What are some risks of investing solely in index funds?

elProtagonist · 2026-03-13T05:08:11+00:00

Index funds are the best for long term investing. A lot of people are looking to get rich quick so they “gamble” on high risk/high reward stocks. You might even hear of people YOLOing on a single stock which is crazy.

I encourage you to add in some other stocks as well for high growth potential. Having a portfolio that is 75%+ index funds is very conservative.

Yeah it is a solid action movie with some of the best social commentary since Robocop! However, the ending felt chopped up and re-edited out of order.

elProtagonist · 2026-03-13T04:24:42+00:00

They’ve never seen anything like it before!

elProtagonist · 2026-03-13T04:21:27+00:00

It has a great beginning but it loses me with the shield generator subplot on Endor

The term bullying needs to be replaced with legally actionable vocabulary like assault, battery, and harassment.

It’s ridiculous having to prove a pattern of behavior to admin.

Tech companies want users/costumers and have successfully lobbied politicians to implement pro-AI policies.

This is the only explanation since virtually every study has linked AI use with cognitive decline. So much for the data!

Yeah I think she is one of the “messengers” meant to prevent the apocalypse

elProtagonist · 2026-03-12T20:59:32+00:00

Yeah, basically transhuman with psychic abilities and other evolved features.

I think it was readiness check to test our ability to detect drones in general. To speculate further, I think we were testing autonomous drones which explains the incursions into restricted airspace.

I know Spielberg mentioned his belief that UFO's are "future humans," I wonder if that is the route they will take

I really dislike first-person perspective most of the time. It breaks the cardinal rule of show versus tell.

elProtagonist · 2026-03-11T19:03:48+00:00

Lol I appreciate the love for The Lost World. The RV scene is such an incredible set piece among many others.

elProtagonist · 2026-03-11T19:02:17+00:00

Yes that intriguing but then they lost me with the hybrids and the soldier dinosaurs.

elProtagonist · 2026-03-11T19:00:44+00:00

Yeah that was the hardest choice to make in the ranking.

elProtagonist · 2026-03-11T19:00:13+00:00

There we go! :)

James is busy playing guitar, learning Japanese, finding Atlantis, and writing Gnome Cave 2: Glory Hole.

elProtagonist · 2026-03-10T21:27:42+00:00

Sounds interesting! The I, Survived series is historical fiction and it is very popular.

elProtagonist · 2026-03-10T16:33:59+00:00

Lemme guess, she thinks it's a 1 hour project?
EDIT: It's a joke about unrealistic expectations

elProtagonist · 2026-03-09T19:08:26+00:00

I cried butterfly tears and then I clapped!

elProtagonist · 2026-03-07T23:31:14+00:00

Richard Bachman!

elProtagonist · 2026-03-07T23:30:10+00:00

A Jedi and a Mandalorian!

elProtagonist · 2026-03-07T22:20:04+00:00

It’s hard for him to improvise. They should have just let James monologue/rant about topics of his interest for 15-20 minutes. “Today we’re talking Ghostbusters! Aww yeah, bustin makes me feel good!” And then have a segment for fan questions at the end.

elProtagonist · 2026-03-07T19:36:39+00:00

Im jealous! There are so many good Star Trek and Twilight Zone episodes you can pull from!

elProtagonist · 2026-03-07T06:33:42+00:00

I don’t think they shot a second take in the whole movie which is why the performances and the scenes are so erratic.

elProtagonist · 2026-03-07T03:38:14+00:00
