Supermarket prices rise at fastest rate in more than three years

The consumer-price index reported showed the biggest month-on-month change in food-at-home prices since August 2022. Granted, there may well be some collection anomalies after the BLS missed the October CPI report altogether, which means there was no monthly comparison the last two months.

$10,000 min order from the largest bullion dealer now

I'm still riding Gold (#GLD) and doing well, but have stayed away from Silver. Have missed a lot of upside, but that manipulation over the Holiday's forced me to walk away,

Explaining stock options

 

[bigredfish]

Sold everything yesterday (well sold the last one this morning) for a nice 5% (ok 4.7%) overall gain for the 1st two weeks of January. Completely out of the market.
Now I get to relax for 4 days

It’s a good feeling being well ahead of my goals this early and not having to worry about what sectors Trump may crush between today and Tuesday!

I've been out since March of 2025. All I have are my meager 300% gains that I would have had if not for that lousy boating accident...

This is just my Roth play account(s)
I set a goal of 10% for the year and am almost 1/2 way there!

I enjoy the casino, and playing mostly ETFs and watching it close keeps it relatively safe.

Just had a nagging feeling yesterday and trusted my gut. Had 5 holdings, all but one is down pretty good today so I get to feel smart for a day

Explaining stock options

Love it .. just like some of the AI results I have been getting last year, yet decades earlier !

For a long long time, I kept it at 3rds. Bank, Market, "Other". Last March, because of age and health, and to make it easier for my wife, I pulled everything from the market and changed to 1/2s. Now, with a coming credit score "utopia" and fully understanding that the money you put into a bank is no longer your money, but theirs.......

Same with stonks now actually….
