Re: New Here - What are folks investing in

👍
I’ve been thinking about Bell Labs a lot recently while watching ‘Severance’ on Apple TV+. Fictional show, but they use the old campus as the setting.

Too bad Blinken couldn't have said the same thing 4 years ago. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian men would still be alive.
Isn’t it tens of thousands?

More significantly, he’s famous for playing the role of a normal guy who became president. That series (“Man of the People”) turned out to be the best campaign ad ever.

Re: BTC in the PP

There is barely a mention of bitcoin on page 16. Should I move the posts? Ugh Anyway, I saw an announcement that Proton Wallet (from the Protonmail team) is now out there for anyone to use.

What my wife perceives as wishywashyness in Trump is, I believe/hope, his advisors imploring him to cool it in some areas. I like his passion, and I like how he’s sh...

Not that it matters, but I thought the woman was Thai for the longest time because of the band name. She’s not.

While the DOW is down 1% right now (3:00PM EST), gold is holding fast at 2860$/oz. That leads to the question of ... what is mathjak doing in reaction to that??!! Perhaps selling gold? I don’t think I would be very good at day-trading gold, myself, but I am very happy that CraigR & Harry Browne...
