A mother moose had crossed the highway, but one of her newborn twin calves couldn't make it over the median barrier. As traffic began to back up and people grew anxious to move on, a driver stepped in to help. He lifted the calf over the median and carried it to where its mother was waiting, safely reuniting them πβ¨

Itβs no secret to people who have 4-5M millions and paid off home and a car. (Thereβs been a lot of inflation since this was written 4 years ago)

Not surprising.

I am an X'er (the coolest generation).. That said, I am shocked at replies I saw today from younger people and the disgust and hatred they have toward older Americans. The class envy and entitlement is bad. The kids are not alright and that's really sad

Iβm in favor.

A new survey found that 75% of Americans believe restaurants should offer some form of adults-only dining experience, including child-free sections, late-night restrictions for kids, and quieter environments focused more on the dining experience than family-friendly chaos.

Years ago when Obama was running for his first term, my neighbors kept talking about how great Obama was. I never said a word to them about being conservative because back then I was more centrist.
At the time I was a 1099 consultant so I paid for my own health insurance. It was about $650 for a family of three and we had a fairly low deductible.
After Obama won and the ACA passed, I lost my health insurance and was told by BCBS that I had to go through the government website to apply.
My insurance went from an affordable $650 a month to $2400 a month with a $10k deductible per family member.
When I said this to my neighbor, they called me a liar. I asked them where they got their news and they said they watched Jon Stewart. I laughed so hard and they never spoke to me again. Iβm glad they finally moved.
I just wanted to say this: these are the people we are arguing with online. Completely uninformed buffoons. If you get your information from a late night comedian talk show host, we are not on the same level. Good riddance, Colbert.

Once your grandma passes away, you'l realize she was the one holding your whole family together
After that, youβre left with just your parents and siblings while cousins, aunts, and uncles slowly become just people you know

Not the most robust bull market, ever.

So, again, this is just shouting into a void.
But this is the most new lows within the S&P 500 $SPY on a day the index poked above a prior all-time closing high.
Ever.
Like EVER, ever.

Nationally, around 40% of owner-occupied homes are mortgage-free.
In some rural pockets of the country, that mortgage-free share exceeds 50%. In some places, itβs even above 60%.

If you think the Feds next move is a hike, you would be better served walking your fat ass into on coming traffic.

Iβm anything but a fan of permabear porn, but this is the concern I have with equities right now, too. The βK Shapedβ economy will eventually hit a wall. But when? I donβt know, so I press on with my chosen asset allocation.
Last time stocks were at all-time highs with Home Depot $HD in a 26% drawdown?

Two to think about
1.) S&P 500 new high in April? Full year up 18 out of 19 times and up 18.8% on avg.
2.) S&P 500 7-day win streak? Full year higher 19 out of 20 times and up (once again) 18.8% on avg.
