Re: How do you invest the Cash portion?

What is the critical difference between Vanguard's treasury money market fund and a short-term treasury fund? Is one more suitable for the PP than another?

Re: TLT vs EDV vs ZROZ

Craig & MT say in their book that the managers of TLT have recently begun to lend shares. I have not heard the same about EDV.

Re: Mueller's Testimony

It's not that hard to imagine a front man being kept clueless by a team of supposed subordinates. However, the fact that half the citizens in this country knew what was going on--right down to the sordid details--makes that theory impossible for me to buy. Regarding my earlier comment about no one h...

Re: Mueller's Testimony

After a little nosing around, I see that Mueller has appeared before Congress a total of 88 times since 1990. Many, if not all, of those appearances were videotaped and are available on the internet. I went back and reviewed just a couple of clips from the last few months. Absolutely nothing in his ...

Re: Mueller's Testimony

Except that Mueller is on the short list of candidates for prosecution--that is, unless he has been granted some form of immunity. He didn't invoke the Fifth, so everything he said (or was unable to say) would be admissible in a subsequent criminal proceeding against him. A seemingly random inabilit...

As I think about it a little more, I recall that the claim being made is that Mueller has dementia and that everybody in Washington DC knew about it.

Mueller's Testimony

So what do you all think about the theory that Mueller has dementia and that he was used as the front man all this time because he couldn't understand anything? He did, truly, look like a broken man; however I'm inclined to believe that he's suffering from the same infirmity that Hillary came down w...

Even if you could argue, with a straight face, that illegal aliens are entitled to representation in Congress, the principled way of going about the census--as with any issue--is to lay bare the unadulterated facts, which are what they are, and to argue from there what the Constitution says about th...
