For me personally, it helped to stop thinking of Fauci as Dr Fauci and instead switch to Federal Bureaucrat Fauci.

It sounds like they were more reluctant, lesser-of-two-evils Trump supporters. We do have a "lesser of two evils" system. This response would be more appropriate when directed to the people who seem to be mistaking Trump for Jesus himself. But more broadly, maybe this is something the Jeh...

Has anyone found a site that tracks the gurus' predictions?

In the long term, it’s probably never a good time to trim AAPL. But, I’m doing it anyway, following the old ‘sell on the news’ adage. My excuse is also that I own it through index funds and Berkshire B shares. Did you write down all the reasons you wanted to trim AAPL. I do find that helpful... jus...

Thanks! Just bought a delivered paperback version for $6.36. Will read it soon after it arrives. Let us know what you think of it. O0 The whole story is just so fascinating to me. I often wonder what she's thinking right now. The way Carreyrou broke the story is a testament to the importance of inv...

One of the most troubling things in the Elizabeth Holmes story is her second child, conceived after conviction but before sentencing and used by her attorneys as a basis for her petition for remaining out of prison pending her appeal. The question of course being did she bring a child into the worl...

However there's a ray of hope. First, if that measure is per account (which is how it's described) rather than per person, then $266K is a big underestimate. No one has just one retirement account. I have 8 active accounts plus 3 that I emptied out (to try to consolidate some of this mess). I'm int...

When Hillary took her infamous fall and showed up in inch-thick prism glasses, I suspected immediately that she was in panic mode. Having worked with many high-flying, risk-taking clients in the course of my legal career, I recognized the pattern. The minute they get scared of going to prison, they...

During an interview on "60 Minutes" from September, Biden was asked about the viral photograph of top secret documents spread across the floor by the FBI following the raid of former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home. "When you saw the photograph of the top secret documents laid out ...

I voted YES to allow illegals to get driver's licenses. This one stands out as a curious one. Why wouldn't the immigration officials just be waiting at the DMV to deport them? I'm guessing that's somehow forbidden. Do you believe there should be no restrictions on immigration? Agree - curious... I ...

I think more representative is a total bond fund as far as what most use or even how a balanced fund would look In 2008 I think a lot of 401K's had PIMCO Total Return as the bond fund. Not sure if it makes much of a difference overall SPY (60%) and PIMCO Total Return (40%) comes out to -20.15% for ...

Yeah, I like the Aldi cart system. I like Aldi in general! I have been in their store exactly once. I had read about Aldi and was quite excited to be nearby so that I could finally shop there without making an extra trip. I think this was nearly 10 years ago - December 2012. I loaded up my cart wit...

I voted 4 - I supported masks at the beginning - returning your cart is just the right thing to do We have an aldi's store near us - to use a cart it is .25 - you get the .25 cents back once you return the cart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGuiCQGsYyY&t=17s Neat concept - everyone returns th...

Someone asked me about instead of giving traditional gifts for her grandchildren she instead help get them started on their investing careers. Her first one up is $250 for one of her grandchildren. What would you advise? My initial reaction would be some investment at Vanguard. But I don't know if ...

I'm applying to higher paying jobs. I spent 10 years at my last job, but after 1 year at my current job, this Biden economy has me begrudgingly interviewing again. I'm quite happy with my current position, but this inflation has me feeling like the frog slowly cooking in a pot. I’m sorry to hear it...

What kind of allocation are you considering switch to? This is a game that I love to play, because I enjoy tinkering with portfolio backtesters. I haven't done enough homework to identify a better allocation, but the basic idea I've been toying with is to drop LTTs and reallocate that piece to othe...

@GT: I am sorry to hear of your difficulties with the Treasury Direct system. However, I would not rate your credit union very highly either, based upon their lack of customer service in this instance. If it were me, I would schedule an appointment with your branch manager, inform that person of yo...

"As the cost of living soars, one lawmaker is urging the Treasury Department to remove the barriers to buying Series I bonds. Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., on Thursday voiced concerns about "red tape and outdated systems" that may be preventing investors from buying the inflation-p...

I have a random thought I would like to get the forum's opinions on. I have spent a lot of time the last 10-20 years studying stocks, investments, optimal portfolios etc. The irony was that I never made that much money or had that much in savings for it to amount to much. I was always thinking abou...

I do not belong to AAA and I'm thinking that if I joined today they may not offer me towing services that quickly upon joining? Check your auto insurance policy to see if you have roadside assistance. They will usually tow your car even if it's sitting in your driveway. We had AAA and the free tow ...
