Languages need a singular third person pronoun that refers to either male or female. I mean, how many times can you say or write "he or she" and "him or her" before you just wanna scream for mercy. It's easier to say "they" in those cases, but it ne…
but in the spirit of this convo, i am grappling with a nice problem to have. there will be significant travel expenses in 2025 for us. the good news is that we can afford it by saving plus taking, rather than reinvesting dividends. but oh, how i hat…
Made me giggle. So many absurd, over-specialized specialties these days people call themselves just about anything. Even "they," when there's but one person there...
Can't bring myself to do it just quite yet. waiting for end-of-year pay-outs. do some rearranging, after. reduce risk, hopefully, by such moves. mostly i do a lotta NUTHIN' all the time.
Dec. 9, 2024 Barron's notes from yogi's own page:

abalx= 'redemptions only,' per schwab. ... seems to put it out of my reach. i do see that cgbl is concentrated into its top 10 holdings. but its top ten's top 2 are in bonds, not stocks.
i am leaning into cgbl, thanks to you guys. i also see rlbg…
yes, i'm often running into the same stuff, too. catch as catch can. m-star is one screwed up puppy. reliable when they feel like it. can't say enough bad things about m-star.

I'm with @Mona.
We know your moral compass. We're not buying your stuff, plain and simple. Same reason we are appalled by the Orange douche nozzle. Bye.
