@Hank- I found this picture of a similar model on-line. Ours is also gray, except 2-tone: silver gray on top along with the darker grey shown here on the lower section, with some nice striping decals delineating the two paint color sections. It took…
@Hank- It's a very nice car indeed, the very last of the GM rear-wheel drive mid-size line, but unfortunately because of the need to transport family at the time it's a four-door sedan. No Hollywoods for that one. :)
@Ted: This time is different, right? If the relationship between "The S&P 500 index reached an all-time high last Wednesday, which helped stocks close the week and month on a positive note " and "Turkey’s woes could be just the start as record g…
@Ted: An excerpt from a current Washington Post Article:
"Turkey’s woes could be just the start as record global debt bills come due"
"Ten years after the worst financial panic since the 1930s, growing debt burdens in key developing economies are …
@MJG would have us believe that he is "surprised" when someone comments on his typical patronizing style. He specializes in acting surprised and puzzled, as if this is the first time this has been noted. Indeed, he is fond of asserting that his "sub…
Per Ted: "OK ! we get it, now its time to close this thread. There to many other subjects like , investing in general, mutual funds or ETFs that come to mind"
@Ted: Good point! Let's talk some more about baseball bats.

@MJG: Hard to disagree with that.
A current headline on an NPR story:
"Nicaragua's Embattled Government Tries To Silence Independent Media"
Question: And this is different from the situation in the United States exactly how?
"All gov't workers are severely over-compensated already. "
Only an extremely ignorant person would state that any characteristic of "all" of a very large general class of people is absolutely true or untrue. How stupidly simplistic.
That's like s…

@Ted: Perhaps directly, but evidently not through other brokers. Schwab (at least) says "available to existing shareholders".
Edit: Yes, the TRP site does say "open to new retail investors", so it's available directly, for sure.
Edit 2: Just tried…
He was a good and honest man, "on the other side of the aisle". We are sadly lacking of others of his character and bravery, on any side of any aisle. May he rest in well-deserved peace.
Jeff Sessions to Robert Mueller: "Bob, this conversation isn't happening. Do you need more men? More money? Anything I can help with? Can you hurry it up a little??"
With respect to hank's comments, for a while now I've had to grudgingly admire Jeff Sessions's difficult and honorable stand on the Mueller investigation. I was never a fan of Mr. Sessions's rather draconian views on a number of things, but he is ce…
