  1. What is a good way to diversify OUT of the stock market.  I have way too much tied up in the stock market for somebody who would hope to retire in the next 5 years, give or take.

     

    But, I don't know what else to put it into to balance things out.  CDs and savings bonds seem have to horrible rates.............I don't know crap about real estate.  But, wondering if REITs are a way to get into that?

    I did however pick a stock called Church & Dwight. I was hoping it would tank and I planned to invest just a few thousand. They own Trojan Condoms, and I figured that many women would be telling us to get our corona asses off of and away from them.

     

    Ah, the famous Trojan investment method.  Taught in all your top level MBA programs.

    Betting on himself: Inside Brandon Beane's unlikely rise to Buffalo Bills GM

    Phillips noticed Beane struggling. By basketball season, Phillips knew Beane would need something to keep him busy. So instead of having him sit on the sideline of the varsity games, Phillips had another idea: South Stanly's junior high boys team needed a coach, and Beane was the perfect candidate.

     

    Great story!

    Of course.  It was my soph year on college - '85.  

     

    That's just my own thing when it comes to shows.  My 1st record was the Beatles live at the Hollywood Bowl, which I think came in at 45 minutes. I just like shows that are tight & to the point.

     

    The 3-4 hour show is Bruce's thing, and always has been.  Most fans love it.  27 times is incredible.  

     

    Just curious....what's your favorite record?

     

    One of my first records was also Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl.  That was a great album! 

     

    Put me down for loving it.

     

    It's hard not to go with the masterpiece of Born To Run - 8 great songs..................But, I'd say my favorite is The River, since it was when I was finally totally on board with Bruce and my first Bruce show.  20 songs - about half party rockers and half great ballads.

    It was way back - "Born in the USA" tour @ the Carrier Dome.  I think around '88?

     

    It was just too long. He's a great performer/musician and the band was fantastic, but it went about 2 hours over for me.  

     

    That would have been '85.  I've seen him 27 times, and there have only been 2-3 times where I felt like I had enough early................Most of the time, I just don't want it to end.

    The disinfectant comment is the definition of the dishonesty of the press- he finished with the doctors should look into that. He was not telling people what works but what should be looked at, which the press then intentionally cut off just so they could say what Trump implied.

     

    Without even looking into, I knew this is what happened.  God - I hate those aholes

    She did try to claim she got the Flu Manchu a few weeks ago... even though she was never tested, diagnosed, or treated for it. She *knows* she had it though.

     

    It's amazing that she became not only a climate expert, but also a medical expert... all while skipping high school for the past couple years.

     

     

    OMG - she's unreal.  Glad I missed that!

    Nobody is NAIIVE to ask @bbb why USA fighter jets from NATO Alaska or Thule are pissing off the Russians ..... Iranians are willing to die for their alleged gawd Allah in their territorial waters like David speedboats with sling shots teasing Goliath with destroyers and aircraft carriers 100 feet above their decks martyrs for Mohammed nephew believers.....so TrumpOLINI orders shoot to kill ..... remember PT 109 did not receive a single bullet or Japanese warning shot their Captain just sliced the wood boat in half neatly with their bow stem and left the scene for survivors to swim through burning fuel and debris miles away to island safety

     

    I have no idea what you're rambling about in the rest of this post, but please enlighten me yourself as to why US jets are pissing off the Russians

    there was a good 30 for 30 podcast on Diana Taurasi and sue bird playing overseas in the WNBA offseason. They made a boatload of money playing for a Russian mobster (before he was murdered).

     

    Damn - I hate when that happens!

    Russia is harassing U.S. jets in the Arctic as part of a Putin power play

     

    The Russian president wants to signal that Moscow remains a strategic competitor to Washington and has the ability to attack the U.S. mainland.

    Thanks.  I had just read yesterday about this Russian very deep diving sub that burned up there.  Kinda scary how they can knock out communications down there:
