America in general but California in particular and the Bay Area as example, the excesses of participative democracy are seen everywhere. Everyone wants a piece of the budget for their special interest, from the Bay Bridge that took over 20 years to build, the Oakland A's stadium on the...

Plenty, but first it's important to define a free market, since we can probably agree that no country in the world can be said to be a free market, except in far remote parts of the world where government is either the market (like remote islands) or where government doesn't reach the market...

Why this list of dividen stocks? Is it because they offer dividends? What of their growth without dividend? What's their dividend annual returns? A friend bought VZ "because the dividends will pay for my property taxes, so I can check that box". I thought, how strange for someone who...

When it comes to such data it's always good to remember that the US state economies are as wide as first world and developing nations, making median studies barely relevant. $1.36M was surpassed a few years ago in the San Francisco Bay Area and may never get there in Oklahoma.

You like intellectual shortcuts? No every road leads to Venezuela. Communists, fascists and religious autocracies all impose strict controls over their economies. Doesn't Russia ring a bell? Now, name me a single country in the world that imposes no rules.

I don't like Michael Saylor's delivery. He always comes across as arrogant, as if we're all too stupid to understand the subject matter. He made a multi billion $ bet on btc which has yet to become what he thinks it should be. It's well understood that inflation is different for anything and...

Actually it doesn't matter if everyone is hit with the same 8% inflation, it's the uneven compensation adjustments that create havok.

Nah, same with sports. It's when I finally recognized that sports were about challenging myself and not trying to beat others that I started enjoying the effort. I'm fundamentally uncompetitive and it's one of my better character trait.

1. Whichever trading fits personality types. Some like day trading; others like swing trading and others like investing. Whatever works for you. 2. I don't trade to beat other traders; I just trade to make money.

I've said it before... Big fan of blockchain. Massive use potential. I believe in btc as an alternative to gold for the time being.

Yes, yes and yes. You're giving all the reasons for btc not to replace fiat currencies. Why do you think something created by tech idealists with limited input from all other walks of life would be allowed to upend a mechanism that governments use to manage their economies and use to affect...

I will continue to use this titled post and its history as a reminder that emotions make people believe and say things that are, how should I put it kindly, off the mark. I expect that despite Berlin and Texas factories ramp up to possibly half a million cars each, demand will continue to...

We've had a decade or so of Walking Dead and copy series and movies symbolizing the plight of an elite surrounded by masses of sub humans looking to suck their blood and life away. Ironically, in the shows those surviving are the good guys while in real life we're the walking dead.

You mean, like the Russian oligarchs?

At this time MSTR is undervalued against BTC based on historical data. Should be closer to 567.

Maybe you should read up on the company and go from there. No one is indifferent to Tesla and you will get emotional responses from every which way.

Because Musk is watched by everyone for anything he says or does. Musk owns 17%, institutionals own 37.6% so the remaining 49.4% is retail and they react to anything Elon, the good, the bad and the ugly. I don't think it's any different with other companies with notoriety, it's just that Musk...

With April around the corner, my 1 trimester assessment is, I got back in the market a bit too early (early Feb) and would have benefited from waiting until mid March. The last 2 weeks f March have blown all my expectations for the year (still early..), thanks mainly to Tesla’s jump, but all...

I'm surprised no one has yet said "what does your plan say?"
