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. Some observers think this time is different….. the sum total of everything that has happened since Inauguration Day is so far from normal that analogues to other markets, other wars , other trade wars just don’t hold water. But the mark…
@Hank. I must have missed that call but if I did answer that one I certainly would not have believed it. But I sure went to sleep last night expecting a really bad day …what do I know? Nothin.
Sunday night futures are reflecting a nothing out of the ordinary weekend. The street really seems to be disconnected from the news right now. How long might that last? Who knows?
At Sven. As I have repeated too many times we are only the next “national emergency “ from the 2026 mid-term elections being called off. The regime is not ruling as if it cares about any future election…… if we are counting on the mid terms saving…
Sail cruising relatively luxurious compared to living in the dirt but a tent couldn’t sink ,,,hit a whale or get run down by a container ship at night. But lots of similar themes…
Andy J. The number of thru hikers is astounding. In a few hours on trail yesterday we saw a half dozen or so. I sort of compare it to cruising in a small boat. The weather, the next anchoridge, water, health,,,, that was all that mattered. Ironic…
Maybe that is the way trump negotiates with his many wives but that is not the way to negotiate with another country. What could possibly go wrong? Or::::: another TACO?
Until they do. Who will stop him? The rules no longer apply. Sad but true. He has come to realize that his power (at this point) has no limits. From bad judgement to just plain illegal he can do anything he wants. All we can do is await the nex…
This thread motivated me to research the author of the book being discussed. His website is of course an exercise in self promotion. I am by no means a watch expert but he appears to be sporting a Richard Mille watch which makes any of his advice …
At Crash. If Israel disbanded the I.D. F tomorrow do you think Iran would disband its forces, quit exporting terrorism and everyone would live in peace and harmony?
I just read an article advising folks not to bring their own phones to any demonstration. The regime will be able to identify you if they so choose. It’s come to that.
The state of tension between Israel and Iran existed before Bibi and will continue after he leaves office unless Iran has a regime not dedicated to Israel’s destruction. Yup. Truth. It takes both sides to make peace.
Crash. Your first sentence could be interpreted as questioning Israel’s legitimacy from the start. I don’t know how to do links but give a listen to Neighborhood Bully by Dylan from 1983.
At Crash. Your antipathy towards Israel is well documented. I wonder if you can separate Israel’s behavior in Gaza from the way they deal with Iran, which is an existential threat to their very survival? Or put another way, do you think that Isra…
Moron wanted a fast deal for GAZA and Ukraine too. How did those deals work out? His attention span is short except for destroying Democracy and seizing total power for himself. He sticks to those resolutely.
At SVEN…. Do you really think there will be a 2026 election for any Federal office? The run of “ emergency “ declarations is obviously practice for the BIG ONE! Calling out the Marines for a garden variety protest with the usual hooliganism is just…
at Old-Joe. Are you using “left wing” as some sort of bad thing? You know,,,, like the regime does as in “left wing lunatics “? The regime considers anyone who opposes them as left wing. I get the feeling that your definition of the middle is very …
Just think,,, destroying public health and the constitution and the economy and our role in the world all at once. Sorry for the run on sentence. R.I.P America as we knew it.
@Anna. I hope not as well. I think we need to be realistic about what who we are dealing with. The regime and followers of the regime would cheer. Your fears are an appropriate response. Look,,, the SecDef is itching to unleash the Marines. Wh…
Does anyone doubt we will have another Kent State event in the next 90 days? Clearly the regime relishes the opportunity … they don’t even hide it,,, just like the grift. It’s all out in the open.
At Sven. Thanks for that link. I was horrified that I was having a senior moment and looked it up. Neil Young wrote it and CSN&Y recorded it. I was pretty politically active at the time and the events at Kent State were very upsetting. Tha…
