- One of you asked yesterday if anyone was worried about the economy. We’re a profession of paid worriers who tend to look for the worst possible outcomes. Is the economy concerning you right now? What is your biggest worry right now?
I still can't get that "puss and piss" reference out of my nose. The alliteration, the 4-3-4 letter symmetry, the second vowel followed by 2 "s's." It truly reminds me of downtown.
It truly is a work of beauty
The "smell of puss and piss' is poetic. It was best post of the week. Four Queens is the puss piss palace.
Biggest worry right now?
Biden strokes out, Harris becomes President.
I see Harris cackling on top of a nuke like that scene in Dr. Strangelove with Slim Pickens.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!
I see that, but Rockhound in Armageddon. "Just wanted to feel the power between my legs. brother."
My egg salad smells better than yours
My biggest worry is having the funds to retire someday.
Unless you truly believe that the entire US economy is going to crumble and never come back, keep buying mutual funds. They're on sale now, so you can buy more with each purchase. Your dollar goes further. And if you really do believe the US economy won't ever come back, buy guns, ammunition, and canned food.
If you do believe that the entire US economy is going to crumble. Buy Guns, Food, silver and Crypto, in that order.
Mutual funds have horrible backend fees you don’t see. Just go with S & P 500 index. Pick vanguard or any normal index fund.
Hmm.. well the indexed funds are a type of mutual fund, and just like all mutual funds may be front loaded or back loaded and have annual service fees. The problem with indexed funds is that you rise and fall in step with the market whereas sector funds may or may not have a better return.
Futures and Crypto are a crap shoot.
I go with the sure-fire retirement strategy of depending on Social Security – Manchin wouldn't let me down – he'd never spend a gazillion dollars and call it anti-inflation – say it ain't so Joe.
"…and Crypto are a crap shoot."
Not so far. I have made way more on Crypto in the last 8 years than as a lawyer. Retiring in 2028 years at 59, after exactly 30 years of practice.
I am 60 with great hips, and a hottie my daughter's age. I sell and I tell. Who's in?
I have a daughters your daughter's age and won't be dating one that young anytime soon. Not interested.
Retiring off crypto in 2028 is like waiting for the Titanic to resume seaworthiness.
@123 here
That is because you don't know how much I have or what I bought in at. Or what I have sold and banked since September, 2013.
Mutual funds tend to have high fees (expense ratios). Buy a selection of ETFs together with a selection of individual blue-chip stocks with reinvested dividends.
Re: Funds to retire.
Since I was 35, I have consistently maxed out my 401(k) and Roth contributions. So has my spouse. It is a big chunk of our income, but if you're willing to sacrifice now, there is no reason you can't have security and comfort tomorrow.
We work too hard and sacrifice too much as attorneys to piss it away living paycheck to paycheck.
Do people stop getting in car wrecks in a bad economy?
No, but they have smaller insurance policies.
Smaller policies. Self insure. Drive less. Dont drive as wild. Dont go to tourist meccas to do their driving.
Way less justice that needs addressed during a bad economy.
And adjusters will not negotiate either. Have an assault case and defense only offered 20k. Ah,fuck no.
@10:46 When people can't afford to do anything, they drive a lot less.
Scott Boras, an attorney, represents Eric Hosmer and Juan Soto. How is this not a massive, non-waivable conflict of interest? I am genuinely asking. Eric Hosmer has to wonder whether Boras has his best interests here.
"Hosmer is owed $39 million over the next three years, which takes him to the age of 35. He happens to be represented by super agent Scott Boras, the same agent of Soto. Boras also reps Josh Bell and two Padres prospects included in the trade."

He may be an attorney, but that doesn't mean he is representing them as their attorney, he could just be their sports agent. I don't think being a sports agent alone makes you any kind of fiduciary or that you have any kind of duties to your client. But I have no idea.
I appreciate your perspective. I believe that you are wrong.
Boras has been manipulating the market forever, just like the teams do on service time. Not really new or news.
