Re: Podcasts

did anyone else catch the Making Sense podcast, Nicolas Christakis episode ? It’s chock full of intelligent thinking on covid. I think it would easily click with members like Cortpassi, but I wish Murphy would give it a listen, most of all. Murphy and, if you’re out there, SomeDude and Tom. It’s ki...

Re: Wealth Accumulation Portfolio for Child

this place is ruined by trolls..

wealth accumulation is useless without understanding wealth preservation and the psychology of investing..

intelligent debate was killed by trolls in 2020, if talking about the PP is no longer why we are here.....

Re: Wealth Accumulation Portfolio for Child

having a 100% stock VP, that is larger than their PP when starting out, would be a supportable position.. that doesn't change the value in sharing harry browns wisdom..

no recommendation for a PP/VP combination? set them up with a permanent portfolio for wealth preservation, and some money to invest with a different risk profile time horizon... seems the obvious choice if you want them to get a deeper understanding of investing, one that will serve them well..

Re: Staying the course with LTTs

As a not so long ago newcomer...I will say again that the liberal usage of acronyms with no explanations were far more confusing than reading anything that mathjak has ever written anywhere at any time. It's not that kind of confusion. The thing is that MJ presents his analysis of the current and n...

Re: BTC in the PP

Honestly, my gut sense is BTC is a modern day tulip and it isn’t going to end well. But these questions are more like, is the tulip in a pot with good soil or is it cut and in a water vase I just got from the florist and it’s dead in 7-14 days (metaphorically). Have you thought about what would nee...

Re: Want to lose weight & treatment for diabetes

Which leads me to this question: These practices, both the salad and the vinegar/olive oil with bread, have been custom in Italy forever. Maybe back to the time of the Romans. So is it a case of ancient wisdom, where they *knew*. Or is it just a delicious happy accident? bread made with heirloom gr...

That's fine, I82, but I think it's asking a lot from the rest of us to be trying to figure out which 50% is the real person posting and which 50% is a sarcastic version. tomfoolery is pretty simple to parse out .if political it is satire (starting from the 2020/2021 cancel craze) .if investing rela...

Re: mathjak's daytrading adventures

Neither Mathjak or myself are disputing any of that. What each of us are saying that when you commit to something long-term implicitly each day you are deciding to invest all over again in the same assets as you possessed the day before. It's not advocating not adopting a long-term strategy. so how...
