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.
With +25% S&P gains for 2023 and 2024, and a +16% 2025 YTD, an average gain of 22.9% (or higher) for 2026 EOY?
Interesting. When was the last 4-yr period of 90% S&P gains? Never mind the higher Nasdaq gains?
Walz said to Kristen Welker: “Here we got a guy on Thanksgiving, where we spent time with our families,
we ate, we played Yahtzee, we cheered for football or whatever.
This guy is apparently in a room, ranting about everything else.
This is not norm…
@hank I dig it! Fun fact: that song was also the theme song for the comedy series "Weeds".
I too drive sedans or coupes. I gave my wife my last SUV around 15 years ago. Good riddance. She likes that higher ride quality. I prefer a lighter, more n…
It isn't only that he appears disconnected from reality, which is a massively big deal, but that he cannot even maintain adequate messaging.
Moreso, the GOP/maga complained constantly that Biden was not in charge. As usual, their complaints are p…
Among the outrageously stupid things that Trump has done, this ranks near the top. Nation State actors, like China, DPRK, Iran and Russia will make our infrastructure, financials, and tech, and everything else, their playground.
If I had to pick a favorite Christmas movie, it would not be one of the obvious ones, like "A Wonderful Life" or "Christmas Story", both good. It would be "Scrooged" with Bill Murray. or "Hook" with Robin Williams.
I do like Polar Express.
I just did it. Thanks for the reminder. It took a lot of futzing around (deleting apps and data) to get it to install on an iPhone 12 64GB. Needed 20 GB of free space.
So far, I like the changes to the camera app.
If we have top notch security capability at the national level, they should be suited to confront this as a national security threat. And take appropriate measures. Unless we don't, or the people in charge are incompetent.
They should be able to t…
No idea on whether rear steer helps on slush. My car is AWD, with a rear bias, and has rear steering. But it is rather slight. Just a few degrees. Still, it makes the mid-size car feel more like a smaller car. Too much rear steer can apparently make…
LOL - I once drove 50 miles on glaze ice. In a car with basic all-season tires, no ABS or traction control whatsoever. I saw (estimated) over 100 wrecks. Some that I, and a state trooper, weaved and picked our path through. He didn't even bother sto…
article is propaganda attempting to present how the trump crime family is suffering along with his low income voters.
these cryptos are fabricated and made up of nothing...there are MILLIONS of different meme coins.
worst of all, the article skips …
@FD1000: Evidently it will come as a surprise to you that I am very familiar with everything on your list. I am an avid absorber of news and history.
So what? Are you suggesting that because those things are true it gives your president Trump the r…
and the parroted 'what-aboutism' w/no concept of scale, nor an economic grasp for tragedy of the commons, is why a certain poster has zero value add.
Yep, no value whatsoever. I scroll right past. Too much BS, braggadocio and mis-information to eve…
@Old_Joe
Another great information piece from El Pais. "But the Trump effect has completely vanished, with digital assets falling back to levels seen before his term."
Dare I say, reversion to mean, absent new substance.
I totally agree. It is frustrating to watch. Nothing that we can probably do.
Except, maybe use this information/observation to avoid losses or parlay to a buying opportunity. Similar to Dotcom or the Great Recession or 2022s inflation. , if one i…
@DrVenture I double checked & don't see the Bears beating KC.
4 out of next five games the Bears play are against teams with wining records.
My $.02 sees the Packers Bears splitting, & 2 new teams in Superbowl.
Last I saw of Rogers he w…
I learned the little that I know about such things driving up to Yosemite. For many years we took weekends there in the early spring and the late fall, and a number of times there was a pretty decent amount of snow on the highways up there.
Where …
This is just for all the old guys out there:
You have spent your lives amassing a good retirement income. I love you guys. Could you please spend some of that money to hire a service to clear your dangerous snow problems? Consider it an investment i…
LOL @Anna -
- The exercise is healthy and also proof that I am still alive!
- I don't trust anyone to do it right. Plows mounted on trucks can do a lot of damage to
drives and nearby landscaping. Snowblowers take longer but much better on yo…
Oh I could do that Anna but that would take away all the fun my neighbors have chit-chatting about the old fool out there shoveling. I have always been quite physically active and shoveling is all of that. Cheaper than a gym membership and it makes …
His meme coins have cost their buyers almost 100%. His DJT stock has sunk to levels 40% below the IPO price. People who voted for him have been hit by higher prices - no end in sight - and loss of benefits/jobs, in some cases. Supporting him has bee…
More and more of his sycophantic "tools" may begin to suspect that they will end up like so many others: Giuliani, Powell, Lindell, etc. They may try and escape his orbit before the gravity makes that impossible.
Take note that even his children a…
