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.
Pretty sloppy for a guy who is always not only on top of everything, but actually well ahead of everything... he didn't bother to check his link response, which seems pretty odd considering that he has such superior financial systems. Makes you wond…
"I’ve been trying to listen to this episode late at night for couple days now. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get through Larry’s piece without falling asleep - so have yet to finish it. "
@hank- beats the heck outta sleeping pills. :)
@hank- Yeah, lots of snow for sure, but not around us, thank goodness. When I was a kid we did have a fair amount of snow, right in SF a couple of times. Our dog had no idea what it was, but he really loved the stuff. The Russian River that runs beh…
"Newer cars have great built in security. Where I typically leave the phone when shopping."
@hank- You'd better not try that in SF. For years tourists have been losing their phones and anything else of value by leaving their stuff in "locked" cars.…
The way that I read this is that the Justice Department simply says that in it's opinion Trump can be sued. Wouldn't that opinion need to be tested, all the way up to the Supreme Court?
For many years we received the current issue of The Economist on Saturday. As of a few months ago it now comes three or four days later- Tuesday or Wednesday. Good grief!
That was our first new car, back in 1970... we put a lot of miles on it. Yes, a slant six.
Just kidding about the wife- still working on the first and only one of those. She's got a lot of miles on her, too. :)
@msf- If someone with your intellectual capacity and communication resources can run into a brick wall like this can you just imagine what a poor person with limited education and limited resources is up against when dealing with almost any aspect o…
I personally know for an absolute fact that redlining was vigorously practiced in San Francisco by real-estate brokers. In the late fifties/early sixties a close friend worked for a real estate broker, and she bragged about how they prevented "incur…
@Derf- yeah, my wife and I have often talked about how it's getting to be that people can't just go someplace and use cash or a credit card... gotta have some absurdly expensive internet gizmo just to buy a sandwich in some places. Forget it... we a…
@Crash- oh, come on man- you make it sound as if you're the only one getting this crap. It's got nothing to do with Apple, nothing to do with you or your setup. First of all, those texts were not from Amazon, and Amazon doesn't have you "mixed up" w…
Well, Washington Week in Review has always been primarily focused on the politics and happenings emanating from or mainly concerning Washington and the Federal Government. Not so much on more general or local stuff- that is typically covered by the …
@Catch22: Catch, since Ted isn't here to badmouth your posting, I'll attempt to hold up his end of the deal: All of that stuff is garbage, and no one cares anyway.
:) :) :)
@LewisBraham: Baseball fan evidently copes by reducing complex issues to simplistic slogans.
Taxes = Communism". "Communism = Socialism".
He's surely not unique in this... lots of people operate the same way: cf. "Donald Trump and followers".
@Sven- obviously you haven't been keeping up with the latest "woke talk". "Him/her" is no longer valid. I think it's supposed to be "him/her/they/them/it" or something like that now.
More to your point, I don't think that very many of us actually p…
My decision to not buy a home near a golf course in Buffalo NY proves to have been a good one. In the manner of reports by FD1000, I have no need to provide further details or specifics. :)
No "envy" here... our money has been made for some years and I wish everyone else success also.
But skepticism regarding constant boasting, with absolutely no corroborating information? You'd better believe it.
Yes, these are all Federal Government Agencies. There are many "Government Agencies" other than at the Federal level. The question was a general one, so was the answer.
@MikeM- Hello there- long time no talk to you. I would hazard a guess that "government agencies" would essentially be municipal bonds. For example, a government agency that supplies electricity to local customers could issue a revenue bond, with the…
"I don't think that crypto was designed as an investment vehicle, but it seems that that is what it has turned into."
Not at all. Just because some people choose to refer to it as an "investment" doesn't make it so.
Quite a number of Americans cho…
