I believe the IAUM custodian is JP Morgan and the GLDM custodian is HSBC. One is US based one is not. But at this rate who knows if you can trust either one of them. I could be off but I think this was the case last time I checked.

These fake post are a nuisance. Thanks @Xan!

For my kids I do the total stock market index only with dividends reinvested. They have the beauty of time and do not have to smooth out volatility at the cost of returns. Plus I don’t want them to have to deal with the cognitive load / demand of thinking about this stuff. Set and forget for a long ...

Very sad to watch Zelensky blow it so badly. IMHO He should resign so the war can end. Also Trump was skillfully handling Zelensky’s foolishness. Then Vance caused a serious problem. Vance is a young inexperienced guy who should have stayed quiet. If he had the deal would have closed. Intentional/b...

Treasury bond that pays you back, in dollars, the gold price after a certain number of years. Tie borrowing to gold without having to have convert to gold.

Zelensky will be at the White House today to sell his country to the US.

He goes through many of the behavioral biases that cause people to underperform. Also he pretty much nails why its so hard to sell a winner and buy a loser (IE rebalance).

Golden Butterfly in my 401k and basic stock in taxable that is slowly backing into gold, treasuries, small cap value. But still mostly stocks. I also would not do cash in the 401k in hindsight. Hi 👋🏻 Which etfs do you have on it and why GB instead of HBPP? 🤗 IAUM / VTI / mostly VBR, AVUV (consideri...

What it is was an aburdly transparent creation of a virus in a lab that was funded by a convoluted chain of US funding because this type of virus development is possibly the most dangerous technology on the planet and I believe is not legal.

Very helpful thread. I’ve heard there is no reporting requirements when you sell under a certain amount to a local coin shop. Is that true? And if so is it also true for large dealers like Apmex and jmbullion. Incidentally I just purchased from jmbullion for the first time. Good experience.

I believe ownership of stocks was previously private property and it has been changed. Your broker historical has been a custodian of your stocks. But now they are something else.

https://youtu.be/dk3AVceraTI?si=K7A9ytWrvCr4Ta7U Basically I believe the gist of it is a broker use your stocks as collateral when they are doing financial “things”. If they can’t pay the money they borrowed back your stock is going to the creditor. I believe it’s article 8 of the uniform civil code.

You may be right about the Russian settlement of that region but I have heard he only sent a small portion of his army to fight. Something like five or ten percent. That does not sound like he was trying to conquer Ukraine. Regardless of that, he may be successful based on the negotiated outcome. A ...

I think the probabilities of a war are what can be more determined. There is a .01 percent chance I will fall off a cliff if I am in the middle of the desert. 5 percent if I am near a cliff. 80 percent if I am standing next to a cliff besides a crazy person. 70 percent chance of getting run over by ...

and Ukraine will not be in NATO Why would it want to? Many trusted the US, adopted the dollar as a primary trade settlement currency in place of gold and accepted it exporting inflation to help fund a massive military might for collective defense - but now see the light (trust and support was mispl...

And if you think about the pure absurdity of fauci claiming with a straight face the coronavirus came from a market adjacent to the lab where the ecohealth alliance was funding research into the exact virus. These people should be held accountable. And going so far as to attempt to discredit and rui...

Keep in mind this hearing took place during the Biden administration. USAID is already one casualty. These guys are probably furiously making deals to stay out of DOGE and Trump’s crosshairs. https://oversight.house.gov/release/hearing-wrap-up-ecohealth-alliance-should-be-criminally-investigated-for...

Capture.JPG I think he funded gain of function research at the Wuhan lab through something called Ecohealth Alliance and USAID. IF so ... was it done for any malicious intent? Any personal monetary gain? What was the motivation? Vaguely I believe it was to circumvent the US prohibition on gain of f...

Sorry I can’t help but be sarcastic here. We (the American public) are going to feel great about saving Ukraine when the war ends. And the US and possibly Russia are going to go in and pillage Ukraine’s natural resources as the price for peace and Ukraine will not be in NATO and they are going to l...

Is anyone watching Trumps daily press conferences. I am finding them extraordinary. I’ve never seen a president just sit there and take question after question while signing order after order and then hosting world leaders and the Elon comes in. I don’t agree with everything he is doing but I am sti...

“The Unix Programming Environment” by Kernighan and Pike literally changed my life. I can string together a few different commands and do what other folks at my office would take at least a hundred lines of Python and several hours. And I just do it on the fly. Need to watch Severance. Another perso...
