"Gabbard is stunningly unqualified for almost any Cabinet post (as are some of Trump’s other picks), but especially for ODNI. She has no qualifications as an intelligence professional—literally none."
Isn't that a pre-requisite for a Trump selectio…
I can't access M* Portfolio Manager.

chang, do drop in. How well do you know the woman that testified to the House Ethics Committee that she had sex with Mr. Gaetz when she was 17 years-old?
Good post BaluBalu.
I think that 13 voted for Rick Scott but he was 1 vote short of advancing. And, then a we know, John Thune beat John Cornyn in the runoff.
MAGA was pushing hard for Rick Scott. He was the CEO of Columbia/HCA (now HCA Healthcare…
You’re the first to admit that the Dems made mistake. I’m glad you’re able to see and do that. As for me, well, Trump got 73,461,776 votes and counting. You can call them all stupid, but again, that suggests that there’s nothing wrong with how the d…
Go for it, guys. Let the TDS flow. If the Democrats can find no fault within their party or candidate, and blame the American people for their loss, they will never win another national election.
And Trump is the candidate of antisemitism? Not the …
Very serious case of TDS, if you cannot address a single mistake made by your candidate.
Feel free to insult all you like, if that helps you cope. Obviously the American people rejected your candidate in a landslide, as well as in the senate, house…
I suspect Trump’s crimes, mistakes and misdeeds *were* acknowledged, considered, and judged by many who voted for him; but, they concluded that when everything was taken into consideration, the alternative was worse. This election was the Democrats’…
FD1000,
I vomited after your first sentence:
"It's about going to the middle"
At a summit hosted by right-wing Moms for Liberty group last summer, Trump boasted
"I totally transformed the federal judiciary".

And 72,389,776 people… The popular vote was a landslide.
A 3% differential is usually not referred to as a landslide. But hey, whatever narrative works for you.
Kamala 67,878,826 votes
Trump 72,560,841 votes
I get 6.9%. Yes, it works for me.
…
At least the business world seems happy...
And 72,389,776 people… The popular vote was a landslide.
chang, were you able to get your vote in for Trump from your residence in Europe?
Sam Harris Podcast with Mark Cuban. Worth a listen.

The minimum initial investment for CBLDX (ER of 0.91%) at Vanguard is $5,000. Morningstar shows the minimum initial investment for CBLVX (ER of 1.16%) is $2,500. The minimum initial investment spread seems very narrow.
Yes.
Same with Patrick Soon-Shiong, the owner of The Los Angeles Times. This is the first time in a long time that the LA Times has not endorsed (a Democrat) for President.
But think about Jamie Dimon. He is head of the biggest bank in the United…

Evidently FD1000 thinks that all of this is just "fake facts".
Sure, I got it.
Trump had low inflation + high increase of real wages + the borders were tight + Putin did not attack Ukraine + the Middle East was quiet and 4 Muslim countries sign pea…
So, either gold-bullion is overvalued now, or gold-miners are undervalued. I am betting on the latter. Watch $XAU around 164 bow; its 2010-11 peak was 225+.
@yogibearbull, which ETFs do you suggest I look at for gold-miners?

@Sven, the quality of Vanguard's customer service, support, and IT folks (at least at their headquarters), appears to be lower than Schwab or Fidelity. With many colleges and universities within a 25 mile drive of Malvern (Penn, Drexel, Temple, Vill…
@Sven, you are able to talk with a Flagship rep (I assume that you have a dedicated rep) without a problem, so specifically what has not worked out well?
If DT wins, the first thing I’ll do is check this thread to see the reaction.

If DT wins, will you move back from Europe to Boston?
A reminder, just 4 years ago the Middle East was calm and 4 Arabic countries signed a peace agreement, first time since Israel became a country. All you got to do is connect the dots.
I connected the dots.

Apparently, most but not all of the initial shares are still locked up. On Aug 22, a few execs sold between 3,467 and 84,941 shares @$22.70. Not enough to move the market, but the rats may be lining up to jump ship.

Maybe this is for the better. Jean Hynes could not fill Ed Owens shoes, she seldom beat Vanguard Health Care Index and adding insult to injury, highly tax inefficient if held in a taxable account.
Often recommended limit of 5% applies to individual stocks to reduce company specific risks. So, people holding only stocks (i.e. no funds) should have a portfolio of 20+ stocks.
Must funds are diversified, so they can be held at much higher levels…
