Just now, IAT (domestic Regional Banks ETF) +0.82%. I use that one for comparison against my holding, --- BHB--- which is up wildly today, but, hey: it was way overdue after several days down and treading water.....
ET midstream oil/gas LP is way…
Sure. (HI:) Mazie Hirono is up for reelection. Can't even get anyone at her office to pick up the phone or call back. Same with uncle Ed Case (House of Rep.) Different story with Sen. B. Schatz. Quite responsive. Mazie and Ed will have to do without…
Hmmm... Years ago, Horrocks was a genius, and Lou Rukheyser interviewed him as Manager of the year. Was it M* that selected him for the honor? I owned MACSX. Since then, I wonder if he has become the sand in the gears? Is the problem child making hi…
I just listened. Cuban impressed me. I've listened to Sam Harris before. He does not impress me. At least he is sane and reasonable. The ironclad, unquestioning, blind and absolute support for Israel is a sticking point with me.
Excellent. Thanks for letting the rest of us know. Whose column is that? I'm guessing it's Jason Zweig?
.......Just went to ValueInvestorClub.com and nothing about the sign-up process is working. I attempted it three times. Harumph. Better things …
@AndyJ: yup. Repeat the lies often enough, people start to believe them. Joey Goebbels. That's the sort of behavior they're engaged in. Emulating a "man" like HIM.
.....And back to Standard Time, unless you're in HI or AZ. And a few counties in Indiana. I went to school in southern Indiana. The town does not change their clocks. Remarkable to see an Iowa poll showing Harris in the lead, there. "538" shows the …
Ya, and I've heard some bunk at the point of sale about the fee being reverted and charged back to the customer: it's not the merchant charging the CC fee back to me, they said; it's the customer paying the merchant for the privilege of using the ne…
The Trumpsters will immediately move to legal challenges if he loses. Maybe in the Congressional races, too. I belong to neither major Party. But you can smell it in the air, no less than I can smell garlic here in Hawaii from miles away, because no…
Open wide the doors, so that more people can shoot themselves in the foot? If I'm not already a day-trader, how is this of benefit to me? After hours. Or before the next morning's opening. Playing with Futures prices. I am "long" with all my stuff. …
Sen. Welch (VT) has got it right.
And I'm tired of the Political Correctness atmosphere in which you must conform and contort your words even before you can speak them, for fear that anything you might utter could offend a Martian hermaphrodite who…
If you don't think you're getting the price you want, you could always take the div in cash and place a limit order yourself.
Precisely what I have learned to do. I'm a Schwab customer.
I had it on the radio, sort of almost paying attention. I was tuned-into that 5th inning rally, but did not catch the errors. Yes, the Yanks killed themselves.
No, and that's a damn shame. In 2000, I was in Canada for the USA election. They were laughing up there, because Americans simply can't count. But what the Orange Trumpy Flab-Bag has initiated is bad faith, underhanded, cynical, even lethal, crimina…
Looks like the Yanks might hang on to win. Bottom 8th, man on 2nd. One out. Extending the season----- so Yanks fans are hoping. Yanks lead, 6-4. There have been a couple of booted plays by the Dodgers in the 8th. ...Now two men on base: after a doub…
Will Dodgers sweep tonight? The baseball world is looking at every pitch of every at-bat Freddie Freeman takes tonight. Going back to his Atlanta days, he's hit HRs now, in 5 straight WS games. Will tonight be #6? Simply incredible.
I've bumped int…
I heard on the PBS news that a particular car was identified as suspect. Catch the a-hole(s.) Then separate them from their gonads. Slowly.

Dodgers win Game 2 of the 2024 WS. So, they are up by 2 games against the Yankees. And the WS moves to the Right Coast from the Left Coast. Sunday, today, is a travel day. But Ohtani's shoulder is a concern, now. I've not been watching, just grabbin…
Well. I won't argue with the numbers, then. Yes, my two junk funds are TUHYX and PRCPX. The former is two and a half times bigger than the latter. And I also hold Investment Grade WCPNX. I got into my junk just exactly at the wrong time, before the…
Shall I be the contrarian? Seems to me that ultra-low duration only serves to churn the portfolio. BBBMX shows less than a year, effective duration; and for your trouble, you get a 4.74% yield. My considerable holdings in junk offer, on a weighted a…
@Crash Yeah, my feeling exactly... Alas, Chucky charges for these orders while Fido does not. Hopefully, this one trade won't gobble up all the $$ I've saved with Fido so far. :)
By the same token, Chucky will reinvest your dividends for you, if in…
Crash Davis' "goodbye" speech to Annie Savoy on the night they met:
1:34: I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing the Designated Hitter.
