...Ketchup on the news... I'd much prefer my President using a bully pulpit, over cutesy giggly prose such as 'Hot dog...something we can all relish'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bully_pulpit Besides no more bully pulpit (mean tweets), is the purpose of this thread to show that the 'Biden Plan' w...

Not sure what is driving your 'poll'.

The Tea Party's core values were:
Free markets
Fiscal responsibility
Constitutionally limited government

The Republican Party was founded with the primary goal to abolish slavery; the Republican Party's commitment to freedom for all remains to this day.

How many millions did Christians slaughter in the name of Christ during the Crusades? Maybe churches being closed wouldn’t be the worst thing. "If the Tiber reaches the walls, if the Nile does not rise to the fields, if the sky doesn’t move or the earth does, if there is famine, if there is pl...

So a nefarious entity can disrupt computer systems operations at a major private oil pipeline, and a disruption to public voting computer systems is inconceivable?

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Apparently, the President asked voters to consider how he runs up ramps as a reason to vote for him:

For my variable portfolio I am thinking of making new investments into a dividend fund and a Swiss fund (fund that invests in Swiss companies).

Just checking to see if anyone has any recommendations.

Thanks!

Thank you all.

This is exactly the information I was looking for.

Hopefully, having all this rebalancing info in one thread will help other too.

Looking for guidance on PP rebalancing - 'Dick and Jane' version. https://res.cloudinary.com/dtoevk0jc/image/upload/v1597626712/2020-08-16_19-47-42_gpzfuy.jpg On day one of my PP portfolio I am at 25% of each of the four (4) categories. OK, going forward: * When/how often do I check to see if I need...

...There was nothing to suggest he'd be qualified to do the job and his performance has just proven his how unqualified he was... Because anyone could design, build, pay taxes on, and manage a 98 story building in downtown Chicago? https://res.cloudinary.com/dtoevk0jc/image/upload/v1597524956/trump...

...Biden and Harris can read with emotion... For sure while this a skill needed to get elected president, I am not sure it is very useful for carrying out the duties of being president. For carrying out the duties of the office, I tend to look to see what the person has built/delivered, either by t...

Does PRPFX still hold a lot of real estate? That got hit pretty hard. Looks like PRPFX has a target of 15% for Real Estate/Natural Resources. As of 12/31/2019 looks like they were over allocated a bit. From the PRPFX website: https://res.cloudinary.com/dtoevk0jc/image/upload/v1585530333/PermPortPng...

A couple days of these prison-style workouts... I have to say I underestimated how much I could do from home. It's not as good as the gym, but it should be enough to tide me over for now and stave off muscular atrophy. My last day at the gym was Thursday, 12-Mar, my first day of 'social distancing'...

My wife received a check payable to her. I endorsed the back 'For Deposit Only' and then our account number for our joint checking account. The teller refused to deposit it, because my wife didn't sign it. OK, I realize my Business Law class was a long time ago, and I am sure that in class we learne...

Looking for common ground...

We haven't entered any wars since the president took office.

Troop deployment in hot spots overseas seem to be reduced at least somewhat. Threats to the US seem to be lessened, again at least to some degree.

What Makes This Song Great? Ep.17 BOSTON https://youtu.be/mrJ0xnXv_IQ I've been enjoying Rick Beato's 'What Makes This Song Great?' series on YouTube.

Wow. The Permanent Portfolio Fund really struggled last year...

Thank you barrett and jhogue. Yep, I was wondering thtat if the gov't could handle a case of a stolen/lost/destroyed bonds, then they might be able to provide a list. It's reasonable to me though that the gov't isn't in a position to provide a list of any/all bonds outstanding for an individual, tha...

Thank you Sophie! I am taking your suggestion and checking the Net Expense Ratio of each of the stock possibilities at MarketWatch: Commission Free @TDA MTUM .15% QUAL .15% Vanguard VTI .04% VBR .07% Yes, I can see recouping the Vanguard commissions relatively quickly, with the lower Net Expense Rat...

Throughout the 80's and 90's I purchased EE Savings Bonds through my employers 'payroll savings plan'. And then in the early 00's a couple/few I Bonds, I think through an online form at the US Treasury website. (Pretty sure I didn't create an account, even if that was available at the time, just pur...

Many thanks for suggesting that I look at MTUM as well. Yes, I see it on the list on 'commission free trades' and will check it out. This account is relatively small; it is connected with my new Lively HSA; for simplicity (laziness) I want to setup/maintain a self-contained PP here with ETF's only. ...

I've just opened an account at TD Ameritrade. I would like to construct a PP with the Commission-Free ETF's available at TD Ameritrade.
