Not for me I'm actually thinking about going old school like Gibbs with just a flip phone. Believe it or not I can still read a map and the screens are to small for scrolling.
Yeah, I don't understand either of the golds, black or yellow, but especially the yellow. Rono tried his darnedest in regards to the yellow stuff but apparently I'm just dense.
All I can tell you about the used car market is that I get 1-2 letters per week from dealers telling me how much in demand my 2009 Silverado pickup is which only makes me think the I should hold on to this treasure.
@Catch22 - if your query re: health care was legitimate and not just an example then you might get some insight here:

Does anyone use a MacBook to watch these things? I can never figure out how to load or download (not sure which I'm supposed to be doing) the shows.
No intention of selling any PCI or PDI, at least at this time.
I've used all three (MacBook, iPad, iPhone) depending upon where I was and what I was doing when the buying/selling opportunity presented itself. I don't discriminate. I prefer not to use the phone because I have the same slow, fat fingers as a coup…
I opened a WF account over 20 years ago when the company I worked for had some kind of a group deal going on with them. I received things like lower interest rates on loans, free notary services, free travelers checks and other odds and ends I would…
@Ted - with respect to mutual funds you may be right but there are at least 10 other discussion boards at M* covering a variety of topics. I find the CEF, Fidelity and the Income & Dividend Investing forums to be quite knowledgeable and interest…
I hope you're right David but nothing is certain other than chaos with either of those two wackadoodles. Peace, laws and logic seem way beyond their scope of comprehension.
They need the waiting in line for foo-foo drinks and those eating out experiences to have time to stare at their smart phones. Ain't never going to give that up for no stock market.
My experience pretty much mirrors Skeet's in all respects. I use an insurance broker who supposedly shops all available companies with a view toward my best (financial) interests. Then I double check that.
Years ago we were led to believe that poli…
David, the problem is that most people only read or watch that which they already agree with and/or offers support to their narrow, firmly ensconced views. Heaven forbid they consider what the opposing side has to say and then engage in friendly deb…
So true Bob but where/what would be the media exposure for any of those events? As with you I also enjoy fine wine but honestly I have a hard time discerning the difference between a $100 and a $10 bottle so these days I almost exclusively buy the l…
FWIW - all companies listed on the London Stock Exchange are PLC's - Publicly Limited Companies. This is distinct from and not related to US listed LLC's.
I AM NOT A TAX EXPERT!
As you are well aware the IRS wants their money. When I hold a foreig…
One guess where he went to school. What a bunch of morons. I can't wait to see and hear all of the backpedaling when this gang of fools are exposed for what they are.
Apparently M* disagrees with Ted.
From Fund Spy: What Impact Does Amazon Have on Your Fund?
http://news.morningstar.com/articlenet/article.aspx?id=817024
When 4050 mutual funds own positions in Amazon (source M* ownership link) I can't think of a solid, valid reason why a discussion of their practices should not be fair game on this board especially when it pertains to government action which may hav…
I apologize to @davidrmoran. I'm not trying to redirect the thread. I just felt that I can see his base of support wallowing in the identical pool and they would never, ever admit that they maybe chose the wrong person to pilot the ship.

Not too surprising catch. I venture to say that many appliances are not made by the manufacturer printed on the label. Made 'for' them yes, but not by them.

I'm in strong agreement with your statements @msf however it is not all OZ down under especially in Sydney (with which I am most familiar) where the rich v. poor and political divides are as wicked as the US.
Curious why you chose winter for your h…
PRPFX owns both gold and silver. One might be able to get close owning CEF - Central Fund of Canada which contains roughly 65% gold and 35% silver. As mentioned by others previously the time to be in PRPFX is when stocks are heading south and the me…
@catch22 - I think you misconstrued the point of the article/exercise. The exercise was to determine how these 4 funds would hold up over a 25 year withdrawal period assuming a 4% withdrawal rate with a 3% inflation kicker each year of withdrawal.
