@catch22 - Thanks! Cool site. I wasn't aware that they broke down quotes/data like this.
Trying to stay warm but a winter storm just kicked off about 30 minutes ago. It was about 35 degrees this am when I was out rescuing wholly bear caterpillars o…
I like the concept but prefer the ARK family of funds at this time and have since March. I employ ARKK and ARKG. I get my fill of the FAANG stocks elsewhere.
I believe that he was drinking or taking something much different than bathwater. Otherwise I bailed before the crash because like you I too became uncomfortable with his overexposure and decisions. I wanted to stick around because I thought he was …
@msf - I've always thought of the S&P 500 as a stock market index that tracks the stocks of the largest 500 U.S. companies. Today's market environment does not lead me to believe that the current list is made up of a 50-50 split growth v. value.…
@Rbrt - not necessarily would I overweight. Have that plan in the works ahead of time and stick to it. If it doesn't work out then decide if you need a new plan. The whole exercise is meant to take your biases, or the markets, out of the equation. E…
A bit confusing as the second paragraph of the WaPo article states "Experts said it does not appear more deadly or resistant to vaccines."
However, deeper into the article it says "John Edmunds, an infectious diseases expert at the London School o…
@OJ - I'll see your biggest and ultimate lie and raise you a bunch.
In today's edition of Letters From an American written by Heather Cox Richardson (AND I highly encourage you to subscribe to her email list) she writes:
"A year ago today, the Hou…
Nada. I have trouble guessing my own passwords 95% of the time so I'm thinking that a hacker wouldn't fair much better. Also, and as naive as it sounds, I don't spend much time thinking about doomsday scenario's and all like that.
@Sven - the latest buzz is that both he and Loeffler both invested in Dupont after receiving Covid briefings in February. Dupont is the maker/supplier of body bags and toe tags.

@racqueteer - you said "They also have a lifetime of 25-30 years, apparently; so that's a LOT of replacing which would be ongoing."
By the same token furnaces, pumps, drilling/excavating machinery, etc., etc., etc. break down and need to be replace…
If this report is to be believed how is this better than wind or solar power generation?
Disadvantages Of Geothermal Energy
I hope we can all agree that there is plenty of pollution associated with generating power from fossil fuels so is geotherm…
Just curious, other than handing over more money to those who are already grossly wealthy what are the republican plans on any issue of concern to the citizens of the US?
We've got to figure out a way to raise taxes on those who earn less than $200K a year to make up for the taxes these folks aren't paying. Oh wait, we're already doing that aren't we. To be fair, the oil majors aren't the only ones doing it.
Not for me. While it certainly beats the britches off it's category it trails the S&P 500 by nearly an equal gap. I guess it all depends on what you're after or trying to achieve.
@wxman123 - I'm done arguing with you and from now on I'm just going to let you be wrong.
Furthermore you said "Piling on is just an expression of your political views, IMO." Your opinion couldn't be further from the truth. What matters to me is th…
"Sorry you lost friends, but in Florida that was very likely a result of choices THEY made, unlike Cuomo who gave nursing home residents none."
Yes, they decided to become doctors and nurses. So stupid.
@wxman123 - who said "I don't have any great ideas on how we could have dealt with Covid any better." So you think that denying that it even existed, calling it names (China virus), calling it a hoax and stating that it would just magically disappea…
@BenWP, I've NO idea of course, it's just a feeling but I think Cathie's issue may be that she wants a partner that thinks like an innovator, see's the future possibilities and not one who only is in it for how much money they'll be making. She also…
That MATFX is an odd little duck. While it's technically correct possibly to compare it to an Asia/ex Japan index it's over 62% Chinese holdings. I'm also not to sure about the disrupters/innovators label but it is what's selling these days.
Much like old men do now chasing little balls around a golf course in other words. Except in your case it enriches the old men and stiffs the taxpayers for the cost.
Just looking at the number of Covid deaths, the lines for food leading up to Thanksgiving, the unemployment rate and the number of closed small businesses with loss of health care to their employees nothing the current administration did anything to…
Sorry wxman123 but to me you implied that Dow 30K was some great achievement and all should be happy across the land. You failed to address how that's important to the average person on the street or the world in general. Also neither you, I or anyo…
Well wxman123, if DOW 30K is what makes life worth living for you then I guess we have vastly different priorities. Tell me, how has that made life any better for the average Joe on the street. How is the world in general any better at all because t…
