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.
We have become a nation of "show me your papers". That should terrify every single person in this country. Anyone who supports or votes for that should and may lose their freedom.
I forgot to cancel my free Apple TV after watching the entire Pluribus season which was good so I have January to watch more. What else is good on Apple? Next season of Ted Lasso is not out yet. Two seasons of Morning Show on Apple weren't bad. …
If you use Verizon, VZ visa is 4% on gas, restaurants, groceries ( most of my spending), not cash back but you get VZ credit off your VZ bill. Other than that I have 5% Amazon/Whole Foods, 5% Target card and 5% Lowes card and W Fargo 2% on everythin…
It's inevitable, wall street has been at it for years getting their computers as close to wall street as possible. High frequency trading can depend on being microseconds closer to trading platforms. AI is a little scary, are we all going to be pay…
I would think it would still be visible on radar just not broadcasting its ID but I don't know how it really works. I don't think a tanker has that much stealth technology built in but maybe it does.
Unfortunately my statement is not time specific. I lost hope when 20 6-7 year old kids were massacred in Newtown and absolutely nothing changed. If that didn't stir the USA to action I'm afraid nothing will. Almost everyone I talk to including gun …
The Dufus will pardon his entire cabinet etc... saying Biden pardoned a bunch of people. Congress really needs to rein in that power. Convicted criminals need not be pardoned.
Above target -> to settlement fund
At or below target -> reinvest
Early Dec - settlement fund -> below target
A couple exceptions, some I really like and are performing well I let get quite a bit above target.
It also happened during Trumps first term... Pelosi was asking the joint chiefs to limit Trumps nuclear authority. I agree I never saw anything like this before Trump. In the last 50 years I never truly disliked any president either DEM or GOP, …
I'm glad. The admin got rid of a lot of JAG folks or reassigned them. There may not be enough of them around to give updated legal advice to some in the military who have questions. The same as the 1st time around with this Asjh0(Le. There were se…
Bronco's fan, it's possible, defense carrying them but they do just enough on offense to win.
Or... Patriots, Eagles, Colts and I wouldn't count out KC.
@gman57 "Haven't been to a brick and mortar bank/brokerage in 20, maybe 30,40 years that I can remember."
Are you printing your cash needs?
Joined a credit union back in the early 80's, everything done by mail back then, internet now.
Cash == AT…
Consolidated everything at Vanguard except one small HSA at Fidelity since VG didn't have an HSA choice at the time I opened it. Haven't been to a brick and mortar bank/brokerage in 20, maybe 30,40 years that I can remember. Although I have no c…
Ya, Maybe Home Depot should say the real reason they're struggling. A large percent of their construction clientele are in hiding or being deported. I know of a local restaurant that is staying closed some days because of it. We all agree, get o…
I remember way back when around late 70's I told my wife each bag of groceries at the store cost us about $10. I went to the store the other day and didn't buy that much -> $118. Admittedly it was Whole Foods where the hot bar costs as much as …
Maybe but more likely he's just giving himself cover since so many are going to vote for it anyway. He was told how many were going to vote for it so he said yeah vote for it. I also think he thinks the files will never be released since the "new" …
Yes, the recent busts of basketball and baseball players shows how bad it could get. They lost/made peanuts (to them) but probably cost them their million dollar careers. Almost every commercial on ESPN is gambling related. You can bet on EVERYTHIN…
