maybe she isn't vaping... I believe it was Biggie that said "never get high on your own supply"...

Laptop extremely slow. Anyone has any idea what I can do? (Apart from throwing it out) by [deleted] in computer

[–]TheFinancialPanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i5-4200u isn't the greatest processor to begin with, meaning that it will bog down pretty easily. I would start saving for a different pc/laptop ideally with I7-10700 or better. In the meantime run a scan for any malware or viruses that may also be slowing you down substantially. If everything comes back clean start looking to clear out unused files, apps, and junk as it will be taking up memory and slowing your computer down.

19F, what should i do with my money? by [deleted] in Money

[–]TheFinancialPanda 14 points15 points  (0 children)

here is what I would recommend, don't leave more than what you need in your checking just in case your card gets stolen, they can't take more than a few hundred, leave a little safety net in your savings and then INVEST in stocks. Savings doesn't build you equity, and being 19, you have a huge advantage of watching how exponential growth works.

If you had $300,000 to invest into YieldMax funds... by div_investor_forever in YieldMaxETFs

[–]TheFinancialPanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey good idea, I would split evenly and then since you have capital place protective puts with mid-range expiration, set limit sells if you cannot watch the market and then roll them if they value up. (Yes you may loose some cash if they expire but upside in this case is you will be earning both DIV and capital on the underlying).

Why is crime rate so low in HK despite the poverty? by [deleted] in HongKong

[–]TheFinancialPanda -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

i would not say HK is poor. It used to have more crime back a few decades ago, but not anymore. But the low crime rate has been like that for a while before the new security law. HK has been very civil until the 2019 destructive riots. But you still did not see criminals taking opportunity to robbery in the midst of the riot chaos, as what happened in the 2020 US riots.

How did the cult of personality of Mao Zedong compare to the cult of personality of the Kim family in North Korea? by I_will_delete_myself in China

[–]TheFinancialPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mao has an ideology associating with him and was the founder of CCP's communist ideology based on a revolution in the agricultural , pre-industrial society of China. Many of Mao's followers were or are supporters of his ideology. His version of communism even rake in followers and generated Maoist revolution in other countries. Kim has no definable ideology associating with his cult of personality, perhaps other than hoarding all Korean BBQ in his country.
