The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Called up the broker that holds my IRA today, to make my RMD. He commented on the stack of cash. I said "uncertainty". We old phartz know, there are times when return of capital, is more important than retorn on capital.

For instance, what's up with Iran, and the war? We know that the majority of Dem incumbents are on the Israeli payroll. The other Michigan Dem Senator, Elissa Slotkin, has pocketed between $400K and $500K from the Israel lobby.

Now that our chance to hold politicians accountable has passed, they have a free hand, for the next two years. Is there still a bipartisan majority of Israeli slaves willing to look the other way, while the war goes on?

Then there is the AI debt bomb.
