It’s the long con.

Handpan, just so mellow sounding.

Other times, incredibly so.

In the same b movie realm, I have a favorite that is so horrible, it’s good.

Dead snow

Basically about Nazi zombies, but it’s hilariously bad. And the best part? There’s a sequel, dead snow 2, which is phenomenal! Like a total 180 from the first one.

Not to mention presidents/former presidents don’t drive ever.

He isn’t eligible, too heavy. (Most heavyweights are limited to 265 these days.) And he is definitely in that neighborhood.

Hmmm, can you expand on this? Not sure I understand.

Or maybe they just want their kids to have a successful life? (in the traditional sense)

A convicted murder, who was also suspected of being a serial killer, …

And if they were able to pass something requiring ID, their next target would be making it difficult or impossible to get IDs in liberal areas.

Make sure to etch your foil with how to rig up solar cells for power.

Yes, you’re supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. Not, guilty immediately and forever because I say so.

Or like look at the size 3 they currently are wearing.

Insane to think there’s only 140k of them. Seems super low for some reason.

So anything discovered further is ‘fruit of the poisonous tree’ and no longer admissible as evidence. But since it wasn’t ‘wrong’ at the time it was done it is admissible?

Is that correct?

Try to do the right thing. That’s something.

It has “returned to the mean” as far back as we can look. It doesn’t mean a special year, but as best we can see, it will eventually return to that mean.

It actually matters less to people just starting. At that point it’s more about the number of stocks you buy than the value of them. The value matters later when you have a ton and your contributions are tiny compared to the actual swings.

They are, but what’s affecting people now is the concern.

Say you’ve been investing for the past 10 years. You put in 5k a year. 5 years ago you had 33k saved after interest. You kept contributing, and a few weeks ago you would have 105k. With the drops in the mark the last week, you suddenly have 95k. You lost 10 grand, which will take you two years to put back in. Not to mention we’re expecting a major drop today, you might lose another 10k in a few days. That is what gets people panicking and selling.

The reality is they haven’t lost anything unless they get out of the market. They still have the same number of stocks, and the value of those stocks only really matters when you sell them.

Most people are losing more than 5000. In the US, stocks and bonds are a big part of most people’s retirement. So people in the 50-60 range average 400k+ in the market. Meaning this last week they have lost roughly 40k.

Over 30 years with the ups and downs it averages 10-12% a year. So while this year will probably be bad, next year or the year after will probably be exceptionally good.
