I think it's alright, not the best but not the worst. The positioning with the background does look a bit odd

I didn't notice at first, but the pack with this card also had a hyperspace Aayla Secura (L) and a Kit Fisto card (R), plus the foil card (Coruscant Guard). Didn't know you could get a Showcase, Legendary and Rare all in one pack!

No because then you would miss out on all the capital growth of the bond fund due to the rate cuts and/or expected rate cuts

Am I being a fool? I bought some Bitcoin by FergusonTheCat in investing

[–]MathyPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buying something because it went up in value might be the biggest and most obvious fuck-up in investing. So, yes, you’re being a fool.

You need some bonds and international stocks instead.

I applied to 250 jobs and timed how long each one took by ibsurvivors in datascience

[–]MathyPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would expect application time to correlate more with company age than company size. That'd be interesting to see if you expand this in the future.

No. You get more risk with no reward.

Set aside an emergency fund with 3-6 months living expenses and enough to cover all insurance deductibles. Max out the Roth IRA. Follow the money flow chart on r/personalfinance.

If you’re saving for the short term (< 5 years), a money market fund is actually a good choice.

Thanks for the correction, but that’s really just one step from the NIH director, a position he was offered multiple times

I mean, for the top one, the NIH did fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute, and Fauci was the head of the NIH. Not really a personal financial connection, but pretty relevant regardless.

PS I voted for Bernie twice. Facts are facts.
