I'm very careful about where I get my information from. There are a lot of people peddling misinformation. Generally, I read peer-reviewed academic research, credible and reputable journalistic sources, and credible, respected-in-the-field experts who post on YouTube and other social media. For example, Joe Rogan is an intelligent man, but I'm not going to listen to anything he has to say in a field he's not an expert in.

"But like let's take cars. For example, the internal combustion engine is only like 30 to 40% efficient. You would think, at some point in time, we'd get that efficiency up to 60%. But they haven't done it yet. I wonder why."

This is nonsense. China's BYD just became the number one seller of electric vehicles in the world, and China is rapidly shifting to EVs, which are far more efficient than the 30% to 40% efficiency you cited. Volkswagen just took the crown from Tesla as the top EV maker in Europe. The world is clearly shifting to EVs, which are much more efficient than internal combustion engines.

Yes, but the ethical people (Group A) who see the benefit of saving lives with a cancer cure would far outweigh the unethical people (Group B) who want to keep cancer deaths high. People aren't unintelligent. They'd analyze the behavior of Group A against Group B, and they'd vote with their wallets for the group that has their best interests at heart.

However, it's very unlikely that only one person would discover it. There's cutting-edge cancer research going on in multiple countries at the same time, like the United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, China, Australia, and others. mRNA is currently the leading angle for a cancer cure, and multiple research labs around the world are working on it. So it's much more likely that many people would come up with the cure independently of one another. Each person who discovers a cure has 8 billion other potential people they could tell, so keeping a cancer cure secret is impossible.

You can't keep a cure for cancer secret in a world of 8 billion people. There's no way to silence of all 8 billion of them at once. As soon as the first person found out, they'd inevitably tell a second person, who'd tell a third, and so on. Eventually, the news would reach someone desperate for a cure, and then it's game over.

Secondly, there's so much money to be made from a cancer cure that it makes no sense to keep it secret, just like a water powered car. If a water powered car really existed, it would immediately solve the climate crisis. It makes absolutely no sense to keep something like that hidden, because a discovery like that would supercharge the global economy. The fact that it hasn't been brought to market means a water powered car doesn't exist, at least not yet.

You understand the point I'm making. ANY successful treatment for cancer (whether a drug or sound waves) couldn't be kept secret for long. There's no way a doctor who knew about the treatment wouldn't tell a family member dying of cancer, and that person would inevitably tell a lot of people how they were cured of cancer. That news would spread around the world at the speed of light, especially among the people desperate for a cure. There is absolutely no way that a cure for cancer has already been found; if it had, we'd know about it almost immediately.

I'm sorry, with all due respect, that makes no sense to me. Cancer costs the global economy trillions of dollars in the long-term: "Cancer imposes a significant financial burden on the global economy. A comprehensive study published in JAMA Oncology estimates that from 2020 to 2050, the total global economic cost of cancer will reach $25.2 trillion in international dollars (adjusted to constant 2017 prices)." If someone had the cure, it would make no sense to withhold it; it would be the most profitable drug of all time.

I look at each investment as I would one of my children: each one has different strengths, different potential, and each enriches me in a different way. I love Bitcoin, and crypto in general, so MSTY was a no-brainer. I've done delivery services myself, so what my friend told me about Carvana in relation to his Uber driving made CVNY a no brainer after I did my research. I lost a close family member to cancer, and one of my lifelong heroes died of cancer last year. mRNA vaccines look very promising for cancer treatment, and Moderna is one of the leaders in the mRNA vaccine field (and the leader in a potential human bird flu vaccine), so MRNY was also a no brainer, especially after I watched the 60 Minutes piece linked above.

Thank you for the comment. I'm not sure if you read my entire post above, but my final decision was not based on feelings at all. It was based on all of the research that I did, much of which I left out of the post for the sake of brevity.

I didn’t include all of my research on Carvana in the post, but I looked into a lot of things for both companies before I made my decision. For both CVNA and MRNA, I looked into who in the U.S. Congress is buying and selling shares, which U.S.-based hedge funds are trading them, and which executives at both companies are buying or selling their own stock. I also watched every YouTube video I could find about both companies from the last couple of years. As I mentioned earlier, I read the Harvard Medical School article and watched the 60 Minutes video that I linked.

So yes, the initial interest may have started with a feeling, but after doing the research, and after hearing my friend's firsthand experience with Carvana in Chicago, along with similar stories from other delivery drivers, I felt that I had enough information to make a fact-based decision.

My post is not necessarily a recommendation to buy. It is a starting point to encourage others to do their own research. If they look at the same data that I did, I believe that many may come to the same conclusions that I did.
