current entry is extremely reasonable and not priced according to growth.
Based on what? All the Asian companies trade at significant discounts because of their culturally accepted inefficiencies and corruption. South Korea has some monster prospects but nobody wants to go anywhere near their stock market because of the chaebol influence. All the while they portray themselves as one of the world’s most stable democracies and a poster model of capitalism.

I have no idea what your point is. The fact is, you are not doing yourself any favors saving 600 dollars a year when you are 18 years old.
That was supposed to be my point, I just used a lot more sentences.

600 dollars a year times 20 years is 12,000. Not bad but not a huge amount either. Buys a ratty used car.
Like all the personal finance threads, it conflates multiples variables and operates in a vacuum to reflect a desired result.
The advertised numbers are great. But, if you step back and think about it for a just a moment. Anyone who has parents willing to contribute $600/yr…for 55yrs will be financially fine regardless of the addition of a Trump account.
Or, the argument anyone can find $600/yr to puts aside for their child. That’s likely true, but it’s not much help if it isn’t in addition to maxing out the 529 first, just to get them through college without a six figure debt.
At the end of the day, this will have the same outcome as a 401k. It will greatly benefit anyone that uses it…wont contribute their own funds, and will raid it for any contributions made by others as soon as allowed.

The problem is wealth is much more concentrated in the top 10% nowadays,
This is the factor the OT always dismisses. Every related thread begins with self righteous responses about discipline, personal accomplishment, and if I can do it anyone can.
Within a few pages someone wants to check the math because the results don’t add up. Then the details start to leak and always include some combination of grandparents paying private tuition, parents paying for college, and the finish with a down payment as a wedding gift.
Then someone points out the responses kind of proves the OP’s point. In response those people say FU, helping their kids is expected and they aren’t going to apologize for other families’ poor decision making.
Subsequently, the thread concludes until it is inevitably rehashed a few weeks later.

Still waiting for tiggerdad’s response. Apparently after you graduate you just walk to the bank, present the loan officer with your application and offer him a firm handshake.

When it happens it seems to be right after the ex div and without reason. Last November is the best example since the dividend payment formula was changed in 2023.
Other than that, it’s been smooth sailing with the Juul and budlight fiasco in the rear view.

the whole thing is just weird
The math has become comical. They seem to define mnav by simply dividing the BTC holdings by the 360 million outstanding A/B shares to get their $50 billion in assets and $30billion market cap. But, they ignore the 150 million outstanding c/d/f/g/k shares. I guess that’s what’s considered debt. Then they have $150 million/mo in operational costs.
Using that formula, this should be a steal in six months when the mnav inevitably dips below .5.

Old people need to retire and get out of our way. People working at 65 or above are holding up the progress of younger people. It is a real issue. Their performance slows yet they hold their position as protected class. If you work in a role past 65, you are doing damage to the company and the younger more versatile talent. Retire and go enjoy life.
You’re in luck, because most companies are wholesale cleaning out anyone over 50, and they aren’t hiring anyone from that protected class.
In the next few years there will be a far angrier contingent that realizes they’re on the outside looking in, and need to be prepared for involuntary retirement decades before they even qualify for SS.
