@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.
Why would anyone want that job. You know Trump is going to throw anyone who has that job under the bus. No matter what they do they will be blamed by Trump if there are ANY problems in the economy. Lose, lose position to hold as long as Trump is a…
Yes, it's coming. You can't do stupid stuff and get away with it for long. When your trade "agreement" isn't worth the paper it's written on you get what you deserve. It's called an agreement not "my whims/feelings/might change tomorrow" contract.
I wonder if Powell should resign with a statement like the following: I'm resigning under protest. Trump is going to blame me no matter what happens to the economy. From this moment forward Trump owns the economy when he places his choice in this …
LOL, it's so stupid it's sad. Yeah, empty out those nursing homes, field work is good for you. You can tell she has no clue, farm work is HARD. I wish there was a leader like Cesar Chaves? around to shut down all farm work for a month. They'd be beg…
I figured out why the Saudi's gave Trump (Jared) 2 billion. Trump agreed to push oil consumption. He's getting rid of as much green/clean energy/incentives as possible. He makes money for the oil cartel == 2 billlon+ in payments to Trump family.
Job opening are of course going to go up. Deport thousands and thousands of people who had those jobs ...guess what... more job openings but many Americans don't want those jobs. We already had a labor problem now it will just get worse. S T U P …
He only posts because he gets attention. If you folks would ignore, really ignore , REALLY really ignore all of his posts he'll fade away which would be good IMHO. Try it for the rest of the year 2025. IGNORE
Contrary to the view from FD and his rose colored glasses ,,, America is fucked and we won’t even know how bad for weeks. The pundits I follow say fight we must but I don’t see a path forward. Anyone have any hope to share?

Talk about inflation, all my insurance policy's renew in July.
WOW
Erie: House +27%, Umbrella +39%, Auto +22%,
Progressive: Boat --> went down $1.00
crazy...
Wow, when I linked mine it was a few clicks, enter routing number, account number, maybe one or two other steps and done. Although that was back in 2020.
But, I am open to learning. So, let's hear exactly which policies caused this inflation relief and the mechanism behind it? Explain the causation. Was it taxing all imports at historic levels? That would suggest demand destruction. In that case, l…
YUP, $7 or $8 for 10oz of spinach. Crazy... well at least bananas are still cheap. In a few years that 10 oz of spinach will be about $20. Time and costs march on....
Inflation is among us!! I don't know about you but everything I buy on Amazon is 1 or 2 bucks more even stuff I just bought like 6 months ago. Example today: roach stuff $7.99 in Nov 24, now $9.79 Gas used to be $2.89 all over the place, now it's…
"Wouldn't that would remove major concern about Iran effectively retaliating against any state assisting Israel?"
Almost 100 ships a day traverse the Strait of Hormuz and it's only 20 something miles wide at some points. About 20-25% of the global…
"might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.”
Does anyone believe him anymore, it's the same old line over and over again. No wonder he's known as TACO.
What BS, he just makes stuff up. Last I read it'll be deployed June 12th. Now because they "want to be very careful" add another 10 days. Yet, people still buy the stock. Sorry, it's a failing car company that's way, way, way overvalued.
It's so screwed up. You read stories about their trying to hire back a bunch of people because they F'd up and fired too many. What an inept admin. SMH
Yes, NEVER call, answer, click anything in an email or text. I even have my phone set to not answer if you're not in my contacts. I figure if it's important they will leave a voicemail. If you think it's real call the number you have for them tha…
"Knowledge of DIY for whatever may prove to be a wonderful source of money (money not spent, eh?)"
For sure. Being able to DIY in my younger years has been a major factor in accumulating enough to be able to pay others now that I''m 85. I do have t…
That's a tough one. I remember when the sky was falling when it hit 1 trillion around 1980. The world is coming to an end for the USA everyone was screaming. THIS CAN'T GO ON!! The difference for the USA is if nobody else buys our debt we buy it…
OR.... the Trump family and Elon have their shorts on Tesla in place for the next week or so. Call me skeptical, It wouldn't surprise me at all (we'll never hear about it) but these grifters are gonna grift.
Well, if true, we all called it when this bromance started. Two narcissistic people aren't going to get along very long. They both crave the spotlight and when one doesn't get it they'll try and trash the other.
