    Ten Dead And Thirty Injured Last Night In New Orleans

  4. The new year is literally starting out with a bang. People being pushed into subway tracks in New York, a guy in a truck plowing into a large group of people then opening fire in New Orleans. Welcome to the jungle baby........ diversity is our strength

    Trump May Privatize Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac

    I assume you're referring to Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) & Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FMCC) ? If that's the case, I agree 110% For one thing, no GSE should be a publicly traded company. Corruption is rampant. That includes our very own Government. Anyone who doesn't realize that is painfully ignorant and if they lost money by believing otherwise, I have zero pity for them.

    I buy all my gold bars there. Just kidding, we don't have one in my town. If we did, I'd find an alternative.

    The Lugi McDonalds Tonight

    I can remember when fillet of fish were only a dollar on Fridays during lent. I think they've shrunk by about 1/3 as well. Rip off would be an understatement.

    Trump May Privatize Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac

    The United States Postal Service (USPS) is an independent agency of the executive branch of the United States federal government. https://thehill.com/opinion/congress-blog/3993213-the-imploding-us-postal-service-bailout/

    Trump May Privatize Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac

    Appreciate the reply. Yes, I've read the story many times, & if I gave the impression that I was discounting the role banks played in the meltdown, & blamed it entirely on Fannie and Freddie, that wasn't my intent. You made the point I was trying to make in your reply. My point being that if Fannie and Freddie weren't available to offload those subprime loans, & the banks actually had to hold them, they probably wouldn't have made them. Regards
  12. Certainly not a happy ending for the Browns.

    Those banks and other mortgage lenders were pressured into giving loans to anyone and everyone. No disrespect intended, but did you read the article I included the link to ?

    I'll never forget the time the US postmaster general was testifying before Congress almost begging them to let the USPS discontinue Saturday mail. They said no.

    Is CVS a buy right now?

    I don't use the macro-trends site to pick stocks. Only use it to check the fundamentals such as top line (revenues) bottom line (earnings per share) net profit margins, etc, when I find a stock I'm interested in. As for CVS, Revenues look great. CVS Health annual revenue for 2023 was $357.776B, a 10.95% increase from 2022. CVS Health annual revenue for 2022 was $322.467B, a 10.39% increase from 2021. CVS Health annual revenue for 2021 was $292.111B, a 8.71% increase from 2020. That's impressive for a company that size. Unfortunately, trailing 12 months EPS is showing a negative trend. Beginning with Q3 2023 $6.67 - $6.47 - $5.70 - $5.63 - $3.95 Net margins for the same period 2.48% - 2.33% - 1.98% - 1.36% Lastly, look at total returns. $100 invested in CVS stock 5 years ago would be worth $69.37 today. Total return includes price appreciation plus reinvesting any dividends paid out. https://www.financecharts.com/stocks/CVS/growth/total-return If that wasn't bad enough, the Justice Department recently filed a nationwide Lawsuit Alleging CVS Knowingly Dispensed Controlled Substances (Opioids) in Violation of the Controlled Substances Act and the False Claims Act. I'm afraid the company's future will be similar to Walgreens. Walgreens' stock is trading near 30-year lows and down 65% YTD Ultimately, you're the only one who can decide whether or not to invest in the stock, but I wouldn't. Almost forgot. As at least one person already mentioned, you have the Amazon factor as well.

    Start here. https://www.macrotrends.net Type in the symbol & start with revenues. I have to run, if I get back at a decent hour, I'll check it out myself & report back.
  17. Good. Wondering why you had doubts....... They looked legitimate to me.
