Another on the same theme:

TO RIDE IN THE BACK OF THE STATION WAGON

Ha! My brother and I always rode in the way back of our station wagon. A Volare. There’s was a lot of “Hold on, I’m turning!” like in your cartoon panel.

And, it should be mentioned, SUVs are are way more lethal (to what they hit, head on) than are station wagons.

Your daily b’heads initialism: SUBs are sign-up bonuses in the context of credit card rewards.
That’s like, barely shorter than bonus.

^ not good enough, imho. Glad I weaned off of there before 2020, the purge mustve been insane.

Bough a little PFIX. But I might be making a mistake, maybe I should simply hold less EDV.

I saw Vinny over there, looking for a thread on tariffs. It’s been locked at least 7 times.

Ironic for you to come back with two symbols that mean nothing to me!

^ EDV is very long-term treasury bonds including zero-coupon/STRIPS

I've held it for years at a loss.

I think PFIX is one of those funds that mathjak was hawking recently ^

Last December I finally sold the only stock I'd owned since 2008. A gold stock. Had been losing since I bought it 20 years ago -- at a loss.

Vin, I see you’re reading ‘The Power Broker.’

I saw Robert Caro in person, giving a talk at my local library a few years ago. Awesome.

Was reading it. Finished it a few weeks ago.

Caro is one of America's great authors.

I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day with their loved ones!

The missus and I went for Korean food at a local place. They do traditional Korean food but turned up to 11. Giant portions, extra spicy, extra savoury, that kind of thing. We then chilled at home with some gifts we exchanged and chocolate cake.

I ended up getting her a set of these as a gift.

How'd you guys spend the big V day? :)
