Some of these lessons are learned the hard way. I took profits last year on my NVDA. I knew I would pay taxes but seeing the actual numbers- it was a shocking amount. I thought about how hard it would be to pay those taxes if I had turned around and spent all that money. It was still poor...

That is really good info SD. I have to start looking at that- I have a 457 that I need to see if I can start converting. I’m retired at age 58 so I have left it in the 457 so I can draw if I need to but I can easily afford to start converting.

Sounds like the early reports that he was already picked up were a ruse to try to get the Iranians to give up searching or at least slow them down. Have been listening to a series on the “Blackhawk Down” battle and it puts a lump in my throat to think of what the bastards do to our guys.

See!!!! My math sucks, lol. Don’t leave free money on the table. Make a 100% guaranteed overnight return. Let it compound over time. I do know that.

I look at it this way- that 5% is an instant, guaranteed gain every time. Free money. And it contributes greatly to the magic formula of time and compounding. I feel foggy today and my math sucks on a good day. Isn’t an employer match like a 50% gain in the market? If that is right, where...

And just confirming @trampledbyturtles- your employer doesn’t match your 401k correct? I think the info SD posted about taxes is great info but if your employer matches, to me I would max that first.

This is such good news! Hats off to that pilot for successfully evading and ALL the people that stuck their necks out to bring back our guy. I have been watching the NASA stuff with pride too. That’s been lump in the throat stuff for me.

Put in a few miscanthus rhizomes. Then outta nowhere a really nice 80 gallon Demco sprayer got posted on FB marketplace while I was waiting to get my hair cut. Was very happy to replace my old 55 gallon Fimco!!!

Put a camera on this den hole and it was constant in and out of coons. No activity since dropping a few gopher/woodchuck bombs in there.

I do want more info. Having been around a lot of prosecutions, what usually happens is you keep the pressure on until you make the defendant a believer in playing for Team America. Getting more info doesn’t sound like what’s going on here (at least to me). I think it’s more likely “stay quiet...

Oh yeah. Its huge. She gets a meeting with Blanche. He is high in the justice department at the time. Red flag. She gets immunity for her statements during the interview with a Trump guy. Red flag. She gets access to the grand jury transcripts to see who said what in the grand jury...

I have not been 100% satisfied with any president since Tricky Dick Nixon. My mom tells me that 6 year old Westwind was a BIG supporter. Good gawd, lol

Got a couple thoughts brewing here. I bought a bag of roundup ready alfalfa and will plant it but waiting for my soil test to come back. This will be on a piece that I should be able to get someone to bale. Plan to leave it after 2 cuttings and overseed with cereal grain in fall. For plotters...

From a NYT article: “The Trump administration is scrambling to respond to a global information war with adversaries like Russia, China and a battered but defiant Iranian government. The information warfare around the conflict in Iran is just one instance in which administration officials...
