Abandoned the sell limit-order on BHB in favor of a Market order this morning. The SOB just has kept falling lately with no let-up. Still managed almost 15% to the upside with it. Proceeds into BLX and with just a smidge into WCPNX. (No partial buy-…
Oligarchy, plutocracy. Exhibit A. I'm just out of vomitus. I'm dry-heaving, by now. Someone, please wake me from this nightmare. Deplorables have won the day. "Drink up all the Kool-Aid, we'll just make more." Reminds me of Soylent Green, too.
"Th…
BUY-SELL-WHY:
I have a sell limit-order to replace BHB with BLX. Change of pace! BHB is fading. I wanna hold onto some goodly profit before it drips away.
the local public LENDING library RENTS DVDs for a $2.00 fee. I won't pay it on principle.
wtf is the principle
Sorry, David. I wasn't listening. Did you mean something like this?
I refused to PAY for entry back in Springfield into a tax-suppor…
I smell another GFC again....... Big Money can NEVER be trusted to police itself. The Banksters want to sue? They know the Trumpster regime (sic) will be supportive.
BUY-SELL-WHY.
I am bird-dogging BHB. A SELL candidate. Remember the day after the election? Everything popped. It's been fading into the woodwork, since. Still holding a 16% profit. Mr. Market does not like the idea of fewer rate cuts looming. No su…

Even the local public LENDING library RENTS DVDs for a $2.00 fee. I won't pay it on principle. And I can do just fine at no cost with Roku-available channels. My curiosity always finds something. It's rare that I sit to watch for an extended period.…
Again, the Kool-Aid wino shows up to throw a grenade.
He created his own Kool-Aid reality and was able to illuminate
himself by it. ...Richard Brautigan, "Trout Fishing In America."
sarcasm there. Repugnants blocked the report from being published until now. A lame duck gesture. Re: Garland: ya don't indict unless you know you're going to win.
"A president valuing personal loyalty over professional competence would no longer face any institutional resistance."
Can anyone guess which finger I'm holding up?

We signed up for a free week of Discovery+ in order to watch a 4-part series. We were astounded at the number and frequency of ads. I assume if you pay double the intro rate, you get no ads. No interest in that, just a confirmation of why we don’t w…
Good points, OJ. I prefer grapefruit, pink or otherwise. Same difference. I do expect inflation, though much more tame, will not soon fall to 2%. But a recent check of airfares --- for summertime--- feels almost palatable.
He's certainly got his plan and is sticking to it. I look around and see a new Cold War with Russia and China. And Latin America? The street gangs and drug/gun cartels have more influence than actual gummints. Though I hasten to add that a criminal …
ORK. Ya. Not much , as you say, for the discriminating reader. I believe I've settled on a new home for some money now sitting in the Weitz core-plus bond fund WCPNX. Since we are being told by the FED not to expect so many rate cuts, and those cuts…
Yes, the House finally passed a CR. Senate expected to vote soon after. Then Prez needs to sign. I suppose we are in the clear... for now. Federal spending is out of hand, anyhow. Not buying, just riding the roller coaster. Dramamine required.

Not much to say from me, this time. Good conversations, but no surprises. Junk still looks good. Also leveraged loans, bank loans. Stay very short on duration.
@hank WEA interesting. Big "cash" position, but looks like a ton of shorts, there. CEF. The predictability of monthly pay-out is a plus, from where I sit.
Lawsuit against the pollster and Des Moines Register fits with the ABC/Stephanopoulos case. The Orange Scum is deliberately intimidating the media. This is fascist behavior.
Justice still does exist in France. At least to this degree, unlike the USA.

The whole Big Picture simply disgusts me. Repugnant Party has morphed into a Trump-cult, going back to his first election. I can't equate Dems and Reps as equally bad. McConnell, R. Paul, Chip Roy, K. McCarthy, M. Johnson, along with so many others…
Yesterday, 18th Dec, when everything fell out of bed:
As has been consistently the case, my "ordinary" junk bond funds outperformed my other stuff. They are my least volatile things.
Ten consecutive days down, in the Markets:

kakistocracy, indeed. Banana Republic.
But the majority of voters actually voted-in the kakistocracy. Which is very telling as to the collective intelligence and moral backbone of those voters.

Yes, Mr. Market always overreacts. "The Street" expected more rate cuts than we are going to actually get. I could smell that coming. Maybe most of us in here? I suppose it was fortuitous that my biggest holding paid off for the year today. PRWCX.
