>>>>Think I will put my money in Nordic countries where they have much better deficits-to-GDP ratio.
Wish that CrossingBridge fund was NTF at Schwab, my broker.
}}}}}}} Nowhere in the article does the author, Michael Siconolfi, mention an issue of “trust”. His message: “When withdrawing funds from your retirement account, be sure to check on the redemption protocols or you could unwittingly raise your risk …
The national debt is long ago and way beyond obscene. Remember the '50s? Jim Crow. No Medicare yet. I do not think we had such a huge expansion in "welfare," as we do now. Yes, WIC and Food Stamps/SNAP and Medicaid serve a good purpose. And Head Sta…
Thanks, @catch22.
They do this illegal, unlawful junk, then they gaslight the public and blame it on the natural public outcry as to why their NEXT crackdown is so necessary. I suppose it's an old playbook. But I've never seen anything like this in…

Martial Law is next. Are you ready for a Marcos-like takeover of the country from within our own gov't? Perhaps the Orange Thing was legitimately elected, but the entire totality of what the gummint and it's agencies (and FAKE agencies: "DOGE") have…
The Repugnants USED TO BE fiscal conservatives. Joe threw way too much money at the pandemic. Ya. Check out what Ronny Ray-guns did to the federal budget, eh? Surplus with Clinton. Lasted, what... 10 minutes?
At the current time, and with no substantial change in tactics in the offing, the mere fact of the on-again-off-again, back and forth economic fickleness by the Orange regime might very well be the biggest obstacle to overcome in order to plan finan…
When is it genuinely bad? When the wealthiest get away with murder, paying next to nothing in taxes and the safety net for the working class is gutted in order to keep the wealthy even more obscenely wealthy. When is enough, enough? How much shit do…
Yes. McCain. And look at the marvelous work Cindy is doing these days! Actor Tom Selleck and I are mostly not on the same page, politically. But his portrayal of Eisenhower was splendid in the film, "Ike: Countdown to D-Day." The story ends with the…
I've watched many documentaries over the years about this period. Wholly sad and amazing as to the will of good by so many; military and civilian. My father was in the Pacific area of WWII.

In my imagination I believed that the United States would honor that day by always supporting Europe against similar enemies.
How foolish of me.
Such a vapid Orange Disgrace.
“That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists—
and that they both individually wield such massive power— is an indictment of our political system
and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our …

I read that item. Succinct, informative, helpful. Thank you.
Just two short years after electing Mr. Tusk, Poland has once again swung right.
The intelligence and purview of Polish voters is no better than too many Americans'. Remember the moonshot years? We used to do gawd-awful spectacular things. Now, the…
Started a position in Snam this morning, continuing my utilities/natgas theme, with some European diversification.
You bought on the Milan or London market in euros? I just looked.
Used dividend money paid out yesterday to buy a few more in BLX. It's 7.56% of portfolio now. US is too rich, plus the political chaos. Buying elsewhere opens up business-to-business avenues free from the Orange Chaos.
At Crash. Well stated. And it’s only getting worse by the minute. Soon there will be no reliable data . No laws and no whistleblowers. We are living through the end of America as we knew it. Invest at your own peril.
THAT'S a rather huge truth…
Some people let politics influence their investing decisions.
For years, I’ve said the same thing: ignore the noise and stay focused on the market.
But when the Chief Executive is a childish, oblivious, reckless, crazy-ass saboteur? Ignore him at t…
