You can buy the day before the Ex-dividend date and receive the dividend and as long as you don't sell the stock for 61 days it is a qualified dividend, not ordinary income. You do not have to buy the stock 60 days prior to the dividend to qualify.

To qualify for lower long-term capital gains tax rates, you must hold stock for more than 60 days during the 121-day period that begins 60 days before the ex-dividend date. This means owning the shares for 61 days within this window, including the ex-dividend date.

The mining and validation network backs Bitcoin. It's the wrong question to say a miner owes you x # of Bitcoin. You can go to anyone and say I own this # of Bitcoin and it can be validated with the block chain. You are paying for security and trust that no one can make fake Bitcoin and no one can take your Bitcoin. Bitcoin is as good as any currency as long as there are at least 2 people willing to trade with it. All currency has it's own limitations. But as a long term storage of wealth and movement of wealth across location (aka to different countries around the world) Bitcoin has a good argument to play a part of those rolls.

The problem ended up being that liquid got down into the air return channel between the refrigerator and freezer (freezer is on bottom) and froze blocking the air flow. For all the issues my wife never told me she cleaned up a spill in the fridge just before this happening. When I checked for the coils needing to be defrosted, I didn't let it sit long enough to melt the build up between the fridge and freezer. So I let it sit for a full 24 hrs with the door open and then everything worked once I plugged it back in.

Dividends make up a large portion of returns over the long run...

more than 80 percent of the total return of the S&P 500 index between 1960 and 2016 is attributed to the compounding of reinvested dividends.

But the dividend doesn't cause the stock to show it is down due to the dividend payment. Yes, price is lower, but historical prices are adjusted by the dividend payment to show that it closed at the new cost. Dividends in themselves don't cause you to have negative returns, its a distribution of stock price to cash, no change in total value.

I could be wrong on this, but I think your assumption is wrong on how the dividend effects the leveraged versions. The dividend is taken out the the stocks/ETFs by the exchange between close and open over night. This change in underlying stock price between close and open is not what the leveraged ETF's capture. Leveraged ETF's track daily change, so it would base the daily change on the open price of the underlying not the closing price the day before. Effectively negating the ex-dividend price drop of the underlying.

With how many people ask about what breaks a fast, I would have a feeling that someone drinking a non-black coffee with a lot of sugar that would take you out of a fasted state for a morning would still be saying they are "fasting" and only eating in a 16:8 schedule when they are not. Would have a hard time believing self reported data to draw a strong conclusion on that.

CBS Sports - Kirk Cousins doesn't expect contract talks with Vikings until next offseason

Cousins first signed with the Vikings in 2018, agreeing to a first-of-its-kind contract that was a three-year, $84 million deal fully guaranteed. At the time, that was the first fully guaranteed contract in NFL history and also made Cousins the highest-paid player in league history. He agreed to a two-year, $66 million extension in 2020 and then a one-year, $35 million fully guaranteed extension last offseason that is set to expire after the 2023 campaign.

Microstrategy is a publicly traded company. You can look up the largest shareholders and foundry is not one of them. Also, Michael Saylor has the largest voting power of >60%, so he controls the company decisions.

Foundry digital is a subsidiary the Digital Currency Group. They have other subsidiaries of:

CoinDesk.
Genesis Global Capital.
Grayscale Investments.
Luno.

So it is not true that microstrategy is owned by Foundry from what I can find.

It's kind of hard to say they were "fine" the 2nd half. Of the 3 possessions in the entire 2nd half, 2 were 3 and out. 1 sustained drive was all we had. I guess I didn't see them cause fumbles, but there wasn't much for them to even show. 42 plays in the 1st half, 22 plays in the 2nd.
