This is the factor the OT always dismisses. Every related thread begins with self righteous responses about discipline, personal accomplishment, and if I can do it anyone can.

Within a few pages someone wants to check the math because the results don’t add up. Then the details start to leak and always include some combination of grandparents paying private tuition, parents paying for college, and the finish with a down payment as a wedding gift.

Then someone points out the responses kind of proves the OP’s point. In response those people say FU, helping their kids is expected and they aren’t going to apologize for other families’ poor decision making.

Subsequently, the thread concludes until it is inevitably rehashed a few weeks later.

Still waiting for tiggerdad’s response. Apparently after you graduate you just walk to the bank, present the loan officer with your application and offer him a firm handshake.

When it happens it seems to be right after the ex div and without reason. Last November is the best example since the dividend payment formula was changed in 2023.

Other than that, it’s been smooth sailing with the Juul and budlight fiasco in the rear view.

the whole thing is just weird

The math has become comical. They seem to define mnav by simply dividing the BTC holdings by the 360 million outstanding A/B shares to get their $50 billion in assets and $30billion market cap. But, they ignore the 150 million outstanding c/d/f/g/k shares. I guess that’s what’s considered debt. Then they have $150 million/mo in operational costs.

Using that formula, this should be a steal in six months when the mnav inevitably dips below .5.

Old people need to retire and get out of our way. People working at 65 or above are holding up the progress of younger people. It is a real issue. Their performance slows yet they hold their position as protected class. If you work in a role past 65, you are doing damage to the company and the younger more versatile talent. Retire and go enjoy life.

You’re in luck, because most companies are wholesale cleaning out anyone over 50, and they aren’t hiring anyone from that protected class.

In the next few years there will be a far angrier contingent that realizes they’re on the outside looking in, and need to be prepared for involuntary retirement decades before they even qualify for SS.

Sir do you not understand what the poster said or are you this ignorant. MSTR being valued at a discount to their BTC holdings has nothing to do with their acquired BTC price average

I guess I’m ignorant. How can it trade at a discount when they’d be $14 billion underwater if they liquidated their assets?

How is that possible? Their average is $75k and BTC is $59k.

Call me crazy, but this has become an unrecoverable business plan.
