  1. It's estimated that Fred Trump give donald $400 mil. at 5% with minimal risk over 60 years, he'd have $7.5 billion. Anyone could reproduce these results given the starting inheritance. https://www.calculator.net/investment-calculator.html?ctype=endamount&ctargetamountv=1%2C000%2C000&cstartingprinciplev=400%2C000%2C000&cyearsv=60&cinterestratev=5&ccompound=annually&ccontributeamountv=0&cadditionat1=end&ciadditionat1=monthly&printit=0&x=Calculate#calresult
  2. i million Americans died. The only effort that would have significantly reduced that number was mandatory vaccination or at least better adherence. Kids can catch up especially the bright ones. They'll still be brilliant Stanford and MIT engineering etc grads out of the covid crop of kids
  3. I do both. "mad money" for the individual stocks. More like bringing $20 to the horse track expecting to lose and vowing not to bet after it's gone. I don't like the volatility of single stocks but it can be entertaining. LLY tripled for me but now is down to double because the trial on their weight loss glp 1 pill didn't have as stellar results as expected. people who got in late are now in the L column. All it takes is a small blip. Or a change in sentiment. A less effective pill over a shot could still be a big winner. I tripled on TLRY based completely on investor euphoria. Went to 40 and now is back down to single digits after people realized it was massively overvalued. Timing is difficult. sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
  4. seeing it much more clearly now. the anger about covid is economic and not about science or medicine. what's 1 million deaths when gen z will be negatively impacted? those refrigerated trailer truck morgues weren't real and even if they were, they were full of old people. trump's immorality is spreading like the virus itself.
  5. good for you. tomorrow is another day. I'll stick with conservative stuff especially in retirement. to each his own....
  6. Again, I hope you timed it right. The stock topped out at 42 in 2021, 38 now. compare this to the steady rise of a SPDR over this time period. no timing needed, much lower risk. To each his own... https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SPY/
  7. Beautifully written story and analogy. But what is the maximum number of tacos needed to justify the parking lot improvement? That's what the beane counters are analyzing. between 11mil and 15 mil is a lot of tacos.
  8. We have a new hard rock casino nearby. Went to dinner there and they had a Morton' like place which was ok but pricey. Rooms were uber bucks and the place felt creepy. Lots of people losing money and feeling it. I'd pick another place for dinner next time.
  9. yup. and it's bad for democracy. it marginalizes voters. bad enough you can win the presidency with less than a majority, but this cancels people. Yes, both sides do it. But this has gone nuclear. And it's very bad.
  10. This. The average career of an NFL RB is the lowest of the positions: About 3 years. He's 26 in Sept. There are not many 30 yo RB's much less elite ones at that stage of their career. Gotta imagine they factor all of this in when evaluating player value It would seem "older" rb's would be a risky bet.
  11. 1st year stats for Cook and Davis are almost the same. Can Ray improve as quickly as Cook? On this team, why not? Let Cook sit or come back without an attitude. His first year attitude was not impressive. struck me as kinda dumb. His agent and brother will ultimately decide.
  12. I agree. The Bills hold the cards. He loses $5 mil if no deal and he sits. In that case, the Bills gain cash and cap space. From a biz prospective, he's losing. The bills are losing less. A trade would need to be very favorable for the bills to bite imo.
  13. ih they don't agree on a contract and he refuses to play, does he get paid? does his current salary get removed from the cap?
  14. I'm obsessed with this stuff
  15. He’ll pardon the sex trafficking pedophile. And she won’t say a word about him.
  16. We used to offer a generous 401 match to encourage saving. It was common to see people take out most of their savings for stuff like trucks and boats. This plan would be even more of a disaster.
  17. How many times do you need to hear “ paycheck to paycheck”?

  20. Agree. But be prepared to pay $10 a pound for cherries 9which are delicious this year). And perhaps no lettuce on your sandwich from Subway or Burger King. Lots of folks already eating ultra processed cheap garbage. If this happens, there will be more and they will be fatter and sicker.
  21. over 4000 wire transfers involving $billions. They have the names
  22. This isn't weird at all...
  23. We mostly ballroom but latin is my favorite. The parties are almost always non smoking. The entrance fee is usually less than $10. Group lessons are the way to go to meet people. The social dances often start with a beginner lesson. Ages vary from 20's to 60's but there are dances, like at salsa clubs that are mostly 20 or 30 somethings. btw, that video is very close to an experience I had New years eve this year without the pros. Salsa all night. So much fun. I think I did 4.- about all I could manage at that tempo. We didn't;'t do the switching partners on the fly but many did.
