Yeah, there will be more like this showing up…

What a dumb name though, wow. The tiny print at the bottom, this is from an RIA!

I think I am going to pass for now 🙂

UofM BB team has been on a giant roll all year long, one more to go! I still remember back in 1989 celebrating the national championship when I was a young man lol.
Arsenal must quit collapsing one of these years.
I am more proud of the Detroit Pistons, what a turnaround. Of course it would mean nothing if we don’t win a playoff series, it’s been soooo long.
Everyone is depressed back in my hometown, it happens after each AEL FC loss. Yesterday’s performance was so embarrassing. Wednesday’s game is a MUST win or we will likely not escape relegation.

Happy Easter!

You could have linked to TBB’s Iran report. What happened to yomadic?
TACO, apparently the wall street war playbook is; buy on Monday, sell on Friday. Weekends are too volatile.
WC tickets are outrageously expensive. And more games than ever.

Great links this week, thank you as always.
Currently watching my boys lose to Southampton, and waiting to see if they collapse again this year on all fronts.
Excited about the important game today, at least for you and I. Hopefully will be a close, well played adventure.
Elena, thanks for the heads up!
Enjoy the games today Buzz!

The link to the Iran video is great, thanks Nick!

Big Sur is over rated I agree.

Best place to hold Vanguard investments are at Schwab 🙂 Vanguard’s customer service is legendarily bad. Trying to maintain weight under 175 lbs and it would be easy if I stayed away from free Hyatt breakfasts, airline lounges and business class airline food lol.

Thanks Elena, for clarifying that! I went back and tracked it now and it makes sense, only $1,131 away from another 2 Hyatt elite nights.

If you had $19K spend in 2025, $4K roll-over to 2026 as part of that elite night count, so spend another $1K in 2027 gets you 2 nights in 2026. Only the $15K spend for FNC is by calendar year. I was confused at first when I got elite nights from spend that didn’t add up to $5K yet so I looked into it and also confirmed with Chase.

We were Vanguard investors until recently, let me tell you when you need good customer service they are not your go to company. We ended up having to move all our investments to Schwab as the only way we could access the funds thanks to Wells Fargo debanking us. Totally agree on your thoughts on gambling. However, unfortunately governments enjoy the lobbying by the gaming industry and are addicted to the taxes it raises. We are tracking similar to you on Hyatt this year. If our expected Thailand/Singapore happens in July we should make Globalist again but 2027 is in doubt. Only pushing through this year because we want those suite upgrades to use in Europe in 2027.

BTW have you lost a lot of weight as you are looking very thin?
