    It looks like you survived the Clintons and Biden okay. 

     

    It also looks like you are worrying about nothing.

     

    As for surviving Trump, he contributed to the deaths of one million Americans from COVID. 

    You mean when he tried to shut down flights from China and was attacked from the left? 

     

    Or when he expedited the development of the vaccines Biden took credit for?

    I still haven’t got a clue what you are banging on about.

     

    Saudi Arabia and Israel are in close agreement on Turkish interventions in the Middle East.

     

    UAE and Israel armed forces conduct joint operations.

     

    Netanyahu played a pivotal role in Qatari aid to Hamas.

     

    So please tell us what point you are trying to make.

    That’s what I thought, thanks!

    Indeed with Qatar who also funds Hamas being a major one although I'm sure Qatar will deny being anti Israel

     

    Qatar’s ties to US universities scrutinised amid rise in antisemitism

    Qatar has emerged as the largest foreign donor to US universities, contributing $5.1bn since 1986

    In the wake of October 7, scrutiny of Qatar’s relationship with Hamas and the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood has intensified.

    Texas A&M University last month announced that it would close the satellite campus it established in Doha in 2003. The university cited “regional instability” for its decision, but it has also faced unwanted publicity since October 7 about its patron’s ties to Hamas.

     But that’s just the Qatari leadership, the Qatari people actually love Israel, it’s the Qatari people that love Israel that donate to universities in the US.

    or is there some other relevance to you question?

     

    If you are going to claim they are not anti-Israel, then putting effort into showing their donations is pointless. 

     

    Even once it’s show. to be true, you’ll just excuse it and claim it does not affect the coursework the university offers.

    Thanks, but my questions were not about the advantages of 3 fund portfolio but the disadvantages of holding more. I currently hold 12 funds comprising 60% equities, 22% bonds and 18% money market and cash. Im 50% tracker and 50% global managed funds but rather than have a single global tracker I've gone for regional trackers. That means I can switch in and out of regions without having to rebalance the entire portfolio. Cases in point, the US has been good but EM is in the doldrums, India has been excellent but China is a dog. I'm starting to become very comfortable with things but I'm not quite there yet.

    The wheels never fall off until your comfortable…

    Perhaps if members of Congress are investigating the funding of universities and of those engaging in protests against the war in Gaza, their own sources of funding ought to be examined:

     

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/jan/10/congress-member-pro-israel-donations-military-support

    So members of congress that support Israel get more funding from Israel than those that support Hamas. 

     

    Where’s Alvin Bragg, there has to be another Trump indictment in that somewhere…

    There’s a reason for that Einstein. You’re probably always speeding. Most people are. I drive at or even well under speed limits because it saves up to 30% on gas which I’ve discussed before on these forums. Trust me… cops stop people for “radar” violations when they are not in fact speeding. How can we get this far in life and not realize these are shakedowns. They don’t care about safety, they don’t care about speeding, they care about lining pockets with roadside cash. 

    What is the reason for that Newton, given I quit getting stopped when I quit speeding?

     

    Wat that you doing 60 in the right lane? Why buy a car when you can’t afford to put gas in it? Hey, get you a BYD EV, they’re really really cheap and cost almost nothing to drive.

    You’ve obviously never been stopped at one of these. They repeat the word “radar” to you over and over again but there are no radar guns in sight. And they might even change your infraction once you have a couple of questions about the “radar”

    I’ve been here almost 25 years, an in that time I’ve probably driven a million Km, and I have been stopped countless times. I think I have only been stopped once when I might not have been speeding or whatnot. 

     

    Actually, I used to get stopped regularly, but since I quit speeding and changing lanes too close to the intersection and cutting across solid lines, it stopped.

     

    Coincidence?
