I don't know what will be on the news tonight with all the networks except Fox but I really don't need to watch to make a prediction. The main topic of conversation will be the godawful thing that Donald Trump did or said that day which will be the most outrageous thing that any American president e...

Trump and the military/intelligence services know the most of anyone, and there are many varied opinions, I don't think the issue is knowledge, it's just different opinions and perspectives. Some general might say, "hey, if we leave them to their own devices, ISIS is going to take over and tra...

It's really hard to figure out what is going on over there what with Turkey, the Kurds, Isis, Assad, etcetera. Damn if I can figure any of it out. Does anyone here really understand a bit of it? What I do wonder about is why in the hell is the whole goddamn thing the problem of the U.S. taxpayer? Th...

I would not waste valuable space in tax deferred accounts to hold any interest bearing instruments with no potential for large gains at any where near these levels .that space is way to valuable to take up with investments that pay so little No. Tax deferred accounts expose your gainful investments...

Big baseball fan when I was younger but not so much nowadays.

I could give you all the statistics of the L.A. Dodgers (Koufax and company) back then but the game has gotten far too boring since then.

When it comes to those on the left standing up for the "truth" I think you need only look to judge Kavanaugh. On the one year anniversary of his confirmation to the supreme court there was a group of protesters outside the supreme court building protesting that they had put an "obviou...

Is it just me, or is the crop of 2020 Dems unusually filled with liars? I don't try to memorize the offenses, but I'm pretty sure several of them have proven track records of lies. And I can think back to the same thing in other years. John Kerry, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Hillary. Usually they are in...

The Democrat Congress and Presidential candidates seem to be doing everything in their power to alienate independents and even moderate Democrats. If everything goes on as it is, Trump will win in a landslide and the Republicans will take back the House and keep the Senate. The George McGovern/Rich...

I'm retired so I don't have a lot to think about in regards to "New Investments". Just starting my SS benefits this year after delaying to age 70 and I have been running a bit of a surplus lately so it is something to think about now. My wife still works and her 401k investments are apport...

Can't remember the exact date I bought in but I think it was some time in 2008 after the financial meltdown. I believe gold and bonds were doing well at the time while stocks were crashing which I found impressive after reading about the Permanent Portfolio. Don't remember the prices I bought in at ...

Curious as to how many of you have read Craig and Tex's book, which I refer to as the Permanent Portfolio Bible. I first read it quickly. Then I read it more slowly in a studying fashion. And, since then I have gone back to reread selected portions of it. Not the parts that convince you do it since...

Did you have any systematic way of apportioning? Like 75% of purchases of one and 25% for the other? Or, has it been more haphazard? Thanks Vinny More haphazard than systematic, to be sure. Bought mostly Eagles until one day I thought it would be cool to buy some other kinds and Maple Leafs were my...

I have some of both, but mostly American Eagles.

Forget Ukraine. I would really like to know the truth about Biden and his son but it's just political noise and nonsense for which we all know that nobody is ever going to be held accountable so what is the point? I would prefer to see a substantive debate about Trump's order to remove troops from S...

Alcoholic fermentation produces CO2 gas as a byproduct, so this guy also burps -- a lot.

We all know that Jesus can turn water into wine. I prefer beer but wine is okay.

If there was something truly nefarious going on here it would be one thing but I tend to believe that what they are accusing Trump of is something the accusers are equally guilty of, as it seems more and more clear every day. And I believe at the very worse it's probably on a par with the "crim...

I, for one, want to know all about the story of Biden and his son. I heard about it in bits and pieces in the past but had no idea about the possible extent of corruption. For someone who campaigned on a promise to come to Washington and "drain the swamp" what, exactly, is wrong with this?...
