I'm on my 3rd Labatt blue while thinking of a recently lost loved one & listening to this

The government would never do that, as they take in way too much money on those items, especially alcohol. The tax on that alone is 10.35% here in Minnesota. As for illegal drugs, they can't even control those in a controlled environment like prisons, no way can they control it on the street.

Same thing I've been asking for years. I'll take it a step further & say that those of you who round up for the starving children, etc are enabling/encouraging people like that to continue making incredibly asinine decisions. Some a hole knocked on my door Sunday afternoon & left the following. Scouting America twin valley council. Scouting for food. Put donated items in plastic bags, attach this note and place by the front door before 9 AM scouts will pick up on Saturday, March 22, 2025, types of items needed: canned foods dry pasta & cereal tissues paper products baby formula diapers.

Had to bury a loved one Thursday. Last time I bought a suit was in 2010, but because I could barely fit into that, decided to go the sports coat & dress shirt route. Went to a local establishment and was asked if I wanted coffee or a beer ? Should have walked out right then. Tried on 4 different sport jackets before deciding on a Enzo Tovare $595 less 20% discount = $476.00 Also tried on 4 different dress shirts before deciding on a Emanuel Berg: At this time I told him to wrap it up. He took the jacket to another area to remove the tags. That's when I noticed the price tag. I'll stop here & say that the jacket was attractive & high-quality, so I had no problem with the price of $476 Now let's see some guesses as to how much the dress shirt cost.

You're right, & normally I would have, but as I stated....

It was meant to be sarcasm. I earned everything I have.

.......U ain't right

I've been very fortunate when it comes to my health. All I suffer from is a mild case of white privilege.

$298.00

I sold a lot of football cards on eBay in 2020. Shipping was already expensive versus the last time I've sold about five years earlier & I expect it's far higher now. EBay and PayPal fees have also went up a lot & buyers also have to pay sales tax at the time of purchase if they live in a state that has one. You can sell up to $2500 worth of items on eBay for 2025 before a 1099 materializes. Next year that amount drops to $600 One more thing about eBay that may interest you. They always side with the buyer when any type of problem arises. If you want to see what vinyl has been selling for on eBay recently, you can choose completed listings.

$298.00 When he got back I said “please tell me that isn't the right price for this shirt” he said it was the correct price and asked if I wanted to try something different. It's on me because I should've insisted on something cheaper, but it had been a really busy/crappy week & I wanted nothing more than to get home & have a couple drinks. Lesson learned. https://bestmastertailor.com/products/emanuel-berg-blue-stripe-luxury-poplin-dress-shirt?variant=46242636071134&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&utm_campaign=gs-2020-01-04&utm_source=google&utm_medium=smart_campaign&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADrmbvToYAzfpCyTbC2gB14oln1pQ

Winston Churchill I am 60 years old and over my 40 years of corporate work history, every 8 to 10 years, just when things recovered and are going well, the movers and shakers, disrupt the entire system, it goes down and new millionaires are made after the dust settles, but this time around, I am more worried, mainly due to the fact that we have lost our moral fiber and through out the USA, liberals are destroying the family structure and people no longer want to work and seem more focused on LGBTQ+ agendas than progress or just stability. Add to this, the world stage that is on the verge of melt down, we should all be very concerned. I travel for work and I see small town USA in a disarray and drugs, crime and a breakdown in structure.

That's a shame

Exactly right. People tend to get greedy. The S&P 500 tallied back-to-back gains of over 20% in 2023 and 2024 Compounded, that = a gain of 44% in 2 years.

I would be whistling Dixie out of my behind if I'd only lost that much yesterday. You're looking like a genius, at least for today, Markets down again with the main difference being, the defensive stocks that had been rallying while tech was dropping, are also red. Apple trading around $222 I've been tempted to add to it in this area several times but when I look at the fact it's still selling at 32 x, I can't bring myself to do it. Kohl's cratering today. Something good will come out of it though. I bet a guy named Ed that when they reported today, they'd slash the dividend by at least 50% If that didn't happen, I'd donate $500 to St Jude's, if it did, he'd make the donation. They slashed it by 75%

I wasn't saying they were wrong in being wary of bitcoin. I was only stating my disapproval of them trying to play God by not allowing others willing to speculate in it, to be able to do so & discuss their strategies with others who felt the same way. As for Fidelity active trader pro, I tried it in the past & it wasn't for me. I'm not that active of a trader & I use a minimal amount of technical analysis. Isn't a death cross a bearish signal ? If I have that right, not sure why you'd want to start a position at that point.
