Retiring at 50 (1 year away).


Be cautious.

With the numbers you posted, if you retire at 50, you are going to have to live off of about $40,000 a year. You won’t be able to use your 401k for a while or they will penalize you.

Can you support yourself and your family on that? You will also have to use a portion of your $40k/yr on out of pocket Obamacare medical insurance. With that amount, you will barely be able to leave the house.

I don’t know either. BayouBengal is #1!

My investment has more than doubled in value in less than 1.5 months. It is definitely the fastest I’ve had a stock that’s doubled so quickly.

Some influencer is pumping it


Hopefully these influencers keep the pumping going and not the old pump and dump.

It would be nice if I could be an influencer, but I’m sure being one must be harder than it seems, or else everybody would be one.
My strategy is to follow the professional Mexican lawn guys. I still see them driving around with gas equipment in their trailers. If electric equipment was better, the professional Mexicans would have made the switch. These are the guys that do this for a living everyday. Plus my equipment is still reliable and gets the job done.

Think about it like this, if you are a stock broker recommending electric lawn equipment to me, I wouldn't get stock advice from the Mexican and lawn equipment advice from you. I would get stock advice from you and lawn equipment advice from the Mexican.
The game isn’t even going to be close. Do you seriously think CLK doesn’t know all of their strengths/weaknesses and how to exploit them?

LSU 32-10 (I am so confident, even have CLK going for 2 and making it on his first touchdown)

Iranian teams will leave if forced to promote LGBTQ


A logical person may be able to make an argument that a majority don’t care for either homosexuals or Iranians. If this is the case, does the majority want:

1. The homosexuals to stop celebrating (win) and the Iranians to stay (lose).
2. The homosexuals to celebrate (lose) and the Iranians to leave (win).
I put in a stop limit order of $34.89 to guarantee I will make at least $1,000.
I just got into this game with 5 shares at $243.00. Hopefully I’m not catching a falling knife…

An executive at a bank in NYC was probably making more than double or triple than an average baw on TD. Maybe this one got bumped down a notch after this instinctual incident, but there are probably tens or hundreds of thousands of more at a similar salary level.

How did all of these people become more valuable to society (based on salary) than us?

You will not be "recording discreetly" any meetings or anything like that. They have a built in LED for the camera that is on at all times when recording


Thanks. This is good info. I don’t think this will work. If I am trying to record people without their permission during a business meeting and I show up with thick framed glasses that have a flashing red light on them, people may ask questions.

I will probably have to wait a bit for the technology to improve. Unless the Chinese already have something on the market.
I saw another thread on here about Oakley Sunglasses, clicked on the link, and noticed Oakley Meta HSTN. Does anybody have experience with these?

I would like to get some AI glasses that nobody knows are AI glasses. I would like to be able to wear them during business meetings and have them discrete enough to not stand out and allow me to record without anybody knowing. I would also like to be able to wear them while going on runs and display metrics (HR, pace, time, distance, etc) on a display while listening to music and recording a video. I think I would need them to be transition lenses to accomplish both tasks.

If Oakley Meta HSTN won’t do these things are you aware of any other AI glasses that can? Are there any other cool features to look for?

Don’t silver stackers have more flexibility when it comes to capital gains, inheritance, etc? Also the zombie apocalypse.

$3MM is the number to retire at 60


CG, is this the total amount you need in 401k, ira, brokerage, etc? Or is that the amount you need in just your brokerage account? What is the number for 55 and 50?

Sometimes I look down and I wonder if I am part horse.
I wouldn’t mind for my doctor to prescribe me some testosterone steroids to get a pump like Arnold Scwazeneger or Barry Bonds. I used to think those were bad for your health and people like Arnold and Barry would have had a heart attack a decade or more ago. But they seem to be getting old, no problem.

Do you have to go to a special place like BALCO to get tested? Or can my regular doctor test me for Low T during my yearly physical? After the test, does insurance cover the cost of the testosterone injections?
I believe Pete Rose was removed from the permanently ineligible list (gambling related) and is now eligible for the Hall of Fame.
