Jim Bauer Once we get back to full on grilling season, and provided I can find a good deal on ground beef, we will have burgers on the menu as well. For dinner I just made a chicken stir-fried rice dish. Good eats!

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (41746) 12 Mar

Has the Trump Stock Market affected you directly?

The Horse @TheHorse (224366) • Walnut Creek, California 10 Mar

When Donald Trump was "elected" president in 2024, I started rotating some of my retirement savings into Fixed Income funds that are not exposed to the stock market. Right now they yield about 4.5 percent, which is fine for me....

Jim Bauer No. It has not. And the simple answer to that is because I have not sold into the selloff. In fact, I've been adding shares and will continue to do so. New millionaires come from down markets, not up markets typically. Because the markets go on sale. I made my...

Open those egg cartons before buying them!

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (41746) 10 Mar

If I am egg shopping, years of experience have taught me that I should open the carton to check if any are cracked or smashed a bit. I've always done that. My son has a friend who runs a local chain grocery store here. He called...

Jim Bauer Whenever prices of something get ridiculously high, it leads to massive theft. Remember the Obama years when gas was tickling $5 a gallon and people started stealing gas? That's where all this pre-pay came from. In any event, I have ALWAYS checked cartons and...

How soon before "the red hats" start claiming they have never made so much money in the stock market?

Mark-Paul @MarkPaul (217) 10 Mar

PREDICTION: As trump's policies crash the stock market (and the economy), rather than confess to his incompetence, "the red hats" will claim they are making money hand-over-fist, that they are buying an abundance of eggs...

Jim Bauer Clearly you don't understand how the markets work. The most number of new millionaires from the stock market come from DOWNTURNS, not upswings, because the broad markets go on sale. I am not saying I enjoy the downturns. I am simply saying, they offer the...

Jim Bauer Burger King is one of those fast food places that continually struggles to "catch on." I think part of their issue is that they are missing the two key points hurting their business. Quality and service and store appearance. Part of THAT comes from allowing...
