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.
So to summarize:
1) Self-created conflict for US
2) No authorization from Congress on his latest Friday night special
3) Deflects from pedophile investigations
After we get this clown out of office, many of the Laws and Regulations will need to be "altered".
Especially the ones involving limitations on the US President's powers. Although the GOP majority Congress should shoulder much of the blame. Hav…
Current term presidential Executive Orders need to be contested (in courts) more often. Especially this one.
An executive order (EO) is a written directive from the U.S. President that manages federal government operations, with the force of l…
Trump Under Fire After Unearthed Tape Captures Him Joking About Sleeping With 13-Year-Olds

In the newly circulated recording, Trump speaks candidly during an appearance on Howard Stern's…
I still would like to see some follow up as to exactly where the $10B went for his Board of Peace.
I think we know where it went.
Maybe in 9 months we get a reckoning.
Every time you go to a doctor's office, I can't help but think they are selling your info. as well.
I don't like the idea of using QR codes for the tracking issues listed in that youtube video. Beyond creepy that it can go on to biometric spying…
What we know factually, is that economic indicators have been steadily deteriorating. It takes a lot to push such a strong economy off its trajectory, but given enough time...
Yes, given enough time, the pillars of our economy deteriorate. Intl tr…
When it all collapses, none of us will be surprised. It could be months or a year from now, who knows. When that day arrives, MAGA will blame Biden, like the tools that they are.
Meanwhile, trade rotation away from the US (both debt and equity) w…
Meanwhile the ICE (gestapo) buildup continues unabated...
Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection have formally approved contracts for at least a whopping $144 million in weapons, ammunition, and other accessories duri…
If there no migrant workers left, who will Trump have taking care of his trashy Mar a Lago compound? He has a rep for stiffing them on their paychecks, that class act.
Q: Would Americans ever take jobs "in the fields"?
A: Nope, not even our fu…
Rumors have Cannon's husband tied to the mafia, though not substantiated. His mob boss was supposedly Trump's pal.
Trump appointed her in 2020 and her nose has been firmly up his ass since. She has no shame.
Funds which are long precious metals (gold, silver, etc.) are likely outperforming YTD. But perhaps a few of these hold shorts that are paying off as well, and many do invest globally.
A few more YTD returns:
PRPFX +9.4% YTD
ORR +13.4% YTD (…
Bold added:
Continued reallocation could provide a tailwind for gold. If investors nudged their allocations to just 3.5% from 3%, J.P. Morgan’s Chang says that could translate to $6,000 gold, while a move to 4.6% in coming years could push the price…
You know what is is that I (extremely) want to ask, right here...
Would it help if I mentioned that his general health is "not great" and that this mind has deteriorated to the point where he should probably be placed in a senior living facility? I…
Another newer play, ALLW, from Ray Dalio is marketed as a somewhat defensive option that mixes broad commodities and gold, global bonds and equities with inflation linked bonds. Leveraged.
Supposedly an all-weather portfolio.
I do own QDSNX t…
PRPFX is one of the few alt funds that has endured. A classic.
There are newer offerings as we look to offset potential volatility. I started adding BRGOX last year. HEDG is a new etf of a mutual fund with an ok track record. Own a few share…
"Why?"
Well why does he want his face chiseled into the side of Mt. Rushmore?
Arrogance? Dictator envy? Vanity? Brand promotion?
I think he sees the presidency as an opportunity to promote his name brand. And of course, to pillage the coffers …
Question is how does US repay the past tariffs already paid ? Does US taxpayers get a refund on this added-tax on 2025 tax return, say 10% plus interest?
Oh sure, but only if his name (and maybe picture, too) are included on the "refund" checks, …
What if....long shot here, but what if Trump is really on board with the SCOTUS shooting down his terrible idea of Tariffs, simply because he finally understands that they do not really help anybody.
Essentially, he gets a mulligan - he gets off …
Companies will not be fooled, they will rein in spending, and cut costs, and that usually impacts hiring.
So who is being fooled here? Is there not a trickle-down effect to this reduction of new hiring?
(AI will not save us.)
Affordability issu…
So we are now saying that Orange stealing $10B at a time is essentially being normalized.
And he's "grifting" at our expense, just in much larger amounts than before.
More problematic is that much of America's broadcast news will be filtered by the current admin. As in, most of it.
The internet may be a prime source of news for most, but especially among older folks there are many that still rely on TV news.
I mean, Trump did exonerate himself this week, saying ALL the Epstein files were released, and he wasn't really in those files. (Lie on top of lie).
That should put this all to bed (no pun intended), right???
You can always trust an orange co…
