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.
Here's a bit of additional information excerpted from a recent article in the WSJ:
The billionaire Warren Buffett added two more big, American brands to Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s investment portfolio.
Mr. Buffett’s conglomerate has purchased $8.6 b…
Sometimes. For fifty years I've been trying to get my wife to address me as something along the lines of "lord" or "king" (not "messiah", though) and the facts have certainly countered my efforts. Then again, she's not religious either, so maybe you…
With respect to those individuals with severe preexisting conditions it seems fair to say that getting the vaccine offers much better odds than getting Covid.
I note that some information sources consider muscle soreness at site of injection (arm muscle) to be a "side effect". Since that always happens to me for a day or so with any injection I didn't even think of it as unusual. No big deal.
Don't get me started about religions. Why people need a religious/cult leader to tell them how and what to think is beyond me. Maybe the preferences section of their mind's OS doesn't have the "Prefer to think for myself" option enabled.
Perhaps be…
Here are excerpts from a disturbing report from The Washington Post.

TEL AVIV — Israel's Health Ministry said Sunday that two Israelis who had recently recovered from the coronavirus have been reinfected by the variant …
@johnN: A search of the "Up-to-date" link which you have provided shows none of the information which you have listed.
However, judging from the appearance, that information seems likely to have been derived from a reasonable source. Can you please…
Purely anecdotal, of course, but no side effects at all for my wife and me after Moderna shot #1.
There was a reported incident down in San Diego where several people had reactions immediately after inoculation. The vaccine administration was temp…
"With so many adverse effects not sure many will take c19 vacc in 2022. Many Healthcare workers report feeling very sick fevers tireness and flu symptoms after 2nd dose...takes 4 6 wks to develop immunity against c19 which may explains reinfection e…
"I wonder if it would've been different if there had been a secret ballot? "
Yes, absolutely. Those forty-three Republicans sold their souls to keep their jobs. Not many of them could find honest employment elsewhere.
@hank. Really not sure how to either accept or reply to that accolade. I surely cannot claim to have contributed significant financial advice here, with the possible exception many years ago on Fund Alarm to a new poster who was looking for help on …
Likewise- I have Hank's email address because we occasionally exchange thoughts. I've just sent him an email asking him to get in touch. He does sometimes drop out for a while, so let's hope that is the situation and that all's well with him.
@BenWP- Pointless- my mental acuity has deteriorated beyond redemption. I consider it a good day if I can remember my name. I knew it was all over when I finally had to turn on "spell check" a year ago.
Seriously though, Schwab has been playing har…
I'm a Mac person myself, but I just checked Costco for you neanderthals. They have quite an assortment of Windows 10 laptops. Here are just three, at random:

@rono- As I'm sure that you'll remember, we have a large stash of 90% silver quarters that we've been sitting on for some sixty years. This morning I said to my wife "hey, we're rich again!".
Then I observed that yes, we could in fact sell into thi…
Well, per my post above, we did receive our first Moderna Covid vaccine shots on Wednesday, as scheduled. No side effects other than a mildly sore arm the next day. So far so good.
"This should hurt anyone around here"
Knowing rono from way back I'm pretty sure that he meant to say "This should not hurt anyone around here". As a fellow "old timer" I notice that I have to be very careful to proofread two or three times what I …
