Delicious. Mention of Taj Mahal reminds me that he had spent a great deal of time in my hometown, years ago: Springfield, MA. A great place to be FROM, these days. Crime Toilet, currently.

RMDs, I'm sure you intended. Those are gonna hurt, but the $$$ can be reinvested in taxable. 2 more years to age 73. Born in '54. No escaping it. Death, taxes, winter. Well, not much winter here. Sometimes, however....
Yes, of whatever Party, the uber-wealthy look out for their vested interests. But even someone like myself who is as far from wealthy as can be, owns UNITS (not shares) in a MLP. The dividends are not taxable. Why? They are treated as Return of Capi…
Just 8 more bricks in the Wall. Can't take a breath without hearing about another instance. Can't swing a dead cat without running into yet another pile of corrupt slime gushing from out of this Orange felonious regime. It's not any sort of administ…
Glad to see his name again.
Global Balanced, on my own watchlist: GAL. A fund of funds.

EPSTEIN. There, I said it again. Orange Flatulence. One more word: Giuffre. Enough for now. He and his criminal tong need to go straight to f*****g JAIL.

Can't talk for several days, but I can type.
Scarlet Fu seems to have taken over as full-time host. It pleases me.
So, Data drought due to shutdown. ORK! The data we have is stale, some private (vs. gummint) data is being published. Can…
Limit order in, for a few more shares of EWS. Attempting to keep cost basis under $28.00 for as long as it is plausible to do it.
EDIT TO ADD: The thing went up, not down, today. So I stashed the cash in the Mmkt SWVXX, instead. Growing that one fo…

And Uncle Orange the Insect Scum is busy pardoning them all. Rule of Law, much? Not any more. It will take a generation or two of Repugnant "Party" deaths, plus some additional, key …
@Crash
Best of luck to you my friend! A quick, and hopefully painless, recovery.
Thanks, man. Just finished, this afternoon. It's almost becoming routine, periodically. I'm in good hands, no physical pain.
@Observant1
+1.
I want more. I want the full and total cohort of the Orange Criminal tong to be caged for treason. That's what they are all doing together, collectively, step by step, day by day, each according to their position in the Orange pecki…
Soul-less, unfathomably greedy, immoral sacs full of wet, week-old cockroach farts. Repugnant subversive "Party." Is he dead yet? They simply do not deserve to share the breath of life with actual people.
Is it a military coup if the military remains on post as the regime burns the constitution? Perhaps that’s what is in the works. So the military doesn’t actually seize power, they just let one fellow declare he is the king while they stand down.

Warren Zevon was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame several days ago.
One of his lesser-known tunes titled "Mohammed's Radio" was captured live

MAGA world is an Orange Kool-Aid Cult, unwilling to see Reality, full of invertebrates just as bad or worse than the 8 who recently voted with Repugnants and thereby fucked the American public.

Why do you think so many generals and top military brass are getting shit canned? Can you visualize a MILITARY COUP? Think it can’t happen here?
Never thought it would. But now? ...Ya. And it won't be any spur of the moment thing. It's already in t…
Ya, unless you're already an Orange Criminal Felon Fart-faced Billionaire via crypto, no one needs 30+ funds. You'd be running your own monstrosity of a Fund, rather than a personal portfolio.
@Crash Ty Cobb knows what he’s talking about, but unfortunately, this isn’t getting much coverage. If trump concludes that the Democrats will take the House, there will be no midterm elections.
I'm inclined to believe you. And it will be the end.
@catch22 Thank you, very much worth reading. I'm still reaching for yield in Junk funds, which of course are BELOW BBB rated. I also see, as can anyone else, that the spread between gummint or AAA rated bonds and Junk is thin, currently. Many of the…
