The problem, in my mind, with the whole "tax the rich" idea is, at MINIMUM, that someone with means can easily relocate to avoid them. Same thing with businesses. I vividly recall Bjorn Borg setting up residence in Switzerland to avoid the taxes w…

Fwiw to anyone, I've added on the way down; so I'm hoping for a full rebound. Today's action raises hope that the tech party isn't over just yet. I wish I could say that I did all my buying yesterday after having sold on the highs, but, sadly, tha…
A lot depends on whether or not you're going to "sit and forget" or not. Going back beyond the last month, AIGPX and FBALX have been good choices. Giroux maybe rotated a little early with PRWCX (closed), but prior to the last, maybe, nine months, …
Quiet day, mostly; looks as if ARKG was trying to climb back between the Bollinger Bands. The others seem to be looking for a direction rather than trending.
Buy the dip?
https://theirrelevantinvestor.com/2021/02/23/buy-the-dip/
When the panic stops, I would say yes. I actually added a little ARKW yesterday after things bounced. I figured a bounce after a huge drop such as we had early was a good sign.…
MATFX is a large cap EM fund.
You DID read what I wrote, correct? ARTYX seems to have 35% US and is large cap growth. FSEAX is at least mostly foreign, but ALSO large cap growth. All per M*. If that is correct, then MATFX, with 100% Asian larg…
An extra note: even after her first afib episode and its treatment, my wife's cardiologist said "You must get the second shot".
The danger of Covid outweighs the side effects of the vaccine.

I'm just going to add that I did NOT have an afib…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_for_"Superman"
Thank you for providing the link for everyone. It appears (to me) to be a pretty even-handed review/commentary, and it's nice to see some of the OTHER side of the issues being included. As I sai…
Well I watched WAITING FOR SUPERMAN, so I guess I'm now allowed to state opinions again. It throws a ton of different issues into the air, so commenting intelligently on them would take as long as the documentary. While some may choose to disagree…
Thanks for the links; I'll take a look at the movie (documentary?).
There are certainly two separate issues, and, fortunately, this thread quickly diverged from the initial partisan headline to more substantive issues. I'm not sure we've talked mu…
Crash asserted nonsense and I called him on it with substantiation. Then he started handwaving about a just society but calling for more flunking of kids.
Whatever.
Racqueteer, this may not be the best month to trot out the tired bootstraps argu…
David, if you're not a teacher (and have never been one?), you can't begin to argue the issue with any insight.
Gotta admit, I stopped reading your post there.
Following that logic (?), do you also hold that if you've never played professional s…
>> Parents must do their job, too. ... A reorientation toward a just society is needed. Universal health care.
Ah. Got it. Okay then.
And flunking kids. Great idea.
And thinking of them as snowflakes. I trust you are not subbing anymore.…
I wonder if it's worth pointing out that at least the first couple of years of a four-year administration probably have more to do with the last couple of years of the previous administration? I'd be happier with a comparison from year two of an ad…
SCG MSSMX UP 5.01% today.
Just sayin'.
And my thanks for bringing it to my attention the other day. I looked at it and bought immediately; which was, fortunately, BEFORE that surprising gain! I'm a believer in the SC rotation; so your mention was…

@BenWP: I'm guessing you're meaning ARKK? ARKK has a little of everything, but is getting HUGE...
I personally like ARKW as a hold, and I'm in and out of ARKG; since the volatility there is just CRAZY; 4-5% in a day isn't uncommon!!! And that rec…
Zweig cautions that these funds are as risky as story stocks and cites research that showed that thematic funds underperformed conventional funds over time by about 0.5% per month.
As may be, but you have to admit that it'll take a good long time f…
Was that data good, or bad?
I could nitpick and say it's imaginary 'data', or not really data at all, but that's just splitting hairs. In truth, I wasn't thinking about completely bogus 'data' as being a possibility; I more or less presume that whe…
I think it is more a case of confounding factors for which we cannot control. Data is data; it really can't be 'good' or 'bad'. The collection design can be poor; or we may not be able to isolate a single variable, but that's about it as far as th…
Rbrt, haven’t checked out your link, but will. Just a quick comment: battery technology is another problematic issue. We just don’t seem to have sufficient energy density in our existing battery technology. That will be a critical factor in applying…
As I said earlier, I was responding to the SPECIFIC post by the op. Whether we should do "something", whether we should be supporting the President Elect, what our political beliefs might be, and all the OTHER crap dragged in to dispute what I post…
Found this, which seems to do a good job of summarizing the arguments for solar; both pro and con.
I appear to have been incorrect about the landmass required for solar panel replacement of fossil fuels, though problems related to transmission pe…
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…
I said "last try"; not last post, Lewis, but obviously your reading skills are on par with your reasoning skills. I had hoped that an actual discussion on merits, not ideology, might be possible, but apparently it isn't only one 'side' which is cl…
Raq, you can't possibly say anything, even a bit, of criticism of any Dem agenda no matter what, even if you are one of them ;-) I love it.
There is only one good doable solution NUCLEAR. Has its own problems, but in terms of CURRENT technology a…
>> unhappy with me pointing out the inevitability of another ice age
As if this has anything to do with anything. Jesus. I am guessing you do not have grandchildren. Mine, 3-6-9, are going to live a long time barring mishap, but not 1-2k yea…
You're both right in that it's obviously pointless to try to engage in an actual dialogue based on reality with either one of you. That I happen to consider what Biden said to be unworkable doesn't mean anything politically except in the mind of so…
thanks, I will go reread your doable proposals
have you written about proper carbon costing and capture?
I have not. To what, specifically, are you referring? From context, I believe you are focusing on CO2 impact- global warming? What capture …
@racqueteer I've cited three separate paths which WOULD be solutions, but not in 15 years.
You cited three different solutions--geothermal, tidal and microwaves--and dismissed all of them and complained about how other countries are failing so why…
Ok, last try for me... The issue is 15 years; what can be accomplished in that time. I don't think that we're likely to have any kind of solution in that timeframe. I've cited three separate paths which WOULD be solutions, but not in 15 years. T…
So, LewisBraham, the sum total of what you've got is: "We can do it", followed by the notion that we can do it ON OUR OWN, 'somehow'? Hmmm... You claim you "cant understand my commentary"? Admittedly, I used a couple big words, and didn't adhere t…
So, LewisBraham, other than dismissing the second, and least important of my commentary, do you have a response to the FIRST part? Btw, since my background is physics and chemistry, you needn't worry about either my politics (unmentioned, but clear…
