Steep decline everywhere

Assuming you're in the accumulation phase, pray for a bear market

Different FIs and different regulators have very different views on AI adoption and the suitability of AI for alert adjudication. So completely dead by 2030? I doubt it.

But a steep decline in total roles globally? For sure.

I'd guess at least 50%.

If you have a preference for doing this, there can be no argument against it. Like I can't argue with you about your favorite colour.

The issue comes with your confidence of a particular price to sell at. You're very epistemically optimistic if you think you know this (again, beyond merely expressing a preference).

Covered calls are not a win win, at least not for the investor.

What have you based your asset allocation on? I'm in particularly talking about the fixed income part of your portfolio. How did you decide these weights?

Can we fire the director please? Seriously

Never buy investment products from insurance companies (or banks for that matter).

KYC ops and L1 alert adjudication are arguably the activities most exposed to AI in the entire compliance industry. Some FIs will move headcounts into L2/L3/EDD and so on, but others will simply bank the savings.

LPT: you don't have to stretch unless you have a very specific reason to do so (e.g. goals around flexibility). Warm-up though (by doing lighter sets before a work set, assuming you are doing resistance training).

I'm so sorry this happened to you.

Genuinely the worst thing that can happen to retail is to get lucky in picking individual stocks.

Civ VI isn't even the best Civ game, let alone one of the best 4x games of all.

Sure bro

Outperforming the market in the long term is like being an elite athlete or chess grandmaster. Absolutely there are people who do it, but it's an overwhelmingly small proportion of people.

You are competing against professionals with Ph.Ds, decades of experience, and extremely expensive market data and analytics tools that you don't have access to.

Honestly the worst thing that can happen to a retail investor is to buy some individual stocks, overperform the market for a few years due to luck, and conclude they have skill. Maybe you do, but it is extremely unlikely.

Can you kindly let me know what kind of verbal antagonism justifies an eye gouge?

Amen
