He didn't have to. The issue was settled thousands of years earlier in Exodus 20: Thou shall not kill.

Re: Socialism - Should we be worried

I am not a worrier by nature, but lately I too have been concerned about creeping socialism.

Re: Media Bias

Per the visualization:
  • Many news organizations labeled as 'right' are judged to be in the 'red' zone - misleading/inaccurate information.
  • Only one organization labeled as 'left' is judged to be in the 'red' zone - misleading/inaccurate information.

Re: If Hilter Were Alive in 2021...

Not sure what is driving your 'poll'.

The Tea Party's core values were:
Free markets
Fiscal responsibility
Constitutionally limited government

The Republican Party was founded with the primary goal to abolish slavery; the Republican Party's commitment to freedom for all remains to this day.

So a nefarious entity can disrupt computer systems operations at a major private oil pipeline, and a disruption to public voting computer systems is inconceivable?

Recommendations?: Dividend Funds/Swiss Funds.

For my variable portfolio I am thinking of making new investments into a dividend fund and a Swiss fund (fund that invests in Swiss companies).

Just checking to see if anyone has any recommendations.

Thanks!

Re: Trying to make sense of PRPFX performance

Does PRPFX still hold a lot of real estate? That got hit pretty hard. Looks like PRPFX has a target of 15% for Real Estate/Natural Resources. As of 12/31/2019 looks like they were over allocated a bit. From the PRPFX website: https://res.cloudinary.com/dtoevk0jc/image/upload/v1585530333/PermPortPng...
