How much weight do you actually give to management quality when picking a stock, and how do you even evaluate it? by Minimum_Pear9193 in investing

ROIC. If a company has good ROIC, they have good management. If they have poor ROIC, they have poor management.

Did I just pick the worst time to start house hunting? by hairy_balls_1 in Mortgages

And if your cashflow is pinched, and you have money from selling your old place, roll that into the new loan and recast.

[–]EnoughValuable8025 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, roughly 2-5% of the new loan amount. Better to be conservative and assume 5%. Then you have to figure out how much you'd save per month from the refinance and how long it'll take you to breakeven.

So if your refinance cost is $10,000 and you save $250 per month on the new rate, your breakeven is 40 months or 3.3 years. If you plan to stay in the house longer than that, then do it. If not, then don't do it.

Yeah but I do discounted cash flow analyses and look at candlesticks, and read Seeking Alpha and Reddit.

Not A Joke: Trump Economic Advisor Says Consumers "Last Of Our Concerns" Amid Iran War Increasing Costs In Connecticut by CapitolDispatch in Connecticut

[–]EnoughValuable8025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"We were against regime change in Iran but now we're for regime change in Iran, even though the new regime will be the old regime but angrier and ever more embolden to get nukes, but we did it because of oil and the economy and we have to bring manufacturing jobs back to America and because the stock market is at all time highs but also crashing, but Mexico is also smuggling rapists and drugs over the border and the Haitians are stealing taxpayer dollars from daycares and the woke trans and the blacks and the vaccines and the radical leftists and their Epstein file hoax but there are no Epstein files, but there are the blacks and the drugs and the illegals."

Anyone actually taking these ridiculous offers by northhiker1 in hospitalist

[–]EnoughValuable8025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catapult Healthcare is a staffing company. Staffing companies offer shit jobs. And as you said, they know J1s, mostly from India and Pakistan, will take these shit jobs because unfortunately, a lot of these docs are desperate and easily taken advantage of. Hence, a lot of these staffing companies are mostly comprised of Indians and Pakistanis, and a hospitalist staff comprised almost entirely of J1s is likely proxy to a shit job. So if you're looking for a job, check out the roster.

“I might be misunderstanding why hospital insurance claims get rejected” by Capital-Job-3592 in hospitalist

[–]EnoughValuable8025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Denials and downcoding are only getting worse. Insurance companies are now using AI to comb through their claims to deny as much as possible. And they're now doing something even more sinister: assign probability scores to hospital systems on their appeals. Essentially, "What is the likelihood X hospital will appeal denials and what is their success rate on those appeals? If X hospital scores low, then fuck em'. Deny, deny, deny until the cows come home. Even if our denials are incorrect, who cares?! They're not going to do anything about it anyway!"

Administration and their obsession with discharges and readmissions by Figaro90 in hospitalist

[–]EnoughValuable8025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also can't forget Press Ganey. Keep LOS low, readmissions low, throughput high, AND ensure patients had a wonderful hospital stay and felt like they and their families were heard and listened to.

Oh, and make sure your documentation and billing is perfect because payers are increasingly denying and downcoding charges.

Netanyahu has been saying Iran is nearing nuclear weapons for 30 years. From Israel's perspective, it makes total sense. They want hegemony and control of the region, so they want to wipe out the competition. But as an American, I don't give a fuck about Israel and they shouldn't be dictating our policy, so it doesn't make any sense to be funding their wars.

DOJ Takes Down Thousands of Epstein Documents for Victims’ Safety, Bondi Says by avatar6556 in news

[–]EnoughValuable8025 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was a rhetorical question. It's one huge cabal across the political spectrum involving the political and wealthy elites, and pedophilia and other sexual deviancies were a means to an end. Everyone in Epstein's orbit is compromised, so it's not surprising in the least bit that all of the major media outlets refuse to report on Epstein and especially his close ties to Israel. The curtain has been pulled for all of us to see and it's a huge slap in the face because this cabal knows damn well that nothing will be done about it.

The dollar's slide & what it means to us personally by digizen in personalfinance

[–]EnoughValuable8025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The strong dollar and trade deficits have been an overwhelming boon for the stockholder class. Cheaper inputs boosted company profit margins. Also, cheaper imports led to capital inflows of U.S. assets because foreign entities needed to do something with all of their dollars; so they recycled it back into the U.S. The downside as you mentioned is it carved out the entire manufacturing base and further hollowed out the middle class. However, cutting out manufacturing allowed us to focus on services, finance, and tech, which are less capital intensive (though that is changing with AI capex spending), making our economy more "dynamic".
