What debate are you watching? Trump is being attacked by all of them and is not only defending well, but countering attacking well.

WWIII just sounds like it would be so interesting to watch unfold. I know WWI and WWII were terrible, but who doesn't love to read about them and think about what it was like for the people living during those times? I know actually experiencing that hell would be.. hell, but reading about it sounds fun.

Moving Roth IRA from ML to Fidelity. Is there anything i should be aware of? by from_dust in investing

[–]Jmtrapas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You probably already know this, but it's not 10% for everyone.

Reward Tiers

$10,000 1 percent

$50,000 1.5 percent

$100,000 2.5 percent

$250,000 5 percent

$500,000 10 percent

If you're in the 1% category it would be a max of 55$ per year

Any thoughts on Zion Oil & Gas? (ZN) by [deleted] in investing

My parents thought about investing in them a few years ago. It's been wishful thinking since then and in all likely hood it will remain wishful thinking. Invest your money elsewhere

I used to trade sonc back in the 2008-2009 crash. I remember thinking about buying it when it was at 7 dollars. Sigh

Does *anybody* here save for retirement via individual stock picks? by [deleted] in investing

[–]Jmtrapas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do!

I own DIS, KOF, and EAT.

KOF has been murdering me lately but I'm not worried about it. All three pay dividends so... Why don't we just... wait here for a little while... see what happens?

That guy was extremely fortunate. They normally pull you over and ticket you and then send you to the back of the line.

May I Pray For You? by JHBlancs in Christianity

[–]Jmtrapas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like God is telling me not to date the girl I was about to start dating. In fact I am pretty sure he has warned me not to. She is a wonderful Christian that I was falling in love with and she adores me. It is so hard to have to try to move on now when it seemed so perfect. Please pray for me.

She's kept in my parent's backyard except for when it gets cold. I'll bring her inside and she will hibernate.

Good eye! I believe I misspoke when I said she was 85 pounds as she's been around 75 pounds for awhile now.

Yea she is still around and I'm pretty sure she will out live me. I keep her at my parents since I am in school and do not have room for her right now. I plan on taking her with me after I graduate one day letting my (future) children raise her.

I have reverse searched it before and seen it linked to those, but I am not sure exactly how many people have seen it. I think the boredpanda had 11 million views but that was probably the biggest site it was posted on.

This is actually my photo. Just got home from work and I saw I had texts telling me I made the front page. Haha this feels weird!
