Wanna know why I'm not a millionaire?

The Dow closed yesterday at 46,245.41 that's up +493.15 points from the previous close, up 1.08% in just one day...   
I am obviously no genius when it comes to this shit. The broader S&P 500 finished out the day 0.98% higher and the Nasdaq was up by 0.88%. Friday’s gains cap a topsy-turvy and highly confusing week for markets. Thankfully for Babs, I don't dabble. The shit stays where it is and does what it does. Reason? Well, ya gotta go back a coupla years to 2016. This was my insight back then:


That's a 243% gain in 9 short years, and I was talking about bailing out. And then I had the balls to try and substantiate my comment:

Maybe I should learn to shut the fuck up when I'm talking about shit 
I know nothing about, huh? Juss' sayin'...

President Trump hailed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s surprising resignation announcement Friday as “great news” for America. “I think it’s great news for the country,” Trump told ABC News during a brief phone call. “It’s great,” he added.

The president indicated that Greene did not share her plans with him ahead of her social media post announcing her intention to leave office on Jan. 5, 2026, and said he had no plans to speak with her.

A North Carolina driver had the ride of her life when a cat came crashing through her front windshield on the highway - after it was dropped by a bald eagle overhead. Melissa Schlarb, the 28-year-old motorist, was driving to work around 8 a.m. Wednesday along US Route 74 near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park when the kitty corpse blasted through her vehicle.

This is legit. The Brietbart website is selling them. They'll probably sell out. 
What does that tell you about people and the stuff they buy?

In the days before Fakebook existed, when we wanted to 'unfriend' somebody, we did it with magic markers. The mug that's blacked out in this one? That would be Bruce Stringspeem himself. The other two are Southside Johnny and Steve VanZant. Oh, that's me onn the right...

  1. Historically, over time the stock market is the only way to make money with passive investing, and the only way to stay ahead of inflation.

    You can buy mutual funds or ETF's that pretty much mirror the Dow or the Nasdaq. They go up when the market goes up, take no work, and at least generally average a 14% per year rise in buying power. Even if they fall short term, on average they rise long term.

  4. I'm so effing mad at Trump! He thinks Mamdani is a good guy??? WTF! There's no such thing as a good muslim. Period. Every single one of them should be deported. Mosques going up right and left. Governments and schools taken over. Call to prayer blasted 5 times a day. They tell you right to your face you will be their slave. WAKE UP!

  5. Investing is impossible when you're competing agains't computers that can make millions on a bet that lasts minutes. Going against the big mutual funds that run the world? Good luck.

    1. Market timing is hard. Investing regularly and staying invested over the long term is better than money in the bank at a low interest rate.

  8. The GOP watching Trump go on live TV, call Mamdani a good guy, reject claims he’s a jihadist, and casually blow up every attack line they’ve built against him, priceless!

    Trump probably thought he was a Saudi property developer investing in one of his schemes, The Saudis are our bestest buddies after all and much loved by Trump.
