Jalen Rose is an imbecile. Kevin Love on the roster took me back a little bit, but so did Jerami Grant. :lol:...

[quote]For those who want the freedom to not worry about maintaining specific income levels and what not, it is a life changing event to be mortgage free. Such a stress reliever.[/quote] I’m sure it is, but having the ability to pay it off and instead watching it grow faster than the debt is pret...

[quote]Thanks Peter Thiel for fricking up Roths for us regular folks. When changes are made it won't be to people with $5B in their Roths.[/quote] The last Roth modification floated was for Roths over $5MM, fwiw. ...

[quote]What happened next deprived the U.S. government of untold millions in tax revenue. Perhaps billions. Thiel used his new Roth IRA to purchase shares of his startup.[/quote] :yack: From ProPublica. Imagine typing this and thinking it’s a bad thing. ...

I just read the ProPublica article. What a garbage piece. I hate the way following the law is framed around taxes. ...

[quote]But you can only contribute if your income is under $139k[/quote] Not exactly. There are backdoor ways that will probably be closed some day. ...

[quote]That isn't a perk. Backdooring a Roth can be done from a traditional IRA. You can make a contribution to an IRA. Wait a year then back door the Roth. You can do full or partial conversion. [/quote] Backdooring a Roth if you have a traditional IRA requires you to pay taxes on a proportiona...

What particular structured note? Ultimately they’re a packaged financial product, so a healthy amount of skepticism should be exercised. ...

Can I throw BB into this randomly. I need to do some real DD but they’re intriguing. Not sure if I want them caught up in the meme stuff though. ...

[quote] shite I read we own the float by 300% now. [/quote] Of course. :lol:...

Volume has been way down lately. On one hand, doesn’t appear a ton of apes are bailing. On the other, doesn’t appear the buying is happening either. I’d say a net positive for longs. :dunno:...

[quote]think Viac bottomed, and over the last two months it’s become my largest holding. [/quote] Fwiw, I posted that before Viacom fell another 12% and Discovery fell another 39%. ...

[quote]My commentary in this thread has been primarily directed towards #2, and boiled down to its core, simply argues that debt used to finance appreciating assets is more productive than debt used to finance depreciating "assets."[/quote] It makes me wonder though… If you have $X amount of a...

[quote]That doesnt make sense to me. Are you saying, "people dont like to lose money. But they dont like to make it either. They are content with mediocrity" My key component is the 20 year window for retirement. The safety net is the 20 year window. Not diversifying into minimally performin...

[quote]Not really. You dont gain or lose until you sell. There is "no blow" in a retirement account scheduled to grow for the next 20 years. As a matter of fact, payroll deductions into bonds AFTER a crash are a lost opportunity. I made a ton of money diverting all of my paychecks to my retire...
