I thought the "d" in "Covid" stood for "disease". Isn't Covid-19 the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus?

As much as I generally agree with GOP priorities over Dem ones, and with the idea of a government that spends less, i have to agree with D1984 that the current standoff is the GOP's fault and they should back down. The time to take a stand for less spending is when the spending statutes are being de...

Vinny, did you take your meds today?

The real fix is for funds to not have voting rights; the voting rights should belong to whoever's money it actually is. Is there any progress on that front?

The measure of trust for a random site is whether or not it's mentioned on Wikipedia? Not totally. More of a sign that if some negative information about it is on Wikipedia then one should probably use the web site with caution. So... Any site that doesn't have negative information about it on Wiki...

Similarly I question whether there has been a trend over the past 2-3 decades of the Supreme Court ... also prioritizing special interests over public interests.

Examples?

I didn't see it just now. Using a real search engine with a site filter is probably going to work better anyway, though.

Was it written by AI? I'd rate it extremely unlikely. You can go there and judge for yourself but I don't think AI is capable of creating a list of 50+ investing books to read broken down into four categories. All in all a highly impressive web site, packed with useful information. Sounds like exac...

Does anybody know of a calculator to assist with selling I-Bonds? On the TD page it shows me the date each was issued, and the interest rate it's currently earning. It isn't clear how that interacts with the 3-month interest rate penalty, nor does it tell me what the composite vs fixed rate is for t...

In his latest Tipswatch article, David Enna notes that on May 7th Treasury Direct will finally make a change to its clunky keyboard, so hopefully that aspect of the user experience will be improved. The keyboard is clunky. It does its job of preventing the site from being vulnerable to keyloggers. ...

What is the highest probability anyone here would assign to a U.S. Treasuries default?

I think the odds are virtually zero that people holding Treasuries will see any impact. Could be wrong.

I'll just make my annual plug for Free File Fillable Forms here. It's just like the paper forms except it does most of the math for you and you file electronically. But you're working directly with the real forms, instead of somebody else's layer of forms/questions layered on top of the real forms....

You might be able to get a directive to not feed you, then when you start starving/dehydrating, be put into hospice (morphine drip). Hideous. Maybe I should get that Wingsuit. Yes, advance directives are very important and you should get that done. Make it as specific as you can, because many of th...

Heartbreakingly tragic.

It's absurd that Julian Assange is still being targeted by the US government, while the source of his information, Bradley (now Chelsea) Manning, is living free. Manning indiscriminately leaked information that had no reason to be released. A personal example; I was deployed to Afghanistan at the t...

Docking, your criticism could be more constructive and less personal. Mathjak, please don't take the bait, it just makes things worse. Reluctantly locking the thread.

It reminds me of that interview we've linked here several times with the guy whose name escapes me who invests in small businesses that do unique things.

Is this the interview you were thinking of?

glennds, am I correct that it's your position that the bad publicity of this kind of thing and the threat of lawsuits keeps it from being a big deal?
