    HELOC to pay off mortgage

    RE tax law can be complicated. Best to "know what you're doing" with assets so large.

    HELOC to pay off mortgage

    You need to be really current on the tax laws. (They often change*... any time some politico wants to "do something" to attract the votes of a certain group.) At one time (don't know if it still is the case), you could deduct the interest on your 1st mortgatge, but could not deduct the...

    Colorado National Popular Vote compact to cast all electoral votes for popular winner

    Our DemoCrap state legislature and governor are presuming the Dems will win the popular vote in all future presidential elections... if for no other reason than their resolve to "lie and cheat as much as necessary" to make it so. If I didn't have deep roots here, I'd flee this "Californicated...

    New Green Deal

    Just as I was told when I was a kid... "Children should be seen and not heard." College students are still children in the ways of the world. They don't have enough life experience to even have a valid opinion, let alone vote. (Not to mention their brainwashing, of course.) And the Dems have...

    HELOC to pay off mortgage

    It's a ridiculous notion. The only issue is the "time value/cost of money" (interest rate on the loan). If your HELOC is at a lower rate than your mortgage (unlikely), then perhaps you should do it.... assuming you can meet the payments. Tax laws can weigh in. If you want to pay your...

    Hey Democrats, you created Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, now you have live with her

    Actually, it's the American people. The Constitution is not out-dated, but has become a relic due to its principles having been ignored so long that government pays it little heed now. America is going FULL COMMIE... only possibly to be averted if we have a 2nd Revolutionary War. :(

    The 6 essential cons that define Trump’s success

    Doubt we can have that, regardless. The "parasitic tit sucking Lefties" NEED the rest of us to provide "involuntary financial" support. BTW... just how did we get into this divided condition? I say it was a few power-hungy Lefties who promoted the notion, "It's not fair that somebody has more...

    How America’s Dictatorship Works

    The objective of big government everywhere... is just like the Communist party in the former USSR. That is... (1) Only a few benefit in a big way. In the Soviets' case, it was the politcal elite and the 10% or so "higher up party members", and (2) everybody else works to support the #1s. We...

    21 fake hate crimes perpetrated by the left since Trump took office

    Classic Lefty propaganda... "Accuse the other side of what YOU are doing".

    This is a LOT of computer for $600... looking for a new trading rig or upgrade?

    The HP Z440 supports the E5-16xx and E5-26xx CPUs. Some in the "26" line are 8 core and much faster.

    The 6 essential cons that define Trump’s success

    Washington Post... typical Leftist rag. "...Fear of a fascist future is what led me to write my new dystopian novel, “America 2034: Utopia Rising,” a spinoff of “1984” set in Trump’s nightmarish fifth term as President for Life. The story opens by describing how Trump declares his second state...

    Stamps.Com

    If the company's "major product" is (1) buying USPS stamps/shipping at wholesale, then (2) selling the same to the public at retail, how much profit margin could there be? How much of a multiple would be justified? Seems much of the "market" works the same. So long as the "Fed has got this"...

    Uh, yeah. Ouch! So much for "trading on funamentals". :)

    No news about a stock split? Looking at the chart, it could be bearish. That kind of thing happens in bear markets.

    Arizona Bill Forces People To Submit DNA... And Pay For It

    How much more "Big Brother" can we get? Next thing you know, you'll be required to install video cameras in your bedroom and bathroom. :(

    Sig Sauer Unveils The MPX Copperhead

    Considering its effective range and cost, it's almost stupid. I'd be surprised if it were anything other than a huge flop. The more I ponder it, the more I'm astonished that Sig would even go to the effort to produce such a weapon... for that price, especially. But I'm not really into "cool"...

    Check out these temps we've had in FL this week.

    Gee... Florida sounds like climate Heaven... with its "2-months" of good weather. Missouri has only 1.

    Sig Sauer Unveils The MPX Copperhead

    It's rather more a bastardized carbine/pistol than anything else.... fires 9mm pistol round through a 3" barrel. My Taurus Millennial G2 does that for <$200. (Isn't that the "meat and potatoes"? The rest is all bells and whistles.) Starting at $1,600, that's a lot of loot for the "cool" factor.
