So how much ,% wise, did your portfolio rise today ? I haven't checked mine , but headed that way. Interested in what Mr. Market does Friday.
...Indeed. Snap-back? People (or COMPUTERS?!!!) taking short-term profits? And how much of Thursday's actio…
I'm always late to the party. I put in a limit order to buy a significant amount of CNQ, Canadian Natural Resources Limited, on Wednesday. It didn't take. Up 5% today. I bit the bullet and bought just a few shares towards the end of the day to satis…
I often find that my single-stock selections ying when the market in general yangs. Lately, that's often been a backdoor blessing. Biggest ever, so far? One just peeked its chin above 5% of my total portfolio. I hold 5 single stocks. A couple of the…
How can a political candidate possibly get elected by presenting reasonable arguments if a large percentage of the population appears to be immune to reason? It’s no wonder qualified people disdain seeking office.
BOOM. You said it!
Great interview on BINC.

He knows what he's talking about. I like to listen to him. So much crammed into 12 minutes, eh?
@Crash: not related to your problem in Norway, but we found traveling there to be exorbitantly expensive. Our car rental agreement, despite an already high rate, carried a 25% surcharge added to the whole f'n bill.
Holy Jaypers Glop!
31 October, 2023: at last, I received a prompt and coherent response via email. What she provided was a direct link, in order to file for a repayment of the over-withholding that the lovely and fabulous Norwegian government no doubt required Norsk H…
Too late? I took it at 63 and do not regret it. Made my life easier and better, combined with a few other decisions.
How were you able to take Medicare at 63, I am given to understand you get to take at age 65?
I seem to have lost track of this t…
it doesn't end there.
MAGA, yes. But also a Christian nationalist and fundamentalist. Likes to pit science AGAINST the bible. It's apples and oranges, but what does HE care? The country is in the shitter. A bunch of the ultra-liberal agenda I refuse…
And the new Speaker ORIGINATED an amicus brief in connection with a Texas suit which would have overturned the election in that State.
Who's in charge? Not the adults.
@Old_Joe The biggest issue facing America in 2023 may be that almost half the country supports the “crime lord” who lost the election in 2020. That is THE ISSUE of our time.
I tend to agree. No soul. No ethics. Empty shell. And they flock to him…
Par for the course:
Crash Davis to Nuke LaLoosh:
These are your cliches. They're your friends. You need to know them, you need to use them:
I'm just glad to be here and I hope I can help the ballclub.
That's so boring.
Of course it's bori…
"Then i fumbled in the closet, through my clothes, and found my cleanest dirty shirt..."
---K.K.
That's what the US has become: the cleanest dirty shirt. MAYBE. But the economy is not so very tied to politics, anymore than politics is tied to Ethi…
Yeah, not to mention the incompetent buffoon crime lord we have sleeping in the White House, with all his grossly inept, corrupt appointees running the country into the ground.
The incompetent buffoon crime lord lost the election in 2020 and is no …
Adding to TS in baby-sized bites. M* says the SP500 is 4.18% in energy.
I'm at 17.63%.
PRNEX. 10%
ET. 4.41%. pipelines, midstream. Finalizing acquisition of Crestwood right now.
TS 0.48% manufactures drilling pipes.
Thanks for getting the ball rolling, OJ.
As ever, I read stuff like this while asking myself how well I fit into any of those models of the average retail investor.
My mutual fund managers are inevitably going to pick some stocks I would not person…
