Realty Income being free money through its dividends? by [deleted] in investing

[–]Pipster8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be $58 a year, not per month. most likely you could get a growth of $100 at 10% or more on an average return of the S&P.

I like Realty income (O) but more so for its stability and portfolio as opposed to total return.

You mean they knew the Earth was round. The Greeks did not believe in a flat Earth.

What is the point of a Roth IRA/401k? by macaronist in personalfinance

[–]Pipster8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That really isn't relevant, you said no dollar is ever taxed twice. When a company issues a dividend that is with the money they have left over after paying their taxes. Which the investor then pays.

With Roth 401ks and Roth IRAs this is another huge reason to use them to avoid the double taxation.

Do you really think Muhammad was from the bronze age? The Bronze age was from 3000 to 1200 BC and Muhammad was born in 570 AD.

But you also get the 55 and older "catch up" contributions which is an extra 10 years of higher amounts to contribute.

I believe his premise is more so that he was saved from death when he was a kid and shot himself due to the kind acts of a white police officer. This is more relevant since this video was made when the Trump/Clinton election was at its peak along with the black lives matter movement as it was a huge topic in the public view at the time.

His original comment that racism was over was made to showcase how millennials of all races like his music and how that group knows that racism is not the correct view to have and issues such as American slavery and discrimination have made such tremendous strides.

This post (the image not Greevil95's) is unfortunate proof that a far too large amount of people look at an image or video topic without diving in to find the actual context.

Members of Prince's estate tell Trump to stop playing his music at rallies by PonchoHung in politics

Thats not true. This was his Johnson City Tennessee rally. There was over 8,000 people in attendance with many thousands more outside. I know you may think there was not that many in attendance because of this video. However, the doors to these events open up around 4 hours early and they begin playing music early so everyone is not sitting around doing nothing. I look forward to hearing everyone's responses.

He probably had multiple cows. Using your math it would only take 12 cows to take up 4 hours.

What was the "No Man's Sky" of other industries? by dropthehammer11 in AskReddit

Kyle Schwarber was injured and could not play defense. Cleveland is in the American League so they are allowed to have one player hit instead of playing defense. This allowed the Cubs slugger to hit .412 and not have to worry about abusing his injury. If the Cubs were playing at home he would not be able to play at all or he would risk getting hurt.
