Re: Coronavirus General Discussion

I dont necessarily object to gain of function research. But its interesting how this story was scrubbed for several days, and how most of family will never hear about it. People are living in different realities if they dont seek out contrarian news sources. When everyone had to read NYtimes, WSJ e...

Tucker Carlson: Biden is Done

Very interesting segment from Tucker Carlson last night. https://youtu.be/MgXq8S02NJc TL;DR (or watch): Permanent Washington has decided that Biden is done, just like they did with JFK, Nixon, and others. They'll use the classified document scandal as the excuse because it will limit collateral dama...

Re: Mar A Lago documents

Was the reason for the raid that the former President was in possession of the documents? Or was it that he allegedly refused to give them back? Or was it something else? I'm just looking for the official reason, whatever it may be worth. This site has a list of pertinent documents: https://www.jus...

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.

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...
