Looks like the Yanks might hang on to win. Bottom 8th, man on 2nd. One out. Extending the season----- so Yanks fans are hoping. Yanks lead, 6-4. There have been a couple of booted plays by the Dodgers in the 8th. ...Now two men on base: after a doub…
Will Dodgers sweep tonight? The baseball world is looking at every pitch of every at-bat Freddie Freeman takes tonight. Going back to his Atlanta days, he's hit HRs now, in 5 straight WS games. Will tonight be #6? Simply incredible.

I heard on the PBS news that a particular car was identified as suspect. Catch the a-hole(s.) Then separate them from their gonads. Slowly.

Dodgers win Game 2 of the 2024 WS. So, they are up by 2 games against the Yankees. And the WS moves to the Right Coast from the Left Coast. Sunday, today, is a travel day. But Ohtani's shoulder is a concern, now. I've not been watching, just grabbin…
Well. I won't argue with the numbers, then. Yes, my two junk funds are TUHYX and PRCPX. The former is two and a half times bigger than the latter. And I also hold Investment Grade WCPNX. I got into my junk just exactly at the wrong time, before the…
Shall I be the contrarian? Seems to me that ultra-low duration only serves to churn the portfolio. BBBMX shows less than a year, effective duration; and for your trouble, you get a 4.74% yield. My considerable holdings in junk offer, on a weighted a…
@Crash Yeah, my feeling exactly... Alas, Chucky charges for these orders while Fido does not. Hopefully, this one trade won't gobble up all the $$ I've saved with Fido so far. :)
By the same token, Chucky will reinvest your dividends for you, if in…

certainly stinky. Something's fishy in Denmark. They always have a plausible, perfectly legal explanation. Uncle Chucky is not perfect, either. But given what you explained, I'd be furious.
However, 45 and his allies have shown repeatedly that if you tell a lie often enough many folks are going to believe that it must be true.
...Enter uncle Joey Goebbels.

Defined Benefit plans used to be much more common. What changed? The level of despicable, filthy, fetid corporate GREED? (I already know the answer.) I'm one of the lucky ones.
If M* can be trusted:
WCPNX. ER = 0.65%
-duration is out to 5.5 years, now. That smells more like intermediate-term.
-risk, looking back 3 years: just 20 out of 100, on their proprietary scale.
-LOW risk, HIGH returns.
-zero in equities.

It’s chilling that a respected military leader like Kelly observed such behavior and deemed it sufficiently troubling to reveal it to the NYT. May move a few votes. I’m waiting for GWB to come out. I believe his support for Harris could swing the e…
What's even more chilling is that over 46% of Americans would vote for him, no matter what he spouts. What does that say about this country?
The very point I've been making.
Too many people are glued to Fox news all day, and they start parroting that junk.
Bingo. Absolutely.

Gummint depending on Elon is like shooting yourself in both feet. He is obviously morally vapid, like the Great Orange Fast Food Slug. And he is demonstrating that he will do anything he can get away with. Is this country just 2 weeks away from dire…

Yes, true. Morningstar is dependable whenever it gets around to being dependable, anymore. Used to be much more reliable, but that goes back about a decade or so.
Economics is not a fail-safe, foolproof science (or Art.) Because people are too unruly. Broad, tried and true assertions make more sense than arbitrarily chosen slices or snippets or isolated sadistics. Economics, Economists, Theology, Doctrine: th…

Somewhere else around here, I've linked a CNN article pointing to a half-dead mailing address which Dr. Orange is using as a catch-all so that people can order "Swiss" Wyoming-domiciled watches and other do-dads attached to his name. If he were only…
