@wartranslated Remember the Russian add campaigns from a couple of years ago showing Europe freezing and having to pull cars with horses due to lack of gasoline? Karma is a bitch, this winter will be brutal for Russian population if Ukraine can sustain these drone strikes.
@Cassiel_Solos@DerrickEvans4WV As part of the fair lending requirements you were provided a complete 30 year month by month payment breakdown showing the front loaded interest payments. Did you not read it?
@HoratioHorokqw@brivael I bought IPO shares that I will never sell. Growing up as avid SF fan and now being able to be a small owner of the company making space exploration possible is priceless. The shares will go to my kids as I did not buy to trade them.
@thepowerfulHRV I am buying more at this price. I am okay holding more shares than in my allocation plan for the short term. I want to evaluate price right before/after next dividend date. I also want to see impact on price recovery when fund moved to bi-monthly payments.
@JeebsTX Money they could afford to loose. The average worker with a family can't afford to take those kind of risk. For most people they are better investing in an index ETF.
@WarMonitor3 There is no guarantee that China will actually live up th the no weapons statement. If they do then Russia is Iran's only source for new weapons and they need everything to use fighting Ukraine
The US during the Obama administration agreed that China would surpass the US as the dominant world power. They focused on managing the US decline. Trump changed the narrative in 2016 to competition with China for dominance. In his 2nd term the tariffs, AI race and dominance on global oil supply is clearly focused on competition with China. China may still eventually win but US is not surrendering without a fight.
@WarMonitor3 When you delay solving problems because they are difficult and hope they get better it rarely does. Regardless of Trump as an imperfect messager, the world should join together to end Iran's nuclear threat now. Short term economic pain vs years of nuclear blackmail.
@gay_lumberjack Unfortunately it is more important who is counting the votes vs who is voting. Spencer has to win overwhelmingly to offset to vote by mail fraud. I hope it happens but Democrat's big city election machine is hard to overcome.
The US doesn't need Canadian oil but it wants a large supply of Canadian oil to be refined in US factories for export. The global combined impact of Ukraine war, Iran war, Venezuela coup and Trump tariffs have drastically changed global energy markets. The US now has increased demand for exports of world's most valuable resource ENERGY.
@marc02200 I park my options trading cash in STRC it actually helps me be more selective on choosing options plays since money is earning 11.5% while i wait for a higher return option play.
