Re: BTC in the PP
I have a hard time fathoming who is making the bid at 84K.

Re: Stock scream room
The election was not simply about Trump. The result will never make sense to anyone that continues to frame it that way. Care to share your analysis? Almost any half decent R candidate would have won. Harris was arguably the worst presidential candidate in modern times. And most of what she represe...

Re: Health Care Reform
I'll take a crack at it. As a traditionally agrarian society, urban southerners retain more rural traditions than urban northerners, whose ancestors were manufacturing in big cities much earlier. I think it’s more about ancestry. The Scandinavians, Dutch, Germans were more self-sufficient, introver...

Re: Stock scream room
You have put a lot more thought into this than I have, but I agree with your conclusion. It’s not a bubble, but it has been a one way trade for too long. There is a lot of stupid money bidding up the prices of big ticket items, and a lot of debt. It’s time. I just can't help but think that stocks (a...

I haven't tried just deleting all history. That seems extreme.

Re: YouTube Junkie
I've read none of this thread, ever. :) I feel like I spend enough time on YouTube as it is. But I have a question. Does anyone else feel that their YT feed has really gone to hell in the past several months? Like this: If I happen to watch a video about someone who found an old car in a barn, then ...

Re: The Very Real Scenario Where Trump Loses and Takes Power Anyway
If the topic is migrating to COVID, I've had some breathing issues that started after both vaccination three years ago and having had COVID two years ago. I've had a flare up and was at the pulmonologist yesterday. I asked him if there was any merit to my thought that maybe it was from COVID. He sai...

Re: 1031 exchange EFT -> Bullion
But I think there are still "in kind" distributions allowed. However I don't know of any EFT that will distribute gold to you. Unless you are a market maker for the fund.

Re: Fidelity Investments having issues
Isn't Schwab reportedly struggling? I have very limited experience with them but one thing that stood out was that they try to keep you cash in a "cash" status rather than in a low cost money market fund. It seemed I would have to move money from cash to a money market fund every time some...

Re: Fidelity Investments having issues
That's very interesting. We have stuck with VG through thick and thin, even as many people were saying on Bogleheads that they were giving up and moving to Fidelity. VG has definitely struggled to keep up with its growth, but I've never felt anything like what you posted there.

Re: Study calls for US taxation of cryptocurrency
I wonder what percentage of crypto, or bitcoin specifically, is held in "accounts" versus directly by the owner. I would think the accounts would be easily subject to taxation.

Study calls for US taxation of cryptocurrency
I know the Fed wonks issue all kinds of studies. And that a lot of it is just brainstorming which might not amount to anything actually being done. This one is interesting. The actual report is way too deep for me, but what I get out of it is that they are saying, "here's how we can have perman...

But as you point out, an 80% phone charge will inconvenience you if you are out and about all day. I would not let the battery longevity tail wag the dog.
