Quote from: gcode on March 31, 2026, 09:03 AMI inherited $100K worth of Exxon in 2015.
I let it ride, reinvesting the dividends and paying income taxes on those dividends.
In December 2025 I sold enough to pay cash for our retirement home and still have $120K worth of Exxon left.
The capital gains taxes on that stock sale were ugly, but the way I look at it, I still have the initial inheritance and a free house.

Now get off my lawn!
Free addition. :P

It is a hostile takeover.

It's a war - you know it, everyone knows it. Take the party line any further and you'll fall in.

Never much of a reader, self-admittedly, drumpf gets his daily updates in the form of a 'greatest hits' reel.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-gets-daily-video-montage-briefing-iran-war-rcna263912
QuoteEach day since the start of the war in Iran, U.S. military officials compile a video update for President Donald Trump that shows video of the biggest, most successful strikes on Iranian targets over the previous 48 hours, three current U.S. officials and a former U.S. official said.
But not about the bad stuff.
QuoteOne example came this month when five U.S. Air Force refueling planes were hit in an Iranian strike at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, according to one of the current U.S. officials. Trump wasn't briefed about the strikes, and he learned what had happened from media reports, the official said. When Trump inquired, he was told the planes weren't badly damaged, the official said.
Not that badly damaged indeed.
