This year I obviously set and all-time record by doing the first one a few weeks ago.


Was this due to unseasonable warmth?


No. I wanted to take care of all I can before I do my vegetable garden planting.

I'm getting ready to mow the grass - first mowing of the year/season. Oh the joy begins!image.gif Last year, for a variety of reasons, I did not mow my lawn once! Partly because I just wanted to see what would happen. As far as mowing goes in general ... my saying has been ... "I'd rather be readin...

Whatever "style" you choose, whether it be growth, value, momentum, or total market, just make sure you commit to it. The best investment strategy is the one you can stick to. For certain!

Re: Occupied Land acknowledgements

When did acknowledging that your institution is on “Located on Occupied and Unceeded XYZ Ancestral Homelands” become a thing? Is it anything other than empty virtue signaling?

I looked at value funds really hard and couldn't bring myself to believe in them. I think for a value fund to continuously work it would have to be a highly active fund.

JavaScript still sucks. >:D Do you like Python? I’ve played with it a little bit. Just an amateur interest. I love Python.

Re: Trump Supporters Say The Darndest Things!!!

I wonder what percentage of politicians are genuinely concerned with telling the truth? For example the “women’s rights” dressed up mantra that allows/condones killing of a human being. Or as we once heard, you can put lipstick on a pig but it’s still a pig. https://www.factcheck.org/2024/03/factch...
