From an investment standpoint there is a growing and sometimes lucrative market for litigation funding. While currently restricted to accredited investors, this article explains how average retail investors can also get a piece of the pie.

Yuppers @BenWP. It’s the technical stuff that makes it so appealing (to me) for a late night listen. Not something I would wade through in print in the daylight hours. Personally, I leave some type of audio running all night long - perhaps hoping…
PRWCX down in my portfolio on Friday, today. All others up. ….. Funds best ytd: PRFDX worst: PRCPX (junk, barely below the zero-line.)
PRWCX only fell .26% Friday. But TCAF fell .76%. Still, it represents just 1 day. Nothing more.

Sold all of recently accumulated spec position in NSRGY at above $104. Goes ex-dividend Monday ($3.41 p/s). Will probably buy it back Monday after price falls. Might solve 2 issues (1) a 45-day wait for dividend to be paid out and (2) a 10% foreig…

I’m a New Yorker subscriber and have the lengthy article you linked “in tow”. Quick scan very impressive. I believe I’ve convinced my IPad Air to begin reading it to me when I hit the pillow tonight. Actually, it’s more of a book than…

There were some possibilities had they been able to go outside and examine the status of the wing. The first couple are covered in the documentary.

Can each of you please send me your mailing address so I can send each of you a free Trumpinator Bobble Head to put on your bookshelf.

No Tump Bobble-Head! Thank you. But I’ll take a Stormy Daniels one if you got any.
yes. i recall the Frontline thing. Compelling. Breathtaking arrogance by decision makers, not wanting to hear from engineers and the others. Remember Morton-Thiokol? (Spelling?) I think they are no more. All about O-rings.
Umm … Those O-Rings were i…
Yep. Nothing new for sure. And Frontline’s a better source. 2003’s more than 20 year’s ago. The investigative reports were published a year or two later. I just found it a fascinating / entertaining look back …. Good to see CNN trying to clean up…

@hank, that is stale quote for PRWCX from yesterday. Many sites are still showing stale info from 4/11/24 (Yahoo Finance, MarketWatch, etc). Probably will fix in the next update of the evening.
But Price website, M*, etc are showing the correct inf…
Medallion Guarantees.....
Those are very tough to obtain. More so in recent rears years. Apparently some financial institutions have been scammed after granting them to fraudsters - and held accountable for millions.

More storms like today will certainly give the long-anticipated buying opportunity.
Yes. True. But I’m beginning to think Geroux really does walk on water. PRWCX gained .23% today, unless my tracker is flawed.
Ahh … Just one day. But most ev…
NBC is airing an hour long “special” on the OJ trial at 10:00 tonight. Suspect that’s just the beginning of weeks of sensational warmed-over OJ coverage across the networks …

Bought 2 additional shares of NSRGY at under $103. Put in order to sell a bit of PRPFX as gold rush continues unabated. Added to a minuscule basket of (ProShares) short / inverse ETFs (around 1% of portfolio). Trying to bolster cash position tha…

Sorry to hear that Mike. I neglected to buy the special viewing glasses before everybody sold out. Rode the bike about 90 minutes during the eclipse - same as some years earlier. You’re not supposed to look with regular sun-specs. But I dared a …

Thanks for the feedback @Crash. Nice that you got that charge back. I had some kind of similar issue and TRP did not refund the charge. But I was happy just to get out of there! (Kinda like when I left the X.)

If you like hearing Ray Dalio you’ll enjoy the first segment (April 5). Never at a loss for words. Includes a clip of Dalio being interviewed on the original WSW in the 80s about the Mexican Peso crisis. Also features some clips of Congressional…
Entertaining and educational reading as @Crash confronts new challenges at Schwab. Been there. Done that. Deeply indebted for all the support received here when I migrated from TRP’s in-house funds to Fido a few years back.

Very interesting. The stated rationale sounds odd as you can buy stocks without paying a fee. I use Pro-Shares in very small quantities to short various markets time to time. But looks like they’re a bigger fish and not affected by this.

Bought 10 shares of NSRGY @ under $105 and 24 bottles of S. Pellegrino.
@Crash. I’d like to echo @Old_Joe’s congrats on maintaining this enjoyable thread.
Thanks for commenting @Crash. The SNL cold open featuring a Bible peddling Donald Trump was certainly timely. I didn’t personally feel it was particularly well staged by SNL standards. Really miss Alec Baldwin in that role. But he’s entangled …
5.75 years is far too short a time frame to characterize your investment prowess. (If it will make you feel any better, famed investor John Hussman has managed an annualized return of 0.09% over the past 5 years with his flagship fund, HSGFX, ac…
Mike - Thanks for chiming in. If you click on Yogi’s link to Barron’s you’ll see that the bright red cover photo would appear to lean Pro-Trump - or am I reading too much into it?
I can relate to your angst. I subscribe to the WSJ - but simply ig…
