What if I wear a MAGA hat and a mask?
Will everyone hate me?

Blue IL is 'reviewing' CDC guidelines and figuring out how to change guidance. Why? They should just say okay we're done, but they refuse. I think they are saying they will follow the national recommendations. They are saying it, but not doing it. What is there to review? If you are 'following the ...

Supposedly gold and silver miners, as murphy said. I'm only hearing it second hand but the case was convincing. Low P/E's, paying dividends, and they are known to be volatile stocks.

The Mideast is an inferno, wouldn't have happened under DJT. Inflation is soaring. Employment is bad. Taxes are going up. Hey everybody, let's stop wearing masks!!! From their PR point of view, it doesn't even matter if it's controversial. Just so it takes the other stuff off the headline. How so? ...

What are we up to now, 10,000 different crypto coins?

They smell like tulips to me.

Sure, you could take any three year period and figure out which of the four assets had performed worst during that period, and if you take that asset out, the portfolio would have performed better. That's inevitable. I'm not sure what you're trying to say. The hard part is figuring out which asset ...

I'll try to save you a spot in Texas.

In Ontario, golfing is still prohibited. Even though the premier acknowledges that it's safe, he says well, the golfers will get together and drink, and we can't take that risk. Sucks to be a golf course owner up there, two summers in a row. Wow. Here in progressive Illinois, the courses are open to...

Cortopassi, Republicans taking out their own i.e. Cheney because she is not representing their views is not the same as Ds forcing their views on everyone else. I was once taught that you can lose money in your life and always get it back. But once you trade your principles, they're gone forever. I...

you do know you dont have to read my comments ... why do you bother ? it makes no sense to read them and complain ... my posts have a lot more informative info then your needless complaining does since you admit to reading what you dont want to read You've posted 3802 times.

Wellesley is not as tax efficient as a two fund mix using an index fund for the stocks. I’ve deferred a ton of taxes over the past 12-15 years since I switched all our taxable stock allocation into vanguard index funds.

We do use Wellesley in an IRA. Love it there.

The PP isn’t for people who check the markets and their balances every day. Sometimes I go months without knowing what the DJIA is at. The PP has done about what I had hoped, over the long run. Maybe not yesterday (so I gather), but I couldn’t care less.

But why must they pick a side on something that really has nothing to do with the product they are selling? I have never ever thought to myself "I wonder what my bank thinks about racial injustice" or "I really wish KFC would give me their thoughts on same sex marriage." Why mus...

"So to an extent, it does kind of seem to be a "corporate thing". Probably because corporations have deeper pockets, bigger targets painted on their backs, and bigger legal teams who get paid to worry about worst-case legal scenarios." this is the secondary issue. The primary is...

I grew up in a rural public school system. Haven't read Vanity Fair, never heard of it actually. so what's the troubling part of it?

Also, I think the best approach is to tell everyone that if a book makes them uncomfortable, they should sit that one out.

Bubble getting bigger. I saw someone offer crypto classes on nextdoor which is a neighbor hood social media site. That must mean all the old housewives will be trading crypto soon. The fact that people have to take classes to try to understand it, argues against its success. If you think about the ...

Yeah that's a sign of something.

One good result of crypto mania is that way more people know what fiat currency is and why it matters.

I think I know how you're achieving this "don't know anybody" thing. You've tried it here multiple times: you ask whether anybody's sick, or knows anybody who's sick, find some reason to discount whatever answers you don't like, and then bingo the result is that nobody's sick! To be clear...

I saw the news awhile back, and while still disconcerting, the key differentiator here is that the facility ran anonymous deposit boxes. I've checked out places with anonymous boxes in Las Vegas, Fort Lauderdale and Vienna and the Vegas place has been raided multiple times and since shut down. Like...

And whenever I read about a "cabal of globalists" or something similar, I remind myself just how difficult it is to get even a few people on the same page. Amen brother. I can't even get my family to agree on a restaurant choice. The best name for a restaurant chain would be “I don’t care”.

The supermarket has their sign up again, so I'm back to complying.
