@Andy J, @Crash -I too would be happy with two women. What year is this anyway. As a collective we sure haven't advanced much.
About Mr. Pritzker, haven't heard much about him but it appears as though he's accomplished quite a bit and would make fo…
Regarding that lily white business I'm just wondering, was he always orange or did he just suddenly become that?
Somebody should look into that I think. I, of course, don't give a flying eff but it is weird.
From a Reuters article today on Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK/A )
"GEICO UNDERWRITING PROFIT TRIPLES
Quarterly insurance profit rose 54% to $5.58 billion, benefiting from more investment income and Geico's ability to charge higher premiums even as drive…
Do those betting markets have a line on potential VP picks for Harris? I think highly of Mr. Pete Buttigieg - sharp, smart, articulate, classy - way over the top of anything the GOP has anywhere for anything. However there is a deep pool of potentia…
So the same as JEPI and JEPQ only different. It will be interesting to see what amount of income it actually generates especially with the equal weight mandate. I haven't been able to dig up a whole lot of info on the fund to date, even from the fun…
Yeah he's a gem alright. Makes me think of being back in 3rd grade with these two name-calling geniuses. I thought Yale had higher graduating standards.
@Graust - if we could for a moment let's discuss the border thing for a minute. It's been contentious for a long time and after much give and take the two parties settled on a compromise of sorts to move forward. STOP. Trump stepped in and said no w…
Nope. Kamala is a good choice. She's sharp as a tack, tough when she needs to be, carries strong positions and has bigger boils then her opposition.
The proposition that she just inherited the mantle of being the Democratic front-runner is without …
You're right, you are not the only one. I was thinking 3-mo max but I'll take just about anything drastically shorter than it is now. And get rid of Pac's, super pac's and Citizens United like yesterday.
OK, I didn't spend time reading through this entire thread but I offer this link up (free for everyone) for whatever interest it might still hold.
Home Insurance Rates in America Are Wildly Distorted. Here’s Why.
@Shostakovich - I just plucked these two items quickly off a google search. However I am of the opinion that former CEO Eddie Lampert basically drove it into the ground. I never did understand why Berkowitz was so enamored with him other than he saw…
@bee - that was my understanding as well. The 'maybe' is still the part to be determined or emphasized I suppose. I wonder how much will be left for the shareholders after the law firms take their cut. I'm thinking that after 10 some years of litiga…
@Crash - "AMLP does not issue a K-1 rather it reports on a 1099 for taxes. AMLP also provides qualified dividends, and a portion of distributions are tax-deferred."
You may have had it confused with MPLX which does issue a K-1.
@Derf - you're only off by a little bit. Here's the whole paragraph from @hank original post.
"Charles Schwab chief investment strategist Liz Ann Sonders put some numbers on that sentiment in a report earlier this year. An investor who put $10,000 …
I've owned a stake in CGDV (Capital Group Dividend Value) for 13-mo now. Honestly II bought it for the dividend aspect but there's really not much going on in that regard so far. I have been pleased with the fund's total return and performance to d…
@jptak - Thanks for the offer. I don't need the info to solve any problem. I was merely curious. However, if you do come up with an answer I'd like to hear it.
I also checked on the Number of Mutual Funds and there doesn't appear to be any apprecia…
Wasn't it not that long ago that companies nearly demanded that one perform all correspondence digitally online because they were not going to be providing hard copies by mail any longer?
