@Crash, he also served in the Clinton administration. From AI:
His roles were:
1993–1995: Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs
1995–1999: Deputy Secretary of the Treasury
1999–2001: Secretary of the Treasury (succeeding Robe…
@Crash Seems like Artisan Partners agrees with you, so Tiffany Hsiao went back to Matthews.

near as i can tell, FD maintains that he doesn't have money in any of the funds that he talks about, including EGRIX. he won't say what he owns/owned until after he's sold it (for a handsome profit, of course, and then let the crowing begin).

Links to several Epstein emails are posted below.
I'm very interested to learn about the information included in the Epstein materials held by the FBI.
Hopefully, it will see the light of day...

As I’ve been saying since February 2025, MFO was once a top-tier investing education hub. Now? It’s 24/7 TDS central, led by OJ, a guy who couldn’t care less about markets and is just full of rage.
Why are you contributing to a "24/7 TDS central"?

Democrats are so desperate they cling to every fleeting story. Just give them a glimmer of hope.
The shutdown is over. Dems drool, GOP rule.
Chuck E. Cheese is fading.
Elections have consequences.

@msf Over the past few years, I have tried to track the pricing of community rated, issue age rated, and attained age rated Medigap Plan N policies, but I haven’t found any pattern I can understand. It seems nearly impossible to determine definitive…
Comparing pricing on medicare.gov for Plan-G Medigap. We will not be signing up until late 2026 at earliest.
If all Plan-G cover exactly the same by law (I am told), why would anyone choose other than the cheapest plan? (Attained age and community…
@gman57 I’ve been noticing 9 year auto loans lately. You end up paying a lot of interest, and if you’re "lucky," you might still have negative equity. If you’re "unlucky," you could be making monthly payments long after your vehicle has seen its las…
@Crash Ty Cobb knows what he’s talking about, but unfortunately, this isn’t getting much coverage. If trump concludes that the Democrats will take the House, there will be no midterm elections.
@sma3. Good info....but.
As usual, you need to know what you are doing.
Worst case: if coverage becomes an issue, you can relocate or establish residency in another county to qualify for Original Medicare.
Indeed, you do need to know what you are …
@Observant1 Along the same lines.
"President Donald Trump said the U.S. economy is strong and insisted polls showing Americans are feeling economic pain are "fake" during an interview on Fox News that aired on Monday night.

@DrVenture And after he finally gets the 50 coupon redeemed, he probably leaves the store with the coupon in one hand and a sense of personal victory in the other. He has no shame.
Maybe Obama should hire Trump to finish his ugly, over-budget, unfinished library. The current cost estimate is approximately $850 million, more than double the original 2016 estimate of $300 million.
On another forum you posted:

@Mark Yes, it was a very serious question.
Hi @Mona, yes, failure to pass a full year budget or another continuing resolution by the end of Jan. would mean a shutdown for whatever departments don't already have a full year budget. Agriculture does…

The ACA was poorly designed legislation passed without any Republican support.
But with the support of over 24 million people who were enrolled through the ACA Marketplaces in 2025.

@FD1000 Which company had over a 40% increase and for what plan letter?
Reading these posts makes me chuckle.
All I see is nonstop TDS.
Politics always swings back and forth, but Democrats seem to live in a constant state of panic—everything’s always on fire.
Keep up the rants and watch how you destroy the whole point o…

@Hank I too, have done a few car radio upgrades. I'd say that my generation was the one that kicked the whole thing off. We would put early Pioneer Supertuners and Jensen co-axials and Craig amps in our 1960's beaters, this was in the early 1970's. …

@FD1000, you will be well served if you listen to right-wing nut Tucker Carlson interview right wing nut and anti-Semite Nick Fuentes the other day. This is the same Nick Fuentes that right wing nut Donald Trump brought to Mar-a-Lago in 2022 for fin…
