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.
...Of course, a civilized society is going to need to employ a TRULY progressive tax scheme. (Though we never seem to be able to DO that.) We will never have perfection, never have total equality. And needless to say, there will always be a number o…

Yes, I was still there, under Baker. A reasonable, intelligent man. He is no Trumpster-ite, for sure. Greed is always and forever a bad thing, even if it's perfectly legal.
From Prez to the local Neighborhood Board, gov't is virtually ALL Dem where I live. The Dems have the Electoral College locked up here. CLOSED Primaries, too. Sucks. My dissenting vote will count for as much as a fart in the wind. I agree with Lewis…
I've come across an item asserting that only Michelle Obama, among Dems, can beat the Orange Suck-hole Criminal. Harris won't get my vote. Michelle has a good shot, though. Let's just see if we do get a brokered convention. Surprise! These "events" …
"Where there is no vision, the people perish." Proverbs 29:18.
The country is rudderless, and too many seem quite agreeable to putting a grown CHILD who is an ignorant, orange, criminal douche-nozzle in the Oval Office AGAIN. Blind leading the blin…
It seems to me that the majority of people who want the job are not fit for the job in one way or the other. Perhaps the problem has become one of individual purpose. The type of people who are rising to the top, by-in-large, seem to be looking for …
Sorry, @gman57. No faith. Just none. If American voters actually cared about quality, reasonable options, our choices in the Fall would not be:
Orange Fart
Uncle Joe
Cornel West
Jill Stein.
Lots to like from where I sit in the latter two's platform…
Thanks for the read. Makes me want to continue to plow into MMF. Hardly any risk, and a lovely yield. (5%+.)
Still holding my junk.
FALN yield = 7.14% but unsure when that figure was last updated. It's been sitting there for a long time. Mornings…
I still recall, from "A Man For All Seasons:" Actor Paul Schofield was marvelous.
"...Why Richard, it profit a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world. . . but for Wales?!"
A powerful point. Richard had been made Prince of Wales. Richard…
Truly a great one, yes. Brilliant script.
Mitch the Grinch gets a helluva lotta credit for stymying the wheels of the Rule of Law. He's another who needs to go. He will not be missed from here.
I do not bet that Harris, even with Obama as Veep, could beat the Orange Criminal Scum. I just don't sense that she could win. Not enough votes. Justified or not, she appears to be aligned with The Squad and the whole "woke" thing. If that movement …
+1.
And by the way, today is Canada Day. It's not perfect up there, either, but it's nothing like the shit-show we are living through here, south of the border. I lived up there for about a year, many moons ago.
boom. just what I've been saying. In HK, it's Beijing that calls the shots. The "Leader" in HK is hand-picked by the Communist Mainland regime. Rights are curtailed or canceled. It's disgraceful. In the USA, The Trumpster is guilty as sin, and the w…
Added to cash stash, still getting me over 5% in SNVXX MM account. Gov't paper, so the name of the fund SAYS. Stocks are still too volatile, undependable right now; my bonds are at my desired level already.
...Anyhow, the news is all "spin" anymore. And the "spin" is so utterly predictable. And when did "pregnant women" become "pregnant persons?" Politically correct nonsensical agenda working its way into our vocab. It's a concerted effort. And most of…
I am surprised at some of this proud reduced-information posturing. I have learned just an enormously helpful amount of American law and civics the last few years from watching, beyond PBS, MSNBC and CNN. I do miss Al-Jazeera, but perhaps if I poked…

Go to the very end about the (non-) extension of the 2nd Ave. subway. It's the same EVERYWHERE in this country. Each instance has its own details an…
I watch Sky TV or the BBC on my Samsung smart TV. I'd rather listen to news of Tory blunders than news about Joe and the Melon Felon! Hopefully, voting on July 4 will result in a large Labour majority !
+1.
Although I'd rather see someone other …
DT= Dangerous Threat.
No watching Presidential debate here. Trump's best talent is to be a professional liar. And that Frederick Douglass is doing a great job, isn't he????? F.D. is a personal hero of mine. But the Orange Abomination? Not worth my …
Just more grist for the mill. The screw-ups abound, not just at SWA. Can't even get a straight answer to a straight question, anymore. From top to bottom, and all around, in a 360-degree circle, we are surrounded by bullshit; by idiots; by Political…
We are already on the way to Third World Banana Republic status--- and for the complete opposite reason expressed recently by Donald Doinkhead, Jr.
I despair. Too many voters don't even know how to think. Candidates seem to think their job is to v…
The "Supreme" court has just greased the skids to third-world status for the United States. Trump and his minions will just love this. Clearing the swamp, was it?
You expressed the state of affairs in perfect, crystalline fashion, OJ. My disgust can…
