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.
@PopTart- Yes, both parties gerrymander. That's why I voted for California's independent redistricting commission, which I believe has worked very fairly. And now our governor wants to "temporarily" shut down the commission for five years to offset …
Yes, I think that's true on at least one level. But how do we explain how roughly one-half of the voters in this country now admire and emulate our current "leader", and those vandals who he led to attack our Capitol? Did a large number of them just…
Well, if/when the courts rule against this absurd attempt to rewrite the Constitution his plan "B" is simply to have the National Guard from Republican states take over the justice system. He's rehearsing that type of move right now.
FWIW, Wickipedia says:
A sabbatical is a rest or break from work; "an extended period of time intentionally spent on something that’s not your routine job."
I appreciate the thought but following the Bloomberg "gift links" plunks over 20 cookies on my browser and requires signing some kind of legal baloney that is many pages long. Not going to happen.
@rforno- Interesting to see American Funds EuroPacific and Washington Mutual again after all these years. We used both of them (but class A) fairly heavily when we were in our accumulation phase. American Funds was really good about allowing us to g…
You have to realize that Trump doesn't regard himself as the president of a democracy. He treats the United States of America as if the entire country is nothing more than his private company, to run and rule any damned way that he feels like. (Subj…

Effective August 15, 2025, this Mutual Fund will undergo a 6-for-1 share split. The Mutual Fund share split will apply to shareholders of record as of the close of markets on August 14, 2025. Shares will begin trading at their post-split price …
"Sell was for 360.107 shares totaling a little less than $3000.
Cash available $460.65."
Once in a great while I receive a similar message if there is a delay in the settle date/time for the sale.
@Sven said: "Are we approaching China’s model on private companies, state-run companies?"
I was wondering the same thing. You have to realize that Trump doesn't regard himself as the president of a democracy. He treats the United States of America…
Sure they will. All White Nationalists welcome. After all, they're "good people", remember? Brown uniform shirts are probably being ordered from China right now.
@Poptart wondered: "How would Jan. 6, 2021 been different if the Wash. DC police dept. had been operating under federal control and the national guard were already deployed by the president?"
Well, that's an interesting mental exercise. I would gue…
"the 'never losing' and politics was tiring"...
You know, that sounds a lot like someone here on MFO. Let's see... "never losing"... now who does that remind me of?
Oblivious is exactly right. @FD1000 has already identified with not giving a damn if our country is being destroyed as long as he makes money on it. You're right about the propaganda- he and Joseph Goebbels would have a whole lot in common.
@hank- Yes, your "source" was indeed very interesting. If you didn't already, also check out the second report on the state of the US electrical grid, and why no one is doing much to bring it up to the new supply requirements. We keep increasing the…
Hey there @catch22- Yes sir... Accipiter also went by "Falcon" for some time. And you may remember his icon-
He did the whole damned thing on a dial-up modem. Man!
Those of us who were present at the birth of MFO will recall that MFO was largely built by a very dedicated member who went by the non-de-plume of "Accipiter", using nothing more than a dial-up modem and a ton of very hard work.
Best to you, Accip…
