Interesting that Dump is now using the US government to try to stockpile Digital Assets....just after he "minted" his own meme-coin last week. Hmmmm.

These pardons of insurrectionists - this act will never be forgiven. A dark stain in US history.

What's the spin on Dump removing the $2 cap on generic drugs? He rescinded Biden's action to lower prescription drug costs for Americans on Medicare and Medicaid.
He is such a tiny man that he must remove all the policies that came before him, rega…

This is no small conflict of interest.
Disgusting, brazen abuse of power. And many more to come. We have become used to it. Imagine if another president had attempted this?
Needed some Munis:
1) Bought a S/T, High Yield fund - RMSIX. Low SD so far.
2) Bought FDUAX - First Eagle Short Dur High Yield Muni.
Both yield just over 4%. Boring as heck, but no Federal tax.
This bull still has legs.
No bubbles - nothing to see here. The CPI report calmed all nerves.
For those of us with cash, it would have been nice to see stocks (and bonds) "go on sale" a bit. But alas, Mr. Market has other ideas for now.

One lessen that stuck with me from the 2000 bubble bursting was how ridiculously high the markets felt to me by the end of 1998. And yet we still went on to another positive year before the markets would finally turn south.
