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.
What is happening is that the calculus over what is worse, letting it all out, or being seen as a party to withholding the release has changed.
Gee, don't the Republicans trust their own DOJ ? I wonder why that could be? Maybe they have "TDS".

Well, Harris was certainly prescient on that one. Rahm Emmanuel was out to lunch.
I don't know anything, of course. But, Immanuel may have been talking about the messaging necessary to get elected. Which may differ greatly from what actually needs t…

I wonder where all the job seekers of the right color are lining up for these jobs they said were stolen from them.
Yes, the drywalling jobs. The agriculture jobs. The roofing jobs. The factory work. Hospitality. Cleaning offices and hot…
Working my whole life in telecom, cable tags were on everything from power to data cables. Never heard of anything like that. Most of the time, the cables were extremely difficult to pull free of the connector, once seated fully. Maybe the tag got s…
My son attended a Big 10 university with a large Chinese student population. When most of the American kids were falling down drunk, the Chinese students were studying, mainly STEM. Those students also pay full tuition. Many Chinese students come fr…
trump read 20 pages? I cannot imagine him reading 1 page and understanding it.
Maybe slather it in Big Mac sauce and keep his attention for a paragraph or so?
Trump lost this battle bigly. He only agreed AFTER it was 100% clear that he could not win. Which is an attempt to minimize the damage he caused himself by trying to stop the release.
I would expect that important heads will roll. L Summers is alr…
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.
I would argue that he has more influence on the downside: tariff threats have caused a…
I have read a few things that suggest the GOP gerrymander effort is not necessarily going to work out in their favor. That it might even backfire. That some in the GOP are against it altogether.
Is anyone knowledgeable enough?
Wait! You know what is missing from this discussion? Someone to advise us all not to listen to the "experts". Someone to point out that everyone is "usually" wrong. And can cherry-pick select statistics to "prove" t…
Yes. I know people who gamble in the traditional way. I do not. Except in the stock market, where it is practically assured that I win in the long term. And I have the statements to prove it! lol
All over X today was the fact that for the first time since April 30 the S@P closed below its 50 day moving average. The fifth longest uptrend since 1950. Going into today we had something like 5 Hindenburg Omens, One in and of itself is pretty m…
Ya, well. TROW has it coming. Service to clients fell into the toilet long ago.
I’d question how much fund houses / brokerages trade on service. Indirectly, yes. But my reading suggests it’s mostly about AUM and the direction of fund flows - in or …
I often get weird blank stares, if I bring up investing. Weird because most of my friends know/suspect that I am way more versed than they are. Maybe they think that I am bragging. I have been told, "I do not pay attention to that stuff, I have a FA…
There's a growing part of me that's like "screw it, sell it all!" but then you're sitting in cash or munis for who-knows-how-long which isn't too bad, I guess. So I trim where I can and stay in quality DRIP stocks and a few MLPs since I'm not 100%…
Jeffrey Gundlach joins the choir.

Karine Jean-Pierre, could not be reached for comment before this post was submitted for your attention to this matter. Thank you.
Hahaha
Note that, unlike the usual from maga supporters, no one here is presenting deflections, whataboutisms, or any support for Summers choices/actions.
Trump has managed to mishandle this so badly that no matter what is in those files, it will be susp…
•Home Depot fell short of third-quarter earnings estimates, its third straight miss, and cut its full-year profit outlook.
•The company said slow consumer spending and a weaker housing market have made home improvement demand worse than it expected…
Oh, I was only talking about today's drop. HAL, DVN, BKR, EPD & XOM were my biggest losers. Whenever I see energy stocks take it on the chin, I suspect worries about slowing growth to be the culprit.
Meanwhile, my only stocks in the green were…
I am also thinking how ironic it is that Comey is being prosecuted for lying to Congress, allegedly. And the case appears to be falling apart because the prosecutors are suspected of lying to the Grand Jury.
Are they like brain mechanics?
Are you referring to surgeons like the one who removed the remains
of a parasitic tapeworm from the brain of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.?
Either they used a shovel, or missed a few.
It is hard to know what to make of this. People typically being so inept at living within their means. Plus, age has a lot to do with it. Making $200K, with a paid off house and paid for autos, kids done with college, is far different from just star…
