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.
Sacramento California … turnout was awesome and beyond expectations. We took light rail from 30 minutes from the state house and it was standing room only. It was mostly the Woodstock/ viet nam generation. The many signs represented a very wide ra…
At Catch… what could possibly go wrong at a demonstration? Let me count the ways. Right wing counter protesters…… out of control cops,,,,, cops provoked by rogue demonstrators. Seen it all …. Still would not miss this Saturday. At crash. Regist…
Can he sit tight? Can he survive? Can the fed survive? The regime can replace Powell with Eric. Clearly dear leader now believes his powers are limitless. Anyone disagree? Prepare for heavy weather and put in a second reef.
Anna and Stillers. Thanks for making me smile. Think the anti politics nazis could find a connection between politics and their portfolios this morning? Probably not.
A lack of civility is never Ok. But if I can’t say that the regime is having an adverse impact on my SCHD and SWTSX ? Is that the position of the no political absolutists here? In normal times perhaps but these ARE NOT NORMAL TIMES.
@JD. Me too. I am looking forward to Liberation Day with greater anticipation than I would the Super Bowl. I will be up extra early …. Who will take the over on 20% ?
Well stated Mark. The old maga double standard. I just spoke to a friend who is hesitant to participate in the April 5th national demonstration against the regime because he is afraid of violence from the militia groups which are active in his mid…
At Stillers. Thanks for the Dylan reference. I know some younger folks who have a big Lebowski reference for everything but for my money I will take Dylan. “. To each his own, it’s all unknown.”
At Stillers. Portfolio on safety but social security is not. The question is I ponder is when social security is disappeared do I become more or less aggressive to replace what covered 110% of our regular expenses? I am not investing for the next g…
MSF. The 51st state will be massively BLUE! Why would he who can’t be named want to add the bluest state unless elections were a thing of the past? Unless he hasn’t thought it out.
Stillers. That’s a great title for my future self’s dissertation. If History Departments still exist. Thanks for that. Until recently I wondered if I would outlive my money but now I wonder if I will outlive democracy? Warts and all,it wasn’t so …
I think that the real liberation day will be when the two presidents are in handcuffed and on their way to prison. Until then my investment plan is not to lose money. Lots of safe 4% yield spots to stash our chips we can watch what’s going on in h…
As we used to say in the sixties,,,, right on Crash! Power to the people. This is off topic but this morning I was out and about with DW and daughter at a mall and encountered a group getting ready to demonstrate in front of the Elon business in th…
@mark. I think you nailed the biggest part of the craziness. Half the voters don’t think the US is in a crisis,,, they might even see it in opposite terms. It drives me crazy when the talking heads nit pick the dems when nothing can apparently c…
Old_Joe. Andy brought up death squads. Please let us know of a Democrat death squad. I am so sick of folks trying to create an equivalence between the two parties. Until maga perhaps but not anymore. If this ends up in a civil war you can’t be…
@Junkster. Finding any equivalence in those pairs of representatives is beyond ludicrous… the maga twins are in a class of their own. Drawing that comparison destroys your credibility.
@Junkster. Thanks for sharing your red state insights. It seems that many MAGA voters will be hurt badly by the regime’s cruelty and incompetence. Yet they have the most blind loyalty imaginable. Is the spell unbreakable? As for your political d…
Soon all the group that was described by the recently departed H_ _ _O will be reported to feds and our messaging will be monitored. Then we will be disappeared. Two months ago that would seem ridiculously paranoid but not so much today.
They will try to discredit Goldberg first,,, already started. Then they will give The Atlantic the Paul Weiss treatment. The regime playbook is pretty predictable.
@Old_Joe. Don’t count on that… you got the right. Firing the JAGs goes a long way to insuring the military will not do the right thing… When the resistance grows and the regime feels threatened the army will be called out to do horrible things. A…
If Judges rule against the regime and the regime ignores said ruling did the ruling really happen? And after a hundred rulings are similarly ignored and the lawyers who brought them are literally no longer able to practice does that mean it’s all do…
@Dt. I am with you 100%. I am way more interested in return of my capital than return on capital. I watch the market with a sense of detachment I haven’t had since the sixties,,, when I cheered for the markets to crash. I too worry about the FD…
crash. 7 other posters did not connect Israel to Schumer and the funding issue. Only you did. You sure do have Israel on the brain. As crash would say,,,ORK.
