From an Investing perspective, The ONLY reason Apple is relevant is because they have a huge ecosystem moat that prior innovation created.

I pay a few hundred bucks a year for a similarly valued piece. Going on almost ten years… Ask me again in a couple decades if it was worth it. :lol: Like all insurance it’s peace of mind. If your wife is sporting this daily, then yes it’s probably worth it. If it’s stuffed in a safe, probabl...

The is liberals lying 101. “We’re not going to raise your taxes… but those temporary tax breaks orange man gave you are not going to be extended”. They should have been made permanent revisions so we don’t have to play these games. At least Trump has some ammunition here. Pocket book reaso...

Posted by TigerDeBaiter on 4/23/24 at 8:49 pm

For someone who actively DCAs ETFs are superior as well. I DCA weekly but if there’s blood I’ll do an extra buy. With a mutual fund you just get the days closing price, but often that isn’t close to the low of day. It’s small and possibly insignificant delta but a half percentage here and ther...
