Is he dead yet?
TDS? Totally degrading shit. That's what Orange One has made of this country. As I've noted before, Dems and Reps always have had differences. Trump is a different sort of beast entirely. Unhinged, amoral, un-human. He brings slime …
Prepare for rate cuts?
.....Everyone and his uncle expects a 0.25% cut by the FED next week. The banks and businesses will rejoice, probably way too much. Already today, Thursday, Mr. Market was partying "like it's 1999."
LOUD start.
...Allegedl…
I would add that I grew up when you could walk into a Walmart, show out-of-state ID that proved your age, and walk out with a rifle or handgun. No one would even remember your name. I used to walk to school with a rifle, store it at school, then go …
Thanks for the response. I do have a 2nd passport and an escape-hatch. I'd rather not have to use it. I think of all the Jewish folks under Hitler who waited too long to get out. Or the many who had no alternative. The Orange Regime is engaged in th…
Why don't they do some shock and awe of their own? Move into Kaliningrad and the rest of that exclave. .... Does he want a 2nd war, really? Fuck Vlad, AND his horse.
By definition the Supreme Court IS the deep state. Unaccountable to the electorate.
Disagree. SCOTUS has a history of adhering to non-partisan LAW. Upholding the Constitution. No more. Orange Putz and his tong have hijacked it and infiltrated it, p…
The ICE raid was unjustified and extreme, even if the workers' visas were improper. GET THEM FIXED! Maybe I should be more angry than I am about scofflaws, whether it's the employer's or employee's fault, because my wife and I worked (and SPENT!) to…

"...We believe the structure of the fixed income market has permanently changed and that it now has four discrete tiers instead of two. High yield bonds were previously the lowest quality option, behind investment grade bonds. Post-GFC, they have be…
I took it from social media platform, Bluesky. There was nothing else. Obviously trolling the Orange Monster who loves the smell of deportations in the morning.
And the Michigan fake "electors" have been let off the hook. The country is circling the drain into ethical and moral vapidity. Mafia-don Putin is partying. Orange Pus is SO owned by the Russian doink.

For Gavidia, that ID card can’t even protect him any longer — the agents never gave it back to him.
Slime-hole criminal suck-pigs, like their very Orange boss.
Received dividend on Wednesday, put in a limit-order to reinvest it. It's the Foreign Trade Bank of Latin America, based in Panama. BLX. One of my most fortunate choices. I'm not sure if a US rate cut would affect it? Anyone have an idea? My other b…
Ticket prices going up again? Yes, & my sports package,streaming, is going up also. The money top players are receiving is just NUTS!!!!!
Truth. I can't even contemplate attending a LIVE game in person any longer. They all have become NOISE even…
Just ordered 'scripts via my usual source out of Winnipeg. No sure guaranty about when the stuff might show up; and instead of ordering from my usual pharmacy (they use drugstores worldwide) in Mauritius, I have to buy from Canada, and that raises t…
in all fairness, i basically consider Vanguard a place to buy Vanguard products (same with TRP). for someone to use it as a their place to buy stocks and other products seems out of place. (obviously if thats where you started and branched from th…
And what low risk are we talking about? Interest rate risk? Sorta a function of duration. Or default risk? Sorta a function of quality of the bonds and the broader business climate. If one defined low risk as short duration and high quality that w…
The country voted-in TWICE a decrepit, amoral, criminal felon, un-dead Orange bag of reprehensible slime. "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." Is this country still worth saving?

A report from Chicago Metro area.
There have been reports of National Guards & ICE assembling in an old naval base in the northern suburb of Glenview. See Chicago metro map:

Why should Social Security be different than every other institution in our country? He has either broken it, is in the process of breaking it or is planning on how to break it. The destruction is just getting started. And it’s only a matter of tim…
It took Yahoo a while to fix the data issue in my portfolio but everything seems to be restored and correct.
Glad to hear. Promptness is as much a priority with Yahoo as it is Morningstar.
What trump is about is enriching trump and exercising power for his feeble sense of self. And to think there might be a grand design is the ultimate act of self delusion.
The kompromat that Putin has on the Orange Fake goes a long way toward expla…
Granted, capitalism is a ravenous beast that needs to be regulated. Yet the bad guys will always find loopholes. The political climate is always impacting upon the world of investing. EVERYTHING is political, by the way. I can recall learning a lot …
>> Who raises a legal issue when the bad guys are taken out?
There we have it: the authentic hardcore voice of fascism. Sickeningly bald for this forum and for this guy, actually.
David was quoting FD1000. And his characterization is perfect…
Dems and Reps are both screwed up, but it's certainly not so that they are equally screwed up. Repugnants sold their souls decades ago and are no longer a legitimate Party. They are acting in bad faith on The Hill and in the WH. Play-acting at gov't…
