@FD1000
Nice poll.
On the campaign trail last year, then candidate Donald Trump repeatedly vowed to “bring prices down” and “end inflation” starting “on day one” of his presidency.
Trump went on to trounce then-Vice President Kamala Harris among …
The red carpet is rolling out for Trump across the world — and there’s a reason. It’s about respect and a desire to do business with America again.

I reset my password and now have access to my portfolios again. I am wondering if this is something Morningstar did.

@hank: Are we supposed to believe he’s a successful investor?
Nope.
FD1000 never misses a chance to boast that he’s 99%+ all in or all out. Right, because every self-proclaimed "risk-averse" genius knows the best way to manage risk is to throw ever…
Cap key is not engaged. I even tried a different browser. I must be doing something wrong, but I just can't figure out what. I sent a message to Morningstar and they say that nothing is wrong from their end, I will reset my password.
@Observant1, I wonder why some of our Jewish friends are not outraged regarding the swastikas' showing up in the offices of Republican members of congress and young Republican's engaging in anti-Semitic speech.
The irony continues. After years of panic-inducing narratives from unhinged Democrats, inflation is finally under control. Yet these same Democrats once denied the highest inflation in four decades during the Biden years—and now they’re attempting t…
I'll bet that FullyDuped1000% thinks that everything is just great.
Sure he does. While he is suffering from cognitive impairment, his credit-card information was not stolen by Santos.
The people across the street just put up a big poster on their fence that says "Make Lying Wrong Again". I'm thinking they probably used it in the No-Kings March.
@Anna, in Texas?!?!
Democrats forced the Affordable Care Act on the public, and now they’re pushing for coverage to illegal immigrants.
You really are that dumb.
It must pain you to live in a Democratic county.
@FD1000,
President Trump has illegally assumed powers not granted by the Constitution nor allowed by U.S. law.
Perhaps you would like to join millions of your fellow citizens on Oct. 18
to demonstrate against Trump's actions which have caused undue…
He is alive and has been making great global changes. Only TDS people DDD=dismiss,deny,downplay.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has challenged Texas's state-level actions by arguing they interfere with federal authority over immigration matters.

Nope, 99+% in just w bond funds.
I laugh every time you post that you are 99+% in or out and that you are a trader (unfortunately you post this incessantly). Most of us know that no trader goes 99+% all in at once unless it's with a tiny amount. Th…

There is a reason to celebrate. The Israeli's are one step closer to bringing Netanyahu to trial.

@hank, a thought. If you go to Costco every few months or more frequently, buy the Royal 14MC-89736 Paper Shredder for $80. There might be a 90 day time period for shredders. If it does not meet your needs/usage/expectations, return it. This is not …

The only reason BS1000 posts here is that he has been kicked out of all other message board sites. Keep that in mind.
He has no where else to troll.
I’m really happy with my new forum — there are more active posters, a lot more about investments…

@DrVenture,
As you and others know all too well, for years FD1000 cried endlessly on multiple forums about how much he was paying for Obamacare, blaming President Obama for allowing such costs. Now that he’s on Medicare and Trump is in office, sudd…
Dems is the DDD party. Deny, dismiss, and downplay everything.

Comey has been indicted. We need to hold the Russia-collusion instigators and phony investigators accountable. This marks the beginning of restoring democracy: do unto others as they have done to you FIRST.

@bee: Take a look at FISMX. Similar country allocations to VINEX. Better 5-year performance and about the same 3-year performance. VINEX has better performance over the past 3-years.
More good news! We are getting some new taxes on all of us. New tariffs on trucks, drugs and furniture. Woohoo!
And it looks like the Sinclair stations that were blocking Kimmel are losing money and getting muck flak. They are bringing Kimmel back!…
If Trump and the FCC were dictators, why did Kimmel's bosses reinstate him?
Kimmel has been going weak over the years.
