I hinted to this in the previous post. It became official: Bye bye money orders at Kroger. I first saw this coming from this blogger…the rest are followers! Remember, I see things first and Deep Throat works for me hehe.
5 Ways Travel for Frequent Flyers Got Worse in 2016. This is right on!
Interesting article at the New York Times: Want to Take a Luxury Trip? Booking Sites Enter the Arena. As in membership sites, good luck!
Epic aerial photos by Vincent Lafort #WOW! They are all in his book AIR which you can buy it from his website. I could have tried to insert my Amazon link but I prefer you award the creator directly! But if you want to start your Amazon shopping with my amazing Amazon link…
12 perfect Instagram shots of Hong Kong. I wonder if my son will ever finish that blog post about Hong Kong…
Day trip to Monaco. Nice trip report with great pictures. One day when TBB sells out to the highest bidder like a whore…I will treat my readers a trip here on my yacht #fantasies
Do NOT listen to “experts”. In finance and in miles/points, they are charlatans hurting people! HT
Why is anyone surprised by more shit by Delta? Come on!

If you ever get a talk show I’d better be your first guest
Also, mostly agree with charlatans chart, but the Gundlach “sell everything” on 7/30/2016 is taken a little out of context. I’ve been investing in fixed income funds he’s managed since he was at TCW. His performance against the benchmark is basically unmatched and he’s not charging 2&20 for it. He may be a weird guy but he’s a hell of a bond investor.
I still remember I saw Harry Dent speak at a conference just before tech stocks crashed…as we were walking out me and another colleague kept shaking our heads and he said “this guy is the most dangerous man in America”. Then he flipped to mega pessimist…Hey, whatever sells. I can’t believe anyone cares what this guy says and…yet they do. Just like so many morons keep clicking on Titan links…and the last plastic click I got was two weeks ago…Life is not fair, oh well.
So, what I am saying is, Dent and Faber are much more weird than your guy. Good luck, hope he keeps it up.
You are in for the talk show!
The bondmarket has been on the same trajectory for the last 30-years. Treasury rates have been going down since Volker’s days. Following a trend isn’t hard. Maximizing is. I am finally willing to pay someone to tell me where the rates will be going in the next 2- 5-10 years. Most would say UP. But nobody thought there would be negative rates in many OECD countries. Bill Gross thought the rates would be going up ~5 years ago. As a result PIMCO was struggling. Someone will be right. Most will be wrong. Hindsight is 20/20.
Nobody knows. I sure don’t. So…I diversify, keep costs low, rebalance at set intervals, give Uncle Sam as little as possible…rinse and repeat, stick to a long term plan, pray a lot, focus on what we can control…
Those pics of Emily are so cheesy. It’s what you remember most about that blog, along with the circles and arrows. Well, maybe that’s the point—to get you to remember that blog, even if what they do annoys you! Kind of like TBB’s special “subscribe” popups…which I’ve now figured out how to cure myself of! 🙂
I only associate that blog with Ashley Madison.
bluecat: How DID you get rid of the pop-overs or pop-ups?
The comment about AM made me laugh…could not help it.
Got the message on the popup. Now comes up after 2 minutes. Or you can unsubscribe….or just wait until I delete the darn thing…Gave up being a Titan the right way a long time ago…
Try these guys: http://superuser.com/questions/433613/how-to-disable-javascript-modal-popup-ads
Looks like the next big thing in the blogs is…hiring writers!
I increased the time for the popup to appear to 2 minutes…Wordpress guy says why bother? I will take it off soon…when I lose the plastic links.
Super busy week…only got 4 links for tomorrow…it’s just dead out there!
You’re a bit of a mug if you write for a bigger blog for the peanuts sums I see thrown about given how easy it is to do your own thing. Or do it properly and take a staff job – the woman who works for me is probably the highest paid business travel writer in the UK.
One day I will be in the same position…and get 150 people to come to my party in a few hours notice #welldone
I agree with you…I am amazed how people agree to write for such amounts…
Little known fact: I’m the highest paid TBB commenter in my building
