Re: Phone - connected to keyboard / monitor

Samsung has done this for awhile. I have never used it extensively. https://www.samsung.com/us/explore/dex/ Thanks. I went to and looked at the web site. It was not clear to me whether it only works with Samsung phones or any Android phones. I sent them that question. What phone do you have?

Eek. I thought I saw it was in London at least.

Max price us gas pumps can handle? Over $10?

At this rate I would not be surprised if we hit $10 gas per gallon. That made me take note of price signs that only have 3 digits making 9.99 the highest price. I am sure the price signs can get creative to handle $10 but what about systems. I tried a quick Google but didn't find anything on how hig...

Re: A cheap version of Universa Investments

Sounds like you have been trying to find way to hedge your taxable stock.


Do you have retirement accounts that you can use to balance it with gold and bonds?


Would your taxes be so bad if you just sold a little to increase your cash to comfortable level?

On the other hand (I may be wrong here), electric cars can't coast. I have only bought cars with a m...

Re: EE Bonds as Deep Bonds

The only thing deterring me from ee bonds this year is I bonds with their incredible rate.

My hope is to be able to max out I bonds before rate change. Then I will move on to ee bonds.

With these great rates I wouldn't want to add to retirement account if I was going to buy bonds in it.

I wasn't the first to say it but crypto is more stock like than gold.

May be there has been some border flight usage but otherwise it is mostly risk on speculation buy.
