It proves our central bank is printing fake money, lot's of fake money. Today's DXY: 92.18 -0.19 -0.21%

The folks that bought Hertz after the bankruptcy weren't efficient in my mind. Up 5X in a day wasn't it? I believe the market is mixed. Some parts of it may be efficient, much of it is emotional and computer algorithms driven. All those new traders on RobinHood aren't "fully knowledgeable." And...

4. If you pass a flight instructor review course you don't have to repeat the ground portion of the flight review. However, I can't imagine getting in an airplane with another pilot, much less a student, without some preflight discussion.

I think the suggestion to join a club is a good one. See if you can get some time riding with others. Consider buying a cheap aviation frequency receiver and sitting at the airport listening to the tower and ground frequencies (at different times). Save your money until you can get at least five...

Thanks, should have said running 10 on a 64bit machine with a Nividia card. Sort of sounds like the consensus is Xplane

I want to work at recovering my instrument skills. I haven't flow IFR in 10+ years. I want a very basic round dial, always IMC flight sim. Preferably with a stick since I haven't flown a yoke in 10 years and don't see my self doing it anytime soon, except for the 172 that I'll use for flight...

Make sure you understand the market, get a good agent, and hope the force is with you. Even with a good agent, you will spend a lot of time managing repairs and maintenance between tenants. Paying someone to do that is probably a good way to forego a chance at profits. My wife has three condos...

About 60 years ago my Econ 211 prof said: "Economic profit is directly related to risk." Nothing about hard work. Work is a trade of time for money and you only have so much time. You can change the price of your time and to some extent the amount of time you are willing to sell. Comparing the...

You know, there a pilots with 50 hours, pilots with 1,000 hours, and pilots with 50 hours of experience 20 times. The last group seem to be most willing to tell people what to do and how to do it...

I respect your decision to limit yourself to your standards. I have mine. This taken from your post makes the above a little strange: "but I think the OP was the clueless one" Sort of implies that I should live by your standards; since I don't I'm clueless. I fly taildraggers and prefer grass...

lots of assumptions. I’m not debilitated, but I am fragile. I am at risk of breaking one of titanium rods in my back. Having done that once, I will avoid the additional surgery when possible. The Taperwing, like all the variations of the Waco 10 is hard to get in and out of. No harder or easier...

I guess you missed this part of post 11: "I had a major back fusion last year. Supposed to limit myself to 30 pound lift, several other restrictions. Getting in and out of a Taperwing is not easy, so not really an option." BTW, I would love to see you "hop out" of a Taperwing.

I had a major back fusion last year. Supposed to limit myself to 30 pound lift, several other restrictions. Getting in and out of a Taperwing is not easy, so not really an option. I did think about pulling in front of him, aim the tail back and lean for full power. The joy of a taildragger. But...

I wanted to fly my Waco Taperwing this morning but I needed fuel. So I flew to the nearest airport. Called for the fuel truck, no answer so I taxied to the self serve pump. Note I am in a black open cockpit biplane and it’s 88 outside, the humidity is high and the sun is hot. Get to the pumps...

It turns out I do have a recommendation after all. Read some of Ray Dalio's work, a lot of it is free at principles.com. If the name doesn't ring a bell, he started Bridgewater, the largest hedge fund in the world and made himself a billionaire in the process. If you have an IOS device download...

I have no idea what tomorrow holds. I personally am not panicked, and don't have any answers, except diversify, diversify, diversify. A little of this and little of that. An interesting bit of history from one of my paid subscriptions is that when five ounces of gold buys the Dow you should buy...

Although, I might give it a different definition, "Late Stage Capitalism" might be as good a description as any of where we are. The Fed is helping those with substantial equity ownership and screwing the 90% who don't have enough to really benefit. Poorly run companies are not allowed to fail...

Probably same reason Hertz stock still has value. Boeing will get bailed out however. Now that we have accepted MMT and given money to Carnival and the airlines, why not. The Fed will buy their stock as soon as Congress approves that process.

I bought an MG TD for right at $25K, before I had it converted to wire wheels. Nice driver, not a show car. Unfortunately major back fusion means I can't easily get in, and my wife (for whom I bought it) doesn't like the lack of power brakes. So it mostly sits. Really need to sell it, but I...

Timing, or not timing, depends largely on your time horizon. Those who remained invested in 1929 watched down to an 80% or so loss in 1932. They broken even in 1945 as I understand it. I've never invested in a "market" so I've never timed it. I have sold some stocks and bought others in...
