariff war. Could China be giving the punch in the face the bully needs?
He'll never admit anything or back down; he'll create a pretext (like everything else…
Right. Circular circle-jerk. Create the fraud you intend to stop. Goddam that Goldstein! It's all his fault. I saw a great sign at the demonstration on Saturday: "Make Orwell Fiction Again."
"...It's hard to argue that the analogy is NOT appropriate as McCarthy is widely regarded as one of the most powerful US Senators of all-time and his initiatives gripped the party and nation for years!"
Your analogy IS appropriate. I was adding an …
Optimistically, at some point the tariff war will end…either via Congressional action or otherwise.
So….it makes sense to compile a buy-list. It’s funny, over the last year or so I established via Schwab a number of alerts for positions I would rea…
However, in 1983, the Supreme Court—contrary to what the authors of the National Emergencies Act expected and intended—ruled that any such resolution would itself be subject to veto by the president. And it takes a two-thirds majority in both houses…
I was distressed after waking up this morning to see the Green in the indexes had turned into a sea of RED. Stinky poopy. Schwab is completing my 2-step trade today, leaving my Junk behind and buying WCPNX and SWVXX.
I'm watching closely. Are the d…
Guys, your back-and-forth has also been addressed in the very first reply, by @Old_Joe.
"...Second- I strongly suggest that you move your post out of the Off-Topic section, which is not primarily meant for financial questions and discussions. I su…
I follow this website religiously but I only occasionally post
remarkably dumb questions. My question now is what do I do with the non-equity part of my portfolio. I increased that to 70% after Trump inauguration, but I am still not doing very we…
Uncle Joe McCarthy was a bag full of assholes, true. But he was just a single Senator, not the Chief Executive. Yes, it's true, a lotta "geniuses" backed him up, for a long time.
It will take a lot of time for us to recover, eventually. But even …
I'd like to think that Scotty is forced, quite simply, to deliver the Party Line. If not, and I find out about it, my head will turn from mush to just plain ketchup.
A half-mile too late?
In the T-IRA: selling ALL junk bonds. TUHYX, the biggest slug, will go into Schwab's SWVXX Money Market. Still shows a yield back up to 4.17% on Sunday afternoon.
Also, selling PRCPX and switching into Weitz core-plus WCPNX. …
Scott Bessent, the Treasury secretary, said on Sunday on the NBC program “Meet The Press” that he saw “no reason” to expect a recession.
Delivering the Party Line.
"...A top Goldman Sachs executive summed up the frustration with Mr. Trump succinctly: Someone has to stop him..."
This, from GOLDMAN, who screwed customers up and down and sideways and inside-out, under uncle Lloyd. Dunno if that's still the case.…
LOL.
As ever: mischaracterized, misrepresented, obfuscated, twisted, and conveniently forgets the circumstances, plus the fact that The Orange Lard-Bomb imposed worldwide tariffs. Even on the penguins of Heard and MacDonald Islands.
The nationwide and global protests on Saturday, 05 April '25 have been estimated and reported by Alt National Park Service was 2.5 million people.
In Hilo on the Big Island, there were over 1,000 people who turned out. I couldn't say how many there…
@Derf. One can hope! Did you see Dylan movie “a complete unknown” ? A must.
Loved it. But it showed a side of Dylan which nobody admires, expressed by Joan's character in the film: "Y'know, Bob, you're kind of an asshole."
“I’m thinking Thursday’s selloff was based more or less on fundamentals, while Friday’s selling was mostly sheer panic.”
This makes sense to me and I’m hoping cooler heads prevail on Monday. If not, I’ve still got some more dry powder available.
M…
We can dutifully observe and mark statistical ups and downs. But to do so in isolation seems like tunnel-vision to me. There have always been political differences. Most folks label them according to the two major Parties and their differing outlook…
I'd been a Wobbly, but gave it up due to internal screw-ups and a klunky website. The ones involved are trying to do way too much. They really need more volunteers or employees to run that outfit. And the Union is SO overly-democratic, they can't ge…
A regrettably accurate picture of too many US voters is included here, too. How many years have we all been decrying the dumbing-down of the American public? Reduced standards in schools? The "Snowflake Society." Too many have the intellectual capa…
When I originally bought my Junk at precisely the wrong time, I rode out the horror and then back upward, all the while reinvesting monthly dividends. I'm now wondering if I should stick it out AGAIN, or move $$$ into higher quality paper. I own WCP…
