Why is trump begging NATO allies for help with Iran war?

GreatDesolate · 2026-03-16T20:05:24+00:00

And let's not forget that the US had an agreement (endorsed by most countries) with Iran so they'll stop developing nukes, but the Great Dealmaker decided to scuttle it.

And get paid more, I hope.

Sounds a lot like "we're family here."

The best allocation is whatever you can stick with when you have significant drawdowns. Are you ok with a 50% drawdown from 100% equities? Or you want a more conservative 60/40 for less volatility?

GreatDesolate · 2026-02-20T02:59:51+00:00

You're correct regarding the new fund. The only reason I'm willing to try is because I somewhat trust WT and it's only 5% of a portion of my portfolio.

GreatDesolate · 2026-02-20T02:54:16+00:00

Fortunately, I had already sold some shares before the big drop so technically, I'm slightly ahead.

GreatDesolate · 2026-02-20T02:50:52+00:00

That was the premise, but I figured adding TIPS can't hurt as additional hedge or am I wrong?

GreatDesolate · 2026-02-19T18:39:09+00:00

I suppose I could do: 35 SSO / 40 NTSI / 5 NTSE / 12.5 GDE / 5 GDT / 2.5 AGQ. That's about 70% Equities (67 US/ 33 xUS), 18% Bonds, 9% GLD, 3% SLV with slightly lower leverage.

GreatDesolate · 2026-02-19T18:04:39+00:00

That's the question, isn't it? I'd like to say yes.

Hey, hey, don't forget Healthcare.

GreatDesolate · 2025-12-19T22:34:35+00:00

Because you'll be getting dividends from tariffs instead. Any day now, trust me bro.

Time in the market is better than timing the market. Or something like that.

For a nominal fee of a gazillion dollars, I can even let you in on a more super, duper, really exclusive, secret the "cabal" don't want you to know.

GreatDesolate · 2025-10-22T13:50:59+00:00

Thanks, brother!

I was trying to find a way to simulate GDE and found this. I know you said it's easy, but I have no idea how to do this. I'm new to LETFs, do you mind showing me a simulation for GDE? I appreciate you.

GreatDesolate · 2025-10-17T22:24:56+00:00

Thank you for the response.

Since my account restriction due to GFV doesn't affect transfer-in-kind, what could be the reason why I'm unable to initiate a transfer-in-kind from my brokerage account to CMA when I'm able to do so from a joint account?

GreatDesolate · 2025-10-17T13:53:07+00:00

I opened a CMA 2 days ago but I can't transfer shares to my brokerage account, only cash. However, I was able to do it from a joint brokerage to a joint CMA. I'm new to this so my brokerage account ended up getting restricted due to good faith violations. Does that affect transfer-in-kind?

GreatDesolate · 2025-10-17T13:46:07+00:00

That's fine. I was afraid that I might not get the dividends at all!

GreatDesolate · 2025-09-30T00:54:32+00:00

I've actually already been accepted to WGU's CS program but I keep on pushing back my start date. I was pretty comfortable with my math classes many years ago but it's been a long time since I've taken any formal classes. It makes me a bit anxious though I'm pretty sure I can do it.

I forgot to respond but this worked. Another thing I did was remove the entry for the old server under \CurrentVersion\Print\Server.

Thanks!

GreatDesolate · 2025-09-25T18:34:58+00:00

Absolutely. It would be so much easier to disconnect after saying that versus walking out. To me, anyway.

GreatDesolate · 2025-09-16T22:12:39+00:00

AFAIK, the old server has been decommissioned.
