Added small amounts of Google & SOXL near the close.

I was fortunate enough to never experience anything like that. I worked at a container/packaging company many years ago. We made beef, chicken, & pork cans for the government. https://www.imagebam.com/view/ME101E2F Was the cheese good at least ?

I don't know about paws, but I knew that & was just having a little fun.

Nailed it. I did my own taxes without software until 1999. Since my account at Fidelity was growing, it was becoming a pain to enter the LT capital gains, ST capital gains, dividends, interest, etc. That year I decided to go to an accountant. Probably took a total of 20 minutes. Got the bill a week later $180 The next year, Fidelity gave me a free copy of TurboTax deluxe. I was hesitant, but I decided WTF, I'll give it a go. It worked out, & felt very satisfying to not have to pay some a hole $180 to get it done. I quit getting the free copy of TT 3 or 4 years later, but continued to use it. I can't begin to imagine how much that guy would charge me for my 2024 return ? I would guess my average annual cost for doing them myself over the past 20 years would be around $45. Even though I don't always like the end result, I actually look forward to doing my taxes every year. Unreal how so many people who have fairly easy returns, go to places like H&R Block. I think the minimum there is around $200 now.

Elton John was recently interviewed leaving a bar. He was very agitated. The reporter asked him why ? "I've been in that bar over 2 hours & no one offered to push my stool in"

You're welcome. It actually isn't called summary. It's the page that opens up after I login. 'All Accounts'

It was towards the bottom of my summary page. https://www.imagebam.com/view/MEZZ8ZF

"The Night of the Hunter" (1955), where the main character, a preacher named Harry Powell played by Robert Mitchum, has the word "love" tattooed on one hand and "hate" on the other.

For reasons unknown, I've never held Microsoft directly ? Was pleasantly surprised to see that Fidelity is giving me a download of TurboTax Premier federal + state for $5.39 Rolling a Vanguard 401(k), into an IRA at Fidelity late last year must've made me a big enough whale to qualify for that freebie

Are you sure you want to know ?

Added 20 shares of Google at 170 & 100 shares of first solar @ 135 today. FSLR is in my opinion, the best US solar company. Problem is, it's been cratering over the possibility of the current administration eliminating solar subs. Nothing is certain, but I believe it's getting very close to a price and multiple, that even if the subs were discontinued, it would still be fairly priced. Anyone else do any bottom fishing this week ?

It's unfortunate that someone had to die, but people have to learn that when you've been caught, man up & comply. If you truly believe it's unjustified, you'll have your day in court.

Was in bad need of a laugh today, & this commercial delivered.

Completely forgot that one. I know I have the DVD laying around somewhere. May have to watch it later tonight.

Hell yeah! Just look at that cover picture for the video. I can't say what I'd love to see happen to him.

Yup

Not sure why, but that literally made me laugh out loud! My favorite gene Hackman movie is Mississippi Burning, love the scene with Michael Rooker.

The only thing Michael Moore is good at......

He sure did. I can't help myself. Anytime that meltdown comes up in conversation, I can't help but share the following, so those uninformed people, who think it was solely the fault of wall street & banks, hear the truth & know that while the banks were guilty, it wouldn't have been possible without the 2 government-sponsored enterprises known as Fannie and Freddie. Yes, banks all around the country approved subprime mortgages. Why would they do this ? Because they knew shortly after, they could hand them off to Fannie and Freddie. (Fannie and Freddie are government sponsored enterprises) A government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) is a private company that Congress created to help specific sectors of the US economy access credit. GSEs are quasi-governmental entities that are regulated and supported by the government. Problem is, they weren't regulated, at least not as closely as they should have been. This is covered in the link below. Even worse, they were publicly traded companies. In my humble opinion, no GSE should be publicly traded. I've posted the following link several times here at the forum. For anyone who really wants to know the truth about how and why we got to that point, I've never seen a better/more articulate/unbiased article, that's written in plain English. https://www.backwoodshome.com/the-meltdown-and-the-bailout-why-how-and-what-they-mean/

You're right, It was a very good report. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/26/nvidia-nvda-earnings-report-q4-2025.html
