Yea but A) your savings account don't compound tax-free at 5% B) this was a really slow quarter, 4Q for example was 15% YoY growth and finally C) there's lots of crap in the S&P 500 too. Companies like GOOGL literally delivering 60% YoY net income growth in these macro conditions. It's honestly pretty fucking amazing. MSFT delivering 20%+ too. AAPL guidance good, Cook sounded pretty upbeat and optimistic. 2Q is going to be an explosive quarter most likely. Jobs look good, soaring real incomes. I just don't get the irrational negativity lol. Do mostly VOO, use small amount of responsible leverage on SPY (based on your risk tolerance) and beat the market...

Apple also has the looming DOJ Monopoly lawsuit. This had to be like their worse fucking quarter for a decade. So they pushed the Plan B button an announced a Buy Back to offset truly how bad they are doing. And the whole market ate it tf up. I'd agree with you. But it's Apple man. They never lose. I was so convinced yesterday AAPL alone would crash the fucking market with their earnings call. But look at it now.

This is a b******* argument and you know it. Bitcoin is a permanent record and now brings with it tax consequences. The US dollar it proclaims it can replace s**** all over Bitcoin. I can still buy many many things in this world with a stack of hundreds in a face-to-face transaction that Uncle Sam will never know about.

I’m saying for sellers. If sellers are profiting that means buyers are losing. I’m not advocating selling to open I’m advocating thinking beyond “I’m going to be so rich!!” Both bears and Theta gang plan to be rich today. One is a sophisticated behemoth of thousands of technologically assisted market makers and the other group is degenerate gamblers with zero market knowledge and mechanical understanding. The bears are losing because they don’t understand how selling these to them works. That’s all I’m trying to help them see. It’s being sold to you as a guaranteed loss b

No one trusts China, everyone relies on their production though. This balance will continue to exist until they either A) invade a country and prove once and for all they cannot even be trusted with production (war). or B) they get with the reality of a Democracy and free (er) capital markets which will overturn the global reserve instantly. The USA is looking corrupt as fuck in our financial markets now. Single party systems breed dictators, dictators cannot be trusted, too much power concentration = corruption and that destroys everything. Xi is pushing more towards those communist power concentrations now. It will get worse, like USSR. Honestly no place looks like they got their shit together which is why everyone is stressed and thinks war.

Let's see. We could A) Give workers a raise B) Buy back stock. The good thing about option B is the stock price goes up and top executives can get 40% raises and bonuses before the price goes back down.

> 110 B would have been a lot of R&D well spent. How? R&D gets us the vision pro and apple car.
