re: If You Could Bring Any Movie Back to Theaters, Which Would It Be and Why? Let's Share!
Posted by Helo on 3/4/24 at 1:23 pm
Aliens is still my favorite theater experience ever.
Packed theater, amazing plot, slow burn in the beginning followed by an adrenaline rush with ups and owns throughout.
Even though a sequel, it is one of the rare ones that exceeded the original (imo).
Some other movies I wish I could wat...

[quote]There is massive difference in NVDA vs the dot bomb era….
NVDA makes massive amounts of money. All those dot coms were smoke and mirrors and lost billions[/quote]

You can't put money into an IRA unless you have earned income. It is early in the year so work out something with him where he gets a job and he gets $1 for every $2 saved from the money. If you can get him to save 2or 3k, that would be great at such a young age.

re: What high yield savings account do you use
Posted by Helo on 12/22/23 at 3:02 pm
I use Morgan Stanley and Betterment.
I wouldn't e surprised if we see the rates at the top now and they start sliding early next year.
CD rates have fallen by almost 50 basis points in the past 2 weeks.
HYSA are likely to follow....
