Re: Netflix junkie

I'm currently rewatching Titanic on Netflix. Yes it's because of the recent news. Too soon? ??? I did see it at the movies. An okay movie but certainly not near being one of the greatest of all time and one which I have never watched again. I think that because it's a love story it probably appeals...

Re: Gold ETF Placement

I personally keep the same asset allocation in every type of account. This is a "satisficing" type of solution that guarantees solid results even if they are technically less than optimal.

So I guess my answer would be that I have gold in every type of account I have.

Me too. I was so excited to read it when it first came out I paid full price!

Re: Elizabeth Holmes

Just ordered that Jobs book! Had been prior unaware of it. I thought it was a really great book. It focuses more on business success, as the title implies. It's a different style and tone from the Walter Isaacson biography. That's usually the one everyone reads, which is a shame because there's ple...

The one thing that might give me pause on the whole idea of a pregnancy ploy is the fact that she knows she's in her late thirties and was very likely to be put away for many years.

I just finished watching Mad Max for the first time ever. I honestly don’t get the hype. The movie was very meh to me. I also now especially don’t get why Bogleheads always refer to the “Mad Max scenario” when discussing gold as an investment. Does anyone really think that this corresponds with real...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

At no age would I have even gone in it. In 1981 I went to some museum in Chicago and they had a captured German submarine on its front lawn, which you could walk through which I did. This was a beautiful summer day, as stated it was just sitting on the ground, yet in the few minutes I spent walking...

While we are on the topic is surprises me that we don't have more members of this forum that are gamers, given that it seems like we are mostly male. Is it a generational thing?

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

My attention has really been captured by that missing submersible exploring the Titanic the past couple days. Apparently they found the debris and that a hull implosion was likely what happened. These craft were experimental and it seems that cyclical fatigue finally made the submersible bite the du...
