Some things are better left unknown. This is one of them.

They later found a 1/2 empty bottle of firewater in her desk.

'Catholics vs. Convicts' Great memories!

Flamethrowers would do the job.

Notice the towel head with the yellow safety vest flee the scene.

That seems to be the pattern the last couple of quarters. after market hours active +5.50 (+2.65%) AMZN: after market hours active -12.11 (-5.17%)

Most of my money is at Fidelity. I use FDRXX & SPAXX for cash. Current yields are 4.03% & 3.97%

Love that movie. Needless to say, interest rates were far higher back then. I don't understand the obsession with them at this point in time ? Current rates are around the historical average, the markets are rocking, (NASDAQ futures currently up around 300 points) the economy is doing OK, unemployment is low, etc What's not to like ? Besides, is it so horrible that those people that for whatever reason, have a substantial amount in cash, get a decent rate of around 4% Because I'd been building up cash for a down payment on a new house, my cash reserves @ Fidelity had an ADB of 125K in November 2021. I made $1.05 in interest that month. ONE-ONe HUNDREDTH OF ONE PERCENT For comparison, the ADB was a little under 40 K in June & I earned $129.46 Jerome Powell is doing the right thing.

Too kind. What a miserable FAT b1tch

I've seen all kinds of tsunami videos on YouTube, but the one I ran across recently shows it in a way I've never seen before. Horrific. Start @ 0:47

Why would we want to do that ? A majority of threads @ this forum end up drifting away from the original subject.

Right. They absolutely will not admit it. Their solution is always the same.......... we need to increase education funding. Especially maddening in a state like Minnesota, where a substantial % of Republicans, would be considered Democrats in many other states.

Not sure what you mean ? A Google search says she's 84 years old & living a quiet life with her husband Sam Elliot.

The Minnesota DOE has been tweaking the standards required for graduation down (Large Hmong/Somali Population) for decades. While more students are graduating, a significant number are not reaching grade-level proficiency in math and reading. For example, in the class of 2023, only 36.3% could do grade-level math. Minnesota ACT scores continue to decline, and student performance on national assessments is at its lowest point in 30 years. Some reports indicate that nearly 42% of 10th graders are not reading at grade level.

File that under 'an inconvenient truth' A substantial % of the population has been conditioned to avoid discussing subjects like these, or even denying them, even though deep inside, they know it's accurate.

Nice

Needed some packing to return a router, so I bought a USA today weekend edition. Have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it, although I was shocked to find a single issue costs $3.00

Congrats on taking advantage of the situation. It's hard to do at times like that because your instincts tell you to sell. This last deep correction was pretty short-lived however. The most painful one I experienced was the bear market of 2008, which lasted about 1.5 years. I think the S&P 500 was cut in 1/2 @ one point. There was a 3 or 4 month period I couldn't bring myself to look at my Fidelity account. My biggest mistake was that I started purchasing Bank Of America stock a couple years earlier. I was in the red by 25K. Next time I logged in, BAC was down to about $6.00 & I bought another 1000 shares. Thankful I did so now, but it was hard to do @ the time. Let's just hope we never go through a period like the markets went through from 1965 to 1980. One of the guys that's been on CNBC for years was a newbie at a brokerage firm in 1980. He said @ that time, no one was buying stocks, no one was selling stocks, no one even wanted to talk about stocks. Compare that to today.

Back in those days, the Friday (Weekend) edition of the USA today was a must for fantasy football players & gamblers.

Nope. Did about half the crossword puzzle and then quit.

New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin @ a Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration at the City Hall on January 16, 2006 "We as black people, it's time, it's time for us to come together. It's time for us to rebuild a New Orleans, the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans. And I don't care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day."

I wasn't necessarily making any predictions. If nothing else, it might persuade me to build up my cash positions a bit so when the time comes, I can take advantage of Weakling panic sellers!

It is beginning to feel a bit frothy. https://www.longtermtrends.net/market-cap-to-gdp-the-buffett-indicator/ VXX @ 52 week low https://www.imagebam.com/view/ME14J5QL
