Re: Misc. U.S. Elections
Everyone here is missing who are the true masters of the US Government... and of all people, those of you who own 25% long bonds in your portfolios! The true masters are the Bond Vigilantes. Have you all forgotten UK PM Liz Truss? That was only two years ago. How quickly we forget. I think a simila...

Re: Misc. U.S. Elections
{ from the Meme thread } Let’s go with not-quite-a-landslide for Trump in 2024. But we need a word for what looks like a Republican trifecta now: the presidency, the senate and, I guess, the house of representatives. Going by memory and not doing any research ... isn't it the same thing that both O...

Re: The Meme Thread
I don’t know about desperately. They won by a landslide. My comments were made during the 2020 campaign and those rallies. What is your definition of a landslide? The range of electoral votes was in the same range as 2016 and 2020. Finally, I did an analysis today that showed that if just 1 in 41 T...

Re: The Meme Thread
Just like I pointed out how out of sync the music was at their rallies with their overall messages ... they desperately need you for things like this!

Re: Stock scream room
Can we even put the tariffs on the Promise list, though? More like a Threat list, as the president-elect has openly said he doesn’t necessarily intend to follow through on those. Although he probably has also said he will on other occasions. Hard to know which parts to take seriously. Somewhat fall...

Re: Health Care Reform
I live in a rural area where it is supposed to be even more difficult to get medical care. … I was shocked last month when I was calling for an MRI appointment … I was asked if I wanted to get one … Less than 2 days away. The wife will be jealous, Vin. She got an MRI quickly, but I think you have h...

Re: Stock scream room
We shall see if it will be "Promises Made, Promises Kept."
I'm certain somewhere has a record of what percent of those made for the first term were kept?

Anyone here had any problems lately with the healthcare system? I should mention it’s too early to tell if caleb is a bot. Nothing personal O0 Just too early to tell.

Re: Health Care Reform
I have not. I'm always amazed at how caring and angelic all the people are who attend to my needs when they arise.
Also, when you are Medicare supplemented by a Medigap plan ... the whole thing is way easier.

Re: I'm Officially A Bitcoin Maximalist
What happened to the All Terrain Portfolio??!!! Wasn't there supposed to be a book on the way supporting it??!! Yeah, I'm still all for highly diversified investing, but I think that type of portfolio is best for the decumulation stage of one's investing lifetime. I'm just not quite there yet. For ...

Re: I'm Officially A Bitcoin Maximalist
Hey all. So, at least for now, my investment journey has come full circle. I'm officially a Bitcoin Maximalist (Maxi). I've gone down a rabbit hole starting about a year ago till now. I will likely be switching back to more of a PP or risk parity type of investment approach once I've finished accum...

Re: The GOLD scream room
I think we have a buyable dip in gold. The medium and long term prospect is more US debt, tariffs causing inflation, jawboning the short term interest rates down (or pushing Powell out and getting an inflation dove in who will tend to lower rates), all of this means a financial repression regime......

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
Also, my only hold up was waiting for the person before me to be given a ballot.
A friend was the person checking me and giving me the ballot. Here I just have to give my name and street address. They find you and check you off.
I've never once encountered any form of wait or line.

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
Voted Democrat for president / congress. Could not vote for Warren or Republican for Senator so no vote.
All the other votes were one person races, all Democrats.
On principal I almost never vote in those. That was the case this time. So, only two votes plus voting for the 5 ballot questions.

Re: iBonds / TreasuryDirect
Nice! Long, long, long time ago I used to buy futures contracts .. first in Belgian francs and then in Euros. It was to protect the company. The president and I agreed that half the time we were happy we'd purchased them and half the time we wish we had not. One of the time's that we did was for $1...

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.
