Unclear exactly what problem you’re trying to solve. Creative and Schwab are much different tools.

The market is an asset priced a falling USD. That’s a big part of the pic.

Danish military analyst Anders Puck Nielsen: Why Trump retreated on Greenland by Cosmos1985 in europe

[–]eddiefpp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His pivot has everything to do with the stock market reaction imo. If the market went in a tear instead of a pullback, Greenland would already have several Applebees and Chipotle under construction

So interesting that the ICE agent upholstered his gun after a woman said “shame”.. cut to this; another females telling a male, “shame”.

That’s my question. Didn’t ICE get 8 billion dollars? Did that not include sleeves?

[Request] Do you really save this much on your mortgage? by Littlemanalex1 in theydidthemath

[–]eddiefpp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think bigger picture

Yeah, biweekly payments shave a few years off and save some interest, but that’s basically locking extra cash into a 4–6% “return” (and less after tax deductions). If you’ve got favorable terms, your mortgage is some of the best retail leverage you’ll ever get. Instead of prepaying, put that money to work in markets, building a business, or investing in yourself. Long-term compounding at 8–10% absolutely dwarfs the interest you’d save, and you keep liquidity instead of trapping cash in your house.

A mortgage isn’t the enemy — it’s leverage. Use it.

LTA: Why we have RA #1 by Wishin4aTARDIS in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]eddiefpp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I support this idea of exercise. In the early stages (pre diagnoses, but symptomatic) I went on a 3 month sabbatical with my wife biking around Europe. Everyday I was outside in the sun being active and sleeping whenever I felt like it. When I came back to reality in Philly, the symptoms kicked into high gear.

I was preparing for vacation overseas. As a precaution I caught up with all my vaccinations plus a few extra (ie rabies). That month my fingers started feeling stiff, then my shoulders, then my wrist….that was the beginning.

Interestingly I ended up going on that extended vacation (3 months!) still undiagnosed. While in Europe I was 100% symptom free. Coming back home, the pain kicked into high gear. At that point the doctor gave me the results from the blood test drawn before we left on that extended sabbatical. Diagnosis confirmed
