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.
Yeah, not great, but in the big picture, not that big a deal. There will be uses for natural gas for quite a while, including use as feedstock for various chemical purposes. It's called "compromise".
To enlarge on yogi's comments, note that your account at Schwab shows the "Market Value" of your CD. Because the best return on currently offered CDs is around 3%, and your CD is paying 3.55%, it would be worth more to someone desiring to buy it fro…
It's a real shame that it's come to this sort of thing, but whatever it takes to overcome the lies, deceit, and outright subversion of the democratic voting process needs to be done.

Interesting that Wells Fargo had to resort to this particular channel to raise funds. Perhaps they are still hurting from their long series of misdeeds, he said hopefully.
Pathetic it is, for sure. But there is absolutely no lower limit to the depths that Trumpists will go in order to take over this country, by force if necessary, as has been amply documented. If this sort of thing is of any help in preventing that, t…

That would seem to suggest that the market is reacting to conditions specific to the chipmaking industry and has li…
The current strength in tech, despite the Fed actions, may be due to the Senate actually passing a $280 B bill to promote science and chip production in the US, mostly as a response to China's increasingly hostile agenda. While (if typical) a fair a…
There's a huge barely tapped gasfield in the Mediterranean offshore from Israel and adjacent countries, and another similar field over near Cyprus. Up till now various political issues have prevented significant utilization of these fields. It would…
