Re: New interview with Craig Rowland

Yet another example of how the Value Stock Geek consistently sends an email with an email date about 2 weeks prior to it actually being sent. I was in the email box yesterday and it had nothing left in it about 24 hours ago. The email was not there. Today it is with a 2/21/24 date. My educated gues...

Re: Engineers on the forum: did you like the Lightning connector?

While the lightning connector was always top-notch mechanically (all Apple products are), the primary reason that Apple insisted on using their own connector standards (remember the old 30-pin?) is that they controlled the global supply chain...

Re: Tyler interviewed!

Well, in a lot of ways speaking is easier than writing. I’ll sometimes spend hours thinking about how to reply to a post to communicate the right tone, while when talking it’s easier to just be yourself and clear up any disconnect on the spot. Maybe that just means I should try speaking more. I do e...

I just finished giving it a listen. Over a decade ago, Tex said he nominated Craig as “the most level-headed person on the Internet”. I think we now need to pass that torch onto Tyler. Ha!

Re: How much to save for retirement

I took a peek through the report you linked to, and it still cites figures by account balance, not total of all accounts per person. For example see this sentence: "The average account balance of those families owning IA plans increased from $79,262 in 1992 to $258,453 in 2019." I found similar lan...

Re: How much to save for retirement

The bad news is that I think you're overestimating the amount of savings the median person has. I think I found the WSJ article you're referencing, and the $266k figure is the median family net worth for the age range of 65-74. That includes not only all accounts but also home equity. According to t...

Agree with the general feeling on a Chinese holding company. However, I think the location, local laws in effect and the auditing/auditor is probably more important. If the vault is in the US or UK with a western auditing firm I'm not that concerned. Move the vault to Bejing, use a non-western Euro...
