Re: Yay PP!

Question. When someone requests to have themselves removed .... I know that removes any posts that they originate. However, I'm assuming that any replies that they made to someone else's original posts would still remain? Clive was actively deleting his own posts even before he thought of leaving (...

Unless it's a retirement account, the tax repercussions of a move like this are huge. I don't invest this way.

Re: Freedom Convoy ‘22/ Canada Trucker Protest

False flags are what leftists do. No Antifa at 1/6? Ever hear of John Sullivan? Why hasn't Ray Epps been arrested? Why is Pelosi concealing so many of the videos? Why did she and the D.C. Mayor refuse 10K National Guardsmen? Why aren't Republicans allowed to select their own members for the 1/6 Comm...

Are The Gold Miners A More Tax Friendly Investment?

With gold etfs and gold itself being taxed at the collectibles rate, is investing in the miners aka GDX or GDXJ a more investment friendly investment? They're taxed at the regular stock rates, which are considerably lower.

I got to spend a week in The penalty box.

It was on this particular thread sometime ago that I was saying things the administrator did not approve.

It's saddens me that the authorities spread panic and pseudoscience... Which has been so effective at instilling fear. Spreading panic and pseudoscience?

I had multiple pulmonary emboli but it was 8 months after receiving my 2nd shot. I have cancer too so I can't be certain of what caused the emboli.

Thanks to all those who continue to drag my name through the mud. Take a look at the wonderful PP today with stocks down 2%+ and Gold/LTT’s basically flat. Portfolio is garbage.

I, for one, enjoy reading mathjak's posts even if I don't always agree with them. I've learned from him and I hope that we have a big enough tent here not to drive him away.

Re: Electric Vehicles and Tires

I was sitting in a parking lot of a supermarket when a flatbed tow truck hauls in a Tesla that had ran out of juice. The tow truck backed the Tesla up to the charging station and the owner climbed up on the truck with the electric charger in her hand. She couldn't open the doors of her vehicle eithe...
