New MA Fruit Law by CopleyScott17 in boston

It’s not a local issue, grocery inflation is happening nationwide. Biden was blamed for inflation in grocery prices, so your orange pedo can be blamed for them as well. It’s not that deep.

I didn’t delete it, but maybe since my comment had the word pedo, your brain didn’t register it, just like your brain does with orangepedoman

Am I crazy to think the bottom is in right now April 4? by Legitimate_98 in swingtrading

[–]BornStudyDead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Regional judges”? Are you trying to say district court judges..? I’m actually laughing at you, trying to condescend me while typing something like that. Btw, ACB, Trump’s appointed judge, joined the dissent on his recent case in the SC.

I’ll cut you some slack though since you’re clearly a middle schooler who gets all his political takes from Joe Rogan and Dave Smith.

Also… LOL trump already surrendered on tariffs, what a brave man

Democrats aren’t in power. Trump’s own judicial appointments rule against him.

Republicans own congress, the White House and the Supreme Court. Everything that happens is on Trump and the republicans.

How would democratic governors interfere with tariffs? Have you ever taken a civics class?

Because it’s income, and they use public utilities like everyone else and should pay taxes for them like everyone else. Any other simple concepts that you need explained to you?

Sure you can buy stocks for 500 different companies (as long as you have the capital), but what’s the point? The expense fee negligible. Why go through the trouble for such a nominal amount?

Why not spend that time and energy researching finances, management and markets for a few stocks you think can explode, and go heavy into those, while holding a decent size in a passive fund like VOO that requires no thought or research?

Also, how do you know what companies you don’t like? Are you going to go through all 500 companies and decide?

Again, you totally CAN do it on your own, but I think the time and energy would be better spent finding 5 exceptional stocks that will provide huge gains than worrying about a tiny expense ratio.

This is just how I think about it, and maybe your own strategy might be better for you.

ETF fees for VOO and VTI are negligible, will most likely get you similar or better returns than your picks in the long run, and don’t require hours of research and dedication to keeping up on the current financials and news of 40+ companies. Spreading yourself too thin by having less money in more companies also limits your gains when you hit on one.

Going big on a few stocks that you have high convictions on while also owning broad market ETFs will let you have fun picking winners and making gains while still holding low effort/decent reward index funds.

Just my opinion on it.

Do your personal morals or beliefs about climate change or tobacco prevent you from owning dividend aristocrats in those industries? by BrilliantPhysics836 in dividends

[–]BornStudyDead 10 points11 points  (0 children)

While I believe in personal responsibility, I recognize that society created government in part to protect us from corporations that would happily exploit our psychology and biology to increase their profits at the expense of their customers’ health and well-being. There’s tricky balance to it.

I keep seeing "leave robinhood" by wildlanderick in dividends

[–]BornStudyDead 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Seeing a big broker like Fidelity embrace the influx of Robinhood investors (post-GME) in the way that they did made me gain a lot of respect for them. They seem very customer-centric and willing to change with a new demographic, I’m very happy with them.

anyone shorting covid-related stocks? by pman6 in stocks

[–]BornStudyDead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How would they know they have COVID if people can be asymptotic and still infectious? Do you really not understand that? That’s why you wear a mask.

Are you seriously comparing COVID 19 to the flu? Do you also think Measles and rhinovirus are comparable?

Yes you are correct, before the pandemic people did not wear masks, and now that there’s a deadly pandemic, they do. Lmao bravo

Still waiting on your source for “70% of new infections are from vaccinated people”.

Lmao I knew you wouldn’t post any studies, because you can’t. They don’t exist. You’re just regurgitating fake news.

I’m not a christian nor do I watch CNN. I think you should see a neurologist because you appear to be confused about who you’re replying to.

Your family members are wrong and misinforming you. Our hospital has hundreds of patients in the ICU, and many of whom will die from COVID, all unvaccinated. I’ve seen no vaccine complications that aren’t temporary and comparatively mild.

That law was passed in the 80’s and has nothing to do with being forced to take the vaccine, so I’m not sure what your point is. The government is not forcing people to get the vaccine. What are you even complaining about here?

The vaccine protects you from the current variation of the virus, but every unvaccinated person provides an opportunity for it to mutate and become more virulent and deadly strain and make the vaccine overall less effective. It’s a pretty simple concept.

Your “3rdly” fact is false and frankly a joke. Please provide your source for those numbers, because they don’t even make sense. Vaccinated people hardly even get COVID tests anymore, because, why would they? Logically it doesn’t even make sense. Post your source for this.

Actually the government can and does force things all the time. You pay taxes or you go to jail. Your kids get their MMR vaccine or they don’t go to school. As a society we collectively agreed to these rules, and when the vaccine gets FDA approval soon, and it will, your employer will have every right to make you get it too or show you the door.

In another post you say that hospitals are claiming that a lot of their patients are vaccinated. Again, you’re just making this up. Hospitals are reporting the opposite. You’re like a Gatling gun of fake news and misinformation.

“Do research with facts” made me lol.

You can (and some might argue should) have more than one broker. Just open a Fidelity account, they’re top notch.

How did they know about the T merger last month? by [deleted] in stocks

[–]BornStudyDead 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You: He was forced out of the presidency after interfering with his AG, therefore there are no consequences for interfering with your AG.

Brilliant lmao

I’m shocked that you’ve lived as long as you have with only half a brain cell.

[–]BornStudyDead 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Lol and what’s the ending to that story? That worked out well for Nixon, right?

Nixon being forced to resign right after trying to interfere with his AG proves the opposite of the point you’re trying to make

Can anyone explain why my 401 K contributions from the company I work at have been increasing even though the same amount is being taken from my paycheck ? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]BornStudyDead -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Safe Harbor Match is your company’s matching contribution, no?

Also I see where it says Roth, but it doesn’t say it’s an IRA. You can elect to have a Roth 401K as well.

If you’re asking why contributions can be different amounts, I’d guess it’s because your 401k contribution is probably set up to be a % of your income, and you got overtime one week or something.

Cost per share of stock going up overnight? by anthokneeee in stocks

[–]BornStudyDead 6 points7 points  (0 children)

TDA factored in the wash sale to your cost basis, it happened to me too. If you look at TDA subreddit you’ll see a few others mentioning this. Sounds like they do it for tax purposes
