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'm getting an education. Very late last night, I also uncovered the fact that PIAMX is CLOSED---- though wonderful M* asserts it is open. Horsefeathers, stinky poopy. Wasted time. Thanks for the explanations. Lessons learned, as I go sliding down t…
Giggle. All tongue in cheek, surely.
Markets & investing: Since the election, I've done nothing but add a tiny baby bite to my I.G. core-plus bond fund WCPNX. And tonight, I ate dead chickens with rice.
@BenWP- Sorry Ben- the 20 points goes to Mark... the something stupid was a duck.
@Mark- Let me get back to you on what you can do with the 20 points. This may take a while.
Straight-man: George Fenneman. :)
He still owes civil fines.The Fani Willis case is not dead, either... yet. Now I'll go back to feeling my head explode, as I ponder this preposterous, absurd state of affairs.
The deeper question is just what it says about Trump voters, casting their ballots for a known and convicted felon who abuses women, does not pay his bills, went through six bankruptcies, has a peachy-keen relationship with our adversary Putin, atte…
The bond market, along with interest rate sensitive equities would like a word.
Of course. I bought into WCPNX and it falls. So predictable. Down another -.62% today. Rates up. Still planning to d-c-a into that pig.
Liz Cheney asserted after Kamala's loss that citizens and procedures and our institutions will have to provide guardrails. Will the already anemic and compromised Institutions of State keep him corralled? I rather doubt it.
Quite an unusual situation, @MikeM. Correct.
I grieve what we've become when a walking, talking repeat-Felon (who should be in jail) with no conscience, wins in a landslide. He wins, but the country shows itself to be feckless. Standards? Character?…
@fred495 Schwab looks like it would allow the purchase. But I just don't have enough free, idle cash sitting around with which to do it. That's why they won't let me proceed. Give it a try.
PBS offered good coverage, I must say. No hype. Reasoned, analytical. The organization they used to make State calls is AP. Slow to make the Final Call.
Trump just gave his victory speech. With PA, he only needs AK, which will be as automatic for him as HI is automatic for the Democrats.
Shall I remind us again about how useless and stoopid the Electoral College is? But... oops, SO FAR, at least, …
Just now, IAT (domestic Regional Banks ETF) +0.82%. I use that one for comparison against my holding, --- BHB--- which is up wildly today, but, hey: it was way overdue after several days down and treading water.....
ET midstream oil/gas LP is way…
Sure. (HI:) Mazie Hirono is up for reelection. Can't even get anyone at her office to pick up the phone or call back. Same with uncle Ed Case (House of Rep.) Different story with Sen. B. Schatz. Quite responsive. Mazie and Ed will have to do without…
Hmmm... Years ago, Horrocks was a genius, and Lou Rukheyser interviewed him as Manager of the year. Was it M* that selected him for the honor? I owned MACSX. Since then, I wonder if he has become the sand in the gears? Is the problem child making hi…
I just listened. Cuban impressed me. I've listened to Sam Harris before. He does not impress me. At least he is sane and reasonable. The ironclad, unquestioning, blind and absolute support for Israel is a sticking point with me.
Excellent. Thanks for letting the rest of us know. Whose column is that? I'm guessing it's Jason Zweig?
.......Just went to ValueInvestorClub.com and nothing about the sign-up process is working. I attempted it three times. Harumph. Better things …
