A black athelete not standing finally affected Nike’s stock price negatively.

You have spent a lot of words instead of just watching the “bonfire of ignorance.”

Find a bank that will keep your mortgage in-house. Then they don’t have any rules. Community banks are good for this. If you own your own business, the bank will require to understand what that business is and still want three years of taxable income statements in order to fund a conforming...

The reality is that solid long term investing can earn far more than any trading strategy. Thank you for the article. It was fascinating and inspiring to read.

What 1.7percent annualized return difference makes over 50 years!

I don’t know how they measure this. apple and google didn’t make the list until like 2014 when “google” had been a verb for like a decade and the iPod was 12 years old and the iPhone was 7 years old. How was ibm on the list at all?
