For the sailor: avoid rocks. For the investor,,, don’t lose money. Last night my wife asked me if our assets are safe. I couldn’t tell her with total certainty that they are. Six months ago that would not have been the case. What has changed? We a…
At Sven. Like your sailing metaphor. But even is a bad situation like you described,,, sailors have rules to guide them when they can’t see anything. Sailing the coast of Northern California I was taught that when the visibility is zero and you are…
Agree with all your points except the 4% cash return cause the high ER. 1% Is a lot in an era of subdued returns. I keep looking at Wellesley but the long duration scares me.
At FD. if you believe that the current administration is governing in a manner consistent with laws, ethics, adherence to the constitution and what’s best for the American people, then by all means invest as you always have. Many people believe othe…
Hey fellow travelers… please watch Lawrence O Donnell. The Last Word. Monday night edition. Righteous indignation about the regime’s actions. The conclusion that he reached was “ it could happen to you.” Think about that brothers and sisters.
Gman57…. Did you go too far? Well students with some sort of legal status have been disappeared for making statements the regime doesn’t like. Or those statements were used as an excuse … But this is April,,, what might the regime be doing next mo…
Thank you Crash! The two brothers think politics can’t be connected to investment analysis but how could anyone make an investment in a new factory or invest more in stocks or bonds when the regime has no clue what the business environment might be …
@FD. Agree with you in that I want to know what do Monday each week. But with no certainty about government policy from one hour to the next,,, and no indication that the regime has a clue what it wants to do or is even connected to reality ,,, it …
Is it likely that’s it’s not anti science that drives the repugs but pure greed? Every dollar not spent on medical research or climate change research is another dollar that will reduce a billionaire’s tax bill. At the end of the day everything the …
He sure isn’t governing as if he cares about any future elections. He is fucking every group of voters with the exception of the ultra rich. If he is polling 30%and it looks like the repugnant party will lose thirty seats in the midterms you think …
I am watching David’s show right now and he is discussing censorship of his and other books criticizing the regime. The list of authors contains names you are all familiar with. This seems to be for real.
Now that the link between our mutual funds and political actions is obvious to all ,will the political / investment discussion remain banished to the back forty? This is not to mean let’s make disparaging remarks to those we disagree with but to …
JD. Excellent reporting on the 1983 Supreme Court rule. It’s a perfect (shit) storm. And that same National Emergencies Act can and likely will be used against the opposition to the regime.
@PressmUp. Not me. I am perhaps half way through retirement and the regime might last longer than me. A big enough crash might be enticing but it would be for sport. It’s an age thing.
Guys. Mentioning “orange “ and “the current regime “ sounds very close to connecting politics to current market activity. Be careful,,, you know who is lurking……..
Hank ,,, we will have to agree to disagree on the connection between markets and politics. Nowadays the old standard metrics don’t rule the day. The last two market days would not have happened if one politician hadn’t decided to waste a perfectly…
At Hank. With all due respect and I mean that most sincerely,,, the world has changed drastically since Inauguration Day. If you can acknowledge that, you will find the point that you say you are missing. If you disagree with the idea that we live …
