Bernie proposes and Mitch disposes, of course this might change come next year.
Re your previous post, since the market bottom on March 23, $RSP is up 51.3% and the $SPY is up 49.96%. The rally from the bottom is broad based, for now.
S&P listed contrary information as of 7/31/2020

The ebony line is RSP, the scarlet line is SPY.
OK, point made.

Typical leftists who have never run a business or created a single job (or even held a productive job in lazy Commie Bernie’s case).
They think these successful businessmen are sitting there with billions is cash.
And don’t think they won’t be coming after your money next.

Sad to see so many wage slaves being apologists for their masters

There are a$$holes everywhere, and some of them rise to the top. But there are a lot of really good people out there too, including a lot of powerful people with important responsibilities. Racket and mas are wrong to generalize about mining, although I understand where the sentiment comes from. My work exposes me to people in many different industries and business sectors. The company I work for is lucky enough to be choosy about its clients and we mostly avoid the a-holes. It’s not that hard to tell the difference between them and the genuinely good people, in my experience.
I'm sure there's some good ones out there if someone took time and effort to research it and make a smart investment.

Total bs. While NPR pushed its agenda of the racialization of identity through stories on the new black air force chief of staff and the improbability of an Indonesian making to to the US, Hannity was mired in the cherrypicking those campaign promises upon which Trump has delivered, while conveniently ignoring those he has not, such as debt/deficit reduction.
It’s truly wondrous that some people take these things seriously, for their specific content.
That's not a fair assessment of NPR. They have a lot of different programs and in my opinion their interviewers are the best in the business. Yes, they run goofy stories like that sometimes. I personally don't like Zorba's dumb show. But their news reporting and interviews are quite good.
I also like Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, although they have the funny contestants on less and less these days. This American Life is another good one, and in fact I recently listed to one about a girl in a mostly African American church coming to terms with a sort of racism or prejudice she had against white people.

Happy to report that Iceland is taking the pandemic VERY seriously, trying to keep their low counts that way. Masks are rare, but distancing is taken VERY seriously, and everyone has to be tested on entry. We got our clean test results emailed about 16 hours after arrival.
I would encourage anyone who enjoys travel to do it now. We’ve been to Italy, France, Finland and Iceland over the last month, and tourists are barely more numerous than unicorns. There has been a real thinning of the small business herd everywhere, with many store fronts shuttered or advertised for lease, but also with many businesses that have figured out how to function with civil restrictions that seem to be thriving.
I'm surprised Iceland is doing all that since their economy is like 90% tourism of Instagram thots from the US.

hah
I've talked to a dozen people who go there...they all hated it. Tourist trap, everything is bad, the locals really don't want you there, prices are ridiculous.
But yes, if you get away from people the landscape is amazing.

fact is, for younger generations, the US is barely a majority white nation.
When older white people listen to NPR and complain about media focus on stories about race...they are showing that they are still living in an America that was 80% white.
If the TIPS ETF closes down today it would be just the third day it has fallen over the last 25 days. plus or minus a day or two
inflation expectations seem to be building.
a growing economy plus all this stimulus plus a fallen dollar has to get to inflation right?

So some companies are up, some are flat, and the rest are down. Great insight.
Not really, but interpret it the way you want Johnny.

Agip once again you have missed the point entirely—and it’s not because of any inarticulation on my part. The racialization of identity, to the exclusion of other dimensions thereof, is independent of social racial composition. The popular conception is identity politics, which is an imprecise term.
In point of fact I grew up in Toronto, the world’s largest refugee camp—including my entire family. European, Caribbean, Indian, Asian, British, African, Chinese/Thai, Japanese, Aussi, Iranian, whatever. It was an absolute, total, complete mix. The “diversity” in the US is nothing compared to how I grew up. Nothing.
You have shown that you are conditioned, entirely within the system. You have done nothing other than express the same conditioned attitude that was reinforced in the NPR segments I heard.
If you can’t see this, we should probably stick to stock talk.

for the record, you annoy me as much as I apparently annoy you.
Yep ISL is a tourist trap. We have some local connections so we are accepted, but honestly, they’re weird, insular people. Most of the guys LOVE to drink, and it can be tough to visit. The weather almost always sucks, and stuff is insanely expensive.
But you don’t annoy me, agip. I’m not out to change you in any way, you are who you are, pretty much the same as anybody else. When there is essentially no opportunity for a real discussion, like on a board like this, I don’t think it’s worth trying, because tbh it’s just not that important. We have found enough common interest to be fine, as far as I’m concerned.
I actually find it somewhat informative that you should be annoyed by my having made some observations.
Gold funds hammered while DXY spikes, nice inverse correlation to justify the hedge. Waiting for more action in the dollar before I convert a good chunk to either EUR, CHF, or both.

My wife really wanted to go Iceland until the Real Housewives of Orange County went there. The clincher was when Vicki Gundlavsen had a panic attack. :-)
