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.
I keep hoping against hope. But the bottom line is simply this: too many US voters are simply ignorant. Easily persuaded, not able to think critically. Ready to believe Fake (Fox) "News." For example, this is what I hear around me, often: "Republica…

Let's see what happens when I press *THIS* lever... (Oh, shit! I guess we shouldn't call it a war, after all.) Spineless on The Hill. Make a good name for a memoir, eh?
Boom. And last I heard, Massie (R-KY) will not drop his objection to the Warsh confirmation until this junk is behind us. I can certainly understand his thinking.
"...Have I missed anybody?"
Can't help myself. Tongue in cheek:
They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore. Kinky Friedman & The Texas Jewboys.
"And there's one little Heeb from the heart of Texas..."
"...and sometimes it just takes 1 idiot."
Trump: "When oil prices go up, we make a lotta money!"
Does anybody, anywhere, think he should be taken seriously, still?!
Still down from my high by just -2.21%. No fun, but no panic here. 52 stocks, 46 bonds, 2 cash.
A dividend arrived today, too. Uncle Scotty at Treasury (?????) says US warships will escort traffic through Hormuz. Radar and sonar ought to do the tr…

I got caught selling several shares too early and forfeited about $14.00 or so to TRP. Anyhow, I'm letting everything ride for now. Dividend due today from a single-stock holding, but I'll stick it into the MMkt rather than to reinvest it t…
Grace Potter is so hot. Best legs in show business. Great cover! Saw her LIVE once. The volume-level made my entire body hurt. I dunno why I didn't walk out early. We paid for seats, but could not use them: everyone was standing, and the space betwe…
I've not read that Paxton has withdrawn. I giggled at the TRUTH of it, to read that "he's been plagued by corruption trouble since he was in nursery school." Paxton is filth. Any alternative that is not Repugnant would be better. But (sigh) that's n…
The Orange Child is clueless. The Iranians don't even need a strategy. They just have to keep at it, even asymmetrically, in isolated terroristic incidents. They don't need to win. They win by not admitting defeat. And forcing other nations to spend…
Three MORE ships hit. One minor fire, 2 others abandoned and ablaze not far from Basra. (12 March, '26.)

Not me. I'm holding more losers than winners at the moment. So, "next time you tell me something, make it news!" LOL. Wouldn't you know I threw money at Japan just before this STOOPID war? 95% of its fuel comes through Hormuz. Brilliant move again, …
Ya, well. But some some of US cannot be held responsible for the swirling whirlwind of Orange MAGA puke, all around.
A lesson I've become convinced about: comfortable people do not make serious changes in their way of thinking, or their politics, …
...And yet, the fact that so many were willing--- twice--- to vote for an unethical convicted felon and pedophile abuser does not say nothing. I will assert that this fact alone is an indictment of our society. About half of the voting public, anyho…
Taxes reflect priorities, both who gets taxed, the amounts they are taxed, and where those taxes are directed. The US is an ethical shambles, by that measure.
And I'm moving this item here from a different thread, because it fits:
