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.
Maybe we just learn never to vote in another billionaire sociopath POTUS who lies with every breath?
Of course, for that to happen, the megadonors running the show would have to align their interests with the lower 99%. Hmmmmm.
A wave of Dem m…
A deep correction in AI stocks, if it ever arrived, could threaten the “wealth effect” that is doing so much to prop up the economy, Slok warned.
To keep the whole US economy from keeling over entirely, the markets (driven by Tech/AI) have to conti…
Elections have consequences that last a lot longer than a 4 year Presidential term -- life appointments of judges, long tenured Fed Governors, etc..
Let's add to that the isolationist policy that is straining the United States' international trade…
At least we don't have to deal with those pesky Canadians anymore. Don't need their business, eh?
Other countries are reducing trade with the US and re-routing their supply chain to China and other countries.
The "stable genius" strikes again.
Our supposed POTUS responded to a female Bloomberg reporter with "Quiet. Quiet, piggy" when asked about Epstein.
There was a time when that kind of comment could get you booted from your perch.
I miss such times.
Trump's "influence" over the markets has been greatly exaggerated, IMHO.
I don't know that Orange, Bessent & co. can really stem the tide once it goes out.
OJ, that's the major problem since Nancy Pelosi stepped down. Schumer is not a leader - he is not widely respected. Schumer cannot punch back.
The Dems don't have somebody with the balls that Nancy had. They better find that person. No AOCs,…
The benchmark of success has become the bare minimum to keep up.
I think inflation is creeping into the American psyche. Our dollars aren't going nearly as far as they used to. Lack of confidence in the regime makes us skittish.
Insurance (hom…
Felt good to hear quotes about how 47 is turning into a "lame duck president" less than 1 year into his second term.
We have other references for him, but I'll take this one! The tide is finally turning a bit more.
One could argue that the markets should not and do not usually go up in a straight line. Corrections are viewed as "healthy".
From that take, the past 6 months have not been entirely "healthy".
Kind of like eating at the All You Can Eat buffet …
Supposedly taxable distributions for ORR are "unlikely" per the website, so should be ok for Taxable accts.
ORR will likely not short many individual stocks as they admit that it's tougher to do so in an ETF format.
Anyway, this ETF has started …
Sniff sniff....still smells like commoners, OJ :)
If somebody could please text me the weekly bridge schedule. I heard Warren is dropping out, though Bill still plays. (Too bad I've never played, though).
All this exclusivity sounds entici…
POTUS seems to get away with skirting the "conflict of interest" investment rules. And that includes his family. Its good to be the king.
@Observant1, had no idea we shared this great dislike of the polloi types. Can I join the 1% club too? …
"In the Bentley Residences condo tower under construction in Sunny Isles Beach, north of Miami, car elevators will deliver residents straight up to their homes and deposit vehicles in adjoining “sky garages,” avoiding the need to deal with parking v…
What will these coins be made of?
-Fools gold
-Cutup Epstein love letters
-Unmailed paychecks that are being withheld from his Mar Lago staff
-Rare earth metals obtained during JD Vance's wonderful trip to Greenland
You don't have to pay for CAOS- Trump provides all you need for free. :)
Sadly True.
If they ever issue a new ticker for his own self themed ETF, it would probably be PERP.
Bought CAOS (very steady, with tail risk) and added to HEDG (Equable Shares Hedged Equity). Both for taxable acct.
Becoming a collector of various gadget ETFs.
Buffett is a shrewd and patient investor. Understatement maybe?
A very sensible and level-headed individual. I wonder if he could have translated his skills over into the political forum. We don't have many such people as leaders.

A report showed that last month was the worst October for US layoffs since 2003, which grabbed the attention of investors in the absence of official data delayed by the federal government shutdown.
Relax, it's just AI doing it's thing. We don't nee…
If the dem's can't muster up a heavyweight, What are Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger doing these days?
If the Dem's chosen candidiate has a pulse and they can run a half-decent campaign for once, it would be a breath of fresh air.
You can wait until November to buy your discounted Halloween candy, but you still have to pony up. Prices are scary high.
Get ready to buy just "2 dolls instead of 30" this XMAS.
