Stuff is just hidden. And when I typed in "BRUFX" it did not recognize it...I called. SHE was able to see it right away--- using Think Or Swim.... Where's THAT? I see nothing about Think or Swim on this webpage. ...Oh, it's conveniently HIDDEN under…
Today’s market is expensive and too concentrated.
TRUTH! With few exceptions!
P/E ought not be the only indicator we look at, but I do tend to anchor my own decisions by that metric. But watch out for the "value traps," eh?

I recall the San Bruno explosion and fire in the news. Very near the SF airport, yes? And a person killed in SF when a natgas build-up resulted in an explosion which sent a manhole cover into the air. Damaged a car, killed that individual. PG&E …
As for ongoing maintenance, the Yoots won't do anything they're not forced to do. Simple, transparent negligence. When I was still in New England several years ago, there was a WEEK-LONG outage after an early snowstorm in October. "Snowtober." 2011.…
Companies such as Amazon.com Inc., Meta Platforms Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google are Nvidia’s largest customers, accounting for nearly 40 per cent of its revenue , as they rush to invest in hardware for AI computing.

@Crash - I could buy a couple of shares if you really want to bet on an instant crash. Let me know.
Thanks, OJ. The Ol' Reliable! Grin. ;)
Looking to add to my fixed income allocation, JEPI was sold and replaced with WCPNX which should perform well over the next few years.
The very thing! The very one I've been investigating! Have I done something RIGHT, maybe, for a change? ;)
Lunch time back East, and TS continues to rise. Nice. No white knuckles here, just a smile. I'll get me some "joe" and catch up with the news. But what MATTERS is the share price at the END of the day. Looks like a very good week, overall. Pretty su…
Same here, OJ. Even several years ago, one of the sons volunteered to tell an interviewer: "we get a great deal of money from Russia." I suppose that's been stopped, with all the sanctions after the invasion of Ukraine. They're not picky. They'll d…
I figured I'd follow-up at the end of today, after a jump upward of +7.7% in TS shares. There is a still rather brand new-ish Morningstar analysis of the company, dated just more than a week ago. Yes, M* is less and less useful, but some might find …

Ain't AI great?
Yes, it sure sounds "canned." Like talking on the phone with Customer Service. Words which convey no information. I once was on a call. Fin…

From what I can tell Park is perma bear, perhaps influenced by the dire predictions of the Canadian Housing Market. I only listen to a few things, as I don’t like to spend time on podcasts or Youtube when I can skim written text quicker.

@sma3 you may want to clear your cache, or perhaps use a browser that has incognito mode.
Yes, lately, with my browser (I guess) something's been done. Maybe install CCleaner, clear your cache. Surprisingly, I have access. But it's not rare to enco…
I do wonder privately often, whether I'm shooting myself in the foot with my own system, plan, approach. My funds own the Mag7. Can't do much about that. I've seen SMCI run-up, too, LATELY. @MikeM. I deliberately avoid crowded trades. I like to wan…
Danielle Park out of Toronto is smart and savvy, herself. She's been doing it for decades by now. Saw her interviewed on Canadian TV and followed that very blog for a long time. Same name for the blog as the book she wrote: "Juggling Dynamite."

Makes me want to vomit. Which is why, even in retirement, I joined the I.W.W. "The Wobblies."

But not everybody enters the workforce with "all things being equal." Not everyone gets the breaks. Not everyone is born with enough smarts to compete. I've seen a vid explaining that the military did some statistical investigations, post WW I. The …
@Mark- Congratulations to both of you... you paid your dues (an aspect that I didn't mention earlier) and you earned your rewards.
Ditto. Congrats!
And you kept the Cong from navally invading!

Thank you very much, Lyn. I read it with interest. Of particular note:

Ergo, I withdraw only about 3% of the portfolio per year. That much can be e…
Awful today, not disastrous. IS the dreaded Recession going to come, after all? I just wanna punch somebody in the head right now. What's it gonna TAKE? Ork?
A few stocks I have to go along with WABAC 's list. All YTD. MKS +21,VST+18,URI, PH, and EW all up 13+. Thats TECH, Utilities, Industrials and Health Care. Not all about the MAG 7.
