Re: Mar A Lago documents

During an interview on "60 Minutes" from September, Biden was asked about the viral photograph of top secret documents spread across the floor by the FBI following the raid of former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home. "When you saw the photograph of the top secret documents laid out on the floor at...

Re: ChatGPT and what it means for our future

If whatever returns the results does not exceed the scope of factual knowledge it starts with them it is not thinking. It ...

Re: 2022 Returns

I haven’t looked, but did anyone hit any rebalance bands? I did on my gold when it spiked to 2k but I did not follow the rules! But I’ve been pretty good since.

Re: Zeihan on the dollar

YouTube started recommending this guy’s videos to me recently and I’ve watched a few of them. Apparently he used to work for Stratfor and left to start his own firm around the time WikiLeaks started publishing over 5 million Stratfor emails. That seems interesting, but maybe it’s just a coincidence.

Re: SCV in the GB

Some additional options are SLYV and IJS. They are both "S&P 600 Small Cap Value" ETFs. Using the research tool on Schwab.com, they list 162 ETF and mutual fund choices for small cap value (good luck with that!). Schwab lists SWSSX as a blended fund, so it's not one of the 162 mentioned above. At Po...

Re: West Provokes Russia to Protect Russians in Ukraine

My absolute favorite obvious contradiction for right wing conspiracies as a generality is that on one hand, the government is so corrupt and incredibly inept that it can do nothing right. Yet, on the other hand the government is so wickedly brilliant that it can infiltrate and control every aspect ...

Re: Liquidate Some Roth Space to Buy Physical Gold?

Hey Stuper1, I think it's a pretty common situation that many of us have: being heavy on the tax advantaged accounts and light on after-tax funds. On the other hand, funds in a Roth IRA are highly valuable. When I found myself in a similar situation to yours, I took a middle path. That is, I still ...

Deep State apologists are always like:

1. That's not happening, it's a conspiracy theory.

2. Okay it's happening, but so what, it's always been happening.

3. You f***ing morons should be glad it's happening!

Finally, I will ask you a pointed question regarding January 6th. Is there any defending Trump's lack of action for hours? Was there any way he was not guilty of gross dereliction of duty? Is this not a fireable offense, making you ineligible for any future public office? If he had behaved like tha...
