A single stock no (usually 1 in 3 perform disappointingly) but a collection of stocks sure. They are all companies you never heard of and has worked out just fine for me. Usually opportunities come from time to time. For example us met coal

Anyone holding NVDA or any tech stock for more than 10 years would have had massively beat the market. I assume by speculators short term holders and traders. Sure these people wont have alpha over entities that take it seriously. Anyway I

The bid ask spread is not even 10 basispoints for your regular stocks out there. In fact for NVDA right now it's less than 1 basispoint. Anyhow the comparison doesnt make a whole lot of sense

So it is still a state enterprise in all but in name. The swiss federal railyway has the exact same model (a company fully owned by the federal government) and it works very well. Blaming the ownership model for the DB's woes is just w

GNOME seems to be least buggy DE and gets out of my way when doing things. A nice bonus is that it also looks and feels good. I used to use plasma but it was just too buggy for me. Just today a random user realized that installing a theme f

Speaking of fossilized, OpenBSD still uses cvs for version control supposedly because it works well enough. Cvs "works", but then again I haven't yet seen a worse version control system.
