Thru the advancement of American society our women learned the pleasures of a 40 hour work week in addition to child rearing, and a 40% obesity rate. Is this the cause of the rise of gender reassignment surgeries?
I'm asking this sincerely. Why do you care what a person does to their own body?
Today was an insane day (which I didn't even realize until I read your post). I made almost enough on paper today to pay the original price of my house that I bought in 1999.
Inflation down. Stock market up.
Kind of lame to say how much you made. What reason would you have to tell us. And you are probably lying.
I actually disagree with that. Although I only made enough to buy a decent bike, I never begrudge anybody their gain unless it is the result of either a scam, market manipulation, or insider trading.
Flagpole self-admittedly knows nobody, has no power, and does nothing as far as the markets are concerned. He is a lazy, powerless, nothing. What he got today was given to him, and he's right to take it, and be happy about it.
Yesterday supported that theme that all of a year's gain happens on essentially only 5 days, or something like that. And ditto the losses. I used to do very well by avoiding those critical down days, and I avoided essentially all of them--but it required vigilance, flexibility, and responsiveness--i.e. it took time.
But, of course, at the same time I did not participate in all of the 5 up days--in fact, hardly any.
With the markets arguably biased in an inexorably upward direction, it would seem to make more sense over time just to be in, and to endure the ups and downs. I am, however, waiting to avoid the next down, because I can afford to wait. I don't need to maximize at this point, and am psychologically comfortable with waiting. My slow grind higher continues today...
But hats off to those of you who are in, and who participated well yesterday, even Flagpole. Excellent!

I think flagpole has or had his own business. Is that right?
hard to call anyone who started, runs and supports himself by his own wits 'lazy!'

I did. Was initially hard work, but once it got going, it wasn't smooth sailing. Still, I had to work at it.
OK, I think trans are mentally ill. I am glad I was never ignorant enough to take any of the Covid vaccines. Obesity is a national epidemic. Meanwhile your new better society:
I agree. There is hardly anything lazier than just putting money into diversified mutual funds like clockwork. BUT, you have to do it. It takes committment to decide to invest for the future and not spend for today.
You do know that you haven't a clue you are comparing apples to oranges. But it is amusing. Thanks, Mr. Pole.
I know EXACTLY what I am comparing. Seems to bother you when I do it, so that's a bonus.
You are comparing a well-diversified portfolio of a multitude of stocks and funds to a very specific group of 30 industrials. Is that not comparing apples to oranges?
I could be wrong, but it seems to me that Flagpole made one critical (correct) observation a long time ago, and has since done nothing other than implement a passive strategy.
Lazy, and potentially brilliant. Or maybe just disciplined or arrogant enough to never second-guess, although the doubt is there.
Between those options, I will choose lazy--it's much more fun. OK, actively lazy, if you want.

Mrs. Flagpole is working her butt off 10 hours a day while Flagpole plays around here. Not sure I would agree to that If I was Mrs. Flagpole. She seems like a great lady.
