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.
"The executive order is part of a broad deregulatory push under the Trump administration, which has rolled back restrictions on cryptocurrency investments, closed regulatory probes into the industry and loosened banking industry rules."
"The private equity industry has in recent years struggled to raise money from the pension funds and endowments that it has relied on historically. Groups such as Blackstone and Apollo predict that accessing 401k plans could deliver hundreds of billions of dollars in new industry assets."
This has nothing to do with the fact that he's in-bed with the crypto lobby and the PE folks are in bed with his Treasury and Commerce secretaries, right?

Sometimes local groceries have “sale prices” posted on items (in big numbers). But the very fine print on the tag says you need to “clip” a coupon somewhere - I assume with your cell phone at their company website. So I pass on such items and buy what I need somewhere else, even if it costs a little more. Who has time to play games like that? Just post the frickin price of the item!
Another trick noted by others above is the “store discount card”. Geez. I’m supposed to keep a dozen different store cards in my wallet? 3 debit / credit cards is as much as my pea brain can manage!

It's merely a "coincidence" my friend...
