Such a stunning view, Tom. And those clouds. Nice! Your location is so well deserved. Having lived in Lancaster, CA since 1961, must say the sunsets in the hi desert are breathtaking. So happy for you enjoying your radio ranch. As always, take good care.

This afternoon's headlines (paraphrasing here) include Tesla shareholders approve Musk's $1 trillion pay package and, judge orders Trump admin to fully fund SNAP. As household debt increases the haves treat the have nots with utter disdain! Oh, yeah, America is an exceptional country.

Current administration continues to implement rules to build an oligarchy sustained economy. Big fan of capitalism, however, this is not that model. I sincerely hope last night's election results begins to pull the pendulum back to an affordable and pragmatic center. Left CA 3yrs ago for VA.

Correct! Money is a universal truth. Not buying their products or services is THE most effective way. Pay attention; know the ownership structure. Yes, don't give them any more of your hard earned money.

Appreciate the discussion, Tom. Thank you for your time tonight. Take good care.

Perhaps yes, perhaps. I knocked on doors for Clinton ('93) and Kasich ('16).

Texas' efforts are an anomaly. CA, if successful, should make TX outcome moot. Tom, to your point, unless he's not done and TX was only his first. Trump's approval isn't stable, should decrease more depending on tariff effects and Ukraine outcome. We need adult/thoughtful politicians to step up.

The mid-terms should provide opportunities.

Yes! I know. It was my first time since 1980. This was NOT an easy decision; not at all. Please believe me.

Simply fu*king horrible! Tom, I did not vote for a president this last election. However, did vote for a democrat senator and house republican. Hoping for a divided congress; allowing for discussion and compromise. So much for that idea. I'm disgusted and pissed off with our political class.

Agreed! Or at the very least an individual with demonstrable caliber such as Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin or Paul O'Neill. Neither would tolerate $37 trillion. Current Treasury Sec is not an adult in charge. Be well Tom.

I do as well. Enjoyed Tom's daily dose of common sense. Sprinkled in along the way were discussions re wine, personal finance, interesting stories and great laughs! Fortunately, for all us, Tom's "voice' continues to out shine the daily monotonous discourse and pop commentary. Thank you, Tom!

Great plan, Tom. I'm generally an optimistic person. However, my pessimism grows more each day. This administration is over-the-top unbelievable. Current plan is like yours. Sold high yield bonds, increased treasuries and corp bonds. We remind ourselves to appreciate what we have. Be well, Tom.

ALWAYS! It is best to have a strong dividend fund as a conservative investor. Couldn't agree more Tom. Got to love compounding too. My general rule is to stay away from crypto. Simple speculation IMO. Wishing you great returns and minimal losses. Take good care, Tom. A positive return in 2025??

Glad no worst than 1/3. No crypto & no Musk too. Tech exposure minimized using fundamental S&P.

WOW! Stunning day of wealth destruction: realized & unrealized. Took advantage and purchased a few S&P 500 shares at 2:50 this afternoon. I'm glad we rebalanced in Dec & Jan to a 55/45 fixed income/equities allocation. Tom, how are you doing in the self inflicted chaos? Take good care!

At the consumer retail level substituting Coke and Uber is easy. Unexpectedly this morning I was in need of a ride and I hailed a Lyft! Thanks for the extensive list. On a daily basis this administration proves their absent of economic education/training. Unbelievable!!

Exactly! We must be wise consumers: life offers challenges, learn to deal with each one. Tom's correct!

The road maintenance crew filling pot holes on the bridge deck of the Francis Scott Bridge were immigrants. Working hard. Working the over night shift. These individuals (the two that survived the collapse) should be thanked.
