@DrVenture- Well, I'd suggest that you begin to taper off some, transferring what seems reasonable to you to more protected areas, but I think that you're quite a ways from the total exit point.
"Lastly, it’s pretty obvious you’re not here to talk about investing, because most of your posts focus on politics while the main purpose of this site is investing."
Let me explain: Well @FD1000, I can't talk much about investing at this time becau…
You must have missed this part-
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.
Do you suppose that YOUR commentaries might have anything to do …
"Biden was in obvious decline, yet I never heard any Democrats call for his removal or even acknowledge it while he was serving."
I guess that you missed me on that...
'It's not his tune, anyway. He's not smart enough; others in his White House Crime Syndicate are behind "his" decisions."
That's exactly what I think too.
Circumstances thankfully prevent me from emulating Mark, but I do mow our rather large back yard. It isn't really an official "lawn"- just what grows there naturally and is usually pretty green. I see an occasional grass snake, so maybe it's grass?
I learned the little that I know about such things driving up to Yosemite. For many years we took weekends there in the early spring and the late fall, and a number of times there was a pretty decent amount of snow on the highways up there.

@FD1000: Evidently it will come as a surprise to you that I am very familiar with everything on your list. I am an avid absorber of news and history.
So what? Are you suggesting that because those things are true it gives your president Trump the r…
It seems that there are Waymo cars everywhere in SF... just tons of them. And I watch them closely when near one, trying to evaluate how they handle themselves in heavy traffic, and especially in quickly developing unanticipated situations- other dr…
@Crash- There's possibly a misunderstanding here of the actual sequence of events:
Up until 2019 there had evidently been no problems due to solar radiation, so the 2019 software installation had no protection against that.
There were two corrupt…
Following are excerpts from a report by Safe Fly Aviation. It would seem to be definitive.
⚡ Key Facts at a Glance
Aircraft Affected: 5,900–6,200 Airbus A320ceo and A320neo variants
Root Cause: ELAC L104 software vulnerability to solar parti…
You can bet that there were reasons, at least in the assassin's mind, why this took place. But we'll never know the truth about the background on this.
The reports that I read on this indicated that the auto-pilot software could be degraded with long exposure to solar radiation. Evidently this caused a number of incidents involving sudden and unexpected in-flight control issues.
As I understand it…
" It is refreshing to have an established bond analyst to discuss the process of exploring various sectors of bonds and their inefficiencies."
But I don't see why we need an "established bond analyst" when we already have FD1000.
Just wondering: Why would a main Spanish newspaper of record have any interest in a "propaganda" article supposedly promoting sympathy for Trump? I check this news source frequently, and they are certainly not fans or supporters of Trump or his work…
Yes, exactly.
It seems to me that many of the founders of the United States were somehow able to bifurcate their minds: to be able to think all of the majestic philosophical thoughts about freedom for the new country that they were building, and at…
