Im running two different AV systems and a firewall appliance with IPS and I'm not seeing it

You're likely seeing something like this
PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

Its because the website itself isnt live. I have no idea the owner, but trust that X has way better security than you or I

Yeah Weird, I saw this yesterday too, what is also weird is it only pops up on page 109 of this thread...so it must be something on that page, some preview site...not thinking an X post...

Buffet? Warren? :) What's he doing, lol

I know AVG has many issues, like other Antivirus programs.
 
Think I found it:

Every time I scroll past this post I get it.

Wow, got me thinking, I have Previews turned Off in Outlook for emails to stop Malware, maybe having Previews On here on this Forum is not a good idea?
 
It’s a bogus alert. I’d allow it and forget it.
The site isn’t even accessible, probably use it to just and push out reports.

The Buffett indicator is a well known finance trigger /theory. I know nothing about that site. AVG being aggressive

They’re taking it down hard.
Sold my #GLD ETF holdings yesterday after the big move at about 3:45. after taking a small beating the day before.
One of the few times I actually made a good call on selling!

Had held it for 5 weeks and have a nice roughly 20% profit.

Had intended to let it ride up to $5000 but I no longer have the stomach for wild daily swings. Back to a Schwab MM and boring VTHRX. At least my sleep will improve

LOL we did in 2007! Sold in summer of ‘22 and came out very well. But watching the value go down 50% in 2009-2011 was sobering

Except you copied the current bracket chart. The 2026 chart is further down on the page. I got caught by the same thing, the headline says "new" brackets then the first thing they show is the old/current brackets.

good catch man--- I added the 2026 chart to that reply-- interesting comparison.
 
So I know I have brought this up before, probably a couple of times, but did not get the answer planted in my head. The wife and I filing jointly are in the 12% tax bracket. Our kids, well 2 out of 3 are in the 32% bracket.

We had a CD mature in the wife's IRA this month, we are thinking of pulling it out and paying the taxes on it, actually would like to do the same with all the money in the IRA over time. Why? If, big If, we only are taxed at 12-22%, we are thinking it is lower than what our kids would have to pay if/when they have to drain the IRA, unless they are retired when we pass. On my Dad's IRA I have 10 years to fully drain it...a spouse would not have to...

But I remember when I posted this same question awhile back someone's reply saying the amount taxed from an IRA is different than regular income tax...just can't find the post...we may need to consult an CPA...

What we are realizing, a traditional IRA, has the same investment opportunities as normal monies outside an IRA. If it were liquid, taxes paid, just thinking it would be better for the kids. But may be wrong...
