"When one side takes actions to cut off an entire nation, the ordinary people of that nation are the ones who suffer the most, not the “oligarchs,” tyrants and despots." - Do you mean like when Russia cuts off Ukraine for no reason?
"Now in Canada,…

From Matt Murray, WSJ: "The fire, in the training facility adjacent to the six reactors, was extinguished Friday morning with none of the reactors affected and no radiation leak. Russian troops have moved into the plant."
I do remember that energy scenario. Today there are some who opine that one of Putin's primary drivers for his invasion of Ukraine was done with consideration of strengthening Russia’s grip on European energy supplies and the attendant flow of cash …
When is the last time something even remotely intelligent came out of that clowns mouth? This action is just heartbreaking on any and all levels. And for what?!
Prices are still above what I just paid a few days ago @hank. I can wait.
Edit to add: Aw shucks, I knew (or at least felt like) I should have added to my TGT position but it's already a large % of my portfolio. Honestly I can never (rarely) get th…
"Next week they can worry about the mid-March's rate hike and its consequence on the market."
Am I the only one who thinks that has already been priced in? Maybe that will fluctuate based on the magnitude of the raise should there be any.
I only have one reservation about placing too much in a single fund (no matter how good it's past performance) with a star manager outstanding as he is. What happens should the unforeseen happen? Stuff happens right? I think one just needs to judge …
I'm not going to lie I did some buying on Wednesday's meltdown. I didn't buy much but I added to funds that seemed to be caught in the selling crosshairs for no reason other than folks were selling everything. I added to SCHD, CDC and DIVO not at th…
"Echoing the sentiment, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said in a tweet Monday that Russia’s recognition of Donetsk and Luhansk “proves a total contempt for international law & UN charters.”"
Yes, but what are you going to do…
A NPR report:
Why Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons — and what that means in an invasion by Russia
"Three decades ago, the newly independent country of Ukraine was briefly the third-largest nuclear power in the world.
Thousands of nuclear arms …
@hank who said - "Watching FTN on CBS Sunday morning. Sad that the host / moderator doesn’t understand what NATO is and doesn’t realize that the Ukraine isn’t part of it. That made her questions to the governmental figure representing Belgium ridicu…
@hank - do you know what happened to DraftKings. That was quite an owiee they took Friday.
In answer to your comment, yes I too have been doing small adds here and there but mostly sitting on my hands. I should just turn my computer(s) off.
@hank who asked "My question (posted yesterday) was simply whether more should be done in these types of shows to inform investors the speaker is presenting “best case” outcomes and that there are also substantial risks associated with those investm…
@BF - purely a guess as I have no idea either. I think her funds and the reasons she's given for creating them (i.e. innovators & disrupters) would appeal to a younger audience. I also believe that she appeals to the 'momentum' crowd of investo…
Yes let's bail out the rich, especially the richest of them. And let's give more handouts and bail outs and tax breaks to businesses, and the oil companies and Wall Street financial firms and the airlines and corporate agriculture and on and so fort…
Well I'm half a country away from Los Angeles so we'll see. I used todays updraft to unload portions in a couple of positions. After reading an ARTICLE posted today by Jim Sloan at SA I'm taking a peak at Japan ETF's. I'm not sure that I will scratc…
Geez that fund hasn't made the rounds since forever. Anyway I see nothing compelling in a garden variety LC Value fund that (according to M*) trails its category by 14% and the index by 26%. It holds nothing special and is heavily weighted toward t…
