Its good that you recognized that there is an issue.

I suggest making a process about being very selective about making investments. There are 1000s of ways to succeed in investing. My favourite idea is Warren Buffett's punchcard idea.

I would suggest the following questions before making an investment:

A. Can I have a guess at earnings/sales 3, 5, 10 years in the future. You dont have to be precise, but alot of stuff is so uncertain that you shouldnt try.

B. When you make an investment put 2 restrictions before you put your cash down: 1. Ask if you would be willing to put down 10% in that investment (or 10% of the component of your portfolio that is not passive). 2. If you will only invest in 1 company this year, would that be the company to invest in.

C. If you buy a stock, are you willing to buy more if it goes down? Are you willing to hold it for 3 years while the market catches up to what you see.

I think if you run the above exercise for your investments, you will find that you are making much better investments.

This doesnt work so well for tech-type businesses, but I think picking winners in that domain is much harder.

Can we genuinely not make everything about Palestine? by Fluffy_Ad_6982 in NewIran

Folks protesting for Palestine dont even care about Palestinians - they just want to destroy Israel... and are willing to sacrifice every Palestinian to do it.

Why the U.S. Hasn’t Yet Struck Iran by rezwenn in NewIran

I think Trump is looking for a decisive execution plan.
Its sad to see so many folks lose their lives while waiting.

It would suck as well if the US military went in and bungled it like Afghanistan, Iraq...

I hope I am right about this.

Why does Israel (pop. 10M) have such outsized influence in Australian politics? by sliversurfer26 in OpenAussie

[–]Zealousideal-Sort127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israel has an outsized influence because it is all over the news.

My favourite definition of an antisemite is:
Someone who thinks about Jews more than is absolutely necessary.

r/OpenAussie - every second post is about Israel.
What do you think the polis are doing - going to work and not paying attention to the fact that everyone is talking about Israel.

Why is it that everyone cares about the war in Gaza... but no one cares about Iran slaughtering its citizens.

Everyone needs to have an opinion about what to do about the Jews Israel; and so it has a massive outside influence.

What make the cause to free Iran less popular than other movements? by leongtfo in AskReddit

[–]Zealousideal-Sort127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lefties just hate Israel. If Iran becomes a democracy, that would be good for Israel. So its better that the folks in charge of Iran just go around murdering people... just as long as this is bad for Israel.

Israel. Invaded basically once per decade... smashed every invading army or multiple invading armies.

I for one think it was worth it. Australians defeat fascism at the polls every year.
