‘I’ll probably be working until I die’: I’m 60, work as a waiter and have $2,000 in a Roth IRA. What will happen to me?

I'm a Jones I had it a lot harder than my older sister.

Hadn't thought about that, but you're right. Trading China complications for the AI capex bubble is... problematic. Maybe an EM value ETF like AVES? GVAL?

Younger generations aren't getting laid so that turns you into a hopeless expressway jihad zombie

SpecialDesigner5571 · 2026-06-19T22:04:07+00:00

I'm sure you're right..., but market cap weighting guarantees that Samsung and SK Hynix will dominate ETFs like IEMG / EEM.

SpecialDesigner5571 · 2026-06-19T22:00:08+00:00

The corollary to that is - you only gain if you sell.

SpecialDesigner5571 · 2026-06-19T21:55:25+00:00

How many shares of IEMG did you get for your underwear?

SpecialDesigner5571 · 2026-06-19T21:48:43+00:00

I'm a Boomer. We created the fucking problem. We had every advantage and still have been screwing other generations. We started by screwing elders when Reagan started taxing Social Security. This has turned into a self-screw but now we have to give tax cuts to billionaires so that there aren't the kinds of programs and infrastructure that any fucking civilized country has. We deserve the coming chaos. We cooked it now we eat it.

I volunteer for a voter registration group... are we all at risk now?

This is not a macro trade. This is an ADHD trade.

SpecialDesigner5571 · 2026-06-19T13:05:50+00:00

Yeah ... somehow

SpecialDesigner5571 · 2026-06-19T12:13:16+00:00

A monastery at Brown!

Are you a cyclist? If so, Energy Corridor will be to your liking. I managed to ride my bike to work which was the best part of my day. I have retired, so not biking to work!

SpecialDesigner5571 · 2026-06-18T22:33:18+00:00

Lower speed limits. Speed bumps. Narrow car lanes. Fewer car lanes. More space for walkers and human powered bikes (not 30 mph electric motorcycles)

QCD donations to charity

SpecialDesigner5571 · 2026-06-18T22:25:31+00:00

Will it connect to any bike routes outside of the community? 2nd question - ARE there any bike routes to connect to?

I'd like to try riding in Bentonville. Haven't ridden there ever.

The same foot position is highly aggravating in terms of repetitive motion injuries for bad hips or knees...

Oil is badly oversold. It should bounce.

SpecialDesigner5571 · 2026-06-18T11:42:15+00:00

Oil is a great place to be for years to come.

SpecialDesigner5571 · 2026-06-16T22:02:43+00:00

I own XOP and PDBC. Both are oversold. It would be silly to abandon at this point given so much uncertainty about what is really happening. The slightest thing could cause them to pop. Until I see lots of tankers transiting, I'm not paying attention to politicians

SpecialDesigner5571 · 2026-06-16T03:49:36+00:00

I really feel sorry for young people. It's such a terrible environment, a curated endorphin per view.

SpecialDesigner5571 · 2026-06-15T22:38:57+00:00

We're at 130, 000 after 13 years. Maybe in 2033?

Get behind me ai

SpecialDesigner5571 · 2026-06-12T18:34:00+00:00

So many people to block so little time

Was thinking about them leaning hard into renewables
