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.
Can anyone claim to be the winner when close to 90 million eligible voters didn't even bother to vote? For the record that's more votes than either candidate received. Link The electoral college system turned off many of them.
As for the vote tally…
DAF = A donor-advised fund for anyone like me who wasn't aware.
I contribute my time, materials and money to Doctors Without Borders, Why Hunger, Habitat For Humanity and the local Animal Humane Society.
"Trump's plan is to build his hotels in Gaza and have the US military do the work for him."
Here I was thinking that he would just hire contractors and laborers and then just not pay them which is his usual SOP.
I'm no expert but I would think (guess) that pricing an ETF made up off other ETF's would be no less onerous or accurate then lets say pricing a S&P Total US Stock Market ETF or even a Total World Market ETF. One fund that I can think of off the…
You might want to re-Google or AI your numbers.
"Records indicate that during the period of US construction, more than 55,000 people were employed and an estimated 5,600 died of injury and disease. The death toll would have been higher without effe…
Seems odd,
"Some analysts say the markets weren’t prepared for the upheaval."
Hasn't he been telegraphing it since the primaries or am I and many other market participants just that out of touch.
My thoughts three.
I fear it'll end up being portrayed as one of those "See, I told you so" moments. All other probable causes or failures will be ground to dust and swept under the rug except for Obama and Biden policies being the root cause.
Maybe the bigger question should be is why are so many Americans hooked on this crap anyway?
2019 Fentanyl Sources
Q: Where is most fentanyl seized?
A: According to a 2023 report from the Department of Homeland Security, most fentanyl is primarily…
The Dem's don't have the votes and the R's are being kept busy cleaning out their pants.
After Ernst blessed Hegseth I expect nothing but total fealty.
How about this @FD1000,
He's had 4-yrs and 8 days as president to do something kind or good, something intelligent, something that benefits someone other than himself and he has failed at a most miserable rate. Even worse than the market predictors…
Not that it matters but I almost wish she hadn't said out loud what many already think anyway. That 'predator' moniker seems to describe exactly the type of candidate the "R's" want running things. More loony, audacious, deviant, and especially crim…
@Old_Joe @hank
Gentlemen, do you guys just study & research the dickens out of planes and/or flying or are either of you licensed to fly? I merely ask because your inputs in these discussions go beyond the typical layman's and I am both impress…
Hot pastrami on rye from Katz Deli if it was my choice or a grouper sammich from Tide Tables in Cortez.
Anyway my thoughts are that not everyone follows the minute details of every investment possibility and that this outlook might feed their curi…
There's more to that plane landing business and tariff fight than meets the eye. For example I didn't know that "... Colombia and the U.S. had an existing agreement for deportations under former president Joe Biden, and it accepted 475 deportation f…
Cool Link. Thanks @Mona. I had to pretty much scroll through 100-50 before I started to recognize the songs and artists. Cripes I'm getting old but still putting up a good fight when it's called for.
@davidrmoran - facts are facts, what can I say.
@hank - no need to fuss, just do what I do and move along when enough becomes enough. IIRC we went through 4-yrs of his preposterous nonsense the last time around. Think we'll get lucky this time?
@FD1K - who said "BTW, any time someone mentions Hitler or Nazis, they lose the debate, IMO." Apparently you haven't been paying attention. His tactics are right out of the Hitler/nazi playbook. Spend a little time educating yourself instead. One do…
Did I miss the memo? I thought that any equity shares which are publicly traded in any exchange must be completely public and transparent. So are most of these alternative platform trades confined to non-listed equities? Are they pink sheet stuff, p…
@hondo
I will NEVER forgive and forget a president that scorns America's veterans while at the same time pardoning, praising and excusing nazi's and insurrectionists.
Oh they'll still claim it alright but a rational, informed citizen will have no part of it. However, as we have seen lately, that may be a tall order for 50% of the electorate.
