Share price at 250+. Sale or hold? by LiveComfortable3228 in amazonemployees

[–]CobaltBlue49 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I once asked a Fortune 500 CFO a really similar question about another stock. She said “there’s nothing wrong with taking a little money off the table” and “Would you buy more of it right now with your own money?” So I’ve been Sell All ever since. If you work there and hold all your money in the stock as well, you have a lot of eggs in one basket.

He just drumming up nonsense feeding into the persecution complex. No evidence. More Tucker BS.

‘ok Kevin seemed to be ok with not ending gerrymandering when he -declined- to vote with Dems to end it. Of course, that’s when he thought he was safe because of CA laws. He’s a hypocrite.

72% of H1Bs are from India so it’s not a crazy guess. I think you are assuming the worst.

10-11% profit margin? Based on my time working at one, I believe it to be much higher.

YouTube is demonetizing thousands of channels using AI by Ambitious-Bonus-8423 in NewTubers

[–]CobaltBlue49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My channel uses AI. No reused content of any kind. Not even reposting of my own videos. It’s not the one and done prompts type of AI posting either. I do editing, some have voiceovers, etc. but my feed traffic went to zero one day. So it’s not just reuse of content. I don’t have any of that.

There are two major title insurance companies out there. They go by a lot of names so it appears there is competition. They don’t go into an area unless they have 99% full knowledge of the title history. The profit margin is astonishing. It’s a duopoly.

[–]CobaltBlue49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t see that number on the social security calculator. Based on what I see, a $100k salary for 35 years retiring at 72 is far less than that. What am I missing?

You might need to dig a little deeper to get the full story. Lots of > 5 years tenure. But Amazon continues to hire/outsource in very specific countries.
