I get the impression Trump has no clue what’s going on. He’s just just regurgitating bullet points that someone—probably Putin—put in large print on a piece of paper.

Or, gullible.

Putin has no intention of letting the USA have any control over those resources.

I’m starting to get the feeling he wants to be assassinated.

Most parchment paper is recommended for a max of 425F. Be careful if you go higher than that.

Hopefully, it’s exactly like the originals and someone leaks the code.

You’re right. I mistakenly came to conflate ETF with passive.

How so?

Probably, good… for investors. It’s better to invest in ETFs over mutual funds for many/most people. A mutual fund is an investment vehicle in which a manager aggregates a bunch of stocks and sells share in the group of stocks. This limits the risk and ensures more gains but the manager needs to be paid. An ETF is like a mutual fund without a manager, the choice of stocks is done automatically by computer software and tries to track the market (or market segment) as a whole. So, less money is lost to paying fund managers and the software is pretty smart.

History has shown a that, on average, automatically managed funds outperform funds managed by people.

There are a lot of people out there who think they are smarter than the market, including fund managers. They are not. If you have money to invest, like in a IRA or 401k, you should put it in ETFs.

It’s not hard it’s more expensive. Heartworm and flea and tick meds come in treat form.

Are they still in the HIV denial phase? That’s about 40 years behind. The rest of the world has a couple people cured and are close to a vaccine.

Sir Robin al-Assad

I wonder what floor he’s staying on.

And Juice, Cotton, Rummy, Sloe, Fizz…etc.

Evangelicals right now:

You don’t have to deny that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization to call these attacks terrorism.

• Hezbollah is a terrorist organization
• Israel is committing acts of terrorism in Lebanon

Both of these statements can be true.

How is setting off little bombs amongst a civilian population not terrorism?

All bagels are baked. They are boiled before they are baked but they are definitely baked.

They don’t have or want to take Russia as a whole or even significant part. If they push the frontline east into Russia they may force Russia to give up control of parts of Ukraine in order to defend.

If they do this enough, they can start negotiating trade of land. If Putin refuses to trade Russian land for Russian-occupied Ukraine, it won’t look good to Russians.

They should build a school while they’re there to make a point.

Well, now I know why people hate the Dutch.
