@Ferbin08 @TKopelman And a 1% higher return is harder than it sounds.

Much more likely a DIYer misses a tax advantage.

Meanwhile, my nephew would like me to give you his address.

I tried to give my son $2 today.

He asked why did I give him the money.

I told him just because.

He gave it back then said, “ I don’t need it. I need to make my own money.”

I asked him why?

He said so he can take care of others.

He’s 8. And he’s my reason why.

@MarkMcGrathCFP He forgot to tell me where I can buy his products.

[James Shanks @Finunciate]

@JonLuskin So 6 more rebalances and I 10x my money? Deal.

[James Shanks @Finunciate]

@FiSurgi I thought $500 was the cover.

@Stoy_Hall 👆 Reminder that there is no rule that says rates have to go down.

@TKopelman I think to your final point.

What % of self-employed owners of businesses are millionaires?

As you said...not for everyone.

[James Shanks @Finunciate]

@dougboneparth Hack: Start with #6 and the other 5 are much easier.

OK. I know why this is on the box.

But why is this on the box?

You know what's awesome? When @hulu raises their prices and won't let you use the service they're raising the price on. (Can't get past this screen no matter what I do.) #canceling

Goodbye, dad.

I guess ESPN couldn't stand to watch Auburn beat Kentucky, so no one else can either.

[James Shanks @Finunciate]

@behaviorgap It comes packaged in a brightly colored box.

[James Shanks @Finunciate]

@lady__bost Hang in there, Jess.

Hope things can get up and running sooner than expected.

Preparing to use the hotel iron. Thoughts and prayers appreciated.

@honest_math @NateSilver538 I think I'm following you now.

To get to his final 64/36 breakdown, I think we would need the probability of a Trump PV win and EC loss.

[James Shanks @Finunciate]

@honest_math @NateSilver538 I read it as 20% of all outcomes, including those in which Trump wins pop vote.

So, Harris wins pop 56% of the time. Of those, she loses EC 35.71% of the time.

56% x 35.71% = 20% of all outcomes.
