I don’t want to read about you having to mortgage your home.

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...

Had NOT noticed that!
The time should have been set at 4:06 as 46 is between 45 and 47. 😉
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...

Right, and ditto for the mass deportations.
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?

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.

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.

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.
