    This is my confusion. We're 3 + years of high inflation. Sure, it started cause of momentary policy reacting to COVID ( increasing demand) and reduced inventory due to factories closing ( reduced supply). So the first year we had crazy inflation. Then still higher than 2% the next year...

    Let me guess. As a young girl, she showed signs of the force. But a sexist man wouldn't let her train. So she was taken in by a sith and vows to hunt down all Jedi in revenge

    na, these are companies that went IPO. those founders get some option to buy stock at like a 99% discount. and only those founders can buy the stock at that price. and they can buy it at that price in their roth. i think Jeff Bezos or Elon did that w/ just 6k the year something went IPO and...

    there was a list posted here a year or 2 ago, listing a few Roths that had millions. The winning play is to be founder/startup status for some company and buy stock for pennies on the dollar in your Roth. i htink there was a bill proposed to stop just that.

    energy use by man has always inclined. think wood, whale oil, etc. the fact that the gov't is trying to force energy change that prevents this trend is just crazy to me. eventually, we'll all be dead or we'll have a dyson ring.

    Interesting. He's got a major problem though, he can't seem to stick with something. We keep hearing it's but it's fault, and I'm inclined to believe everything I've heard so far. Still, this will be the foundation of X-Men going forward, so I hope he's fully committed.

    I actually suggested gold to a friend who's looking at a potential divorce. They are very cash oriented, due to credit cards frequently being maxed. I suggested he started using petty cash to buy small gold bars, then have his mother store in a bank lock box in a neighbor state.

    I was referencing Joe's first January. I can't remember the specific dates, but my money quickly took a dive. Time in the market beats timing the market. Usually. Think I'll continue to dollar cost average, sticking money in every paycheck vs dumping from savings at the start of the year...

    Watching people talk really slows down the conversation. 1st episode down, hopefully the signing is less of an issue going forward. It almost pains me to say that. I used to be ok with American sign. As a waiter, I had a call table of a dead couple, and we loved that I could check in on them...

    I forget which one of you said it, but it was something like "I'll never see those kinds of numbers (% gains). if I do, that means I'm being too risky and I could just as easily have a same % downturn. I'm going after consistent growth so I can maintain my lifestyle". When I hear friends or...
