I would appreciate that. I will PM you. Or if it’s a website type thing that spits it out I can save you the trouble.
-
Yep. Even with that the OSMYX one is rated midrange in terms of fees in that category. People always trying to get over. I will be moving that one into my self directed next week. Thanks.

Trump and the National Guard Thread - Sandwich Guy acquitted
thegeneral replied to squistion's topic in The Geek Club
Right he flat out lied repeatedly about Stormy. He still says he didn’t. He is lying about his Epstein relationship, The originally story, repeated by many people here was Trump booted Epstein out because he found out he was a creep. Some even said Trump went to the cops in Florida Trump himself blew up that story. Trump said he knew Epstein liked em young but was just a terrific guy. He’s been very odd with his comments about Maxwell. Would it be any shock that Trump was a creep with some 17 year old 30 years ago? Let’s be honest. So if Trump wants to act like it’s now no big deal to not release this stuff with these circumstances and then thinks telling people to forget about it doesn’t make him look suspicious as hell…well not sure what to say. -
This is the thing I just described in my post above. My 401k was charging large fees to do this when I looked into them when they were first offered to us.

So took a quick peak, on my phone so is a PITA… Looks like my largest funds are a bit of a mixed bag…FXAIX is very good. OSMYX my second largest one is mediocre. Could do better on that one. Will have to look at the rest later. Unless they are hiding other fees. I think their big vehicle for making money on fees my company’s set up was to get people to move into these things that they controlled completely. Some Morningstar thing that moved risk down as you age. Those def seemed to be a bit of a ripoff as they charged a decent amount to run them.

I thought I answered you twice now even though you changed it up. First, they should be taken to task for not releasing it. I assume Trump isn’t in it in any meaningful way…except for the fact he is acting so guilty . Why do you think he is doing that? -

Now speaking of goalposts your original ask was why didn’t Biden release this. I guess what you were really trying to say was they would have released them if there was something about Trump in them. I didn’t comment if I think Trump is guilty or if this would bring him down. To guilt…He’s certainly acting very guilty. He’s definitely a huge lifelong creep and loved partying with this other creep. He’s transactional about everything he does, it’s very odd he would take this PR hit for no reason. Best case IMO is that he’s just embarrassed about any mention of him in these even stuff that, while he was hanging with some unsavory people, is more creepy…not a crime. Worst case who knows but way worse than that. To the idea this would bring him down…agree that there won’t be some smoking gun type revelation and nothing ultimately comes of this. Again this is of Trump’s doing…so fock him and let him take all the smoke -
I do have VOO in my yearly IRA. Not sure why I haven’t thought to check Schwab’s fees. They are probably taken my cash with a big smile on their face

Yeah I can move in between the two. You know I have never looked at this, probably worth doing.

They definitely deserve to be taken to task about that. Have at it. They also didn’t spend years cultivating the belief that the leadership of the Democratic Party drank kid’s blood that they harvest through a global cabal and communicate via coded messages in email. They didn’t put podcasters in charge of our highest IC and law enforcing agencies who just last year bragged about how they would release all this information, hold press conferences with binders of make believe files that were to be released any day now!! insist that because the files were not being released that obviously the people in power doing this were guilty, etc… This is a classic case of chickens coming home to roost. Donald then has the audacity to tell these people who lapped this stuff up to forget about it and they are stupid. It’s hilarious to me, no clue how it gets away with this type of stuff. -
I have a bit of a modified version of this going on I guess. A large chunk of my money is in Index Funds. The monthly contributions go into those. My self directed accounts tho I dump out of many individual stocks after even small gains. Trading has slowed down a ton past few years but still dabble with smaller amounts. Have gotten down to owning maybe 20 or so companies and most are old school dividend stocks. Coke, Visa, JJ, PG, WMT etc. I don’t really even watch those and just reinvest dividends. The part that is probably unwise is I have kept large stakes in the tech companies that I just can’t see losing in the near future outside of global calamity. AAPL, MSFT, GOOG, and to a lesser extent NFLX and well not so small anymore NVDA. NVDA for instance I sold half when it doubled up…has since got up another 8X. Now I didn’t of course see them like I do now and was (and am) fine with selling would have been nice to keep it. Similar thing happened with AAPL years ago which was one of the first individual stocks I ever traded. I sold a bunch and that one I had no business selling. Can’t complain about taking profits…but it was dumb. I will at some point cut these way back but I’m still going to work for at least a few more years and am generally bullish.

I like boring I guess. Do enjoy seeing plays although don’t do it too often. When in NY will look at what’s playing if I have free time. Just don’t get musicals and they have always seemed strange to me. Old man energy here
-
All shtick aside…this is excellent advice. Takes a lot of discipline to do. I have yet to trim anything significant since using majority of my safe money back in while market was tanking back in beginning of year.

Not a fan. Just say the lines Why are they busting out in a song and prancing around while talking about cats or the phantom at the opera?

So she directs a non-profit, these payments are all tracked by the IRS, people and companies claim them on their end. She then takes millions from them and doesn’t report it? From some web surfing her salary looks to be 150k a year. Newsome’s taxes from March 2022 show joint income of nearly $1.5 million and tax payments totaling about $480,00 Looks like he hasn’t released them since then. This doesn’t look particularly bad and not as you are portraying and certainly nothing like the OP.

Big Balls probably deserved a beating for being a little dooshbag, but not if he was just driving around. He was of course still being a dooshbag as it is his natural state, but these criminals would not know that and were just being scumbag lowlifes. This should have of course not happen and those little fockers should be in prison and shame on them for bringing Big Balls back into the public’s eye and making him a sympathetic figure. I hope Big Balls gets his justice. Trump will fock it up of course but say he fixed it like no one has ever seen! We have seen this movie. -
AAPL you sexy beast. I’m sorry I doubted you, a little tough love is all It took. All time highs in Genrilisimo’s account. A great day!

Musicals are just weird in general. Don’t get it.

Are you implying that California, New York, Hawaii aren’t three of the worst states in the country and perhaps people’s weird political views are coming into play
-
I don’t particularly have an opinion of Gavin Newsome. I have seen him interviewed and he’s a slick talker, looks a bit greasy, appears to be a decent politician. These claims he’s stealing money do always sound crazy. He’s a very, very public figure, his taxes are made public, he has millions of people who despise him and follow him closely writing about all the negative things they perceive he’s done. So how would he get away with taking 50 million like the ridiculous OP video says or his wife stealing money like you claim? Doesn’t it seem more likely that they would be busted? I mean you and the OP know it happened, so why not in the courts or with the IRS?

I’m guessing Dolemite or Bowfinger for this writer guy…or I guess it’s Eddie himself! -

Beverly Hills Cop..Coming to America…48 Hours…Trading Places. All great. The first two were pretty much all Eddie so put them a notch above when talking about his career.
