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.
No, you didn't. There are very well written and comprehensive articles in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal. But some expenditure is involved to access those sites.
The multi-discipline team approach has always been the norm at American Funds, where in our earlier risk-taking days we did very well. That concept always did appeal to me, particularly after reading so many posts here on MFO about other "star-manag…
Exactly. But Jack Smith's team #2 is putting together another case re the Jan 6th insurrection. That's going to take place in DC, whose jury pool might see things a bit differently. And, perking away in the background, is prosecutor Fani Willis, in …
Boneheadedness? Yeah, count me in too. Too many stupid things to even remember. I imagine all of us (with the possible exception of FD) have done dumb stuff from time to time.
Hard to know, but I would imagine that Judge Cannon is going to be very sensitive to not create the appearance of any favoritism after her rather severe slap-down by the conservative 11th Circuit appeals court the last time she was involved with Tru…
@dtconroe- You've provided an interesting background regarding FD. Always (well, usually, anyway) two or more sides to a situation. Thanks for the info.
So we've come to this: let's allow a couple of self-important brats to shut down entire threads by tolerating their ill-tempered juvenile behavior, which they have imported to MFO from other financial sites that banned them.
How about dealing with …
And here's another report on this from NPR:
Michigan's attorney general charges 16 people in fake elector scheme
Michigan's attorney general has announced charges against 16 people for serving as so-called fake electors following the 2020 president…
It's "difficult" because it's essentially the same thing as tolerating a few louts screaming and interrupting an otherwise calm and civil meeting just because they feel entitled to do that.
That conduct is similar to what we've now come to see …
Perhaps more useful might be "Studies of the Influence of Alien Presence on the Variations Seen in the Republican Party since the election of Donald Trump".
The takeover of certain Republican bodies by aliens might reveal the real reasons for the c…
Not a day goes by that 'm not thankful that I'm as old as I am and won't have to deal with the wonderful new world that's being created. My 2009 Toyota pickup will just have to make it to the end. $42,000 repair- how long does anyone think that insu…
Yes, very sad. In 1970 I happened to be introduced to Fritz Maytag- a very nice fellow. I figured Anchor was a goner when bought by Sapporo. Sure not much left of the SF that I grew up in.
"Chances are excellent I don't know what I'm talking about."
@sfnative- I really can't agree with that. The chances are excellent that you are absolutely right.
"I read every columnist mentioned here when I was a kid. I'm not sure why they appeal…
Absolutely. If I remember correctly it was Delaplane who referred to blood-pressure machines as "the Judas cuff". I've been fighting high BP for quite a while now, and think of that every time I take a reading. My doctor is only mildly amused.
@WABAC- Yes, we used to eat there fairly often. It's long gone, but there are still a couple of good "Original" Joe's in SF.
If you enjoyed Arthur Hoppe's old column in the Chomical you should also enjoy an occasional "column" from his son, Nick Ho…
@Anna- thanks for that reminder. Even as a teenager I loved Asimov.
By the way, Nanette Asimov, niece of Isaac Asimov, writes occasionally for the SF Chronicle. Her articles remind me of "the old days", when the Chronicle was a real newspaper, rath…
