Bingo. This sort of investing works well in bull market, and after an almost 9 run-up, I'm guessing we have a lot of younger traders who have not seen a bear market. This is not going to end well for a lot of folks...

Gates is worshipped by most millennials, including the techies. For those of us who've been around for a while - as your reference to Slashdot points out - this can be surprising considering just how hated he was a decade or two ago wh

Which policy is causing suicides? Seems like you'd mention it unless it is a politically charged issue, perhaps related to gender relations or immigration or something.

Who are these mysterious funders of the alt-right, in either Germany or the US? Unlike the left, which does seem to have a few favorite donors concentrated high up amongst the elites, it doesn't appear that the alt-right has many frien

The Washington Post, IMO, has taken a serious dive in the past few years. Unlike the NYTimes and WSJ, WAPO has simply become another click-bait, hit-piece site like Salon or Buzzfeed. It's shameless.

What are you talking about? The prevailing wage law of the H1B is only $60k, and these are for the best and brightest workers our mega corps need, due to a lack of qualified US workers. So obviously, $50k is more than adequate. /s

Hopefully this trend continues. Every mile of my overcrowded and high COL city dedicates a few square blocks to huge retail outlets - Office Max, Kohl's, Best Buy, etc. Besides the stores themselves, they all include huge parking lots

Except for the US citizens who now might have a job or even a bit of wage growth after 30 years of non-stop immigration from mostly low wage countries, with the ensuing wage arbitrage used by US businesses.

Is it really that Americans are just not racist against Australian workers , but are racist towards brown people on work visas? Or could it be something else? Maybe Americans don't tend to see their whole IT and Dev departments being f

Just read the article. They blocked Google Wallet on Verizon phones, so not completely comparable as, say, throttling Nexus. As a side note, their competing mobile payment platform was called ISIS . I'm guessing they rebranded since t

So that $100k RSU you see in the list should not be considered yearly, but instead something like 25% of it per year?

This may have been true pre-ACA, but it isn't the reality now. It's now a system where wealthy, government employees, and the poor (i.e. subsidized) have access to full care, and most of the middle class just goes without. In the

I doubt this procedure will catch on with men, but artificial wombs are coming sooner or later. Personally, I think this will, in modern historical terms, be the most significant catalyst in equalizing the genders. But I don't expect

That is quite interesting to hear from a woman. Artificial wombs are coming. I was under the impression that women considered pregnancy as a burden which carries risks, is painful, causes all sorts of negative hormonal / physiological

I will stand corrected if I can find the sliding scale with accurate data fulling explaining the formula. But what I saw myself years ago at school, and currently hear anecdotally, is that most subsidies - from the feds, states, the univers

But I thought the Trump tax plan was going screw the middle class . From just a glance at the chart, though: 1. More are receiving a tax cut than a tax increase. 2. Those receiving an actual increase are highly concentrated near the $0 amo

Oh thanks - I did edit it, leaving it even more confusing. I think censoring ideas will lead to groups moving to echo chambers where whatever issue they have, is magnified into something far more absurd than the original issue probably is.

I'd be willing to give it a try once just to see if they have ideas with which I'm unfamiliar. How much are these flat fees for an hour or two of their time?
