  1. Like talking on YouTube….or the jo rogon show

  2. If the stock bounces back, you look like a genius. If the stock continues to tank, you look like a criminal.😂

  3. That last part. Forced to. I think part of FIRE is you can continue doing what you dream of without a boss or some profit motivation.

  4. Even with dollar denominated debt, you can still have a debit crisis if you want. You are thinking the congress and executive branch is rational. We could have an irrational congress and executive branch that just refuse to pay the debt and just go golfing…. you guys deal with it.⛳️🏌️

  5. Seems all FIRE always involve a blog or channel or both.

  7. Why are you buying the stock of a company’s mgmt you don’t trust? That is like the most important factor when buffet buys a company. You’re buying the mgmt as much as the company.

  8. As much “growth” as my reinvested savings account or CD.

  9. And 10yrs from now you gonna say….milkspit…..$31Tril??… you made me get off my chair for $31T??

  10. If you look at AAPL’s numbers, it is just so unfair compared against any other stock.

  11. The company behind that stock hopefully has something of value that can generate value at a rate satisfactory to the investors. That’s why the stock is the price it is. The price of plain bagel shoppe stock is that price because it can reliably sell X many bagels for Y profit with Z amount of potential growth. If you think those XYZ is not attainable or maintainable, you would price the stock lower.

  12.  @Sidious6460  you can turn a tax deferred into a tax free in some situations. 401k as an example. It’s tax free on withdrawals after 50.5 if your withdraw is below your standard deduction. Just need to withdraw strategically.

  13. Obviously it’s when the bagel state is plain & simple.

  14. It’s a conspiracy theory if you believe there a conspiracy theory. ❌🗂

  15. Ummm….bitcoin? NFT?

  16. Now you understand how to make the big bucks in social media

  17. Is share count matters to you, sure

  18. Freaking freak. Why did these people buy 10+ yr bonds? So greedy

  19. That 0% div and holding thru hard times with nothing in the meantime is basically all small growth companies. So requiring divs basically locks yourself out of most AAPL, Goog, Netflix, Amazon when they where young. Goog and nflx still don’t pay a div.

  20. It’s like a bank account you can live in but can’t withdrawal from

  21. I bet much of Vancouver is from Chinese/Hong Kong families selling/moving cash into Canada housing.

  22. You get a div of $500…..the equivalent is sell $500 of stock….not sell 5 shares or 50 shares. If your div is 5%….you’re just selling 5% of the total value of your stock, not 5% of your shares ( unless your total value is $100)

  23. If you can’t sell fractional or you have very small number of shares, then this will be harder to manage. But Richard’s audience is multi millionaires so, not relevant 😂

  24. The US wouldn’t be affected on current debt/bonds. That’s the problem for the debt holder….suckers!!!😂😂 But it would affect future US borrowing…😢 Btw, US also a holder of current US debt.

  25. That’s a good question that wasn’t addressed. The world needs bonds like US treasuries. If US has no debt, all that money still has to buy something. It could go to japan’s debts or Swiss like it did last time driving up Swiss francs or….corp debt🤷‍♀️

  26. That’s how I bonds work

  27. You can always say they are a puppet master because they push ESG or XYZ initiatives. As well as if they don’t push ESG or XYZ initiatives….thus blocking your interested agenda. What they really need is pass through voting (continue to expand that) or make new ESG XYZ designated funds….because that’s what people want. Then everyone can be their own puppet master🎉

  28. A company can be sold before it ever pays a dividend. And the share of profit from the sale is the shareholder’s.

  29. Question is why are people investing in badly run companies regardless of divs
    1
  30. Depends on who is president and the treasury secretary

  31. Wait for that Carl Icahn mention😂

  32. A lot less mortgages doled out. Basically economy grinds to a halt. Please, please don’t be like India.

  33. Thus you also won’t have rocketing companies because mgmt is forced to be conservative. Perhaps too conservative. Against highly flexible competitors that has boat loads of cash and doesn’t need to borrow during high interest times or pandemic shutdowns Why bind yourself for no reason? Unless you don’t trust the mgmt…..which then why are you investing with that company in the first place?

  34. He likes owning div stocks but his Berkshire didn’t pay a div for a very long time. That’s how you get to $500,000 a share of brk.

  35. Not sure goog is a good example here…..Internet balloons, googles no one bought….lots of secret moon shot project by the founders spending any amount of cash they want. No one’s gonna say no to Sergey or Larry.

  36. Sell some shares

  37. It’s mostly how buffet explains it.

  38. In that case, might as well buy an annuity
