Sometimes local groceries have “sale prices” posted on items (in big numbers). But the very fine print on the tag says you need to “clip” a coupon somewhere - I assume with your cell phone at their company website. So I pass on such items and buy…
Yes, with satellites, you already know that you're playing in a specialized space. I always check the ER and size of the fund. I would not consider infant funds, unless it's Giroux. I own 3 single stocks: 2 regional banks and an LP in the oil/ngl sp…
Sold all GDL. Swapped it out for new position in TRTY.
Gabelli’s (arbitrage fund) GDL wasn’t a bad investment for me. Just moving a few deck chairs around … in anticipation … of what?
GDL reminds me of the airport code, but

Sometimes we call such a man a traitor. Because he is. And what should we call those who support him? COLLABORATORS!
TRUTH!

The American dream might become a nightmare.
Already.
Ya. F**k y**. AND the asshole that designed things that way. And I need to be reminded every time I start the car, not to drive distracted????? Bite me.

We're coming closer and closer each and every day. I despair of living long enough to see this repaired.
Yessir. The line forms at the right. I'm rubbing elbows with you.
I have noted repeatedly here that I do not subscribe to the "woke" agenda.
There was no coup against the Orange Felon Scum in his first term; Russia did indeed interfere. Connections to the Orange Criminal could not be proven.
Open border? You'r…
Orange felon pervert would-be king. Isn't he dead YET? No love for Joe here. But the Orange grifter is a heinous, malignant lump upon society.
The BLS Head does not even have access to the numbers that Orange Cheeto-head claimed she manipulated. And…
“The Justice Department said in June that it was opening an investigation into the UC system over possible race- or sex-based discrimination in its employment practices. In doing so, DOJ pointed to a strategic plan that said UC should strive to hire…
The blasted things are as complicated these days as jet fighters. I reserved a compact rental, but of course, was given a frikkin' SUV... 2 hours down the road, the frikkin' dash display disappeared and a bright orange attention-getting idiotic ligh…
Seems to me that J. Powell is in possession of a pair of huevos. He won't be pressured into cutting rates. We must follow the jobs and GDP data. If stuff is tanking, he and the others may choose to cut the rate. But inflation at 2%? We're still not …
I'm reaching for yield in my FI funds, in Junk, rather than EM. The latter does not offer a yield that matches domestic Junk. Back during the '08 Financial Crash, I was getting 7% in EM bonds. I'm at about 7% yield combined, in PRCPX and TUHYX these…
This whole picture is a mountain of feces. Consistent with what the Orange One wants to see happening, anyway. Facts, details just don't matter. What matters are baseless, groundless Agency assertions. Now you just have to deal with it all. This Ora…
...And now, the ones tracking it all down have come under investigation or charges. Black is white. White is black. Right is wrong. How many fingers am I holding up, Winston? And what if the Party says 2+2= FIVE? What THEN, Winston?
Still, Letitia …

She's not seceded from MAGA. And they are all complicit in the coup d'etat from within.
3 co-equal branches of gummint? That works just fine, when those involved are working in good faith. The USA just does not have that anymore, until there …
He wants to be a king. This gold obsession will make the place resemble the Tsar's winter palace in St. Petersburg. Gross and brutishly overdone, an affront to taxpayers in a (formerly) "free" country. (LOUD start:)
I had some trouble yesterday for just a few moments, trying to get to the Portf. Mgr. It was after a Mac update! I just tried it 2:47 p.m. Eastern Time, just now, and the notice is still up, but I can get to that page with no issues and even look at…
Indeed this up and down TACO "negotiating position" is forcing the rest of the world to realize that the US is no longer a trustworthy trading or defense partner. Even with DJT out of office, why would you sign a treaty or agreement, knowing with t…
The Orange Idiot doesn't understand how government works. Revisions are not 'fraud' or 'tampering' .... but that's all his little peabrain seems to fathom, so of course it must be 'fraud' designed to make him look bad,

Ethan Allen returned to England after the war, and the British made fun of him. One day they put a picture of George Washington in an outhouse where Allen would be sure to see it. He used the out…
Bring me that Orange lard-bomb lying, soul-less "President" with the nun-ankles. I'm going to eat his face.
*"Nun-ankles" was our irreverent moniker for the typical nun's physique: they all had legs which ended at the feet. No ankles at all. (Is he…
How is the the U.S. "winning" here? Of course, we are not. But we all knew the answer to that one. If this country survives this 2nd Orange term, we will be vastly diminished in countless ways. So much of the bullshit has been done under the cover …
Just back home after being stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues again. No, wait. I was stuck in L.A. waiting for my re-booked flight after the non-tsunami event. Anyhow, it gave me a chance to connect with my son, who lives in the L.A. burb…

Just before walking through the newfangled stupid security machine in which you must hold up your arms, the lovely and gorgeous TSA guy will take your picture. Another new Big Brother tactic. As I stood in front of the camera, I smiled and said: "Sm…
