Thanks very much, @hank. Upon looking a bit deeper I don't like the interval aspect at RSF. Moving along. ...MCI looks attractive so far--- apart from the big premium in price vs. NAV. I'll put it on my watch-list... The simplicity of an OEF might b…
Right. And Orange has rejected all of that, as asserted by his own DNI. (Although... how far can Tulsi be trusted? As far as we can throw her?) The 60% level may just be the thumb in the opposition's eye which Iran insists upon, because it is subjec…
I checked out a few more, after the Nuveen-sponsored website DID load for me, and I could see what was there. But there are huge errors. For example: RSF is 80% equities, but it's listed among HY BONDS. Jaypers slime crud.
Yes. Keep in mind the invasion into Syria which is ongoing, effectively blocking the new Syrian regime from entering and policing its own territory to a great extent. The Israelis have stated they will prohibit Syria's military from operating south …

S. Hersh, 19 June, 2025:
EXCERPT:
...The assumption is that Iran still has some missile and air force capability that will be on US bombing lists. “This is a chance to do away with this regime once and for…
Al Jazeera, 08:30 GMT, Friday:
Russia fears Iran’s destabilisation, would work to prevent ‘regime change:’
Israel’s attacks on Iran, from the Russian perspective, “is a clear attempt to initiate regime change in Iran”, says Nikolay Surkov, a Russia…
a manure pile on a hot, humid day.
Couldn't have said it better. Just add flies. That entire Orange crowd needs to ontologically blind themselves to the very concept of truth and morality, or they'd all be taking the Jim Jones Kool-Aid, rather than…
The US disavowed any part in the latest pre-emptive attack. But they provided intel and weapons. Does Israel yet have the right kind of tool to deploy the bunker-buster bomb on their own? No problem, it could be provided... Iran's gummint sucks mud.…
You should just follow my lead and do the opposite of what I do. I'm a great barometer, that way. I remember the '08-'09 GFC. I was stashing 403b money into EM bonds. It was a great ride. But what I see more recently is that just a few Junk bond fun…
Utterly tactless. The child in any room. Bellicose, melodramatic. The Orange Drama Queen in a suit. And he was elected TWICE. Any wonder that our (former?) largest trading partner is currently developing alternative, reliable new trading partners???…
The cult insulates itself from reality very effectively, blocking Reality like an interior lineman. Playing victim, always. If the stakes were not so vital, it would be pathetic.
...And who can say whether Trumpster encouraged himself to leave G-7 early, following the Carney step-in on the Orange rant about Russia and "Blue-run cities?"

At Crash. If Israel disbanded the I.D. F tomorrow do you think Iran would disband its forces, quit exporting terrorism and everyone would live in peace and harmony?
Sarcasm. Offer me a discuss-able question, if you like.
I just read an article advising folks not to bring their own phones to any demonstration. The regime will be able to identify you if they so choose. It’s come to that.
Fascist slime.
Find him. De-ball him. Cage him. Forget his existence. Until he breathes no more. Grind his bones and scatter them to the four winds. Or dump them at sea, covering the expense via his own assets and family's money.
After the hanging of those conne…
The state of tension between Israel and Iran existed before Bibi and will continue after he leaves office unless Iran has a regime not dedicated to Israel’s destruction. Yup. Truth. It takes both sides to make peace.
Agreed. Both will need to learn…
Crash. Your first sentence could be interpreted as questioning Israel’s legitimacy from the start. I don’t know how to do links but give a listen to Neighborhood Bully by Dylan from 1983.
OK, I'll do that. With regard to 1948 and prior, there was…
At Crash. Your antipathy towards Israel is well documented. I wonder if you can separate Israel’s behavior in Gaza from the way they deal with Iran, which is an existential threat to their very survival? Or put another way, do you think that Isra…
...So much for US "neutrality." Rubio says we had no part in the attacks? Bullshit. And now that Israel is under attack, the US is there in an instant with assistance. Israel COULD be governed by reasonable people. It's just NOT. That regime runs on…
@Crash We didn't have police in the area. And traffic flow was always normal.
NOW.....some local police may be at some locations for traffic management; and for no other needs; as times and events have rapidly changed.
+1.
I do not expect much e…
