It's truly astonishing how Slack thinks he's an expert about everything, yet is so consistently wrong.
:lol:
Okay Jan.

The fact that you are adamant that Powell and the Fed have botched it since 2022 is how I know they did well.
Stock market at record highs, and according to Trump the economy is booming and inflation is of no concern, yet we need Powell to leave?
History will look back fondly on how the Powell Fed handled interest rates from 2022 onward. They will not look fondly on how they handled rates in 2021.

re: Buy in now before it is too late! Trump says the "stock market is going to boom"

Oh the Trump put is alive and well. He’s shown throughout his 2nd presidency that if the market throws enough of a fit - particularly the bond market - he will walk back whatever policy he is pursuing that is causing the pullback.

Specific fund pricing is not the market index. Fund holdings are weighted even in total market funds. Invidia makes up more than 6% of VTSAX, so fund performance is weighted toward certain individual stock performances. Funds are not an even sweep of an index. Same for FSKAX
How do you think the S&P500 works?
Regardless, I agree with your overall sentiment. Small and medium sized companies are outperforming and lifting the “total” market.
Now do houses…
ETA - but yeah, commodities like fuel and aluminum haven’t kept up with inflation over long runs (as in since 1980). Pretty nice example of technology driving down costs over time.

The S&P Index is up 5% YTD. That’s the broadcast measure of health of the Financial Markets. I’m sure it will be up by at least 20 % by year’s end. Our financial future looks great.
The S&P500 is up 1.7% YTD. 20% for the year would be a tough hill to climb with valuations but I’d love to see it.

He's obviously bullshitting about thinking he was a Red Cross doctor. But that doesn't make what he posted blasphemous. People should be wondering why he's trying to draw attention to the Red Cross.
Pray tell… :popcorn:
Thank God Trump thought he was just a member of the Red Cross or else this would have really upset all this anti-woke Catholics.
re: Tucker showing more proof he’s pro Islam

According to Islamic belief based on the Quran (Surah An-Nisa 4:157–158), Jesus (Prophet Isa) was not crucified or killed. Muslims believe God saved him from the crucifixion, making it appear that he was, and raised him body and soul to heaven. Most believe another person, resembling Jesus, was crucified instead."
Sounds like Muslims were the original Q.

Yeah, I can’t even begin to try and rationalize this one.
Well then, you’re not trying hard enough. Follow the lead of a few of our Arkansas brethren like hawgfaninc or AlterEd and you can rationalize anything.

Saying that Trump supporters consider him an "idol" is pretty frickin stupid. Those of us who support the guy typically pay really close attention to him and are well aware of his faults. We just value the good things he does more than we are concerned with those faults.

Is crazy work.
You’re one of a handful of people that would defend anything that he does - this thread is Exhibit A. To say you’re aware of his faults implies you’ve ever even found one.

So are those for Fleming mad at Trump or not trust his endorsement of Letlow.
Trump is a questionable judge of character at best.

Should I move it to a high yield savings account or into a money market account
Would definitely do this in the interim.
You should consider keeping a reasonable amount in high yield savings type of accounts. investing the difference in an appropriate portfolio that balances your risk tolerance with a 5-10 year time horizon - or whatever is most appropriate for your dad’s situation. If he has multiple heirs consider their financial situation too.

Thank you. :lol:
From what I understand the UAE military is fairly impressive. Not sure of their numbers, but the tools are there.
“The Strait is not open” - UAE-owned oil company CEO

Do we care about this? Serious question.

The Strait of Hormuz has not opened to ship traffic after the U.S. and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire, said the CEO of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) on Thursday.
“This moment requires clarity,” said Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber in a social media post. “So let’s be clear: the Strait of Hormuz is not open. Access is being restricted, conditioned and controlled.”
Iran has made clear that ships must obtain its permission to pass through the Strait, Al Jaber said. “That is not freedom of navigation. That is coercion,” the ADNOC chief said.
ADNOC is the United Arab Emirates’ state-owned oil company. The UAE is the third-largest oil producer in OPEC, pumping 3.4 million barrels per day before the war broke out on Feb. 28
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the ceasefire was subject to Iran agreeing to the complete, immediate and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz. But ship traffic through the strait has not picked up since the ceasefire took effect, freight analysts have told CNBC. Traffic remains at the slow trickle that has been observed during most of the war, they said.
Do we care about this? Serious question.

So because it was from last year that makes it fake? It’s the first time I’ve seen this one, but I e seen others like it in years past. It’s pretty fricked up that you people believe it doesn’t matter just because it was a year ago. They still do this shite daily! You idiots just continue to deep throat MSM and spew out the nonsense they create. Yall are some weird arse motherfrickers!
It’s fake because the entire story has been over for a year and this ridiculously stupid X account is trying to pass it off as breaking news. Cory Booker wrote the script. He claimed it himself. No one got a cyber truck.
Dems still suck. Don’t get your panties in a wad.
