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.
@Junkster- The problem there is that non MAGA Republicans are currently completely unrepresented in Congress. They're in even worse shape than we (nominal) Democrats.
@Old_Joe. Could not agree more and why my distaste for him and those of his ilk g…
He sure wasn't great but probably better than whoever Trump and Musk send over there.
Trump has publicly suggested he'll place the USPS under the Commerce Dept. umbrella. Smells of privatization. Scummy, wrong, sucky, bad.
I would certainly be happier with MODERATES in charge: true Republicans, not Repugnants--- along with Demublicans. The majority of the Democrats have over the past decades truly turned toward the Right, which is a shame. But it would certainly be be…
Enjoyed that, almost. He's straightforward. I'm less optimistic. He's not exactly euphoric, anyhow. The item of advice Ms. Mack offered at the end is quite important.
Signal? I dunno why The Orange Goons don't just use that 1-900 phone line out of Tulsa. You can talk to Risen Jesus personally; get it straight from the horse's mouth. The trouble these days is those pesky immigrants who do physically challenging la…
OOPS, lumping Haiti together with Spanish-speaking countries was a mistake. But it does not change my point. Pass the Kool-Aid, please. Who is HE--LO? Someone get Jeffrey Goldberg on the line for me. I have a scoop for him. I was just on the phone w…
I note SWVXX is down to 4.15% yield. Still attractive to me. I'm still adding in dribs and drabs. The savings account at the credit union is used simply as a sleeve to tuck money into for a particular purpose; it will be spent in a matter of months.
Limit order is in for slightly below today's closing price in BLX. Just a handful of shares, using dividend money, paid today.
*EDIT TO ADD: yes, the order was executed this morning, Hawaii Time. A small remainder of the dividend given yesterday is…
It is ALL alarming, but to say that is by now an understatement. "Disappearing" people also includes simply canceling their legally permitted status to be in the USA. Did you see that Venezuelans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, Salvadorans have had their TP…
Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic magazine: (per The Hill.)
...He wrote that he initially had strong doubts the text group was real, “because I could not believe that the national-security leadership of the United States would communicate on Signal a…
I'm not surprised to hear this about USPS. Sadly, it's become just plain bad. Deliberately. Louis DeJoy was appointed by Orange Felon, with a mission to destroy it. Much progress has been made. Lately, after being supremely shamed by a Congressional…
The USA has indeed sunk so very low. Elect a buffoon ONCE, that's bad. Elect an EVIL SCUMBAG buffoon TWICE? NORMAL countries are distancing themselves, clearly. People are moving where they have or can get 2nd citizenship. Rosie O'Donnell: Ireland.
Kudos and a big thank you to Dr. Snowball who has reviewed and brought to our attention the Sherman run funds at Riverpark and Crossingbridge. I have been very satisfied with the multiple funds Sherman runs that I own and he deserves this award with…
After taking my bigger than normal chunk from the IRA in January---after a winning 2024--- I'm down just -2% at the moment. Nothing to write home about. Market conditions are dicey. Everything is political, when you come right down to it. No avoidin…
35-27, end of 1st Half: Houston leads Gonzaga. The Dawgs managed a bit of a comeback toward the end of the half. Still down by 8. But it is not the blowout that it almost was looking like, for Houston... Bulldogs only managed 3 three-pointers, so fa…
That's the truth, OJ! From Friday's PBS Newshour, I heard the President of Princeton Univ. taking issue with what the Orange Evil Pud is doing. I went to school next-door, at Princeton Seminary. Trumpy Doink and others are painting it as ipso facto …
Remarkable, the deliberate ignorance, unwillingness to SEE what is happening under their noses. They all need a detox farm to recover from Orange Kool-Aid addiction. The Orange "President" has already broken his oath more times than you can count. H…
They will continue to dissemble, obfuscate, mischaracterize, misconstrue and lie. They will ignore the Judges. The coup rolls on. Until people wearing badges and military uniforms uphold their oaths, because the Orange Bag of mongoose farts has brok…
