Re: The Peter Schiff portfolio: an evolutionary offshoot of the PP
Regardless, if you look at reviews you can see some really sad stories about how people have lost all of their savings thanks to his stock picks (many were gold miners) over the past 10 years. I remember reading recently about how one person couldn’t even afford to bury their child after Schiff’s b...

Re: Tech Help Needed
I always see big news like the French government is switching to Ubuntu, Vicenza is going to use Zorin, blah blah, and then they give up and quietly crawl back to Windows so they can use their printers again. Tiger head, snake tail, as the Chinese say. Printers were a big stumbling block a few year...

Re: Tech Help Needed
That made me laugh ... and fondly remember driving a 1958 MGA - when I was a young tinkerer, way before Linux. O0 I only play around with Linux on a 10 year old PC and always with the Linux OS on a USB stick. I left Windows at the XP version for the most part, I still have a windows machine for a f...

Re: Will Trump be Re-elected?
What are the stats on resignations, I wonder. Cabinet level or in total? Cabinet Level confirmed and resigned = 12 I wonder when you talk talent, could the issue also be that Trump has not been in Politics all his life? The Political machine members that Trump has/had may not be use to his type of ...

Re: Tech Help Needed
Darn. The two posts above illustrate while I’ll never have a linux or bsd box as my primary computer. A tinkerer can. A mechanic can have a British car at home. I can do neither. That made me laugh ... and fondly remember driving a 1958 MGA - when I was a young tinkerer, way before Linux. O0 I only...

Re: Will Trump be Re-elected?
I think a huge difference between Trump and all other Republican Presidents in my time is his inability to attract and retain good talent. To me that’s telling. Just 2 years and 158 days later. 135 No nominee 11 Awaiting nomination 115 Formally nominated 459 Confirmed https://www.washingtonpost.com...

Re: Chrome has become surveillance software. It’s time to switch browsers.
I have been using Opera for several years. Faster, lighter weight and based on Chromium so it feels similar to Chrome. You can even install Chrome extensions after installing an add-on. Also has a built-in, free VPN. I was using opera on my tablet until I had issues with Opera Loading. Then I found...

Re: Tech Help Needed
Yeah, give it a shot. Zorin was very smooth even years ago, and that’s coming from a beginner. I’m hoping to get my folks into it for their secondary computers. Tried out Zorin on a Pen Drive, Looks nice. The only difficulty I had was the computer froze, and the mouse would move but would not click...

Re: The Left is Eating Itself Pt. II
Because of an "Instagram user?" Come on guys you're really reaching now. Not really. Bitter contempt for the rich is widespread on the Left. It doesn’t even matter if you made your money honestly. You’re a robber baron and deserve the business end of a pitchfork. It’s not one instagram us...

Re: Immediate 5% across-the-board Mexican tariffs
Now we hear everything Mexico agreed to was already in negotiation and in the pipeline for a long while. Which makes the entire last week just a stunt. I just can't stop thinking... "he's trying to manufacture dips to buy". And doing very well. Well then Mexico could have implemented any ...

Re: Immediate 5% across-the-board Mexican tariffs
It is very frustrating when your hands are tied and the market is going against you.. Before I retired, very recently, I was selling company stock down to zero percent of my 401 and rolled it to a interest only fund. I had seen many other employees before me that had kept company stock and were not ...

Re: Immediate 5% across-the-board Mexican tariffs
By "not that long ago" I really mean just 3-4 years ago, prior to Trump. My how times have changed. This new "conservative" view does not make any sense to me, to me it goes against every "conservative" fundamental I've ever known, and I do not support it one bit. I am...

Re: Immediate 5% across-the-board Mexican tariffs
Ok this is what I think is happening. Trump is wanting the Fed to cut rates,he has tweeted as much. He wants the market/economy to look good before the next elections (window dressing).So to get that Liquidity injected into the system to raise the markets, he is trying to in a round about way force...
