I see what ICE and DHS are doing to people and I want to rip my teeth out. I'm reminded of the Bruce Cockburn song. "If I had a rocket launcher, some sonofabitch would DIE!"
I am so far beyond indignant.
A clueless, petulant, Orange Child is in ch…
...And I wonder how long the Orange Pus will take before he pardons THIS crypto-scum?

It might be tempting to overload my boat with equities, but I just can't bring myself to do it. With wife's IRA and the MMkt, we hold just 10 positions; five are OEFs and a single ETF, which offers international exposure, along with single-stock BLX…
"As of last night, 500 Index (VFIAX) has gained 17.7% this calendar year.
That’s on the heels of returning 26.2% in 2023 and 25.0% in 2024.
Even if 2025’s return doesn’t crack the 20% line, there’s no denying that 500 Index shareholders
have enjoyed…
Screw Orange Donny. Monster, is right! They should all be sent to filthy jail. Meanwhile, the U.N.'s truth-teller, F. Albanese, is suffering personally under sanctions, trying to do her job. All because the Orange rat-fart and his minions want to hi…
@Crash - I don't know what you meant to convey with your stock rover link above but all I saw there was words of praise for the StockRover website and an invitation to sign up. Not complaining just describing where it led.
Ah, thanks, Mark. I guess …
"Democratic candidates swept last month’s off-year elections and performed better than usual in last Tuesday’s House race in a bright-red Tennessee district."

USA is pretty much totally overbought. Multiples too high. Nosebleed range. I'm steering clear of EM, however, and Europe. So, I've put myself into a rather small box in terms of prospects. ...Too late, methinks, to get in on the EU defence industry…

"...Indirectly, the retirement savings of U.S. military members and government employees are aiding China’s techno-industrial ambitions, according to data I received that included the plan’s holdings up to the end of 2024..."

A blast from the past.
BTW - Bonnie Raitt also did a nice job with this song. Very similar approach. But I think Rondstadt's version came out first.
I recall this one. Did some looking, to track down the lyrics. Looks like it was a Tom T. Hall c…
EWS fell off the table today after I bought a few more. Weather? Flooding? Tsunami? The end of the world? Still not a bad cost basis at all, with a long-term hold in mind. Can't find any explanation.
Clearly, the influence of uncle Vlad is all over the contents of this thing. I'd still love to know just exactly what sort of kompromat Vlad is holding over the head of the Orange Doink.
....And the Russians blowing apart Ukraine. Little Marco claimed great progress had been achieved? Bushwah. "Ready. Fire! Aim."

I'll believe the Repugnants have lost the majority when I see it. They have been and are actively doing whatever they can to cheat, to set the stage for a rigged election, while hiding under the mere semblance of legitimacy. it's subterfuge and sedi…
My very soul aches for this country. On the other hand, I ask again: how dumb does one have to be in order to vote for the Orange Menace TWICE? Does the U.S. simply deserve to fail? "We get the 'leaders' we deserve."
Ya, the days go by faster and faster. My final single-stock divvy for '25 will arrive already, next Friday. My son has his Christmas gift money from us now, already. Next week, MFs will start paying in quick succession. Misty little rain shower here…
Ya, he's worse, but it's difficult to measure, since he started in the first place with zero knowledge about the Constitution and the very purpose of government. Everything to him is about the Benjamins. That's the frame he instinctively sees around…
