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.
Core bonds don't scratch my itch. For several years I've stayed with a couple of TRP junk funds. I'm not looking for them to go anywhere, just produce reinvestable monthly dividends. The pie gets bigger, about every 30 days. If the share price rises…
Dodgers win, 5-3. A 3-run HR turned the tide. I am curious about something else: i had been told that the NL had adopted the DH. (SHOULD be unconstitutional.) Ohtani started as Pitcher. Later I saw him designated as "P-DH." ... Um... WTF? But earlie…
Now a fun fact. I only have known a few people who were actually receiving ACA subsidies and privileges. All are Trump supporters!
Yes, I know one family, around where I live, personally. Trump supporters. Strange bedfellows!
No. But the description of your misadventures had me riveted. Genius, using your phone. The unwelcome proliferating pest in these parts is the Rhinoceros Coconut Beetle. RCB, for short. Like Stonewall Jackson once uttered: "kill 'em all."
Dodgers now. Late coffee, then something stronger. Tied 0-0 in 2nd. W.C. Fields: "All things considered, I think I'd rather be in Philadelphia." Citizens Bank Park MUST be better than old Veterans Stadium. Dreadful.
Go, Dodger BLUE! Next year, bac…
Game not quite over yet. It's never over till it's over. But let's hope the Jays use up a lotta spare runs scored in this Game 1. Don't wanna see a blowout like this again vs. Yanks. Bottom of 8th in Toronto, Jays up 7-1. .....Now 8-1, no outs.
Time for the 25th Amendment to be employed. Will it happen? No. Repugnants are spineless spectators. It was 25th Amendment time during the first term, already. Impeached twice, but invertebrate Repugnants just lay down and stayed quiet in the face o…
Strangely, Schwab classifies this stock as US CORE, in financials. But it operates in LatAm and the Caribbean. I believe they get their skinny from Morningstar.
Well, well, well.
One of those industry self-appreciation events. Just saw this, dated 03 October, '25.

Glad to see the Cubs doing it. I'm happy that you're happy re: the Tigers, even without Billy Chapel, eh? I'm glad the Dodgers advanced. And the Bronx Bombers shut-out the Sox. They must retreat to Fenway PAHK now, until April.
:)
Oh, no. My life is ruined. Thomas Aquinas, too?????? I'd love for the extra 20 pounds I'm wearing to just fall off, like that song about the tequila:
"Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off."
Hey, Pete: check back in about 30 years... Maybe you'll be …
Exceedingly and superfluously accurate in all respects. Could have included a lot more 4-letter words, because the Orange Sludge just simply deserves it.
Lots of rivalry juices flowing. Top 8th, still tied. Bos at NY.
......Yanks up by one run with 2 out, then load the bases and can score no more. Like yesterday in the 9th. Poopies. Yanks lead 4-3, with 3 outs to go, if they can keep the Sox from sco…
Still 52 stocks 47 bonds. Chuck tells me that 4% of my stocks are international. Take that with a pound of salt. 7.81% of the full portfolio is company X outa Panama. Another, outa P.R. is 3.86% of total (not total stocks.) The single stocks have be…
Just want to mention: Wed Oct 1st, '25 p.m. SWVXX yield = 3.98%. I'll tough it out here, growing some short-term money for next year's fancy trip. I guess I won't miss the difference between 3.98% and 4.00%. Yes, it could slide further down.
Seems to me that at least in terms of the logic at work, a prohibited speech Rule operates the same as would a Rule requiring compelled speech?
You must not say X, or on the other hand:
You must say X.
“Despite the strong economic growth we saw in the second quarter, this month’s release further validates what we’ve been seeing in the labor market, that US employers have been cautious with hiring,” said Nela Richardson, chief economist at ADP.

Glad to hear. The Yanks pulled defeat from the jaws of victory today. Should have left Fried pitch longer. There is no God. I'll be cheering for the Cubbies.
Malice paired with incompetence; what a combo.
Thank goodness for baseball playoffs. But it will not erase the the erasure of the Rule of Law. Leadership???? More like Chief Cook and Saboteur.
Gonna get out of the house tomorrow and watch baseball at a favorite Irish pub in Waikiki. Sox/Yanks and Redlegs/Dodgers. And Fish & Chips. Difficult to find around these parts. (Thread drift, much? LOL.) And for all of you Red Sox fans:
Do your usual; keep complaining with a class.
Wait, what about the end of democracy?
Orange Disgrace has shown us that democracy is doomed when those in responsible positions do not act in good faith, or even actively work to sabotage democracy. Ye…
A 100% tariff on prescriptions which people (like myself) need cannot be dissembled about and minimized. Add to that, the fact that many postal services around the world have chosen to simply stop all shipments of packages into the U.S. Why? There …
