How're everyone's investments going? Swimmingly. Have you figured out some fun new dates? Or, are you guys blasting the opening to Rush 2112 on the way to Tim Hortons for scones, and then a game of curling. Actually, that doesn’t sound so bad.

Whoah!! Almost 2300. I have the same question as the title of this thread....is this because people think the Middle East situation is spinning out of control? Or that some kind of economic apocalypse is being predicted and I just haven't noticed? Or, do we indeed have inflation, it's just not refl...

4.7 Magnitude Earthquake Rattles New York City and Beyond

I hadn't intended to change the colors, but the latest version of the "Elegance" style removed the 7 different color variations, of which "steel blue" was the one we used here. I could probably use an earlier version of the style and get our old colors back. I LOVE the new look!

Anyone else experience the earthquake centered in the New York / New Jersey area??!!! I was sitting at this table and it was wobbling. I was wondering what one of my cats was doing on the this table on the other side of the computer monitors to cause this to happen. Then I heard a noise which I agai...

New colors are nice.

There are some people & orgs whom I cannot add to a list. Some lists are also maxing out. I guess this glitch is why I abandoned lists in the past. I’ll have to retry on the desktop. I have used them extensively. I've never not been allowed to put anyone on a list. I have maxed out how many I c...

This is so useful, Vinny. Thank you!

You are welcome. Of course, I agree that it is the ONLY way to view incoming tweets on a regular basis.

I often search for certain topics and view that way. And, I look up people whom I follow but who are not in the feed for whatever reason. The way you search is an excellent use of X. You don't get people you follow because of the way the X algorithms present things to you. I don't know how many you...

Welp, I guess this means I'm signing up for a Twitter (X) account.

Be forewarned: I usually feel worse after spending time on X

That must mean you just view by your feed and do not create separate lists?

The X algorithm will get you on the feed; not on a list.

I shouldn’t use twitter as a source though it is photographic evidence. London has Ramadan street lighting and no Easter signs whatsover. That’s … weird. X is unparalleled in many ways. It will have instant information on many matters wherein if you do an internet search on them you will find nothi...

Gold, oil, cocoa prices rally
Commodity prices have generally been falling, but some have risen a lot in 2024. Here's why.

Given his age though, I think he might have a hard time getting comfortable with the complexity of the technology and the opaque aspects of crypto in general. I'm MUCH younger than Harry Browne, and I have a hard time with those things too. I don't think it's an issue of being "comfortable&quo...

Interesting property of Bitcoin is that, like other commodities, as the price rises, more miners come online because it is now profitable where it wasn’t before. Likewise, hard to access gold becomes more worthwhile to dig up. However, with Bitcoin, the miners are competing for their share of daily...

I think (note I said ‘think’ rather than the popular ‘feel’ often used by the woke) Sorry. But this use of "feel" rather than "think" predates woke by decades and decades. I've been railing against it similarly for decades, saying "I don't want to know how you feel, I want ...
