It's probably safe with the other millions of dollars in Qatar from VZ oil. No worries, it's a joint account with Trump and his sons as owners, what could go wrong. It's currently being converted to untraceable bitcoin deposited into their accounts.
I buy a large container of spinach weekly for my smoothies. I have been doing this for years. Over the last 6 months I've noticed a degradation of it's quality. The are many many many more throw away portions of the container. I can not prove anyt…
Tariffs are just a consumption tax on consumers. Consumers are paying for any deficit reduction. If Trump was smart he'd be thanking them in secret for getting rid of a horrible policy but he isn't so....
When AI or other policies decrease employment who will buy products. Less people with money means less purchasing power which will lead to a shrinking economy until we get UBI (universal basic income)
Not in depth research but I like https://totalrealreturns.com I'm glad you asked as I always go to my funds url by default (to look at my stuff). I just went to the base page and was surprised by all the info I never looked at before. Sooooo.…
Should we expect a lot of that defense spending to go elsewhere?
I don't know, let me poke you in the eye a few times. I'm sure you won't mind and still purchase my products.
What the Save act does is move more voting regulations to the Federal government rather than keep it with the states. The next step would move tabulation to the Federal government since they'll say you can't trust states. BS The Federal governmen…
I agree with you @drventure from a overall outlook of their holdings you would expect BOND to be a better fund through thick and thin. Their returns during a lousy time for bonds 2022 (-14% vs -3%) was an eye opener for me and the better performanc…
Morningstar risk ratings:
BOND ==15 - Inception 2012
ICMUX ==13 - Inception 2010
Since 2010 they both had 3 down years.
Only year both were down 2022
The BOND portfolio looks much better but the ICMUX managers must be better.
2013 BOND down 1…
Wow, watch this, it makes sense to me. You should be able to just x out the popup, turn on volume and watch.

It'll probably take the Ohio river catching fire again or the Hudson and East rivers being lifeless again to be reversed. Maybe when LA smog is worse than Beijing smog again. When will these Neanderthals' learn?
Oh it probably will get worse. Warner Brothers (owns CNN) is in talks with Netflix and has turned down a deal with Paramount since the Netflix deal was better. Now backers of Paramount are pushing Warner Brothers to make the deal with Paramount. …
CBLDX, RCTIX, ICMUX I recently had DHEIX too but wanted to add more UTG and something had to go. Yes, UTG is utilities and volatile but only increased div and never cut div in 20+ years and NAV over time constantly goes up. I just have to ignore th…
I mean can you ever remember ANY president where this feeling was fairly common? I never really loathed any president or any elected official GOP or DEM like this imbecile. How my fellow citizens elected him TWICE is beyond me. I never realized the…
We all know why Trump is closing Kennedy Center:

I don't know much about any of the above. I just remember "SPAC's" from various financial articles a year or so ago. The gist from what I remember (downtown Josh Brown etc...) is stay away from SPAC's. I do invest in CBLDX and this post is goi…
Why do I feel the articles on Melania box office are made up. I mean if I was Amazon/Trump I'd put out as much propaganda as I could to make it seem it was a success possibly drawing more attendance. I don't buy it, maybe I'm wrong, just IMHO.
I had bought VZICX (International blend) a while ago and sold it for a gain but that was a mistake as it's still doing fine. I added it back into my holdings. These rotations last longer than I think they will OR it'll start heading down tomorrow. …
I wrote both senators again:
###
I told you you were going to have blood on your hands. Slow down ICE or you're going to have more or another Kent State! If ICE wasn't there TWO American citizens would still be alive!!
This is total BS and the GOP'…
I just wrote my 2 senators again about Greenland but I forgot to add "where are the Epstein files".
###
"WTF is wrong with congress. 75% of Americans object to this asinine presidents policy on Greenland.
Wake UP -- Congress is basically useless …
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.
