re: Discord Stock servers

I've been in a trading one before. Basically a cesspool. Only a couple guys knew how to trade and then what do you do, sit by your computer to see if you can follow them? Nah, gotta learn the hard way like everyone else.

That said, if I were to join one, I'd look into "figuring out money". Mike Silva puts out short YT videos MWF that you can follow his method pretty easy and you can follow him on Twitter. His discord is like $36/mo. but as mentioned I don't find following trades particularly useful. He gives stocks/indexes and levels to watch. Almost worth it just to not have to recreate his work, but it's not how I trade. What he is good at is turning points. He's nailed every bottom of a pullback in the market for as long as I've been watching and that's probably a year+. That is very worth it if you can do the other parts (entry/exit/execution).

ETA One thing to add, he is currently top 5 in the US Investing Championship after finishing in the top 15 last year. I wouldn't expect to be like him but his method obviously works.
There is absolutely no reason to not lean into this hard and have this shirt made:
For what it's worth... ChatGPT with none of our biases:



I personally bump Vincent up to 4th since he was the MVP of our postseason offensively during the championship run that brough LSU to prominence.
I'm just here laughing at the fact the post was edited yet still left the racist part :lol:
The irony of catching flak for saying 100k isn't enough, but then complaining that everything is too expensive.

You're dead on with this line of thought. If you're lucky enough to have even a moderate match of 3% on a $40,000 income, you would have $1m by the time you're 65.

This mean you don't make any money AND you suck at saving. That isn't society's fault.
This is an incredibly lazy internet answer. The assumption being TCJA never gets repealed once the Republicans screw this all up? Seems like a big "never".

Assuming they do...

220k now is a marginal bracket of 22% and after standard deduction, spins off $31,144 in federal tax.

180k after it's repealed, marginal tax rate of 28% and after standard deduction is $31,461 in federal tax.
What's the plan for health insurance for the next 10 years?

Possible? Sure. Need a lot of luck and nothing bad to happen? Also yes.
Heard Jim Bianco talking about this on Macro Voices 4-5 weeks ago. Worth a listen.

eta appears he's been talking about it since September, but the one I was talking about was about a month ago:

LINK

MacroVoices #496, “The Post Covid Economy”: “if we have no population growth, that’s enough jobs… that’s all we really need to be creating.”
MacroVoices #510: discussion of the “breakeven rate” for labor supply and how the economy may need far fewer jobs than people assume.
MacroVoices #523 / recent transcript listings: the same theme appears again, with language like “we don’t need that many jobs.”

When is the TedTalk? I couldn’t find it on Ticketmaster.

Fake news until you show the returns. If it's working you can't just blanket say this. If it's not, so be it.

Per child.

As others have said, it comes pretty non-descript. It's not like a tax form like a 5498 you'd get for an IRA. You can file if you know the number without it.

This conversation is totally not gonna go in the direction he wanted it to I have a feeling

Dude got 21,000 posts. He should know his wife is fair game by now.

Anything in lower bowl is going to be a good time.
This is one of the dumbest ideas I’ve heard. If you cap rates at 10% the CC companies just won’t lend to low credit borrowers. They aren’t going to lose money on it. It’s a shortsighted thought. You can have a house you can’t afford but no furniture for you!
Haven’t been a Saints fan long, have ya? We could totally blow 8. Hold my beer.
