The colonial rule of Pasta in East Africa. This is for those in here who were arguing Italy had nothing to do with the consumption of Pasta in Somalia.

I just rolled over 3 accounts to Fidelity and will listen to any advice about anything they offer from those who have been with them for a while.

My IRA accounts generate dividend income from QQQI and SPYI, and my HSA generates income meant to pay for medical expenses.

I retired early (62) at the beginning of the year because life is too precious to spend at work.

The man in the White House who has nothing but hate in his heart for anyone who is remotely related to Somalia, posted a video of Somali American kids graduating from kindergarten and mocked them because the young girls were wearing hijab.

This old pedophile who was accused of raping a 13 year old child, as disclosed in the Epstein Files, is obsessed with the Somali American community in Minnesota because Congresswoman Ilhan Omar exposed his religious bigotry and racism.

Now that the leaders of America and Israel are said to be at war of words with each other, what does this mean for the Hargeysa regime’s recognition project that started with Israel at the end of last year with the expectation that America will follow suit?

Trump was forced to fight Iran on behalf of Israel but America is paying the price and losing the war. Now that Trump wants to make a peace deal, Bibi is trying to derail the process by waging a war in Lebanon which Iran included as part of comprehensive peace deal.

This resulted in Trump saying Bibi was freaking crazy; that he is ingrate because he helped him stay out of prison in Israel for corruption and embezzlement. Trump added everyone hates Bibi and everyone hates Israel because of Bibi.

The political class in Hargeysa made a huge bet that Bibi will deliver Trump but that prospect seems unlikely given the fact that America and Israel are finally coming to terms with the fact that they do have different strategic interests in the region.

Israel wants greater Israel project to dominate the whole region and act as a local superpower while America wants to play the role of a global superpower even though it may be challenged by rising China.

Speaking of China, Hargeysa also made a mistake in having relations with Taiwan which angered China. Based on the recent trip by Trump to China, it looks like America will drop its opposition to the potential unification of China and Taiwan. Once this happens, China will remember which countries, like Somaliland, encouraged the division of Chinese people between the mainland and the island.

In conclusion, it appears Hargeysa made two strategic blunders, on the unholy alliance with Israel and the unwise partnership with Taiwan, and both of them are likely to lead not official recognition by the rest of the world but diplomatic isolation in both the Muslim world and the African continent.

I had some money split 50/50 between QQQI & SPYI. But I wanted some growth and split the money three ways in QQQI, SPYI & VGT. Thoughts?

I just checked my Schwab account and it shows my SPYI dividend payout on quarterly basis, not monthly basis. Am I looking at it wrong? Thanks.

A guest rented a car of mine and was involved in a minor collision with another car.

They didn’t report the accident to me or to Turo. There was no visible damage to the car.

My insurance company, Library Mutual, called me about the accident and told them it was being used by a Turo guest. They recorded my responses to their questions.

I just got the police report and it shows another person who was not authorized to drive as an additional driver was driving the car during the time of the accident.

Question: will LM drop my coverage or anything?
