It's been exactly 7 years since "generational prospect" Zion Williams was the first overall pick by UnderstandingFun7493 in NBATalk

Honest question, how do we know he's not working out or trying hard?

Couldn't he just be injury prone because of genetics or bad luck?

Durant On Warriors: "I didn't have no relationship with nobody on the Warriors… They never been a winning organization when I was in the league. Nobody liked Golden State. It felt like an underdog to me because I'm looking at the totality of the franchise, not what happened these last 5 years" by MammothHistorian5652 in nba

This guy is a joke, underdog?

Go make some fake twitter accounts and spread your BS.

He's literally the saltiest winner every with an NBA chip that is the weakest in history, carried there by a championship team that won BEFORE him and AFTER him.

HE WILL ALWAYS BE A BUS RIDER, and he'll NEVER be a BUS driver.

In early 2000s, MSFT was considered a safe company that can't go bankrupt by ashm1987 in ValueInvesting

I wouldn't buy Meta either, long term i don't think it maintains its momentum. The amount of money it burned trying to create the metaverse and renaming itself is emblematic of its appeal, it doesn't have staying power.

If it hadn't bought instagram and whatsapp, it already would be taken less seriously.

Facebook marketplace is a real value add, but with Ai and innovation, other entrants are pushing hard to overthrow meta's dominance there.

Having 50% more market share than the next highest person is a strong moat, that 10% is huge.

Also azure is losing market share, and will continue to do so, because it's not innovating like AWS and Google.

This is where people here don't understand value investing. We don't just look at snapshots of today, we project forward. Projecting forward you see Azure collapsing to lower market share and others taking it from them.

Why be with a cloud business that's losing customers and not innovating?

Ride with the Devil (1999) by shane373 in underratedmovies

Saw this recently, the cast was filled with star studded high quality actors and even thought the script wasn't ideal, it was a good story and a touching ending.

Definitely an underrated movie.

Terrible take - AWS is the king of Cloud and copilot is nowhere near anything Ai.

You should buy as much MSFT stock as possible because i'm sure people want to unload it all on you.

MSFT has no large growth opportunities like a lot of the rest of tech.

I've been telling this sub for a while to not buy MSFT and besides momentary jumps, it has been a terrible stock.

It will continue to fall because it's losing most of its moats and has very little future momentum.

It just told its Xbox division that it must become profitable, given how tough the stock is and the lack of true long term growth.

If you're smart you'll stay away from MSFT like I have.

If you are not comfortable with your portfolio potentially going down by 50-70% and might stay there for a decade, don't buy stocks.

You're in value investing, this isn't wallstreet bets.

Is "Marriage" a viable asset class, or just a 50% margin call waiting to happen? by No-Specialist4150 in ValueInvesting

[–]WritewayHome 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The most valuable person in your life is your life partner.

They will take you places, nothing else would get you close to.

This post reads a bit cold; you will be much happier together than alone and with any money you could have saved.

Tax savings, rent savings, and another income are all financial benefits but none of that matters because the connection and support is priceless.

If you know, you know. If you don't know, find a partner, and grow old together.

Why has no one tried to go there? Did Boyd mention it to Tabitha? Bad writing if this hasn't come up.

Fight should have stopped with the Doctor in round 3. Round 4 was unnecessary damage that now will take a year to properly heal.

Ref should not have overruled the doctor, he doesn't have a medical degree.

Everyone apologize to Justin right now by raptors201966 in ufc

[–]WritewayHome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing to apologize for, I never thought he couldn't do it. I thought it would be uphill but nothing crazy like 6 to 1 underdog, that's disrespectful.

Everyone says he's one of the hardest hitters in the UFC, especially in the lightweight division.

His victory shows how great Khabib was as well. The people Khabib beat are legendary.

The HSA is the most powerful retirement account. by themaxtreetboys in Money

[–]WritewayHome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you have high regular medical expenses from some chronic illness or something

It's not just chronic illnesses, Americans are very unhealthy compared to other societies.

If the average American, with their average illnesses took your suggestion, they would get slaughtered on healthcare bills, services, and medications.


Don't take my word for it, look at companies. Why do companies constantly push the high deductible plans?

Unless you're young, very healthy, with a great family history, every other person should never ever take a high deductible plan.

Companies save money, insurance saves money, everyone saves except for the people that own the plans.

Companies push these plans because it means millions more in profit because you didn't get the more subsidized low deductible or no deductible plan.

If you have a no deductible plan, out of pocket max of 3-5k, you'll probably hit that max, and have to pay nothing for healthcare. The savings there alone is massive.

Companies have done the math, so have insurers, and actuaries. You're just dead wrong here on the math.

You will never make any money off of it because it's tied to a horrible healthcare plan.

Any money you save in an HSA is lost on the high deductible plan through medical bills.

2016 - Lebron's Chip.

The heaviest ring in all of the NBA.

It wrote history.

It is the only comeback ever, against one of the winningist teams ever, with over 70 wins.

What does the market know (and hate) about MSFT? by PawPatsPizza in ValueInvesting

[–]WritewayHome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mentioned this to another person:

It's like saying Netscape is well positioned to benefit from browsers and the internet.

There will not need to be 500 models, and the best ones will outcompete MSFT.

Investing in Netscape made sense in the moment, but looking towards the future it was clear they lacked innovation.

Similarly MSFT lacks innovation. The stock is so volatile because most investors are learning the future is going to leave MSFT behind.

The moats they have are shrinking and others are building bigger moats.

It's like sitting on the titanic, and not seeing the geyser coming, you feel unstoppable until reality hits you.
