What you say doesn't make sense at all. If you want to be actively involved in your portfolio and you believe that is the way to maximize your risk/reward ratio. That statement in itself is very revealing. The PP has outperformed its expectations in recent years so I can understand how it has attra...

Old ladies aren’t the only people who want to set it and forget it. ::) Nothing wrong with that as long as you are willing to except a higher risk of lower returns. Lots of people give up money for insurance that, from a risk-adjusted standpoint, isn’t optimal. That doesn’t make them wrong. It just...

TBH, this forum is basically just a collection of INTJ rants that I like to occasionally check while I am sitting on the pot. It is entertainment. If it wasn't for the "Politics" and "Other Discussions" sections, I think this forum would already be dead. I don't realistically eve...

Here is a 15 minute lecture that explains it better than I could ...the potential is definitely real. That said, most altcoin are shit. Just schemes to make a quick buck with no serious potential https://youtu.be/Zuc2_7MGZ_g Interesting how he pretty much just assumes at 10:50 that the military for...

Then you got Harry Reid claiming that UFO/UAP debris are allegedly in the possession of Lockheed Martin. He tried for years to get access but couldn't get the necessary clearances. Senate Majority leader is a pretty credible position. Say what? Yea, it's crazy. The New Yorker just did a piece on it...

My best guess is that the military treats UFO incidents as highly classified and tries to sweep them under the rug, as you described, mainly because the inability to explain such incidents suggests certain limitations in our military's capabilities. They probably consider that embarrassing and a po...

I am the last person to believe in UFOs, but... The thing that unnerves me the most about it is how the government seems to handle the information and treats witnesses. For example, look at the USS Nimitz incident. You have all of the air control systems on the entire Navy Strike Carrier Group 11 th...

If I would have put in $1000 when I knew about it at $100 per bitcoin or whatever it was at the time. Think about what you will lose if you put 1% of your investable assets into Bitcoin and it goes to 0 versus what you may gain if it just keeps doubling. If I was 3 feet taller I would have Lebron’s...

Thanks for the feedback. It's nice to know that even if I am completely nuts in my ramblings... at least there are other people here that speak my same level of crazy

Thank you for your perspective. I keep asking myself “what if”? What if Bitcoin is legitimate even with all the challenges outlined to owning and transacting. What if... I have .60% of investable assets in Bitcoin to answer all the what ifs... People seem to think that somehow bitcoin can operate t...

Thank you for your perspective. I keep asking myself “what if”? What if Bitcoin is legitimate even with all the challenges outlined to owning and transacting. What if... I have .60% of investable assets in Bitcoin to answer all the what ifs... I hear ya. "What ifs" are hard to quantify. T...

Hi Budd, Anyways, no I don’t own any (but I have been researching it for years). I am not opposed to it anymore than I am other types of high-risk venture. In fact, the ONLY reason i even commented was because this forum is really beginning to misclassify bitcoin in a crazy way. Can bitcoin be the n...

I think others have stated here that Bitcoin is more like a growth stock and I think that is more accurate. One thing I can think that will make it more like gold is if you were trying to flee with capital and you thought you could get it across borders. Maybe it is just my personal sentiment but I...

If you pay a little extra you can literally cut the entire line, go into the sistine chapel 15 minutes before the public is allowed in the building, they will turn the lights on for you, and let you take all the photos that you want. The concierge desk at luxury hotels have the connections to those ...

https://www.gyroscopicinvesting.com/forum/download/file.php?id=1849 So business leadership is 20x more effective and valuable than it was in the 60s? The graph is not representative of reality. It is cherry picking the top 350 CEOs. Guess what apparently happens when you REMOVE just those 350 cherr...

I'm also curious why ordinary individuals organizing their interests on wallstreetbets receives bipartisan support but ordinary individuals organizing their interests in a similar forum to improve their wages at fast-food restaurants or walmart invites ire from the political right? Both parties are...

[edit: Mark posted while I was typing] In other news, Facebook has blocked Ron Paul from managing his page "due to repeatedly going against our community standards". What exactly are their "community standards"? I haven't looked into this. Was there a specific post from Ron Paul...

Mark didn't say they were required to let you do whatever. He just asked whether or not it scared you that they have so much power. Yes, but it's confusing for me when Mark doesn't seem to fear handing full control of our policing and legal system to private corporations, but fears the power of pri...

Please stop parroting what the media fed you and think for yourself. Even the article you linked is clear that no one if asking the government to take sides. Twitter lets 'Hang Mike Pence' trend the same day Parler is banned from Google. No one is asking for special treatment, only equal treatment....

The fact remains that social media compaines advertise themselves as a space to share content. Conversations that would have previously taken place in public spaces are now happening online. While I understand that these online conversations are hosted by private companies I feel that there should ...

If everybody is ignoring their constitutions, state lines might not matter.

In a simplified world the price is only affected by the bid-ask spread when a sale happens. If there are 5 known Mickey Mantle baseball cards in the world and I find a 6th one in my basement, the price does not change until the world knows about it by me selling it. If the sale is a private transact...

That was a great read ahrunforthehills. Thank you. No, thank you Mark! Only a small handful of posters keep me checking in on this forum from time to time (too many ego-driven posts for me). However, many of your insights/experiences are especially fascinating to me. This is also exactly why the US...

The US's relationship with gold seems pretty straight-forward... There are 2 outcomes for the US (and the world) in regards to fiat currency: 1. The status quo is maintained (the US wins) or 2. The system collapses and the world returns to a partial (or full) gold standard (the US wins). The US has ...
