Not saying you are wrong, you might be very right but I ran across this. Insiders are buying. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/unitedhealth-stock-rallies-5-lows-220105004.html

Fitch and S&P downgraded our credit rating one notch, Fitch in 2023 and S&P in 2011. No big deal to the markets ultimately. Its like your personal credit score going from 825 to 800, or something like that. Doesn't materially change much. I am not "zero cash" but have about 80% of my portfolio...

Here we go again with LSJr.

One third large cap growth, one third large cap value, one third bonds.

I am headed to AK in two weeks.

Its not a problem. We are realistic. We don't expect the 1997 C1500 to ride like my cushy 2019 RAM, or a Cadillac sedan. What we want is to replace the shocks with the best choice, since they are nearly 30 years old and need to be replaced regardless. Clearly some shocks are softer, some are firmer.

Agreed. Also in Spain people love interacting with each other.

That's what I meant, in sites mostly by people who never used a drop. A few of my enthusiasts friends who actually used it loved it.

UNH has cratered (-42%). What do you all think? Is it a "long term" buy here?

Profit margins drive everything lately, not just RP. Peruse the "oil filter" threads. Yes Calumet bought them out but that was irrelevant. RP was almost universally despised before and after just the same.

It did change. RP was a very robust, highly additized oil but had an older API rating to accommodate it, and people screamed "it was behind the times". Then in response, RP reformulated it to meet the latest (at that time) API rating, and haters screamed "they watered it down". RP has never...

I know its a silly example, but I think of the classic movie "Its a Wonderful Life" where we are living in a wrecked, immoral alternative reality instead of friendly Bedford Falls where people are mostly good and decent.

Heat yes, dry weather, no. I live in the swamps! We run from floods, LOL

If Bilsteins are naturally firm, I need something else. Ride quality matters A LOT to my wife.

Thats what I'll do. Thanks all.

The truck has a long story. Dad bought it at retirement in the summer of '96. He was the consummate handy man, after working 33 years at Dupont as a mechanic he insisted on a long bed to haul 4x8 material. He drove it until he passed in Dec. '99. I inherited it, and drove it to work. Then when...

A whole generation of vehicles, mostly full size trucks and Honda V6's, were ruined with cylinder deactivation. The EPA should eliminate that, and the ethanol blend requirement. Those two alone are far more impactful than stop-start.

I have a 1997 Chevy c1500. Its a single cab long bed, 185K miles, 4.3L V6. Its driven almost all on road, 90% highway - suburban, and 10% city. It has street tires with highway tread. I realized it still has the original shocks still on it. What shock should I try to get the best most...
