Watched first 2 episodes, was pretty good but it's slow

Could always dump money into marijuana stocks on the speculation Trump actually does re-classify it from Schedule I to Schedule III

Yea I don't get that article, it's just saying "This person used their Roth to invest in stocks that went way up!" k?

So, apparently when I was younger (about 13 in 1997) my parents decided to start an investment account for me. They went through a local broker that was part of Prudential and that crook sold them roughly $18,000 worth of PGIM Jennison Blend Class A. I just found out about this recently because...

So who's bullish for bullish? Love the ticker.

I wonder what the true cost to invest in something like the S&P was prior to like... 2010. Online brokerages were not a thing until the late 90s and they had pretty high fees associated with transacting and I believe even transferring to. SPY didn't even exist until 1993, VFIAX was 2000 and...

Well, yes but for instance I did not start heavily investing until the 2015/2016 time frame because I was in college during the dotcom bust and can remember it and then I was very early in my career during the housing crisis. I did NOT trust Wall Street at all as a late 20s/early 30s "yuppie"...

Yes, and chatgpt says its from Reddit, so Im assuming Grok is pulling the data the same way

Closing price of the S&P 500 on Jan 1, 1980 was 110.97 and it was 359.97 on Jan 1, 1990. So 3.49x ish?

Looks like that might be based off of reddit data and other "corroborating sources" This is what chatgpt spits out:

One thing also contributing to a lot of the reported financial success here right now, in August 2025, is the comical success of the market. A lot of people here, who had been investing aggressively in the last 13 years, and especially in the last 5, made quite significant, almost unheard of...

Soundhound is *probably* one of those companies that has a good, old fashioned software product that is leveraging AI somewhere on there own backend and is essentially lying that their product is AI. This is almost definitely the case with like 99% of these "AI" companies. These companies will...

Pretty sure there are less than like 10 people here saying that.

I don't go into the general thread/politics section of this forum almost ever, but is there actual crossover between the people posting here and the troglodytes that live in that section of the forum?

U mad bro?

As I understand it, truly wealthy people also borrow against these policies, technically borrowing your own "money", without triggering any tax events. I hear more and more about this practice lately especially with people who hold a lot of wealth in crypto.

Agreed, though I think Toyotas are better than Hondas. Thus says the millionaire still driving his 2010 Toyota Camry

Yea well you're cool with making $8/hr so $1000 in the bank is basically 6 months of cash isn't it?

It needs a few coats. Rome wasn't built in a day!

Just ask your wife to give you another kneeler, but this time leave *some* light so you can aim correctly.

You're talking to me about watches after I mansplained golf and some of the most prestigious courses on earth to the class. Keep talking about watches after you research places like Maidstone.

That's the "chip on the shoulder" mentality of people who haven't grown up around "old wealth". I honestly feel like the Texas boys and the Northeast boys have a leg up on everyone else simply because we grew up around it. At least if we decided to pay attention. All the "old money" in this...

Okay so buy an e class or if you're really worried about appearances a g wagon. How is that even close to 50k a month or what he is comparing himself to? I feel like I'm back where I grew up on Long Island and people here are acting like the ultra wealthy who get pissed off that they aren't...

Also, why do you keep bringing up your acquaintances and what they have, make and spend? Who gives a shit? Live your own life.

50k/month for "experience, travel and memories"? You do you but that's... excessive... and the kind of spend that ruins lives.

The AI bubble is gonna be painful and it's gonna pop likely in the next 3-5 years but I'll probably be at the 50k/month number in ~8 years if the S&P follows historical trends and I can just keep my job. Of course, that's almost definitely not gonna happen and I also don't need it to. The funny...

Uhhh.... Are you under the impression that isn't how this country has always worked?

Pitt mostly puts in great performances in excellent movies that don't pander to lowest common denominator audiences. Its surprising and unsurprising.

Pretty sure he's jerking off into his own mouth and paying some broad from OnlyFans to broadcast it live.

K8 is top tier for the same reason Frieren is top tier. Not a lot of fluff and basically no hand wringing or pearl clutching.

I live modestly, with no debt. In a house I bought for 245k in 2009. My property taxes are $9300/yr. My homeowners insurance is $2k/yr. The CPI is outrageous right now. Some of these things are more or less depending on where you live but pretending 16k/yr is fine anywhere in the US just shows...

Bud $8/hr is like 16k/yr. Let's not get carried away

I'm not. He made a silly argument that ignores CAGR trying to compare lifestyles of someone with 1m vs 5m. Its a disingenuous stance.

The amount of money someone who retires at 39 with 1m has when they turn 59, etc, etc, will be wildly different than someone who retires at 39 with 5m. So what that guy is saying.... is kind of silly and meaningless. Because the person who retires with 1m will never really fly private, but...

The 1m and 5m net worth might not live all that differently when that is their net worth but 5m will grow way, way faster and 10 years later it will be vastly different (under "normal" circumstances)

Never saw The Count of Monte Cristo?

I'm joking, but that pay is also not enticing.

And have to move to D.C.? I'd rather be unemployed.

Oh and by the way, just to reiterate. He asked copilot to fix an exception handler. Based on an exception he saw occur once in Splunk logs. He saw an exception. And he decided to ask AI to fix any handlers that might catch that exception. This is our future.

If enough of these dipshits hit the ground running THAT hard. It actually will be a self correcting problem.
