    I'm sitting here wondering if that Red One movie with The Rock wasn't inspired by someone watching the beginning of Scrooged with that Lee Majors movie where Santa and Mrs Santa and the elves all break out guns to fight off whatever it was.

    I'm traveling, but there was a portfolio I saw a long time ago that's probably right up your alley. I want to say it was called golden butterfly, but I don't have my bookmarks to confirm.

    This is recency bias. Look at a historical chart of gold prices and tell me how you would've felt investing into gold in the 80s without its price moving for two decades.

    Pluribus

    I remembered hating Skyler, but holy shit was she a repugnant character. Vince sure does know how to make unappealing female characters. I think that's why Pluribus is floundering, because Carol fucking sucks. Then again, if Carol had been a male character, you'd cut out 90% of the retarded...

    It's a bet on the US economy. If you assume the US economy keeps chugging on, you invest in the public companies that encompass it. Not only that, but it refreshes itself dumping the losers and adding the new winners. Do I think the US economy is impervious? Obviously not, see my posts in the...

    Pluribus

    I was bored to death this episode. Carol just isn't interesting. It's so odd because we started rewatching Breaking Bad and a lot of the cinematic elements are identical, but it's just so much better to watch. I also feel like that restaurant scene was really jarring with all the cars driving...

    What's the 1996 door? A massive run up for 4 years?

    Average looks to be around 7500 just eyeballing it, which is like 8% up for the year...which is below the average market year of 10%. Looks less bullish in that context to me.

    Avatar 3 (2025)

    It's weird because I feel like I just posted similar about someone else a few weeks ago (can't remember who), but Cameron seems to get a lot of credit for a really limited run of success like he's some amazing director. But it's basically two Terminator movies, Abyss, and Aliens which was a...

    Good Sex

    Brown Bunny? Her career took off afterwards. That thing came out in 2003. She got Big Love in 2006. Hell, she was also in Kids. Look at her acting credits and I don't think it had any impact whatsoever.

    Good thing I live in the US and basically everything I buy is denominated in USD then.

    Nah. It dates all the way back to before the first great depression in the 1880s. Fuck off with your "equities only did well for the last 50 years." http://www.moneychimp.com/features/market_cagr.htm

    Complex isn't better. There are a myriad of articles you can point her to that show she should just index and forget it. Most people assume that it shouldn't be as easy as just investing in the entire market and moving on, that there's gotta be some secret investing sauce that makes you a...

    Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026)

    She's got those retard eyes too far apart thing that seems to be the new trend in Hollywood. Is it fetal alcohol syndrome? Seems fitting.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Honestly, Sprong is the one who opens up the rest of the game. Which kind of makes it a giant pain in the ass. I'd keep grinding it out til you kill him, and from there everything will seem easier.
