HOW TO ENSURE A NONPROFIT IS ACTUALLY MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR MONEY

First one I let roam around the house until I discovered that it loved to chew on all the wires on the floors in my living room! Yeah...they are fun to have around the house but destructive little beasts! I used to volunteer at their OG shelter in Richmond California when I lived in the Bay Area. F...

@Vinny, wasn’t Prime commercial paper?

I believe so. I was in it for decades and moved out of it once I wanted my money market funds to be as much Treasury as possible.

Is Prime no longer?

The Cranberries - Dreams (live 1994 London) :D :D :D A local band I've seen many times (and have taken innumerable pictures of) used to have two excellent female singers. They did this song. Thought their version was better than what I saw in the above. You can be the judge. This is them doing the ...

Everyone should be familiar with the phrase in the subject line. My question is, for the purposes of financial planning, how do you estimate your future investment returns? Say you’ve identified an asset allocation that has returned an average of 10% nominal over the last 50 years ( std dev 8.8 ). ...

You made me smile as you listed off the first three books on my financial shelf: Fail-Safe Investing, Work Less, Live More and Your Money or Your Life.

I bet there are a lot of copies of those books in the homes of members of this board!

I have all three books.

LEXCX holds a sizeable proportion in Union Pacific, and some Berkshire Hathaway stock. Initial equal weight not rebalanced will tend to end up like that, more average weighting in the stock(s) that did well. Rebalancing has a tendency to reduce the concentration risk, whilst still tending to achiev...

I just finished giving it a listen.

Over a decade ago, Tex said he nominated Craig as “the most level-headed person on the Internet”.

I think we now need to pass that torch onto Tyler.

I think that I could give a vote to your candidate!

I had 100% confidence you'd get that!

I just picked it semi-randomly. I was going to say New England, but I didn’t mean a Cliff Claven Boston accent or a Fred Gwynne in a Stephen King movie in Maine accent. So I went with one that most people probably aren’t familiar with. When I grew up in Rhode Island there was a heavy Italian presen...

I just listened from beginning to end. What a pleasure to hear. I feel like the interviewer knows your material well and did his homework before the session, i.e. there were no lazy questions. The Shannon’s Demon thing made me think of something I always want to ask: There are a lot of people who s...

You have that one correct!

And, I thought I HAD left enough food in their food dish last night about midnight. But one of them reminded by claws to my face to wake me up at 3:30 AM that I had not left enough food in their dish!

Cash investors should consider taxation as well as inflation. I-bonds have superior tax treatment compared to TIPS: I-bonds come with 30 years tax deferral, interest compounded semi-annually. TIPS do not. I-bonds create extra tax deferred space. TIPS in tax-advantage accounts take up that space. I-...

You can get a sitter. Just hide the jars first.

They'd also have to take on watering the 200+ vegetable garden plants for 45 minutes each morning.

Thanks for posting that conversation, Hal. Very interesting as it deals with reality and not drama. And, to channel my inner Vinny, I may watch it again at some point. Thanks for the homage. However, to do it correctly you have to start listening to it again as soon as you finished listening to it ...
