Re Marty Zweig
Clip from October 16, 1987 “Wall Street Week”. Zweig is the first panelist interviewed (6 minutes in). He’s warning about something bad about to happen in the markets. Three days later, Black Monday October 19, stocks around the worl…
Fidelity Nat. Resources: FNARX. The climb has already begun.
Less impressive y-t-d is PRNEX, TRP.
.....Tough to find, without a load. JEEZ. I understand that the various brokers have arrangements to waive the load. I've never used the brokers. Oh…
@yogibearbull. I stand corrected. @Mark, good article. I suppose owning AGNC would require more than a bit of vigilance... But the author is convinced that the thing is beat down enough to make it a helluva good play right now. Thank you both.
This is a good reminder for all of us.

Hey, thank you for those links. I'd forgotten.
Go, Bills! This New Englander never did like the "Pats."
"The weather will certainly be a factor with the temperature at game time at 8:15 p.m. expected to be in the single digits and wind chills well below zero. In fact it could be one of the cold…
Helluva div. on RIO, I see. I'm still holding onto ENIC in Chile. Can't technically explain the big fall since I bought, but it's back up to $2.00 today..... I bought at $2.97. I thought THAT was a bargain at the time. I might add more shares after …
Hmmmm. "Alternatives." What are we talking about, there? Bitcoin? Inverse leveraged 3X warthog belly futures? "...considerable overlap among current and the new committees."
Remember: "A camel is a horse put together by a committee." So th…
@rono I'm so glad you chimed in. I'm reminded by your words of the Ace fighter pilot, Robin Olds, who had the chance to meet and talk with LBJ. On the History Channel, his daughter quoted him this way:
"Mr. President, with all due respect to you a…
I've taken my small-cap fund down to almost nothing, at 1.62% of portfolio. Why hang on at all? It's a closed fund. PRDSX. ...Ah, but I see it's re-opened. OK. Still doesn't change the fact that I don't like the volatility. Over the past couple of d…
2021 was suck-ass--- apart from my portfolio. Banished phrases? Ya, everyone must quit saying "reach out" when they mean CONTACTING someone. I hate that one. On the other hand, "Eat my shorts" is just timeless.
@bee, as always thank you for the links. Took pre-retirement class at work, but there are many aspects of preparation for the drawdown and taxes.
@crash, the natural disaster are very hard for many people, especially in countries where the govern…
I won't be joining any blogging group. Thoughts, though: While still saving, it's all about the money. Because of what you can do with it, later. The bigger the pot, the more options you have. In "drawdown" phase, there are just too many variables p…
Of course, I'm not enjoying this at all. But I try to keep in mind that one day's results are just a snapshot. Ben Graham wrote that every day, Mr. Market invites you to sell. I'm not selling. Trusting my Fund Managers. As for my tiny bite in ENIC: …
I understand that Nesmith is real musician of the Monkees cast while the rest are actors. Don’t see him much after the show ended. Nice to learn he continued to write music.
Yes, I only re-discovered him a few years ago.

.....And once again, here on Oahu: new crap is happening: cyberattacks vs. Queen's Health System, the municipal Board of Water Supply and Honolulu EMS. These despicable motherlovers must be caught and made to SUFFER.

"Did they bother to tell me this? No. That would take effort and a sense of responsibility."
INDEED! Seems to me that training for employees at those (effing) Call Centers is woeful. You just have to be lucky enough to connect with someone who's al…
