To put all monies in perspective, take a guess at what our national debt interest alone is on a monthly basis................. $1 Trillion. Take another wild guess at who receives the majority of that real money..........................China. Again, who knows where this goes and how long...

I don't know, I don't like the kids in a sandbox routine. When Trump does it, I cringe, so when other leaders do it, they look as muddy as the mudslinger. Never a good look and never gets any situation going in the right direction. Me personally, I would have called Trump on the private line...

Talking with an investment bank today for a work project, one of the persons is a personal friend, so we spent a few minutes on the phone afterward. His take and it is more his business than mine is that Traders made out huge last 3 weeks. Lots of money made on the short. Same time, lots made...

to answer an earlier question, China didn't return any outreach or calls from what I read. How true that is of course is the press source, but from what I read, the US did try. How hard is anyone's guess. Tom

Pretty good article. It is opinion in a lot by drawing conclusions, but some of them are probably true. The one thing I wonder is who will be the White Knight country that brokers a deal between the US and China. Someone (one of our allies) will feel enough pain, maybe all of them and step in...

That solves a lot too. All it does is provide a fundraising opp for re-election campaigns on all sides, so once again, the ultra right and ultra left will elect candidates and put us right back in the middle of the pot. If our moderates in the entirety of Congress had any sense, they would...

Couple of interesting developments. The Senate is getting ready to vote on a bi-partisan bill to repeal the emergency tariffs. Probably not much effect. I also just read where the toy train hobby (I am assuming through Lionel as it is the USA company) is asking for an exemption from the...

I would hope an 80 year old's financial advisor has them in bonds and money markets. Anything else would be criminal. No 80 year old should be heavily invested in the Dow or S&P 500. Like I said, if they are in a managed money situation, they would have grounds for a large lawsuit. If they...

I live here and have no words. It is becoming unlivable. Tom

I don't disagree with the thoughts on any of these recent posts except the ones on the stock market. It is a long term game. I can remember 1998 and 2003 very vividly and due to immaturity on my end, I actually lost real greenbacks. Why, b/c I got skittish and made some terrible decisions...

I am sorry, but the market has done this since I have invested in it. I just don't get the short term thinking. Nothing was wiped out, it is all on paper. Earnings? NO, the market has been on artificial highs for years, there is absolutely ZERO earnings behind the market growth. It has all...

Very true post. I am a long term view on this in more of a wait and see. Yes, short term could be painful, but at some point, there has to be a change. The other side of this coin is that if the Country continued to punt the football, we would eventually be owned in more ways than one by a...

Confirmed, original paper mache, paper and wood version. It is the real deal as Brad indicated. Tom

One of my favorites, sad to hear, he had a lot of good roles. Always will remember him as Doc Holliday. TD=83523&hash=6e5aa34f9d5d47a41991031780a45e83']Attach files

Take a look at Snow White, it is drowning and now predicted to be break even at best. As I have said, words and actions matter. Not only was the script crap, but the main lead said a whole lot in public that wasn't very nice. She is now owning the flop. TD

I must confess this made me chuckle! In all seriousness, we are bombarded in my community even though at the entrance there is Do Not Solicit. I am the first one who writes out donations to charities of my choice annually and I commit to it. That said, I truly thoroughly vet them also...

I don't really think there is anything funny about it nor do I think Trump's are either. I think the proper thing is to just say this is idiotic and flat out wrong. Again, your post is IMO where the problem lies. Instead of universal condemnation, it becomes a rationalization issue. It is...

Doug every side uses the spin machine, a lot of noise, I simply ignore it and just relegate the fact that idiots continually through the ages are in governmental positions of power. Sad really. TD

On another note, where is the universal condemnation of the violence against Tesla? Look, I don't believe in or am going to purchase an electric car. That said, the violence that is being condoned by Democrats, yes I said that because it is a fact, is ridiculous. I have no respect for the...

And Wall Street is making money hand over fist on the fluctuations and whims. We as individual investors can only ever get lucky or ride the coattails. Timing the market is just not a good idea. More money is made when everyone else is fleeing the market than when it is "hot". The market may...
