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.
@sven. That’s exactly where our house is investing. We are not adding anything to US equity and working towards 50/50 or even more ex US than that. I keep going back to a two fund portfolio of Dodge and Global Stock Fund and Dodge and Cox Global B…
We can't bear the thought of moving again. When I was single and a professional student, it was much easier. If need be, the entire EU "is our oyster." (Or indeed, the UK.) Georgia and Albania will allow even tourists to remain for a whole year
@larryB, what i meant is to allocate our investment more toward foreign stocks and bond. They are closer to 50/50 US vs foreign. For a long time US stocks have done well, but time has changed with this administration.
While our family had the fo…
You gotta hand it to Trump on one thing... he'll screw anyone and everyone, even if they vote for him. He's an equal-opportunity bastard.
But, but, but... In all fairness: other bastards possess consciences and a sense of empathy.
This is what the Repugnant Party has become: in a word, anti-truth. Pretext, prevarication, misconstrual, mischaracterization, falsification, dissembling, lying. And don't forget self-serving. Orwell's "Ministry of Truth." And about half the country…
Orange bag of unspeakable arrogant corruption and destruction. Get him out of there. 25th. Impeach. Repugnant majority on The Hill are a pile of celery-flavored Jello. Spectators. Gawd, I'm hoping for a huge opposition win in '26, but he and they ar…
Thanks, @Sven. The next time we're at the Novato Costco I'll take a look at the chicken rotisserie.
...We seldom buy those. More often for my wife. We have neighbors who buy them instead of dog food for the dog. Cheaper. But those dead chickens are …
Question for @Crash- OK, what is this "pale" thing that we're "beyond"?
NO CHEATING- No fair looking that up. :)
Grin. I actually know the answer: a group of counties including Dublin and environs nearby, marked as under the control of the Briti…
SS wants you to set up an online account so they have a pretext not to send you anything via paper snailmail anymore. That's what this smells like to me. I know for a fact that was their policy, going back a number of years, even before the Orange C…
I'm going to leave now, so my barfing does not disturb other people. "I think I should be where other people are not." ---Hugh Grant as "Charley" in Four Weddings And A Funeral.

I just bought this item and started in. Lots of charts, graphs. Ugh. Not my cup of meat. And his style is appropriate to his explanations, so I can't complain. It's just very plodding and detail-focu…
"That rug really tied the room together." ---Jeffrey Lebowski. Despite himself, The Dude abides.
I remember reading here at MFO that (CrossingBridge) David Sherman severely dislikes REITS, because at any moment, new shares can be created, thus dilu…
Thanks for the responses. Real Estate? I've sworn off R.E., but can't help tracking Ryman Hospitality. RHP. It's down -0.68% on the day, while the markets generally are surging today. Monday, 20 October at 2:40 p.m. in the East. Stock Rover sees 31%…
Candor is wonderful to see. I seldom buy or sell. Still holding my Latam banks. Last week sucked. But Schwab just upgraded one of them from "B" to "A." As ever, my confirmation bias is happy when such a thing occurs. No changes since... forever re: …
The Orange Criminal is a criminal. That pleases you? Criminal President? Medical coverage for illegals? Clearly you're watching too much Fixed Noise.
Due process is a throwaway for you, eh? @FD1000.
Somewhere in human history there must have been at least one king with an altruistic or benevolent streak. A better question, @Old_Joe, is to ask if FD1000 desires to restrict liberty and justice for all except his cronies.
He's not responding, of…
Same here: a great many Boomers, I'd guesstimate. But I wonder about the median age here in Hawaii? And what was actually the age-mix at the Honolulu rally at the State House? We did have lots of others, not grey-haired or bald. A boomer-era guitari…
