Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
Well, at least you have enough cognitive left to have some dissonance. At the rate my cognitive is experiencing dissipation, pretty soon there won't be enough left to have any dissonance.

That report on the dumping of toxic waste in the Calabasas landfill was really something. One way or another we've generated so much poisonous waste that nowhere is really going to be safe as we muddle on.
From a number of sources I've read that the beef imported from Brazil is mostly "front end" cuts primarily used for ground meat here in the U.S. So this gets a little complicated... Bolsonaro is in trouble because he tried to imitate Trump, so Trum…
As Sven notes, labor shortages are very much a factor. A couple of day ago I read a report on Florida agriculture's problems due to labor shortages. One long-time strawberry farmer, (who had voted for Trump but was now afraid to have his name used b…
I ordered a small 17" step-stool about three weeks ago from Amazon.
Cost: $21.18.
I ordered another of the same item today.
Cost: $22.98.
Increase: $1.80 / 8.5%

@PopTart- Yes, both parties gerrymander. That's why I voted for California's independent redistricting commission, which I believe has worked very fairly. And now our governor wants to "temporarily" shut down the commission for five years to offset …
Yes, I think that's true on at least one level. But how do we explain how roughly one-half of the voters in this country now admire and emulate our current "leader", and those vandals who he led to attack our Capitol? Did a large number of them just…
Well, if/when the courts rule against this absurd attempt to rewrite the Constitution his plan "B" is simply to have the National Guard from Republican states take over the justice system. He's rehearsing that type of move right now.
FWIW, Wickipedia says:
A sabbatical is a rest or break from work; "an extended period of time intentionally spent on something that’s not your routine job."
I appreciate the thought but following the Bloomberg "gift links" plunks over 20 cookies on my browser and requires signing some kind of legal baloney that is many pages long. Not going to happen.
@rforno- Interesting to see American Funds EuroPacific and Washington Mutual again after all these years. We used both of them (but class A) fairly heavily when we were in our accumulation phase. American Funds was really good about allowing us to g…
You have to realize that Trump doesn't regard himself as the president of a democracy. He treats the United States of America as if the entire country is nothing more than his private company, to run and rule any damned way that he feels like. (Subj…

"Sell was for 360.107 shares totaling a little less than $3000.
Cash available $460.65."
Once in a great while I receive a similar message if there is a delay in the settle date/time for the sale.
@Sven said: "Are we approaching China’s model on private companies, state-run companies?"
I was wondering the same thing. You have to realize that Trump doesn't regard himself as the president of a democracy. He treats the United States of America…
