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.
@rforno. I gather the mechanism that trade warrior is using to bail out victims of his mistake is the Commodity Credit Corporation. This was,of course, signed into law by FDR. Thanks New Deal,,,thanks Democrats. But seriously farmers, did you real…
@Catch22.actually catch my original post tried to discuss sequence of return risk and other factors impacting near retirees.not the least of which is the president who thinks " tariffs are the greatest." Are you the new moderator?
Yuuup! The genius is going to add $12 billion to his already growing federal deficit to ease the pain caused by his self induced trade war. I thought you repuglicans support free trade and are strongly against deficits. Wait,, there is more. I thou…
@DavidRMoran. We really gotta quit meeting like this.Our ability to communicate surely is lacking. This will be my last and I will give you the final word.i just want to know if you deny that racism and xenophobia are the glue that unites the magas?…
@Davidrmoran. I appreciate the concept of "the long continuum" more than you know. As such the arc of the story of racism and xenophobia is a very long one.
America's war on people of color and those new
here is very old. The current president us…
I don't have a sense of the history of this place and I will ignore the politics of the linkster. I just know what I see. The links stink. Most are virtually ignored. Few stimulate a discussion which is the reason this board exists. The multitude of…
Crash,,, I agree,,, I access via phone and since last site remodel pages load slowly and not completely. I enjoy the great Chistine Benz but mostly go for the data. It just plain doesn't work well .
David,,,, I lived in the sixties. Got clean for Gene,,, worked in a federal anti poverty program,, marched many times against the war. I know what motivated the other side back then,,,,I know what motivates magas today. IT IS NOT BALANCED BUDGET, ST…
During the war(Vietnam) that was true. Watch easy rider. Todays culture wars are about race, xenophobia and homophobia. When was the last time you heard a maga talk about long hair?.hell,,,, plenty of magas in their pick ups with Confederate flags f…
@ davidrmoran. Read that link. Wanna puke. Those folks are racists first,,,,, second and third. If orange monster loved all the people he hates, those crackers would not support him for thirty seconds. Woodstock has nothing to do with why those "ci…
@Crash."it leaves me breathless and horrified that so many voters chose the trumpster." Me too. But how do you feel about about them now after everything that has happened and the still support him? That is even scarier. And the fact that the repug…
You are right,,, it's all about funds. You ever check out contributor Retired Limoman? Most distinctive writing style ever. He owns the balanced funds forum.
I just checked on my Android phone. Worked fine. MFO vs Boglehead vs M* vs Seeking Alpha would be an interesting discussion. As for myself,,,, I am looking for actionable intel and people smarter than myself. Wading through dozens of links with litt…
I was not sure if this was a closed thread since not one comment had appeared until now. But since I see it is open I would like to concur with John N. and thank David for providing this forum. I am sure it takes plenty of time and energy to sustai…
Even if the cost is acceptable San Francisco is not the jewel it used to be.we visit the city by boat and walk for miles,,, all over the place..we visit less often these days.many problems.
It really amazes me that folks like JoJo read about the what the repuglicans have wrought and can't defend it. But they call the messenger a "liberal." You guys are amazing.
Thank you JoJo26. You do know of course that liberals want to save capitalism from itself. Left to their own devices,,,,,, capitalists, with their overwhelming greed, would destroy themselves.. But this thread is not about us liberals,,,,, it's abo…
@LewisBraham. Agree with you. This guy just unleashed them. But what is really scary is what happens when a smart guy plays that cohort effectively. Nonetheless,,, liberals, however ineffectual, are not bent on destruction of our institutions. They …
@Catch22......I sorry.i thought that phrase was common usage among those in the opposition. My kids say it all the time. It's such a natural response to a article about some poor guy who is a victim of orange monster.
@Catch. Surely you have seen the orange monster blame President Obama for everything,,,,, it's so common that the phrase has become part of our regular sarcastic vocabulary. Example,,, traffic is horrible on I-80. two hour delay. "Thanks Obama." C…
@Davidmoran. As long as the Republican cohort HATE AND FEAR PEOPLE OF COLOR more than they care about their own interests our nation's troubles will just get worse. I know a trump voter,,, he told me he voted for him " because he was sick of white p…
@JohnN,@Crash. Gentlemen,,,, with all due respect, lumping the far left and far right in the same breath with regards to losing our democracy is a total crock. THERE IS NO EQUIVALENCY! If you believe that,,,, well I guess you have your eyes wide shu…
I think teddy owes us an apology. Right now there are two excellent threads going that show that our current and future investments are threatened by the orange man and his self inflicted errors. Or is he just doing what his handler Vlad tells him t…
Interesting in that for my kids who are at the beginning of excellent careers massive disruptions to the markets would spell opportunity. For their old man,,, sequence of risk danger.
Thanks for sharing gentlemen. My CD sleeve has grown perhaps too large though I count it as F.I. The self induced trade war and other self induced shocks have turned this conservative investor even more risk adverse. The biggest risk to my investmen…
Teddy,,,what does this have to do with mutual funds?or: if you can flame a contributor,,,, why can't the many discuss someone who impacts the value of our mutual funds? Ban me Teddy boy!
