For those watch aficionados & you notice the French Open Press spotting @fp_journe Tourbillon Souverain 18K 6N gold case topped off with a black dial & a white main time subdial,a sub-seconds display, a power reserve indicator below 12 o’clock, & a tourbillon at 9 o’clock. Woof.
@zerosandohs@guimarin If he has an age based distribution in Indiana then the distribution becomes marital property. Also, say $3 million in annual income from trust? How is that protected without a prenup?
@MrNQDC argument is to focus on return side of the equation and your risk profile. You can lose a lot of return over few basis point fee difference. Leverage fee quotes from firms to negotiate but don’t necessarily choose lowest fee.Indexing chasing lower fees was losing game last 5 yrs.
@MrNQDC The fee drag doesn’t take into account the value from advisory fee results that exceed the index. Three years Oct 25 SP 500 22.68 & Advisor 29.62 with five years SP 500 17.64 & Advisor 21.29. The portfolio is up 6 x from 12 years ago & growing while active managing the portfolio
@MrNQDC Over 5 years, say a 30 million portfolio. the fees:
*4 bps index fee: about $77,000–$80,000 total or
*38 bps advisory fee: about $850,000–$900,000 total
Even after higher advisory fee, higher advisor return would have produced approximately $10.4 million more wealth over 5 year
@FranWalsh73 Over 5 years, 30 million portfolio. the explicit fees:
*4 bps index fee: about $77,000–$80,000 total
*38 bps advisory fee: about $850,000–$900,000 total
Even after higher advisory fee, higher return would have produced approximately $10.4 million more wealth over 5 year period.

@ungemeve Never forget the two boys in their underwear — one with his eye socket hanging out of his face — asking his brother whether he thinks they're going to die, while the Hamas monster who had just thrown a grenade in their saferoom helps himself to a drink from their fridge.
A while ago, I watched the infamous 47-minute video documenting the atrocities of October 7th — the one not made publicly available, to protect the privacy of the victims.
The worst part of this video is not what it displays, but who is displaying it: the perpetrators themselves. Gleefully. Sadistically. Unabashedly. Most of the footage was filmed by Hamas terrorists on their GoPro bodycams, some also by ordinary Gazan civilians on their cellphones.
Even the Nazis tried to cover up their atrocities, but Hamas brags about theirs for the entire world to see. The killers are euphoric throughout the massacre, and their relentless, ecstatic cries of "Allahu Akbar" (punctuated by the occasional "Kill the Jew!") are simply nauseating.
Some images are seared into my memory forever. I will never forget the two boys in their underwear — one with his eye socket hanging out of his face — asking his brother whether he thinks they're going to die, while the Hamas monster who had just thrown a grenade in their saferoom helps himself to a drink from their fridge, taking a casual break from the slaughter.
Neither will I ever forget the terrorists playing football with a severed head. Or the Thai migrant worker whose head is viciously hacked off with a garden hoe — another "Zionist colonizer" getting what he deserved, right?https://t.co/JvfJEtk8LA
Or the throngs of Gazans crowding around pickup trucks loaded with the mutilated corpses of Jewish women, filming and spitting on the bodies. Or the woman in Kibbutz Mefalsim, crouching and begging in vain for mercy.
There is some evidence of sexual violence in the video — the charred corpse of a young woman with her legs splayed and her genitals exposed — but not much. Apparently even Hamas draws a line somewhere: they are not as proud of raping Jewish women as they are of murdering them. Or, more likely, they simply didn't want to embarrass the delicate sensibilities of their legions of useful idiots in the West.
But yes — there was rape. Not "rape" in scare quotes, as the apologists would have it, but sadistic, murderous sexual violence, documented in a new damning new report by The Civil Commission, an independent Israeli women's rights NGO. (video summary here: https://t.co/LTTjiO1s7E)
Across its 180 pages, the report describes "a recurring pattern of rape and gang rape; sexual torture; mutilation; targeted shooting to the face, head and genital area; forced nudity; binding and restraint; genital burning; objects inserted into intimate areas; post-mortem sexual humiliation; and execution during or after sexual assault."
And it was premeditated and organized. The terrorists crossing into Israel carried printed Arabic-to-Hebrew phrasebooks with handy expressions like "take off your pants," "lie down," "spread your legs," and "don't make trouble." I wonder why they expected to need those particular phrases?
I know one thing: no civilized country on earth would tolerate the existence of an organization like Hamas on its border after October 7th. Not one. This includes every self-righteous Westerner currently lecturing Israel from thousands of kilometres away, without an inch of skin in the game.

@GeraldoRivera You criticized Obama for sending only 1.7 billion to Iran as part of a nuclear deal, a deal that lost no lives or military hardware and had a 15 year period of nuclear monitoring and inspection. Trump canceled it. Remember?
@JohnCarrollU I invented the Senior Assassin game with squirt guns at JCU as a member of Poli Sci group during the Iranian Hostage Crisis period. Anyone remember playing? Prof. Kathleen Barber was not happy with me. 😇
@kneerecon Few factual problems & a couple of places where your framing is off or incomplete. But, I find the structured, enforceable constraints & inspection regime of JCPOA more compelling than undefined or shifting proposals that trade sanctions relief for less articulated nuclear limits
