Hi Hank,
Your satire came across very well. Don't worry about the user name.
Best,
Lewis
@sma3 I don't think he ever ran FPACX, but FPNIX and FPPTX. Steve Romick is FPACX's manager. Skill at money management doesn't mean logic in politics. There is a significant population of libertarian money managers who are so deluded they believe th…
Being nominated and winning are two very different things. As for the location of the embassy, non members of the Likud and non-Orthodox see it as disastrous locally and bad globally for the Jews. The Israel-UAE accord is a good thing, though.
Of several statements made by your ignominious source Rush Limbaugh and reviewed by Politifact, Poliifact found 15% of them to be true and 85% varying degrees of false:

The comment "Trump is worse than Hitler" is so hyperbolic it's hard to believe people take it seriously. By contrast an article from a Russian propaganda site like ZeroHedge can look all too real and has fooled people. Old_Skeet would routinely say …
Since value investing with metrics on a quantitative level is rather mechanical, I'm not sure it's fair to say it's "short tech." If tech were priced differently on a number of different valuation metrics, value funds would own more of it. It is not…
So Old_Skeet leaves to go to a site "where free expression would be allowed," and the response to that is MFO should limit free expression of political ideas. The paradoxical claim of O_S all along was that he hated politics on the board while he bo…
And here we go—Godwinization. I wouldn’t say Trump is the evilest, but I would say he is the stupidest and most incompetent in the post-monarchal era. You’d have to go back to the age of inbred royalty to find one like him. As far as evil incarnate …
So funny that you think "unnamed sources" are a problem when the conspiracy theorist king president's favorite line is "people are saying...." without verifying who is saying what about the latest Democrat conspiracy: https://theatlantic.com/magazin…
@MSF I'll ask Old_Skeet to contact Zerohedge and Putin to see if they have any extra of their super-good true most special yummy vaccine for Americans like Johnn to try.
Classic Whataboutism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism. A hair salon versus the most powerful man in the world lying about the dangers of the disease, not implementing enough shutdowns soon enough, lying about potential cures, not manufact…
@wxman123 Prior to Covid, the most violent crime ridden states were run by Republicans--Louisiana, Alaska, Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, Alabama, etc. https://usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/07/16/americas-most-violent-and-peaceful-states/39672…
Old_Skeet Everything is not truthful, but that's besides the point. You are pivoting to avoid implicating yourself. You are starting the most contentious political threads while simultaneously complaining the board is too political. Examine the top…
Old_Skeet However, I'm not going to sit back while others continue with political comments and post without activity myself.
Most of the posts from others lately have been on threads--"They're Angry, Not Stupid! Why Trump Is Likely To Win Again"--yo…
@rforno I don't think FD1000 really cares if a fund has an expense ratio of less than 0.1%. He routinely recommends and invests in funds with higher expense ratios on MFO, according to his own posts. This is about defending POTUS's anti-ESG actions.

Thank you, @Old_Skeet, a…
The past is never dead. It's not even past. 1619 wasn’t when the oppression ended but when it began. I don’t think it’s racist to leave an unsafe environment. I do think it’s a mistake to not try to understand on a deeper level why it might be unsaf…
The crime statistics are both a truth and a lie. They're not truly understandable without asking why. Instead of offering education, opportunity and let's be honest, therapy--after 400 years of oppression since 1619--many parts of the country offer …
Global Reach is the template or master fund for all of Grandeur's other funds, including pretty much every stock the firm likes in its portfolio, from the tiniest microcaps to the largest companies the shop buys. Global Opportunities is more tightly…
@royal4 Yep, that's the amazing part. All of these problems happened under his watch, yet he's saying if you vote Democratic, this is what will happen.
@Derf And why was a 17-year old at a protest with an Ar-15 to begin with? Why did he meet with the police prior to the protest and they just did nothing to prevent him from behaving this way, in fact ignored him after he killed two people? Do you be…
@Level5 For most of the Republican Party, Chicago and New York are really just code for the N word. This has been true well before the current black lives matter protests since the Southern Strategy began. Yet without those two cities and California…
Anyone with a set of eyes can tell you that crime in NYC has not gotten better under de Blasio
Sure, because your anecdotal individual experience of what your “gut” tells you matters more than scientifically collected data just like if there’s a…
I find it interesting from a psychological perspective that the one fund I recommended that is hot right now VWIGX is the one many MFOrs are interested in while the two value ones I mentioned that are also good funds in their categories--QUSOX and H…
