SLVR up 4.82% !
After rono posted a number of weeks ago I bought 30 shares just for the hell of it. It gets really boring with everything in CDs, Treasuries, and MMKTs.
So far ahead $326 on SLVR, and $272 on SILJ. Both have been up and down- fun …
Following are excerpts from a current report in The New York Times:
More than 250 people who were exposed to measles, including dozens of school-aged children, are quarantining in South Carolina as the state wrestles to contain an outbreak that has …
Really nice to see IBM surviving from punchcards to quantum bits. When I was an air traffic controller back in the early 70's we were still using IBM punchcards.
Here's a good one for FullyDelusional1000- another triumph for those who do the work.
The Trump administration is proposing to almost double what’s considered safe exposure levels to formaldehyde, a cancer-causing chemical found in many consumer pro…
"Does that mean that I can leave all my non-pension and non-entitlement income out of my tax return this year?"
Yes, if you forward 25% to FD1000's "president".
I have done something that no other MFO poster has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including FD1000, and I …
Yes, there's been a fair amount of that sort of thing. Local retirement facilities are bought by large national chains, stripped of anything worth stealing, and sent into bankruptcy. The folks who had paid very large entrance fees? Too bad Mary- out…
We had a similar situation here in SF. For many years we had KSFO, a relatively low-powered AM station which had a wonderful spread of music , news, Giants baseball and SF 49ers broadcasts. The station was owned by Gene Autry, and he pretty much gav…
Actually, Trump may deserve at least part of the Nobel prize (a semi Nobel?) for having "done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations". He has succeeded in driving most of the European nations closer together in their reaction to hi…
She was a fantastic woman, and I admired her greatly from the first day that I heard about her. Same with Admiral Rickover. Two intellectual giants of the US Navy.
Trump and Hesgeth would likely have fired both of them for being a lot smarter than …
Following are excerpts from a current report in The Guardian:
Trump had two mortgages he claimed were primary dwellings, records show
President did same thing his administration is now calling ‘mortgage fraud’ in case against Fed governor Lisa Coo…
@hank- If you do, please let me know too. Many years ago I used Google for searches, but I've never used gmail, and I still get pop-ups from many sources asking me to "sign in to your Google account". Like you I use Firefox, but I don't know if that…
Can you ban kids from social media? Australia is about to, but some teens are a step ahead
Following are excerpts from a current report at Yahoo.com:
It took 13-year-old Isobel less than five minutes to outsmart Australia's "world-leading" social m…
Yes. I've never been fond of Mr. Summers, but I agree with you on that. The AEA action seems more in line with what I'd expect from our "president", and we certainly don't need any more like him.
Say, take a look at that sucker!
Look at all those greedy hands grasping for anything and everything on earth that isn't nailed down. Wow... whoever designed that sure knows Trump and his bunch!!
I feel that it's just a little unrealistic of you to expect FD1000's "president" to consider second and third order consequences of his tariff wet dreams.
it's a bit odd that you haven't noticed that not one other person on this board consistently triggers the type of responses that you complain about.
It's just possible that YOUR obnoxious commentaries might be causing that.
By the way- is the a…
It may be time but who is willing to do it?
Section 4: Involuntary Transfer of Power
• If the vice president and a majority of the cabinet declare that the president is unable to perform their duties, the vice president can assume the powers of the…
Is Próspera the new Gaza strip paradise for disgruntled billionaires?
No, it's what Trump is proposing to rename the United States. Of course he'll also have to rename the Gulf of America to the "Gulf of Próspera", and his magnificent new ballroom…
