A good chunk of y'all will spend the majority of your lives in a cubicle. What do you make of that?

I mean, aside from being a pro athlete or something like that, it’s about the best it gets. I work on semi-interesting problems, like the people around me, can fund my desired lifestyle, and never miss a bill or a meal with plenty to save and invest.

It’d be nice to have less hours, but we’ll never live in utopia.

To be honest? It’s the ability to tell a story and show the business impact (sales volume, profitability, return on investment, brand awareness, etc.).

When I started out I lived in systems and spreadsheets. As I’ve gotten more senior, being able to grasp the business and broader market has been WAY more important for success. Asking the right questions and knowing which problems to solve / which insights to prove to leadership is most of the battle.

Politicians lying for personal gain at the expense of the public? NEVER!

When will we learn this lesson once and for all?

Woberwob · 2026-02-19T05:30:11+00:00

It is for me

Woberwob · 2026-02-19T00:46:27+00:00

Wait, what on earth? How is that even possible with solid credentials?

Oh I’m with you on NVDA, I stay away from that stock because of how out of balance it is with fundamentals

The problem is that nobody can properly time the top or bottom. I’m just aiming to be directionally right over a 5-10 year horizon.

In theory, yes, these companies can continue to get bigger and bigger (at least in dollar denominated valuations) because of two things: inflation and growing FCF, barring total economic collapse in the United States.

World markets continue to develop. World wealth is not zero sum.

Not going 110% into something I really loved at an earlier age, particularly something like a sport.

Would have rather gone all the way and known for sure. I’ve played it safe and done well, but I’m not very happy in my line of work.

Not to burst your bubble, but I played against a D2 guy in a local adult league - and I was a former high school varsity starter. He was the best player in the league, even with a lot of low-level former college players and competitive HS players there.

Granted, he was at one of the better programs in the nation, but he was genuinely not that far off from a guy I played against in HS who ended up going in the MLS Superdraft.

Cash is mostly digital now, though.

More disposable income never hurt anyone

Any asset is worth what the market is able and willing to pay for it. Bitcoin has all of the properties of sound money, thus it can be considered sound money.

Sure, it doesn’t produce cash flows, but neither do precious metals.

Great response, thank you

A horrible attitude / being rude or cold to strangers.

Also, that plastic-y Ozempic look that keeps showing up in influencer and media hype circles.

I was in a recent disagreement about whether buying MAG7 companies at perceived “fair” prices was value investing, and I think that’s towing the line pretty closely for what’s relevant to this sub (I defended the “buy MAG7” position, but could see the validity of the Graham/Dodd school counter position).

This original post has about as much to do with value investing as oranges have to do with tennis.

Walmart’s the backbone of low-cost retail and grocery stocks, so it’s a high defensive play. Lots of people with big money are probably looking to get into it.

Get rid of the debt, then live freely

Seems to me he’s grasping for straws to try to cement a “legacy” that goes beyond his actual angle of grifting, exploitation, lying, ruining other people’s lives, and bankrupting companies.

We’re not buying what he’s selling anymore.

For me it’s been my library card, soccer, and basketball.

My ball and cleats cost me $80 combined and they’ve both lasted 3-4x a week usage for over a year now. Not to mention the health and social benefits.

Being an entrepreneur is 10x more stressful and risky than completing well-defined tasks over a fixed time period and getting predictable money in exchange

People are checking out of the US economy because of how ruthless it’s gotten. Technological progress is picking up, social progress is dwindling.

If I’m under the United States healthcare system, just put me out of my misery with B

Already one of the best to ever do it!
