re: Need to park 40k somewhere

Whichever ones that are due soon. I just buy in to collect and move on to the next. Chevron most recently.

Still ~35 years from retirement. Won’t be using this money before retirement barring a major medical/life event.
Half of my account is in the typical company managed “aggressive” fund. The other half I manage so that I can have exposure to a wider range of stocks than the company preselected ones. I use half of the “self managed” funds to chase dividend stocks (which has been successful). I’m also heavy in tech/ai currently which has been hugely successful. Curious if it’s advantageous to move heavier into ai (or other areas) in this market or stay with the dividend chasing plan.

STFU with your wanna be hoity toity arse. I’m not sitting in a Merrill Lynch office.
The 40k is currently in a money market account making $0 since as I explained previously it is currently used as a means to chase stock dividends. Maybe you should read to comprehend So, yes, I want to “park” it somewhere so that it can grow and not sit stagnant.
So, do you have a suggestion or are you only here to lecture people on the proper etiquette when proposing a financial question on a sports forum?

I have 50% in a company managed investment direction. The other 50% I manage and is invested in the above stocks. The 40k represents ~25% of my 401k balance.

40k in my 401k. Need to put it some where. Currently hold NBIS (200 shares), MU (2 shares), CLS (?), and NVDA (?). Would you buy into these heavier or diversify with something else?
This 40k was previously used to chase dividends stocks. I’m thinking with the current market there’s more to be made in buying and holding. Thoughts?

Exactly. Rankin is only down 13% with 3% of total votes in and most of those being red areas. Still a looong way to go.

Just voted in Floyd County (6:45 est). The total ballot count was 692 when I was submitting my ballot. I would call it a semi-rural part of the county. Make of that what you will.

BB, I don’t know who you are or where you live but if that comes to fruition I will find you and buy you a beer. Maybe even two.

Name recognition is easy to get when out of state boosters are funding your campaign. Didn’t Ossoff have the most out of state money to ever fund a campaign at the time when he won? I’d love to see a law passed where out of state money can’t be used for state election campaigns.
Purdue won more counties but Ossoff carried the metro areas. Not much cross over is needed in that instance.
The fact Ossoff and “Rev” Warnock won the senate election in the first place is embarrassing. Then again when you run a UGA legacy RB and Loeffler as their opposition what do you expect?

Same. 300 shares with an average cost of $60. Initial buy in was in the $30’s. Should have loaded the boat but I was hesitant because of AUPH (sorry Bayou lol). Had planned to buy a little to just keep it on my radar. I bought NVDA, NBIS, and CLS at the same time. CLS has been the winner but I went more heavy in NBIS. Pleased with both.

This is where I’m torn. As a believer I know we lose the battles but win the war. The bible clearly states that in the end all believers will be persecuted. I use to take that to mean the Muslim takeover worked. You could argue that it’s an entirely different group. Point is we will lose this battle here on earth until the Lord shows up. Makes everything going on seem pointless.

Yep. There’s never going to be an elected official who comes in changes everything. Only way to stop this is We The People and we can’t even get along.

More of this starts happening and we’ll see changes. It’s called accountability and it’s been missing for a long time.

I don’t know. I think everyone is pretty united on the Epstein stuff. That would have been my first box to check. That could have potentially built some good faith with both sides. Be a lot easier to go after fraud if you just showed the entire country how evil these people really were. Big miss of an opportunity in my opinion. My question is why tho? Who are we trying to protect?
quote:
shite the frick up. There have been thousands of arrests you dumb
Name me fricking one then hot shot. Not Bobbie Jo Sue who worked for so and so. A real time big player. Hell name me a mid level arrest. You can’t. “Thousands of arrest”? Get the frick out of here. That’s like saying we put a dent in drug trafficking after arresting thousands of street dealers. Really? That’s what you’re going to hang your hat on? And the fact that you think there’s some huge behind the scenes case being built is pathetic. That’s no different than the “Trust Sessions” bullshite we heard for 4 years last time. There’s no 4D chess, there’s no master plan, there’s no RICO case that’s suddenly going to drop.
Maybe I am an idiot. An idiot for thinking something would happen this go around.
And to add to it. This is the problem. Pacifist like yourself. “Oh you’re an idiot” “There’s been a lot happen” “They’re building a case”. Dude, we should have been knocking doors down week one. The time for case building was the first term. Do you seriously think if they, and when I say they I mean everyone in on it not just dem or repubs, but do you think they would “build cases”? frick no. Dude they tracked down and locked up people who were present at J6 just through surveillance video. But we’re building a case? What are we even talking about?

Exactly. This isn’t a red or blue issue for me. This isn’t about cute acronyms and buzzwords like MAGA and panician. This isn’t 4D chess or any of that bullshite. This is about exactly what you said. Rat bastards that are nothing less than enemies of the state. They are bankrupting our country for their own good at our expense.
I’m at a total lose on why we haven’t seen arrests. Seriously. As you said there’s enough known about all that you listed to where at least one arrest should have already been made. Why hasn’t it happened? Out of all the fraud and treason that has taken place, why not a single arrest?
quote:
What is your delusion to explain why nothing happened?
I explained it in my previous post. Nobody, who can do something about it, wants to do something about it. Everyone has their hand in the cookie jar. The same shite that is happening in Minnesota is happening in California and Georgia and Texas and this red state and this blue state.
I’m very aware of how the world works. They hide behind a shield of “circumstantial” because they know that anyone who could shed the real light on what’s going on won’t because they’re doing it too.
