Is there any good economic news? I may have missed it.
Well now that depends on which provider you choose for your daily finance news. Certain "reputable" news outlets will tell you that all is just swell and dandy in the U.S.
David Snowball quoted the following from Leuthold as regards investing during the start of a new major conflict:
Respect the initial shock, acknowledge the widening cone of uncertainty, and remember that survival, not bravado, is what allows invest…
Any Trump hire will be a Maga drone - loyal to the leader, corrupt and totally unqualified.
So will Markwayne be another fail? You betcha. Trump only hires the worst. This is by design.
Amazing that it took an unnecessary war to prick the market bubble just a little bit. We have had a long bull run. Agree that its risk off for now.
Been selling a bit of everything to increase Cash.

"Why aren't we talking about Dow 50,000?"
ALLW might be an interesting vehicle for this environment. Even ETFs that play defense can backfire.
I'm wondering if the old mare, PRPFX, is the way to go.
So to summarize:
1) Self-created conflict for US
2) No authorization from Congress on his latest Friday night special
3) Deflects from pedophile investigations
After we get this clown out of office, many of the Laws and Regulations will need to be "altered".
Especially the ones involving limitations on the US President's powers. Although the GOP majority Congress should shoulder much of the blame. Hav…
Current term presidential Executive Orders need to be contested (in courts) more often. Especially this one.
An executive order (EO) is a written directive from the U.S. President that manages federal government operations, with the force of l…

I still would like to see some follow up as to exactly where the $10B went for his Board of Peace.
I think we know where it went.
Maybe in 9 months we get a reckoning.
Every time you go to a doctor's office, I can't help but think they are selling your info. as well.
I don't like the idea of using QR codes for the tracking issues listed in that youtube video. Beyond creepy that it can go on to biometric spying…
What we know factually, is that economic indicators have been steadily deteriorating. It takes a lot to push such a strong economy off its trajectory, but given enough time...
Yes, given enough time, the pillars of our economy deteriorate. Intl tr…
When it all collapses, none of us will be surprised. It could be months or a year from now, who knows. When that day arrives, MAGA will blame Biden, like the tools that they are.
Meanwhile, trade rotation away from the US (both debt and equity) w…

Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection have formally approved contracts for at least a whopping $144 million in weapons, ammunition, and other accessories duri…
If there no migrant workers left, who will Trump have taking care of his trashy Mar a Lago compound? He has a rep for stiffing them on their paychecks, that class act.
Q: Would Americans ever take jobs "in the fields"?

Rumors have Cannon's husband tied to the mafia, though not substantiated. His mob boss was supposedly Trump's pal.
Trump appointed her in 2020 and her nose has been firmly up his ass since. She has no shame.

A few more YTD returns:
PRPFX +9.4% YTD
ORR +13.4% YTD (…
Bold added:
Continued reallocation could provide a tailwind for gold. If investors nudged their allocations to just 3.5% from 3%, J.P. Morgan’s Chang says that could translate to $6,000 gold, while a move to 4.6% in coming years could push the price…
You know what is is that I (extremely) want to ask, right here...

Another newer play, ALLW, from Ray Dalio is marketed as a somewhat defensive option that mixes broad commodities and gold, global bonds and equities with inflation linked bonds. Leveraged.
Supposedly an all-weather portfolio.

PRPFX is one of the few alt funds that has endured. A classic.
There are newer offerings as we look to offset potential volatility. I started adding BRGOX last year. HEDG is a new etf of a mutual fund with an ok track record. Own a few share…
