Hi Dennis, I just saw this note, I'll be glad to suggest. Instead of YouTube, head on over to bogleheads.org. Warren Buffet's investment philosophy largely aligned with Jack Bogle's. …

Thanks for your service. I paid for my college via the USAF. I'm helping my kids with similar deals that you describe. With hard work, part-time jobs, good ACT preparation and well-chosen school…

Dead on. Caveat emptor.

Here's an article from 2016 (3 years back!) where Krugman predicted a global recession. "The economic fallout of a Donald Trump presidency will probably be severe and widespread enough to pl…

There will probably come a day (maybe soon) when electric cars become cheap and easily available. When that day arrives, ICE autos will probably become very affordable.

The relentless force of 'job title inflation' ensures there will be levels above Principal. (For instance, some organizations have 'Senior Principal'.) This is necessary because th…

Jack Bogle would warn against "fighting the last war". This means past results have no bearing on future results.

I've just worked hard and tried to find opportunities to keep my skills current. So far, I haven't noticed any problems. Less than a decade to go!

One of the greatest things about Warren Buffet is that he wants to share with everybody the techniques for accumulating wealth. YouTube is loaded with videos in which Buffet explains clearly how to ge…

29 year IT veteran here. I don't agree with a lot of this article. I remember panic-talk when outsourcing began. When offshoring arose. Etc. None of these extinguished the need for IT workers…

Wow, those are significant declines. It'll be interesting to see how Google reacts, and if the numbers trend back up.

Fair enough, thanks for the correction. Still, if the assertions are true, it raises concerns.

Have a look at this article from Forbes. The assertions (if true) are pretty harsh against Snopes. Please give it a fair read, offer your perspective. https://www.forbes.com/sites…

I do admit I see the BBC as left-leaning. I just finished reading a BBC article on Jussie Smollett, the actor in the news this week. The BBC article gave no hint the issue under discussion is anythin…

I'm a recent convert to 'Boglehead' investing. Among the principles Bogleheads follow, we don't like to pick individual stocks-- index funds are far safer. But I cheat a little. …

No loss for Facebook. I've had vigorous discussions about Snopes with friends. I'm mostly conservative, I feel Snopes has a liberal bias. My liberal friends feel otherwise. After much back…

I'm a tech worker, and I consider my greatest sporting accomplishments to be 'endurance type' events. (I ran a marathon, have bowled a sanctioned 300 game.) My own theory is that it&#x…

I think a lot of us hire into jobs we 'grow into'. When you find you've reached your level of incompetence, it's probably time to look for a way to move laterally. But if you find…

Hi Berdon! I grew up in Mitchell, but left about 30 years ago. As a youth, I had a paper route and vividly remember walking backwards on some cold days to keep the wind out of my face. Good luck with…

Just prior to reading this article I left the kitchen table where my wife and I were going over tax forms. I work for a tech company that has done well, we're getting acquired. I've accumul…

Wow. Props for the effort and passion. If I were him, I'd be wearing a helmet when I ran. I can't image what a 25 mph crash would feel like, from a couple of feet above standing height. Yik…

My favorite early MSFT employee is Chris Peters. Peters was an avid bowler and used some of his money to buy the struggling Professional Bowlers Tour. The WHOLE tour. https://www.si.com…

That's awesome. I really respect it when people are willing to put their money where their mouth is. Kudos to Gates.

My friend, you've missed out on a lot of early American rock 'n' roll history. Mercuries were the hot-rods of the early 50s. There are quite a few early songs that feature Mercurys.

Toyota's obsession with quality is paying off. I love cars, current ride is an 11 year old Toyota product. (Lexus IS F. Heart of a muscle car!) I kept my last ride almost 15 years, I hope to ke…

It's a big cycle. WW2 vets were the hard workers of the 50s, followed by the Flower-Power hippies of the 60s, followed by the Yuppies of the 80s, followed by the Slackers of the 90s.....

It does seem the press is a little trigger-happy these days, doesn't it?
