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.
Remember when our Presidents (of both Parties) were actually intelligent and knew how to comport themselves? Of course, a Democratic Socialist would be preferred...
Seems to me the dollar will continue to fall in value. The US is not the safe haven it once was. WE are now among the banana republics ruled by a criminal, fascist, vapid thug, along with his tong. American exceptionalism of the sort the MAGA crowd …
@larryB correct. The silent--- literally--- Repugnant majority on The Hill have taken the role of spectators. They are complicit in the collusion to remake this country from within, via an internal coup d'etat.
Here is another great interview with Marks:
I listened to this one and the one stacked underneath, in this thread. Good stuff. I like the way he thinks. Commonsense, yet erudite, without falling all over himself. "Never terrible, always good, some…
Just got the email statement from TRP via Schwab. Ya, I noticed the same stuff. $68B AUM, whoa. Difficult to be nimble, unless a big slug is being held back, as you describe. Current domestic and int'l politics are making for a cloudy picture full o…
President of the USA. Publicly opining about company logos. Jayzuz pus spooge.... Yet, it is very telling. It's still all about the benjamins for him. Marketing. Presentation. Appearances. Forget solid content, integrity or the rule of Law or anythi…
This a failure of Powell. He should have suspended Cook pending an investigation.
Who do you propose do the investigating?
If it needed to be done, how about the same I.G. that looked into the Bostic case?
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., wrote in an X post, “If socialism is government owning the means of production, wouldn’t the government owning part of Intel be a step toward socialism?”
Where are the rest of senate and congress? They all know that goes ag…
I recall some sort of impropriety involving Fed Gov. Bostic. Nothing was ever done about that...

Orange Scumbag.
You’re an idiot...
It’s a wonder that you still know how to breathe.

Thank you @crash and @rfono for many investment opportunities ex-US.
One more comes to mind, but it offers no dividend. Don't know if you'd be interested. Canadian.

@Sven. I don’t hear much discussion about the period between growing one’s capital and the “deaccumulating phase.” For lack of a better term I call it the preservation phase. After growing and before long term care.
Yes, everyone's circumstance…
Canada, too, is pivoting for the long-term against so much dependence upon US cooperation. Electing Orange One once was a nasty surprise; electing him twice sends a clear message, and the Orange message is to blow up existing cooperative arrangement…

And the coup d'etat from within would be complete.
Fascism at every turn. The red lines are all in the rear-view. Starting to truly itch, esp. with gerrymandered Congress, election tampering even before the election happens. Joe Stalin: it doesn't matter who votes. It matters who counts the votes. G…
Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I am reluctant to go one fund for many reasons. It’s sorta loss of control vs possible behavior error. And being comfortable with average. The motivation is strictly for my wife. My experience is that one can …
the runup astounds and continues to astound, 2d-highest shiller and 5th-highest sp500 p/e (if I am reading the graphs right)
man, hard not to dive back in !
Might be some wisdom in d-c-a-ing. US is too rich. DHL (ADR) has been mentioned. And what…
Shaking my head. Supremely un-surprised. But PLEASE make it stop. Clowns, liars and jokers are running this gummint. I need to vomit. Again. The Orange, evil porker evades any accountability, in the meantime. As ever.
