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.
I am getting impatient with ET (LP.) Thinking the recent "going nowhere fast" share price might be a buying opportunity. Midstream oil/gas. That sucker continues to attract positive attention and a projected share price of $21.00 but it's drowning l…
@WABC. my sense of humor is such that I am wondering if the hiatus will be longer than my days. I am old enough that my wife and I spent 3 years sailing the sea of Cortez and saving money because double digit interest rates on our savings more than…
Americans might be seen as just a bunch of high risk bombastic pathological liars and be dismissed without vetting.
At least registered Repugnants would surely qualify on that basis.
I've stood up at the several protests that have been organized nationwide. It does get attention in the news. But as for concrete action that matters directly upon the Rule of Law? Well... The courts at EVERY level have been packed with Orange sympa…
What good will more passports do you in a detention camp for "left-wing terrorists"?
Difficult for me to think that you missed my point. A choice of passports permits the holder to land elsewhere in order to escape the mountain of Orange feces.
We're already deep into the slog through the worst of the shit. And it's only going to get worse. Second or third passports, anyone??? PERMANENT residency permit in Mexico can be had for retirees if you can show $300,000 in US assets...
Been looking to diversify my single stock holdings at least a bit. Uncle Charlie Munger advised against diversifying for its own sake, but I just can't bring myself to add another bank in order to get a dividend, and maybe some growth. VALE is one I…
Ya, it occurs to me that if you're a household of one, and you are a saver rather than a spender by nature, you might claim earlier than Full Retirement Age; take the amount you do NOT spend, and put it back to work by investing, or buy a bond fund …
Not a good week for the country, democracy or for Trump's border Czar Tom Homan, either.
The cat is out of the bag that he accepted a $50K bag of cash in exchange for favors from Trump to "business executives" in an FBI sting operation. The prosecu…
@Old_Joe. @larryB. no judgments there, just seems to fit. I do know conservative gays. Bessent is gay. And gay is not trans. But I don't bet a MAGA-type male would be just fine romancing a would-be woman. Just seems to me. So, where were we....?

The Federal Government, as currently structured and with the demise of bi partisan statesmanship, could not deal with any serious situation. Financial, the demise of the rule of law or external threat. Or even the next, inevitable pandemic. But th…
I have to consider that the shooter was in a romantic relationship with his "trans" roommate. That would apparently indicate left-leaning political sympathies. In any case, no one deserves to be assassinated. That won't stop me from wishing and hopi…
19 Sept, '25: Vonnie Quinn hosts.
Issue: FED independence.
Credit spreads are now lowest since 1998.
Kathy Jones (Schwab) snippet: we expect a steeper curve going forward.
Outa gas. I quit taking notes, except for this:
Matthew Diczok, ML/BofA: e…
The entire process is screwed up!
First, there is budget fight.
Second, there is appropriations fight.
Third, President can unilaterally block/stop appropriated funds.
Fourth, after the money is spent, there is debt-ceiling fight.
Imagine how a…
...By the time that mid-terms are over, the people will have spoken. The House and Senate will be again in Dem hands. Trump will be on trial for high crimes against the Constitution. And no one will be able to shield him this time. Anyone complicit …
"I recently read CNN could possibly be taken over by a right leaning owner."
Larry Ellison, I believe. A Trump admirer. And also in line for part of Tik-Tok.
Obscenely rich dork. He also OWNS Lanai.

Orange Felon has made public his thought that those, including broadcast companies, who are entirely negative about himself, should have their licenses pulled. Man-child. A little kid in makeup and a suit with "nun ankles."
*"nun ankles" = no ankle…
I think it was because of our dear colleague @Crash because of his brave and unrelenting campaign against the orange regime.
Thanks, @larryB. And, to quote Arlo: "I'm not tired, OR proud. So we'll wait for it to come around again on the guitar."
Every aspect of the Orange regime is speeding up the demise of this country. You might think it's deliberate?! Maybe because uncle Vladimir has a mountain of rancid kompromat on our Orange Furher. His aims do not have to be achieved by direct confr…
Yes, we all see Orange Slime talking tough about responding to Russia, but then tries to enlist other countries to do any sort of heavy lifting. TACO. Why? Because Putin holds SERIOUS dirt on the Orange Felon fake human, un-dead President.
Any reasonable, patriotic person who is still in the Repugnant Party simply does not fit their mold any longer. Fish out of water. Repugnant Party is subversive, anti-American. Anti-democratic. Plain and simple.
