@a2z Thanks for the link
"Since when was a simple pipeline, with boring utility-style returns and point-to-point delivery, a more attractive investment than an LNG export megaproject that exploits double-digit ROI global arbitrage opportunities?"
Exactly, what happens when government tosses free market principles in the trash and imposes control of important industries. Puts their yuge thumb on the scale. The textbook definition is a "managed economy", like China, who is also prone to these …
Normally, the honor of naming things after a person is based on widespread love, and usually post mortem. Not just forced on everyone. Hmmm, he does seem to be brain dead?
LOL - Awesome. Big fan of Jonny Quest back in the day.
I sent the Dailymotion link to my 32 year old son, he will get a big kick out of it.

One of my favorite Skynyrd tunes that never got much airplay.
Live from 1976. I saw them that year in Chicago, August 1976 @ Comisky Park.
This is practically garage rock.
Right, good point on the style box. I have many portfolios built. Such as, "Cash/cash equivalents", "All Fixed Income", "Individual stocks' and a "Total Portfolio" that encompasses everything, except life insurance cash value (minimal), home equity,…
@DrVenture. We had not bought ground beef in years. Generally don’t eat meat but wife was making some terrific cabbage soup. That price was shocking. I tell my wife every day that it would really be terrible to be poor nowadays. Thanks maga.
@…
A cogent point. Those who are most vocal about their allegiance, are digging their own hole. Many will never say anything to them directly, but never see them the same way again.
Like people that escape weird religions and cults are always viewed …
This guy is absolutely miserable. And has done it to himself. He will spend his last days in misery that he brought upon himself. All that he had to do was walk away after his first term and return the classified documents.
He desperately wants to…
All bills, from utilities to food to durable goods are making people groan.
Basic protein like ground beef at $14.99 will be unbearable for many households.
Making American's Groan Again!
@sma3
This is also a great reminder, as I had forgotten that.
The IRS website said it was acceptable to modify (increase/decrease), I entered all of the data, using my confirmation number. Then it said that the pre-filled (and previous) payment d…
@msf Thanks, as always, for the excellent info. You may have saved me some aggravation/consternation trying to change things. I'll do a little Googling.
As I paid the first three on the regular schedule and the third one is already scheduled, I…
Only if Obama or Clinton drop by.
In case my reference was not clear, one of the recently released Epstein photos was of trump condoms at Epstein's island.
I let go of my small caps 3-4 years ago, before their outsized LT performance reverted to mean. I held my mid caps a bit longer, and finally let them go for the same reasons. I had OTCFX and RPMGX for decades.
I will need to see a track record of…
BIAWX shelled out close to 20%.
A few of my growth funds did too. I am planning now to up my January estimated tax payment to avoid a penalty, as I liquidated an inherited IRA this year also.
Maybe they will have containers of trump condoms to hand out at events? Who will entertain? Nugent? Kid Rock? Kanye? Dimebag Darrell? A totally sane bunch!
Guessing it will be half empty, like his rallies.
In terms of "gaslighting", the advent of the "Another Good Week" thread was transparently political. Attempting to portray it otherwise is not remotely surprising. But, it does speak to credibility. When viewed alongside complaints of "politics", it…
@catch22
Excellent. I have a very rare bootleg of Steppenwolf at The Matrix circa 1972? Where they do a lengthy performance of The Pusher out of their minds on acid. It sounds exactly like you might imagine.
Who noticed that when China did not meet their "promise" to buy more agricultural goods, that the WH moved the goal posts? And that despite promising a "deal" with China, way back in June, the American people are seeing little progress and paying hi…
@FD1000 Yesterday on MFO you posted, "Given this environment, it’s important that at least one voice consistently presents perspectives from the other side to maintain balance and encourage genuine debate."
The post by @Observant1, also yesterday, …
Wait until the maga folks see their family's ACA subsidies disappear in 2026. In red states these are all people who work, because no ACA subsidy without Medicaid expansion, which red states refuse to honor. You must make over $12,000 annually to qu…
Got 50 shares CL on limit order @ $77.99
Got 50 shares of TRI @ $130.96
Still have open limit orders on NOC and BMY...patience!
Missed BMY by 9 cents on days low.
Sorry to inform you that you have never offered that "balance". Not even close.
I recall when this guy posted on another forum (some time back) that people who enter into a new environment should adapt, not try to change it (paraphrase). He wa…
The guy took office and in less than one year there are clear signs that his economic policies are crushing jobs, confidence and affordability. No question that he is destroying alliances formed over a century of cooperation. Exactly what one could …
