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.
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 …
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.
