Some levelheaded takes here on Iran among other things.
I know Sam is not for everyone, but Coleman should be.

Isn’t that the Stansberry approach? His ads said, “Man who predicted x now says y.” Meanwhile, I remember all his junk mail touting investments based on a surge in natural gas prices that never did materialize.

I’ve only banned spammers, but i’m pretty sure at least one person banned for being a jerk was in IT.
Even if I remembered his name I wouldn’t mention it, because..innocent until proven guilty. It’s just my crackpot theory, and I would defer ro boglerdude and his botnet theory, or Xan.

I’m jealous of cats and goats synthesizing their own C.

Sounds biblical.

Will boglerdude wear a mask for that?

could it be an IT guy who got banned?

Civilian apartment.

So Iran’s missiles can reach the UK?
Uh oh

I wonder if Trump is hoping for Iran to hit infrastructure and mine the Strait - such that he might justify striking Irans infrastructure (knock out water/electricity/oil revenues) and redirect supply from upgraded Saudi land based pipes (perhaps up through Jordan and into the Mediterranean - an...

wow, below 5000

Let no Iranian missile get near Vinny’s urethra.
Safe passage!

I get all my info from this guy

Speaking for myself, frugal, my pp is not my total. I never could hold that much gold or cash. If I had no Vp, I probably could live off the cash portion.

For me, it’s not just a theory. I literally* did this from 2004 until about 2015, and then I started moving away from it. Would I have been better off just buying total stock market, domestic?
