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.
Do not think for one minute that he THINKS about ANYTHING. Everything is kneejerk and impulse, heightened by dementia, maybe alzheimer's. His handlers would minimize his public-time, if they were smart. But they're NOT. They're ass-kissers. Meanwhil…
I'm glad for this thread.
A camel is a horse put together by a committee. But sometimes these people manage to say something profound:
On July 1, 2025, Rev. Jihyun Oh, Stated Clerk of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA), condemne…
This is indeed good news. I'm just waiting for that shoe to drop. What kind of crapola shenanigans will uncle Trumpy and dear little Mikey and sweet Pamela get into before we get to see what's actually there?
OJ, that's the major problem since Nancy Pelosi stepped down. Schumer is not a leader - he is not widely respected. Schumer cannot punch back.
The Dems don't have somebody with the balls that Nancy had. They better find that person. No AOCs,…
Those two deserve each other. Despicable vomitus. Maybe in hell they'll be doing unmentionables to each other.

I dunno... is "moronity" a word?
This actually could become a SERIOUS topic for a PhD candidate's dissertation. It's politically incorrect these days to talk about I.Q.... Instead, the focus is on Achievement. (Not how much one CAN learn, but how mu…
The GOP sees what it wants to see.
From "The Boxer." Simon & Garfunkel.
All lies and jest
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest.
am sure this crypto scam has well-normalized into the background of larger scale grift, none of which gop voters can distinguish from trump's indisputable business genius.
The GOP sees what it wants to see.
If the Dems weren't so damn clueless, …
@Crash- maybe follow up phone with an email covering the main points of your conversation? He could save those for future reference.
YES! EVENTUALLY, he'll get to them. Might be 3 weeks old, stale. Not much of an "Executive" brain function to work w…
Ya, I'm babysitting $$$ for three others, now. The amount doesn't add up to much. But they didn't even have a clue about how to get in. I often "discuss" via email with one. He has the most at stake, still under $100k. But he is quick to confess tha…
Gundlach: I owned his vanilla core-plus bond fund years ago. Left with a tiny profit. I think he sounds convincing in that podcast. Having said that, always remember: there are too many variables to juggle. The best thing I've heard lately is to inv…
Yes, she and J. Isbell are a pair. He got clean for her. That's a great one! Those two other guys always play with Brandi Carlile. Of course, years ago she spelled it with a "Y." But no one took her seriously. (LOL. Stolen from "Cheers.")
And this particular consumer's sentiment is not even connected to the standard reportable statistics. Rather I'm feeling awful on account of the fact that the Orange Fuhrer is completely clueless about anything and everything. A rudderless "leader."…
Yes, I saw that news item. Such a spoiled, self indulgent, moronic, narcissistic, self-absorbed orange CHILD. A child with the nuclear codes. Jayzuz slime stinky poopies.
Indeed. And it is encouraging to see it. The history of the church is, to say the very least, checkered. Humans create (quite imperfect and flawed) human institutions. Even so, when there are scandals, it is a failure, and real people are hurt. I co…
It's a Christian tenet that if one is baptized, it makes them Christian, having undergone the Initiation. That's why it feels so awful for me to be lumped -in together with the MAGA-evangelical types in the eyes of a great many people. The "Christia…
It is hard to know what to make of this. People typically being so inept at living within their means. Plus, age has a lot to do with it. Making $200K, with a paid off house and paid for autos, kids done with college, is far different from just star…
Much of the time, he exhibits a need to learn a few more lessons in communication skills. Even apart from the dreadful Epstein connection, his manner could often be off-putting. Did he not hold a position under Obama? Seems to me that over the cours…
My biggest losers are concentrated in the energy sector FWIW. 5 out of the worst 8.
Over what period of time? My midstream holding today fell by -0.41%. Pay date for the quarterly dividend is in 2 more days. Let it fall, then I'll re-invest at a mo…

Thanks for the news. But China? No. Politically evil. Toxic. And that Fund House has too steep a climb ahead of it, in my estima…
Ya, well. TROW has it coming. Service to clients fell into the toilet long ago.
I’d question how much fund houses / brokerages trade on service. Indirectly, yes. But my reading suggests it’s mostly about AUM and the direction of fund flows - in or …
This is really just nothing until the "all at once" phase begins.
Good one.
Another line from 1929 - and originally from a Hemingway character I believe.
You're right. From The Sun Also Rises.
I watched a Lyn Alden YouTube presentation on why money and banks are broken. A rather predictable examination, and I could not argue with any of it. But his/her solution was to recommend crypto. Decentralized. Disconnected from the ways in which go…
Part B: Congressman Neal has it right. Actual flesh and blood people do not matter to the Orange regime.
