@Derf - yes sadly it seems to matter which damage assessor you get. I personally had a similar situation with my home where neighbors all around me were getting entire roofs replaced and my guy was saying that I didn't have enough damage. A second o…
That's a new one. Is there a section or clause in the policy that relates to this and what they will cover or not cover with respect to damaged siding? I know that many insurance companies these day will not reside an entire house for 1-2 damaged si…
Vikings fan here but I have an equal interest in seeing the Niners and the Bills.
The Steelers would also fit in there, and will again, as soon as they get rid of Rodgers.
I guess someone needs to get their eyeglass prescription checked. I don't see anywhere in DrVenture's post where it talks about owning PDI from 2023 to whatever. Also preparing for rate cuts does not equate to owning the fund either.
Um, come again
"And Trump — who has repeatedly incited mob violence since his first campaign — clearly wants to use the Kirk killing as an excuse for more violence and intimidation. “We have radical left lunatics out there,” declared Trump, “and we…
@Old_Joe - gonna agree with Junkster's comments and I hope I get there as well.
You said "Many of the big questions which still bedevil us have been present since the dawn of mankind. No one has had those answers," Just as important is knowing when…
"I've read that an ETF needs to have ~$100M AUM to be economically viable for the sponsoring firm."
That's probably pocket change for those looking to fleece the retail (allegedly dumb) investors.
"Not worth getting into a political dog fight."
I agree and fwiw I don't look at or consider them at all when investing. But from the evidence it appears as though those pulling the strings do.
"A life cut down by an assassin. A very sad day for freedom of speech."
"In 2023, Kirk said that gun deaths are unfortunately “worth it” for the preservation of Second Amendment rights in the United States of America. He was speaking after a mass s…

"Call me old-fashioned, but I’ve tried to give people selected for a president’s cabinet the benefit of the doubt until they show they don’t deserve it. That’s especially true for the office I held,…
You got that right! I'd love to see 10's of thousands Chicagoans milling about the entrances and exits around that naval compound for however long it takes.
"why didn't the Dems release all the info about Epstein?"
To protect/shield the victims and not to impede the investigation into Maxwell.
There are many other polling organizations other than Gallup who are in alignment with the WaPo poll. What is…
@Anna + a big 1
I'd like to hear more, much more about this alleged investigation. Sounds like more racist BS to me. What? Did they run out of all the criminals, drug dealers and rapists they haven't been able to find? I hate this whole business wi…
Another good week huh?
"Today we learned that in June the US economy lost jobs for the first time since 2020. We haven’t seen this kind of net job loss since - well, since the last time Trump was in charge." – Pete Buttigieg
Right there with you @rforno
"... take that as you will. For me, I prefer investment managers that tend to stay in the background. My go-to is Capital Group (where I'm deeply invested across accounts) but in terms of quiet, steady-eddie operations …
I'm near positive that Lutnick et.al. will be saying that throughout their entire term at the helm. They should have the Doge boys get after this dontcha think?
No surprise here "“It did not appear they had a very deep understanding of the project,” said David Perkins, a vice president at Heidelberg North America, a subsidiary of the multinational firm headquartered in Germany."
From Heather Cox Richardson Sept. 2, 2025:
"In the early hours of Sunday morning, in the middle of a three-day holiday weekend, the Trump administration attempted to take children out of government custody and ship them alone to their country of or…
"The President can award the medal to “any person recommended to the President for award of the Medal or any person selected by the President upon his own initiative.” Selections often reflect the President’s political and personal interests."

@Mona, I think I know what is ______moron but for viewers at home at least toss in the first letter. FWIW, I said that the first time I had ever heard about him or heard him speak and have never wavered from that opinion. He would be a total nothing…
"Many don’t want to face their constituents in town hall meetings."
Right, but that's because they don't want to explain or answer for their reasons for just following along at least from news clips I've seen. The question remains, would they still…
Sorry BS. That's been debunked numerous times.
