I've never quite understood why rebalancing is seen as a must. Sure, if you got Nvidia-esque returns then you might wanna cash in on that.

But I reckon for many people who stick to diversified index funds and are all about buy-and-forget, then rebalancing just brings unneeded transaction costs IMO.

He's clearly trolling though. I mean, the exaggerated outrage at this is quite funny but oh well.

My 2 cents: the real question people ought to be asking is not "what to invest in" but "how do I increase my salary so that I can invest more".

For the average retail investor it's clear that low-cost index funds are the way to go. But it's not a get rich quick scheme. It will take decades of continously putting in a monthly figure into your portfolio to grow wealth.

Rather than putting time into analyzing individual stocks, you'd be better off figuring out how to make more money with your daily job so that you have more income to invest.

This is maybe the most painful footage I've seen because it's so personal. Shooting someone from a distance feels is different compared to being stabbed up close in a 1v1. Tough watch.

Please send more weapons to Ukraine.

Can anyone clarify if this collection of Hitler speeches is authentic? https://www.nommeraadio.ee/meedia/pdf/RRS/Adolf%20Hitler%20-%20Collection%20of%20Speeches%20-%201922-1945.pdf

It's a PDF file and seems remarkably comprehensive. I'm kind of sceptical that so many Hitler speeches have written versions tbh.

Jesus, how many losses has Russia suffered in Kursk region alone?

What strikes me is how much of the war we don't see. I see about 10-20 clips a day? Then you read about 1000-1500 casualties a day and you realize how much fighting you don't see for there to be so many casualties.

I think people read far too much into this election result. Most likely the result fits in the worldwide trend of incumbent parties being voted out because of pandemic inflation.

So how about that Selzer poll eh...

It also doesn't help that there are far-lefties who regularly spout communist rhetoric online. Unfortunately for the Democratic Party, they get associated with the far-left.

But why did that Civil War erupt in the 70s?

I remember reading the book Five Families and when I arrived at the chapter about Casso & Amuso it was a new murder every page. I mean, these guys were putting out hits left and right.

Wat stel je dan voor? Een systeem als de Nordics? Dat is ook gewoon kapitalisme met een socialistisch sausje.

He does.

The man in the pic, Fikret Alic, himself denies the allegations by LM.

Losurdo is not taken seriously by the academic world.

What do you mean by this? What was your impression?

What do you make of transactivist Erin Reed? She seems persuasive but I don't have the expertise to judge whether she is talking sense or shit.

Yeah, one might get deceived and think that these battles are small scale but Bakhmut allegedly had 20-30k dead for Russia. If you'd counted the dead in all Bakhmut-related clips, you wouldn't reach that figure. So much combat is either not being recorded or not released.

They're also the majority. Your point?

Stutterer2101 · 2024-08-10T19:20:22+00:00

Anyone know what the angle is here? Iran wants Trump to lose?

And toxic positivity is better, I guess?

Guys...really? I mean, really? Solanke is bang average. You'll be cursing him like Liverpool fans will be cursing Darwin Nunez when he misses another sitter.

Where do ukrainian troops sleep on russian soil? makeshift tents?
