  1. DJT is included in the Russell 1000 and 3000 indexes. I’m certain Vanguard and Blackrock’s holdings relate to index ETF/funds required to hold the shares.
  2. Watched Shot Caller last night with Jamie Lannister, Shane from TWD and Michael Weston. It was a riveting watch. Seeing how he had to adapt to survive in prison and its implications to him and his family. Just an excellent movie. Im really surprised that it was released in 2017 and I was completely unaware this movie existed until last month.
  3. He doesn’t use deodorant at all. Probably smells like the Metro in Paris in August.
  4. If federal law prohibits using Arlington as a political prop, what’s the penalty?
  5. Any thoughts on using a 6 man rotation when none of your starters go 6 innings? I understand why they moved to a 6 man given Verlander is coming back from injury, Spaghetti’s inning load, etc. However, they are absolutely going to burn through this bullpen and it’s already close to being on fumes.
  6. Peña’s fly ball reminded me that I have fond memories of the right-centerfield wall in Citizens Bank.
  7. You think Singelton is some kind of defensive wizard at 1B or do you want someone else to DH entirely?
  8. Caratini should be as good defensively as Singleton and the Astros would lose the DH if Diaz is hurt during the game and Caratini has to come in and catch from the DH spot.
  9. Interesting- Espada has figured out it’s better to have Caratini at 1B and Singleton at DH if Diaz is injured during the game.
  10. My son and I watched Alien and Aliens yesterday and then went to see Romulus today. It was great. They nailed the horror movie in space vibe from the Alien. David Jonsson was incredible as Andy. Looking forward to the Alien TV show coming out on Hulu next year.
  11. Gamel knows how to bunt!
  12. Wrong team goes Wide Right
  13. Fucking Espada - Put Caratini at 1B and play Whitcomb in LF. Chas’ time as an Astro should be over.
  14. I’m struggling to link from my phone. I’m looking at Senate Finance Committee website and the press release with the legislative text was released on 11/30/23.
  15. There is a more recent proposal which includes 2 triggers - being a billionaire or earning greater than $100 million. Either test needs to be met for 3 years in a row.
  16. Just a couple of notes: 1. There is a 116 page legislative proposal which was released by Sen. Wyden and other co-sponsors which actually does provide the details behind this idea. 2. The annual mark-to-market rule and resulting tax applies to “Tradeable Covered Assets” which include publicly traded assets, assets readily traded in secondary markets (historically this definition has captured certain derivatives and non-publicly traded debt instruments), assets traded on online marketplaces which match buyers/sellers (crypto), and assets for which the Treasury Secretary determines a reasonable basis exists to annually value an asset. Obviously this last category is the key item for the Koch family, etc. 3. Non-tradeable Assets are covered by a separate provision in the bill. These assets aren’t subject to the annual mark-to-market rules and gain will be taxed when the asset is sold. However, there is an interest charge applied to this tax to account for the “deferral” period of the gain. Tax and the interest charge is limited to a maximum of 49% on any gain. This provision is generally intended to cover privately-owned businesses.
  17. THAT’s MY PRESIDENT!!!!
  18. I like this Gamel guy!
  19. I think most of the Big 4 has significantly reduced pension benefits for new partners.
  20. I’ve heard that it will likely be back sometime in the fall. Hopefully that’s true as that was an excellent burger.
  21. This is a great thread. Like the OP, I always thought the common wisdom was waiting as long as possible before drawing your social security benefits. I just ran my numbers and at best, I break even at 84 (assuming a 4% return and no COLA) by waiting until 65 to take benefits. Unless you know you’re living into your 80s, it feels like an easy answer to start pulling the cash at 62 and investing it.
