People say it's rare BUT .. every downturn I've seen over the last 30-40 years BOTH bonds and stocks go down at the same time. Yes, bonds go down less than stocks but both go in the same direction up or down.
ALL because they want to keep their seat and are afraid Stupid will primary them. No other reason. Don't care about the country, their own party nothing, just their reelection. Best reason for term limits I've ever heard which 80%+ of the people wa…
You are suffering from what many of us do. The ability (or lack of) to do nothing, it's hard. For many of us this is also like a hobby. I'm doing much better in the last year doing nothing re: not changing funds/etfs, just simplifying and letting …
I like Crockett, she called him a piece of shit. Finally someone who's willing to give it back to him. He calls everyone names, sometimes you need to fight fire with fire. He needs incoming.
Soooo,, we decide to not sell chips to China for national security reasons BUT if you pay us money we will allow it, F' national security. WOW, I think Marx said this and it seems to be true, give the west enough rope and they'll hang themselves o…
I just read yesterday, they're poaching normal police/sheriff ranks in Florida. DeSantis is trying to stem the flow because I guess they're losing a lot of personnel. It's a sweet deal from what I've read, 50k but you have to commit to at least 5…
My concern: The added 10,000 additional masked ice force. Will they fire on civilians? Someone on the chain of command will have to be brave at some point and defy an order. Will they do it? Will those 2nd amendment folks who say they needed thei…
I've said this for years but what we're witnessing is the last gasp efforts of old white men to remain in power. They'll be able to do it for a while (another 5-10 years) with gerrymandering, voter suppression etc... but eventually they will lose …
As expected cult members are vigorously defending the firing saying there must be something wrong with the numbers. The glorious leader can not be wrong, it is forbidden.
I still find Quicken to be the most useful PM. It easily and seamlessly aggregates my data from multiple accounts as often as I click "update".
I use and have used Quicken for a long time but offline. Not happy they went to a subscription basis …
Our strength was our tight knit allies and partners we've built up over decades. If they thought is was a fluke the first term now they're thinking how can they trust the US going forward. Allies and partners unfortunately are in the process of goi…
He thinks he can lie and everyone will believe it. Gas is $1.98, inflation is way down, everybody loves us, tariffs aren't a tax and will make us great. I think he really believes that, everything is better than it's ever been in the history of the…
Yup, I think if he only has yes-men-women working for him he'll crash and burn. I just hope the damage is repairable. Well... I think he's going to crash and burn no matter what but that will quicken its arrival.
Those are quite large revisions -- 144+147 to 19&14 ( 291-thousand to 33-thousand!)
Do they just guess based on the last 3 months or something and then later collect the real numbers? We all thought this was going to happen, maybe it's the…
Yeah, Epstein took women from the Trump org. Old Donny had nothing to do with it or encourage it. Could it be old Donny funneled women to Epstein. Maxwell knows but she wants a pardon.
What a joke,,,, Trump comes out everyday with a little more about Epstein. Now Epstein stole a young girl from his place in Fla. How I see it: Pam Bondi and his lawyers who interviewed her feed him info on how he is mentioned in the files so he conc…
My brother paid cash for everything, stayed off the internet for the most part. Never shared his info. He passed recently and I wondered does/did it matter? In this new world of data we're just a bunch of bits in some computer someplace. Man's new e…
Big brother is no longer coming.... it's here. ADD: we volunteer our information. How many use facial recognition software on their phones to unlock accounts rather than using passwords. Raises my hand... Guilty as charged.
@drventure Not a bad idea.... I should too. INTL is on a tear and these runs usually last longer than I think they will. That and the changing world order/ trade unknowns can lead to who knows. Allies are enemies, enemies are allies, crazy times.
I was watching someone on TV that said the film footage isn't even of his cell or near his cell. It was someone who has been following and writing about the Epstein case from the beginning. ????????
I just had a talk with a friend about diversification etc... He was talking about 60/40 US/INTL and I was talking about just US. So I went and did some back testing using VTSAX (total stock) and VTIAX (total intl) Since 2010, US/INTL only beat US…
I support Israel but I think they're going too far. After the holocaust you would think they would see they're doing it themselves. I'm reading too many being killed trying to get food/aid.
craig ferguson. funniest, smartest, handsomest, wittiest, most-nonpolitical late-night talk-show host of all time, after carson. never seen anyone like him.
And the fact most of his guests were beautiful women didn't hurt.
