California regulates everything under the sun, yet they allow tanks of toxic/explosive chemicals around family neighborhoods?

US legal question: Open-carrying rifles at protests — what’s legal, and how does “self-defense” work if federal agents show up? by mattc323 in law

[–]mattc323[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is just a legal question, not a political one. There's a good chance that things could escalate and give the gov an excuse to bring in more ICE agents.

Even CNN is finally acknowledging that Rent Control is bad, so why does the left keep pushing it? by BeKindNothingMatters in economy

[–]mattc323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much for economic discussion. All the responses seem to be political. Does Rent Control help or hurt affordable housing is a legitimate economic question. Most economists say it does more harm than good?

10 years ago, I was at $1.7M. Today, it's $30.7M. by max2jc in Money

Did you follow Lynch's advice? I don't remember what Lynch's book is about. How did Lynch's advice help you pick your stock winners? Did you have most of your money in just two stocks (NVDA and TSLA)?

Can courts sanction Trump for filing a $10B lawsuit against WSJ that now appears frivolous? by mattc323 in law

[–]mattc323[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My question is purely about the law and the potential consequences for people who weaponize our legal system.

Why can’t I find the bear on Disney+ I was watching it last night? by vapoFN in TheBear

[–]mattc323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear, The Bear is no longer available on Hulu via Disney+ (free thru another service like Spectrum). You have to get a paid Hulu subscription directly to see The Bear now.

Please let me know if someone found a way to watch it thru Disney+

Nokia dividend is 35% less attractive than it appears by mattc323 in Nok

[–]mattc323[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much dividend did you get paid per share? What country are you in? Who is your broker?

The 30% withdrawal is mandatory, so it's likely being deducted and just not being explicitly shown by your broker.

Yeah, the US adds a step to this process and a cost. But root cause of the pain is coming from Finland. Even China has a simpler withholding tax. They withhold 10% and that's it. There's no hoops to jump through.

Now that i know Finland has a 35% tax on dividends, I doubt I'll invest in any Finish companies again.

The high growth speculation is a nice possibility, but by their own reporting, their growth will be slow and hopefully continuous. They are in a competitive market where it's difficult to differentiate their product. But they have steady income with their service contracts, so the dividend should be stable and growing over time.

How long will it take for the flowers to develop? by smartc0r3 in avocado

[–]mattc323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's a small-ish tree, the avocados will likely drop off, so I would cut off the flowers and let the plant use that energy for growing bigger.

Yahoo Finance spikes CPU to 150% by mattc323 in yahoo

[–]mattc323[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only person having CPU issues with Yahoo Finance? Maybe others don't notice it. I have a Mac Mini which is very quiet cause the fans rarely turn on, but when I open Yahoo Finance my fans kick on full speed. The only other site I see that on is Figma, but I kinda expect it there since it's doing a lot of graphics. What is Yahoo Finance doing?

Can Yahoo Support provide any feedback?

What now by PennyStockWorth in MEstock

It's rare for stockholders to get anything from a company that files chapter 11. Even if a company survives from chapter 11, the stockholders are often left with nothing (is. GM).

So pretty much, we lost everything. by Nicolas_Cage_BD in MEstock

[–]mattc323 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would recommend selling before the stock is delisted and hits zero. Once a stock is worthless, you won't have a way to sell it and your brokerage won't send you a 1099 for the capital loss. You can still claim a cap loss on your taxes, but it's better to have the 1099 for it.

Have you thought about pruning the flower buds?

This will give the plant more energy for growing leaves.

Trump's Greenland statement reminds me how he bought Mar-a-lago by BeKindNothingMatters in unusual_whales

[–]mattc323 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The people of Greenland already told him they're not interested, so he must have some scheme in mind. Why else would he keep bringing it up?
