  • I know too many people whose dogs and cats died from getting run over.

    Also, I was bit in the face by an off leash dog as a child, went to the hospital, they had to stitch my lips back together.

    A “well trained dog” is very subjective and requires a well disciplined person, and a “well trained dog” can still get confused, scared, or angry.

    It’s like saying seatbelts are absurd because a good driver doesn’t crash.




  • This is a bad outlook, there are plenty of low risk investment strategies that are meant as income generation, and it’s generally what you should switch to as you start needing to cash in on your savings, these are things like laddered tbills and dividend stocks.

    You can go slightly riskier doing things like wheeling options if your tolerance is higher.

    Investment profiles differ for a reason and the term of the investment is just part of the strategy.

    I should add that ‘buy and hold’ does not make something not a gamble.

    If I told you I bought a random crypto currency or penny stock with no future or fundamentals and plan to hold on to it for 10 years because I just know it’s gonna hit big, would you not consider that a gamble?













  • So the scenario is A) you have transitions that work 90% of the time and a pair of prescription sunglasses for the times they don’t Or B) you have regular glasses, and still have prescription sunglasses.

    Option a means 90% of the time you don’t need to carry an additional pair of glasses with you.

    I used transition lenses for a decade, they are great.
