I'm waiting to see what Boeing's offering price is.

It's strictly a personal decision. I've owned DUK and XOM for quite some time. Are they ethical? By and large they are. Have they cheated? Yes at times. Compare that to DJT. Is the company ethical?

Having used Workday which is cloud based for several years; unless you have enough horsepower behind it people will experience the same slowness especially in the morning when people are logging in.

We had a large presence in CA and around 11 every day I'd go out for coffee as the system slowed to a crawl.

Sorry but my money has a conscience. I wouldn't own that stock if they were handing it out for free on 5th Ave in front of Trump Tower.

Finally VFC pays off for me.

Ask Cramer.

I bless myself immediately afterwards.

It's the mere drive to succeed which drives people. GS used to have a program that if you worked for them they's make you a millionaire.

Unless he is on a road to becoming a partner in the firm he'll only be another worker bee.

I'm sure more prayers are said on a golf course on Sundays than in church.

That was posted elsewhere recently. It would be curious to see his trading when he was young.

If your son was good colleges would have shopped him.

You know exactly what I am referring to so don't play stupid with me. TRV and C started the collapse in 2008 after they conned Congress to repeal Glass Steagal.

Sure they have recovered and so has C but shareholders paid a dear price for it.

I bought C at a buck. It was a no brainier trade.

If you stayed in the market in 2008 you gave money back.

Currently there is no place in the lineup for the Martian. That has already been tried in the regular season and led to naught. I can see using Trevino however.

But the problem is the Yankees simply are not scoring runs as proven by the number left on base.

Going into NYC and insulting Latinos and Puerto Ricans isn't the way to win their votes. Trump should try going to Spanish Harlem and holding a rally there.

Sellers are clearly marked as being a Prime shipper or otherwise you wait.

Bezos has no interest in preserving journalism. He is a lot like Musk. Both bought shiny toys and basically ruined them.

I'm keeping Prime and dumping the Post.

. The board would still be composed of rich people.

Most boards are. But the family would still have controlled the direction of the paper overall. Same with the WSJ.

Bezos put his wallet before his newspaper.

I'm in a similar boat. Everything is paid for and I've replaced everything in the house as well. I do have my eye on a black 911 Porsche. Do I need it? No. Do I want it? Hell yes.

Bringing Cortes in was Boone's 3rd mistake in the game. It was a game the Yankees should not have lost.

I'm the same. When ever I cook I know exactly the pots and pans I'm going to use.

Bezos is no fool. NASA needs 2 players in space and one is Musk. You can forget Boeing which leaves Bezos.

Sure its fair. Both the Post, WSJ and NYT were privately owned. Only the NYT's family sought to maintain control and at the same time took the company public and it has paid off handsomely. NYT

The Post and WSJ owners sold out to the highest bidders and I'm sure they now suffer from seller's remorse.

I'm sure the SEC will be looking at the trading. Seems they are selling more stock than caviar. .

The Post used to be a great paper and so was the WSJ. This is what happens when the previous owners take the money and run.

He really should take the paper public and let the board manage the paper. But he is too proud to admit he screwed up by not doing that when he bought the paper.

The paper is a cash bleed for Bezos so he fired the CEO and hired someone to make it profitable. I think he's on his 3rd CEO now and editor in chief. The decision not to endorse was not left up to the paper and it was his call. He is worried about alienating Trump if he wins.

Bezos dumped the previous editor and hired a guy from England who didn't last long.

The whole paper is in disarray.

Palmer gave the commencement address when my niece graduated from WFU. What Trump said about Palmer was appalling.

Poor Tucker is suffering from sacrificial lamb syndrome. So he has decided to go all in for the other side.

So I take it this is going to go unanswered.

Shelly can't answer it. You can't answer it So I guess it is only happening to me. I need to see if I can kill it in my pop-up blocker.

Well now you know what you're looking forward to.

It's the year you turn 73 for me next year. And remember it is the minimum amount you have to take but each year it increases every year since it also factors in life expectancy. Meaning the IRS wants all the tax before you pass.

The rule of thumb is the 4% rule each year.
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/four-percent-rule.asp

I'm taking 5% since we're both on SS now and it is our only income. If you have more than one IRA like my wife you just add the 2 together to come up with the RMD.

AARP has a formula here to calc the RMD.

We met with Fidelity this week and my wife is overloaded on IRAs thanks to her pension. We're going to start rolling them to a Roth and pay the tax now since she is 6 years younger. Just a matter of how much we want to pay IRS each year. lol.

I'm not sure why you persist on the topic. I have witnessed first hand what a dog goes through when they are having the quills removed from their cheeks. I suggest you Google dogs with quills and perhaps you'll understand why they don't mix. Dogs are naturally inquisitive and lead with their nose.

Somebody needs to wake up Nicklaus and confirm if its true about Palmer.
