I'm 13-15 months from hitting 7-digits...and for what? If you can't "live" on $130K/yr retirement income...I'm going to be the first one to tell you, perhaps you need to address your "problem" :lol: First off, CONGRATS! Be grateful because you have an income (for life apparently...

I'm only postulating here, but I'm thinking that they're doing this in order to help out banks. If they purchase back long-term treasuries that were purchased by banks, than the insolvency for banks will go as a write-off and not haunt them much longer.

C'mon stocks, make me a believer that you wanna go UP... I "so" want to get back into the market (again)!!! Best of Luck (everyone) in all you choose to endeavor!!! Hey Wingman - I've learned not to make predictions on price moves but what do you think of this: 1) SPX bounce back up to 51...

Exactly Bubba - I almost included this precise point in my above post. Foreign assistance, especially in the Ukraine example, is grossly misunderstood by the American electorate. The false narratives being pushed around it are pretty abhorrent, in my opinion. It's not about the facts, details or ev...

It doesn’t typically get that cold in western Washington. Even if it does happen once or twice, the car may still work with a significantly reduced range. But if I were to get an electric car, I would have to keep my pickup anyway to haul the boat, so it would be available as a backup. Would you co...
