Howdy folks,
I've tried to follow his advice since his book, what 20 years ago? It includes doing your homework as mentioned above, but it goes further. He posited in his book that each and every person has some bit of knowledge that can be explo…
Howdy,
Wifey and I have been with TRP for a couple of decades. I have a brokerage account and have NEVER had a problem and I play junior Canadian silver mining penny stocks.
and so it goes

Howdy folks,
Online gamblings is a huge issue up in Michigan as Hank pointed out. Wifey has to track this for her job. The money the state is receiving is obscene.

Howdy all,
Baseballfan. Point taken. That's my issue with paypal. They hold the wallet and you can only use your bitcoin within their system. You can't move it out but can only sell it to them or use it to buy stuff thru them. feh. I want to …
Howdy folks,
Jon, you're correct. Because of your DCA via paypal, I googled it. It's their wallet and while you can buy it through them, they keep it possession of it. You can sell it to them and take your 'profits'. You can use it to purchase …
Howdy folks,
It's all so Jonestown. We're watching a significant percentage of the population almost willingly commit suicide and there's not really much we can do. That said, and never at a loss for suggestions, here you go.
Make if worth their…
Howdy folks,
PayPal will let you buy bitcoin BUT they hold it and you cannot withdraw, buy nor sell it. It's only for purchases you make using PayPal.

Howdy folks,
Nice discussion and Hank is spot on. The gold and silver markets are weird due to their very nature, particularly gold. For centuries it was basis for all currencies and while no longer legally so, it still impacts the actions of cen…
Howdy folks,
Wifey and I have had our 1st shot. She about a week before me. Both Moderna. She normally reacts more than I for our shots but in this case, other than point of injection tenderness, NOTHING for either of us. Apparently, the 2nd p…
Howdy folks,
Change is inevitable. The urban centers will survive albeit differently than many will remember or approve.
Always liked this song from the 70's about NYC.

Howdy folks,
We'll see. I still have a few shares of SPCE and I'll keep them. It's more a bet on Branson and technological advances than the schedule feh.

Howdy folks,
As predicted the bosses got involved and raised the margin requirements for silver by 17.9 %.
That's OK. I'm not buying, nor selling.
Take care and stay safe,

Howdy folks,
Ah, the days when the Hunt Bros tried to corner the market. I was finishing my degree in Economics at MSU financed by GI Bill and selling my silver stash into the market. It was a fun time.
Indeed, the silver squeeze is ON but as n…
Howdy folks,
Watching the news, it's getting crazier and crazier. Baseball_Fan may be correct that this could lead to something larger. Let's face it, stocks are way overvalued as is the market. We all know this. Granted, there are a lot of rea…
Howdy folks,
Thanks Dan. This sort of evolution in the market should Not impact most of us. We're not playing those games. It sure is fun to watch. Shit, we went thru this with datelining.

Howdy folks,
I more curious than concerned. You make a great point in that hedge fund managers and their influence over Washington. Retail investors can't match. Gee, welcome to America. Ever since elections got so expensive and contributions r…
Howdy folks,
Hope everyone is staying safe and getting their shot as soon as possible.
I've long believed that the Evangicals are not even Christians, but indeed are worshipers of the Anti-Christ. Jesus preached love and tolerance, while they pr…
Howdy folks,
Here in Michigan, it's pretty much the same - demand outstripping supply. Wifey and I are 72 and signed up everywhere we can but everything is full at this time. It's a daily routine now - check the sites for availability. What is …
Howdy folks,
Hope this finds you all well and safe.
We use Dominion in Michigan. I was a member of my townships election commission and had to certify the process three times this past year (i.e. two primaries and the general). They're spot on a…
Howdy folks,
Hope this finds everyone safe and well.
It appears the Plan is to grab as much $ as possible, breaking any and all laws as needed, and for Donald to give blanket pardons on Jan 20.

Howdy folks,
You beat me three it. Good article and much food for thought.
You cannot have viable capitalism without competition. Handicapping a percentage of your population with either inadequate health care or education is not competitive but…
Howdy folks,
I too dread the 2nd wave. We've learned a lot and come a long way but still not practicing safety in sufficient quarters. The kids have been locked up all summer and now they're back in school and being kids. All age levels with col…
Howdy folks,
I stated my opinion that Trump is one of the most incompetent leaders of a major power of all time. A friendly amendment was offered up to say at least since the monarchies. Works for me.
Now my opinion that Trump is worse than Hitl…
Howdy folks,
Derf. Perhaps it will be a short term play. Right now, we seem to be doing all the wrong things in response to the virus. Throw in the political uncertainty and I want to hedge my entire portfolio away from the dollar. Most of the …
Howdy folks,
I was giving Old_Skeet slack in spite of his loud, obnoxious and blatant trolling because he had been a long time contributor and therefore had earned it. While not that active towards the end, it was for similar reasoning I gave sla…
Howdy folks,
The vaccine is being rushed and without independent verification as to it's efficacy and safety, I wont' even consider getting it. Are you crazy? WHO is thinking we'll have something by next summer. Trump will have one before the el…

Seems all the news media including FOX are endorsing the story. In addition Mayor Pete had the best rebuttal about the 4* Generals not speaking out. 'their silence is everything and means it's all true'. [note to board, this was the quic…
Howdy folks,
Everyone is correct and I love you folks.
Trump cannot understand how anyone could ever do anything that didn't reward them directly in a way that's easily measured - like money. He's not made up that way. We all know this. That…
Howdy expatsp/all,
You pretty much list the biggies. However, I see some of these as givens.
1. The vaccine 'promise' won't matter because at this point, not enough people are going to take it. feh. Wifey and I got our flu shots day before …

Keeping politics off of a discussion group on investing in mutual funds -- it simply cannot be done. Sorry. Too many investing decisions are based upon political realities.

Nice thread and I've learned a lot. Got a shopping list.
Way back in Vietnam we were completely tax exempt. Completely. Cigarettes were $1.40 a carton or $0.15 a pack. Chivas was $5.00 a 5th. In the Corps, enlisted couldn't buy…

Hi Mona,
The revolution will not only be live, it will be streaming on your phone.
"Get ready, little lady. Hell is coming to breakfast."
Wish it wasn't so.
Take care,

Howdy,
I am a big believer in dividend paying stocks that I do business with. T is paying 7%. Check your utilities. When you pay your monthly bill, you're paying yourself.
