It sounds like Jim Mattis to me. I hate to say that, because if it's true, he'll be gone by next week, and he's one of the few adults in this administration. He may be gone by next week anyway, whether he's the guy or not, the way this "president" o…
Hell, even I could have done that good. So far I've even done better with MJ. But then, it's only been a week on that one. If I make any money on the MJ it's full credit to Ted. :)
The record is what the record is. The examples that I provided are just a very small sample of similar reactions to MJG's remarks over the years. There are so many similar comments that actually not much of my "precious time and energy" was needed t…
David- Your situation is very much on our minds, and my wife and I are rooting for both of you. Hoping for the very best results with Chip.
Take care- OJ
@Ted: I feel sorry for you, Ted. It's a perfectly good link...all you have to do is click on it. But then you've never actually learned the proper way to link, using the tools that MFO provides, have you? Copy and paste... that's you. Sad.
We own a couple there also: CWGIX and ABALX, and have owned CAIBX, ANWPX, AWSHX and AMECX on and off over the years. Of those all were decent performers except AMECX. I can't imagine why that one is supposed to be so great.
@Hank- I found this picture of a similar model on-line. Ours is also gray, except 2-tone: silver gray on top along with the darker grey shown here on the lower section, with some nice striping decals delineating the two paint color sections. It took…
@Hank- It's a very nice car indeed, the very last of the GM rear-wheel drive mid-size line, but unfortunately because of the need to transport family at the time it's a four-door sedan. No Hollywoods for that one. :)
@Ted: This time is different, right? If the relationship between "The S&P 500 index reached an all-time high last Wednesday, which helped stocks close the week and month on a positive note " and "Turkey’s woes could be just the start as record g…
@Ted: An excerpt from a current Washington Post Article:
"Turkey’s woes could be just the start as record global debt bills come due"
"Ten years after the worst financial panic since the 1930s, growing debt burdens in key developing economies are …
@MJG would have us believe that he is "surprised" when someone comments on his typical patronizing style. He specializes in acting surprised and puzzled, as if this is the first time this has been noted. Indeed, he is fond of asserting that his "sub…
Per Ted: "OK ! we get it, now its time to close this thread. There to many other subjects like , investing in general, mutual funds or ETFs that come to mind"
@Ted: Good point! Let's talk some more about baseball bats.
If it were in fact "time to …
"the prosperity was strongly skewed in favor of the earnings of business and the incomes of the rich. In consequence, continued prosperity depended on continuing high investment expenditures by business, continuing high consumer expenditures by the …
"I am not responsible for the actions of my great grandfather, my grandfather, and my father. Neither is McCain and neither are you responsible too."
@MJG: Hard to disagree with that.
A current headline on an NPR story:
"Nicaragua's Embattled Government Tries To Silence Independent Media"
Question: And this is different from the situation in the United States exactly how?
"All gov't workers are severely over-compensated already. "
Only an extremely ignorant person would state that any characteristic of "all" of a very large general class of people is absolutely true or untrue. How stupidly simplistic.
That's like s…
