Dems=great. GOP=Terrible. Until the next election we will see daily articles like thism
The only problem is that great Dems used to be Kennedy and Clinton. Something to ponder.
Instead of posting this poppycock, as difficult as it is f…
I have used 2FA with Vanguard for as long as I can remember, both receiving a call and a text. Ionically, it has been one of the few technologies that has worked all the time.
This world doesn't need another MAGA site.
Chang (and BS1000) feel the need to stop by and spread their fertilizer every now and then, but most of us have no desire to stick our noses into their swampy stinkhole of a website.

Over on the Big Bang forum there is a cadre of folks who "... fail to grasp the controversy about Elon Musk" (their own words), have no concept of false equivalence, and insist Trump is honest because he is keeping his campaign promises. If you wan…
It's hilarious seeing a superdunce like hondo call Biden and Harris dunces. Their administration produced the best economic recovery from the pandemic in the entire world. And calling Dump and Musk "honest" is a howler. How ignorant and out of touch…
I hold a big chunk of VDIGX. The long time mgr moved off the fund a year go though still with the organization. It seems to even underperform VIG - a passive ETF with similar strategy. Getting frustrated with it. VEIPX also had a mgr change but …
"Trump's plan is to build his hotels in Gaza and have the US military do the work for him."
Here I was thinking that he would just hire contractors and laborers and then just not pay them which is his usual SOP.
Bingo!
Since October 7, Palestinian…
I own Baird Strategic Municipal Bond BSNIX (current duration 4.28 year) as well as Vanguard Intermediate-Term Tax-Exempt VWIUX (current duration 5.6 years). In the past, I have used them for tax-loss harvesting and currently have a much larger posit…
You guys are running a sit com. Ya I just added a couple of zeros to make someone chase their tail. $630m is about $20b today. Ok the US (contractor) lost 22-30,000 workers. I saw when googled “ Estimates of the number of people who died building th…
The 10% on China announced yesterday are on top of the Tariffs already in place. For an apples to apples comparison, are the Tariffs lower on Chinese products than on border countries' products? Another way to look at it is, total $ Tariffs impos…
@hondo, nope, the majority of American people did not vote for Trump. But, just as I understand that a trump supporter would blame the fires in LA on LGBTQ and the plane crash on DEI, I understand why a trump supporter would say that the majority of…
The usual TDS.
You mention Trump, and you get 10 "great" posts within an hour.
...and of course you have to open new threads on the investment forum :-)
FD1000, thank you for dropping in.
Let's talk about your personal daily activities. Based on th…
Deportation agreement! How much per head is this costing the tax payer?
Far less than one single life taken by one of them!
Gary1952,
How about the 64 people that died on American Eagle 5342 on trump's watch?
On trump's second day, he:

Never Mind …
Best post in another TDS thread.
Let me guess the next 4 years...same old stuff.
And now the Dems scream about inflation...mmm...where were you when inflation hit the ceiling?
Former White House ethics lawyer: Trump actions ‘pushing …
Anyone who supports Trump has to answer a simple question for me. How could he pardon people convicted by honest juries of seditious conspiracy to overthrow the US government only a few minutes after taking an oath to “preserve, protect and defend …
@FD1000
@hondo
Trump received 77,301,997 votes
Harris received 75,017,626 votes
Yes, there are a whole bunch of very concerned people, including countless Republicans, and growing by the day.
@yogibearbull, "However, somethings where Biden used Executive Orders were reversed by Trump's Executive Orders - some ACA expansions, drug-pricing model trials, $2 cap on copays for generics for chronic conditions, etc."
What possibly could be the…
@hank "And if you posted all your trades in advance instead of after you’ve made a reported small fortune on them maybe more here would believe you."
This is the same credibility issue that he faces on other sites. One would think that it is easily…
It's the grift of all time... and no way SEC or other entities would go after him unlike so many other meme coins that bilked people out millions. This will be a targeted, efficient corruption machine this time around. No adults in the room, only cr…
Yes, disgusting and terribly expected. His interest in political power has always and will always be driven personal profit. "The dollar his god; how to make it his religion."
@BaluBalu, Medicare Advantage PPO plans allow you to go to any primary care or specialist without needing a referral from a primary care physician, so long as the physician is in the plans network. Medicare Advantage plans premiums do not differ bas…
Is TRAIX downgraded to PRWCX if the balance falls below the TRAIX minimum?
(Vanguard downgrades Vanguard funds from Admiral shares to investor class but many other fund families I dealt with do not downgrade the institutional class for fall in bala…
@Crash, you should be able to convert your PRWCX into TRAIX ( for the lower ER of 13 basis points). I think TRAIX is available on TRP platform only. Many do not like the TRP platform and do not want to move their PRWCX to TRP even if they meet the…
We know that Trump is all about payback.
