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.
"The real question is what happens next."
Yes. If Trump blatantly challenges the courts I can't begin to imagine what consequences might flow from that. And, given the man's obvious contempt for any base of power other than his own, I'd bet that's …
She seems to be maturing nicely/wisely. I suspect that Ms Pelosi has been patient in helping her to understand that a frontal attack is not always the best tactic.
Everyone in favor of actively promoting the continued degradation of the earth's environment and handing a crippled planet to the grandkids, raise your hands.

but...but...but... our PRESIDENT said “This will be great for the... Champagne businesses in the U.S.”
It seems to me to be very disrespectful to suggest that he doesn't have a f...ing clue about much of anything.
@PRESSmUP- What an interesting question. Not my best knowledge patch, but I'd think that maybe some state's finances will come under significant pressure due to the removal of federal support, especially if there are significant cuts in Medicare pay…
Here are edited excerpts from a statement by Senator Schumer as reported in The New York Times:
Trump and Musk Would Love a Shutdown. We Must Not Give Them One
Over the past two months, the United States has confronted a bitter truth: President Tru…
Following are excerpts from a new report by The Guardian:
In remarks on the Senate floor, Chuck Schumer, the Democratic minority leader, just indicated that he and other Democrats will vote for the continuing resolution passed by House Republicans, …
@Crash- You have to remember that when I was 20 (1959) Tanduay and San Miguel were not sold outside of the Philippines (at least, certainly not in the US). I'm sure that both have improved substantially since then,
I would think that there would be little point in continuing to buy US product if the retail price were doubled- the customer base would seriously shrink and make the whole thing impractical. I'd surmize that just using up the current stock and then…
@Mark- Same here, with respect to beer. However: In traveling through Europe I became aware of a number of beers that I really liked. After return here, the medical folks told me to knock off the alchohol... gout, kidney, and potential diabetes prob…
When I was 20 years old I was stationed for a year at an "Isolated Duty" station on Palawan Island in the Philippines. This was one of many U.S. Coast Guard stations world-wide which broadcast navigational signals used by aircraft and shipping, way …

You got it. We go up to Guerneville every Friday afternoon and stop at Andy's on the way. Have done so for years. Back to SF on Monday evening, sometimes stop at Novato Costco on the way home.
Well, I really don't know about "serious". With someone like Edmond it's hard to know if he is a complete moron who actually believes that stuff or if he is just a troll trying to start trouble. (I suppose that "all of the above is possible too.)
H…
@Mark- Yes, that's been obvious for a long time. But if Edmond thinks that he can come here and get away with that line of BS he has another think coming. Thanks, Mark- I appreciate the backup.
Yes Edmond, we all know that you didn't start the thread, and of course you are welcome to react to it. Your reaction is pretty obvious- you challenge the relevancy to investing.
OK, that's fine... can you please explain why it isn't relevant to in…
Eggs are not "eggs". They come in many grades and varieties. One store that we visit each week has at least six different types of eggs, varying on size, color, and feeding/living conditions of the laying chickens. The prices range from approximatel…
Well Edmond, why don't you just explain to us exactly why accurate weather forecasts have no investing connection to agricultural or transportation or aviation or insurance or construction or emergency financial operations.
Right Edmond- There's certainly no investing connection to agricultural or transportation or aviation or insurance or construction or emergency financial operations. How silly of me to think so.
@Edmond doesn't seem to feel that accurate weather forecasting has any consequences or impact for agricultural or transportation or aviation or insurance or construction or emergency financial operations. Maybe he thinks that all of that weather inf…
OK, here's the latest on this from The Guardian:

Ontario will suspend its 25% surcharge on exports of electricity to three US states after top American trade officia…
Well @hondo, I hope that you don't live in Hondo, Texas. The folks there are very worried that cuts in Medicaid will close down their only local hospital, leaving them with almost no local medical care facilities. Before long you are talking about r…
"Just the mention of cod liver oil takes me back to the unpleasant taste of that horrible stuff my mother must have thought we needed."
You too, h'mmm? Although I do have to say that algae capsules don't sound so great either.
