I thought trump fixed NAFTA for the UAW with USMCA.
"The USMCA achieved stronger enforcement mechanisms for labor provisions than the original deal, leading the AFL-CIO, the largest collection of U.S. labor unions, to support the pact—a rare endors…
@Old_Joe - you know these trolls never answer a direct question. They just come here to throw up a bunch of random crap they heard on Fox or Breitbart or whatever to see if anything sticks. They are void of original thought or even common sense. The…
"NOAA's work significantly impacts investing through weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and fisheries management, all of which influence industries like agriculture, transportation, insurance, and coastal development. Understanding NOAA's data…
A bit of perspective on valuations also from the WSJ - By Spencer Jakab, Markets A.M. newsletter.
"Wouldn’t it be great if there were some way to quantify exuberance? At market extremes there can be. Speaking in 2002, Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McN…
How can you invest intelligently when this is what you are dealing with. (From Josh Moon on Reddit.)
"Attention: We will be having tariffs. Not this week though. We are having tariffs next week. But not on trucks. And also you'll need to answer fiv…
Added to CGDV one of the few bright lights in my portfolio YTD along with QLENX which I may be adding to near the close depending on how the rest of the day goes.
The real issue here seems to be that the stupid people are so sure of themselves while the smart ones are so full of doubt. But hey, he's owning the libs right? And he probably has a box of sharpies somewhere.
"Understand the risk you’re adding to your portfolio." +1 @hank
I don't mean to imply that this is what you meant with that comment but other than the MM positions in my account I generally think of my whole portfolio as being 'at risk'. Yes, all …
In a sense that tactic of buying when others are fearful has worked for me as well. Dumpster fires and bathwater floods are great places to look for hidden gems rather than racing up the roads to the current sparkles in the eyes of the masses.

"... Trump declared last night that “we are going to have growth in the auto industry like nobody has ever seen.”
Will that come before or after the greatest healthcare program ever seen? Or proof of a stolen election?
I'm also 99% sure that 'Dr. Sean O’Leary, chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Infectious Diseases' will be out of a job ASAP once what he stated is reported to the firing goon in charge.
This country does want illegal immigrants - if they can pay them at 50% off, deny them any and all benefits and if they'll do the work no natural born citizen will do. Hell, they're crying for them as we speak. They also like rich ones apparently bu…
Such a sad ending to such a wonderful life. I expected better but don't ask me why. His portrayal's of characters in the many movies he acted in never made me wonder if he was the real deal. He seemed to live a wildly varied and distinguished life f…
A-rod is also set to takeover ownership of the MN Timberwolves NBA franchise. After a great baseball career I wonder why he would choose a basketball team to own but maybe that's where the greater reward lies.
"But, you know, for example, the federal judiciary is paid through the Bureau of the Fiscal Service. Hypothetically, they could just shut down the federal judiciary from getting paid. And then what happens from there?"
Well that might be one way to…
Sen. Chris Murphy, (D-Conn):
Trump’s Billionaire Tax Cut is a Scam to Take Money From Regular People

@Derf - Didn't skeet use something like over 60 funds though? I get it that it's what he might have been comfortable with or that it worked for him but it would have my head on a swivel 24/7. Besides, I also have a garden and hiking/canoeing trail t…
@larryB - That is correct but the National Guard has been utilized a lot more in recent years and I don't see that diminishing. Current Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, and former governor of SD liked to send her's all over the southern …
