I'm going to make this brief...I don't think we have seen the end of high inflation!! I picked up a vegetable platter at Walmart today. The price has risen about 40% in the last year. Later today, I talked with a owner of the local cafe/coffee shop. I asked what has gone up the most...He...

2K...Robinhood for cheapness. Fidelity and Schwab DO NOT WANT YOU!! Yes, they want you (when someone in your family dies and you inherit $$). Both Schwab and Fidelity are very good for hand holding...Which is what you need for the next few years. You can call customer service 24/7 with...
