I wonder if using The Onion Router or an ordinary PRIVATE window
while fare-shopping might still work to defeat the slimebags?
Using "The Onion Router" (i.e., Tor browser) should allow users to remain anonymous.

Of course. Dick Biondi is Chicago legend. We were absolutely listening to the exact same broadcasts around that time frame. I would have been listening starting around 1965/1966 and beyond, until FM got a foothold in the 1970's. I was 6 or 7 then, b…
Apparently he can unilaterally rename anything that flits across his attention span. I'm going to suggest that he rename the already renamed Gulf of America to The Gulf of Trump. Surprised he didn't think of that himself.
While we're at it how abou…
Brain dead, indeed. And utterly socially inept. Not to mention that he is a malignant narcissist. With, as Susie Wiles put it, "an alcoholic personality."

"Since when was a simple pipeline, with boring utility-style returns and point-to-point delivery, a more attractive investment than an LNG export megaproject that exploits double-digit ROI global arbitrage opportunities?"

Gravity. Everything that escapes from the Capitol and falls down its steps just smells like garbage. Transparency? Disclosure? Who needs THAT? Excuse me while I go vomit AGAIN.
EWS is going nowhere fast. Bought just a few more again today. It may very well turn out to be a dividend producer, more than any sort of growth holding. Non-diversified, concentrated portfolio. Yield = between 3%-4%. I was too late for the huge run…
Great move, @Sven!
Congratulations, @Bobpa.

L/S funds... Not my cup of meat. "Yes, I'm guilty as charged: I did it, but I did not enjoy it." One foot in, one foot out? I've a positive impression of Rieder, anyhow. I let the linked interview pass me by, anyhow.

@hank truth.
And yet, I like to keep the Zurich Axioms in mind. Some may say they're worthless because they're not "actionable." But is investing an Art or a Science? The answer is, YES. "Zurich" is a set of broad principles, not a particular recipe…
