    MALA and your money

    A chink in my streaming service investments may present itself with the 100% tariff on movies made abroad. What a strange thing to apply a tariff to, and how will it function or how will they track that?

    Textured Spray Paint on a Rifle Stock

    I'm not a gunsmith, but I used epoxy to repair a rotted window sill, filled holes in my aluminum screen porch, and my proudest accomplishment was an outdoor wood door. The stuff I like the most is a clay-like epoxy. In the video below, this guy used aquaglass:

    Mystery Ranch no more?

    Yes. EXO Mountain gear, while expensive, continues to punch above its price point. They stated they will never sell out to large corporations or holding companies. Also, their podcast continues to shine with no ads, and they refuse to accept payment for gear promotions. I love their feedback...

    January Inflation

    Neat to know there is an entire economic universe out there that gambles (sorry - ‘speculates’) on what interest rates (and other things) will or won’t do.

    January Inflation

    I concur, no economist may ever admit that. While the current administration (Trump) is currently boasting of income from tariffs for temporary spin/soundbites, the others, like Bessent (same goal, but more measured), describe the boring, long goal of no tariffs, fairer trade, and alludes to...

    January Inflation

    swap markets?!… my head really hurts now. Just did some reading on this. I’m shocked that I just learned about it and how big of a deal they are. Do normal people know about them? 😆

    January Inflation

    Is it possible the fed may associate high tariffs as an equivalent or similar impact as raising rates? Edit: Iow, would high tariffs be a factor that entices Powell to lower interest rates? Is this apples to apples, or oranges?

    January Inflation

    Is there any substance to rendering the jobs data to resolve those from the public vs private sector?

    January Inflation

    I think you're right. That's likely why 'T' is pushing the Fed to hurry up and lower rates even though they didn't hit the 2% benchmark.

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    When another bottom hits, I plan to double down on TMFC as a replacement to my portion in SP500 index etfs. I’ve been a subscriber for over 15 years and beat the markets every year from my collective, individual stock picks as a DIY investor based on Motley Fool recommendations. These rec’s...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    That is an excellent objection. In short, tariffs are the tool the US is using to 'balance trade'. The stated intent is to get others to lower their tariffs on us; leverage removal of bans against our products, negotiate purchase of more US products, and (as they said) leverage changes in labor...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    With Elon's lower-than-expected cuts through DOGE, it makes me wonder how many red hands were in that pot, too. Perhaps the next administration will expose it all and have their own version of reciprocal mayhem.

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Yes. GDP went down first time since 2022 due to increased imports. Based on the average length of time trade deals take (18 mos), the US has a long road. If economic news continues to deteriorate, midterm results will shift power and could further hamstring the current administration's...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Growing pains for the tallest people hurt the most. Difficult for short people to understand.

    What tent to buy

    I mostly agree with this, but I've experienced a ditch on both sides of comfortable camp set-ups. The stove in my 8-man SO makes waking up on cold mornings easier and helps so I don't have to crack the whip as much anymore. If I feel like I'm 'trying to survive', I'm tempted to stay in the bag...

    Cutsom Turret Scope questions

    Kenton's awesome. Yes. They will make custom turrets for almost any scope, except counterfeit ones.

    January Inflation

    You’re right. I have this quality where I start with good intentions, gather information, and screw it up with an unfair claim from the top rope. I could have defended my comments by saying it is offensive to think and offensive to accept truth, but that in itself is unfair and passive...

    January Inflation

    Yes, Biden attacked Yemen, too. He sent billions of dollars to Ukraine and stuck his head in the sand. It's almost like they were waiting for Trump to win the election so they could avoid being blamed for starting WWIII. The current administration continues to push peace at all costs, but...
