All kidding aside, this is actually a pretty good illustration of how the liberal mind works. IOW - that the government pulls the strings in life, and can (nay, SHOULD) fix, all aspects of our existence. When in reality, whenever they try to "tinker" they almost always **** things up. For the MOST part, the best thing government can do is to stay out of the way.
Exactly. High prices are the best cure for high prices....if the feckless govt stays out of the way. Our govt is run by authoritarians. They fail every single time. The USSR is simply the outcome we can expect from Bidenomics and leftwing controls. Imagine AOC running our economy and clowns like Sambortion push for it.
 
BREAKING: Politico reports Johnson now admires House Dem leader Jeffries who saved him from the motion to vacate, stated the most important principle is seeking compromise with the Democrats

Ole VH calls this a power move by Johnson.
And now you believe Politico? Amazing how MAGA's belief system so readily changes in favor of Lib supporters when it suits their emotions. LOL.

Jefferies couldn't do anything for Johnson if 196 Pubs didn't support him vs. the 11 fringe nutcases that didn't. With those 11 added votes for Johnson, Jefferies has nothing. But the fringe likes giving Jefferies power - so they can do what they do best: complain some more.

Speaking of Jeffries, should Biden somehow not be the Dims nominee, Jefferies would be their best choice to replace him imo.

Well, I find him to be a self-enriching, good old boy, crooked politician. I believe that he puts his personal/financial interests above the best interests of the state. He is adamantly opposed to legalization of marijuana and casino gambling while being heavily invested in the alcohol and gambling industries. He presents himself as a godly man when he is anything BUT (I'm not going to elaborate on this publicly, but if you want to message me, I will expand on it)

In short, I find him to be a disingenous POS, that is more concerned with "posturing" and advancing his personal interests than he is with moving this state forward. He's a boat anchor on progress, and frankly, an insufferable prick. He is the very embodiment of what is wrong with politics in this state.

I can keep going, but I think that's a pretty good start.
He's done after this term.
 
If you want to email me, you can at chmarcol@gmail.com

I will, in advance, retract my statement about him not being a Godly man. That was uncalled for, and not for me to judge. The rest of my points however I stand by.
In my Bible it instructs Christian brothers to call out each other. We need more men willing to call out wrong not silently sit by and watch it happen. I personally wish I had more men around me to provide guard rails in my life. Like don’t hit that send button lol

I had a family member who went to UK law school and did a clerk ship in his office. My nephew was very fond of him. I’m not arguing either way. I don’t know the man at all.
 
George Washington owned slaves and was a traitor.

Dwight Eisenhower fought for a segregated country.

Are their names on anything, educator?
Completely idiotic and illogical response.
George Washington did not fight a war primarily for the right to own slaves. George Washington FOUNDED the USA....He wasn't a traitor that FOUGHT AGAINST the USA. 🤡
Dwight E. fought to free Europe and the USA from the tyranny of Nazi Germany and helped to free thousands of Jews from forced concentration camps. He wasn't a traitor who FOUGHT AGAINST the USA. 🤡
You right wing Trump nuts love your insurrectionists who attack our own US Capitol and traitors who fought to keep slaves and declared war on the United States of America.

Oh I agree. I just said that in case anyone wants to give Biden/the Left credit for oil production. They have done what they can to stifle it, but luckily they have little control over most of it in the US.
They sure as hell could stifle it if they wanted with EOs and other red tape regulations.
The reason they haven't is because of the Russian oil embargo and the war in Ukraine.
Biden hates Putin way more than he loves regulating the fossil fuel industry. He knows if he cut production, it would send gas prices thru the roof and trash the economy.
He's done some window dressing regs to appease the base but nothing that has slowed production or stifled big oil.
The US has produced more oil under Biden than Trump. That's not an accident.

Oh yes, it was rigged. But only the “swing “ states were targeted. Why else would they tape up cardboard over the windows. Make observers stand back 30 feet. Even though there was a water main break in the Fulton county election building, no pictures, no evidence, heck no plumbers were even called.

This is why the honest, respectable, straight, non criminal, hard working Americans should not get their hopes up for a better future. The play book worked for the party of free loaders, criminals, LGBTQRST, abortion activists, atheists, and they will certainly use it again.

I believe it only because establishment Republicans are some of the weakest people in Washington, more concerned about “getting along” and “compromise” instead of offering real opposition. This has been the case with just about every Republican speaker after Gingrich. Democrats are just better at politics than Republicans. Johnson is a weak man and not a leader. MTG is a bigger idiot trying to replace him before the election, that was purely for fundraising purposes and sound bites. It’s not complaining, it’s just reality.

You seem impressed with Jeffries. He’s not impressive at all. Just another slick-talking politician with not much upstairs.

COB yesterday, TLRY closed at $1.93 per share. Huge decline from 5-year high at $49.85, (May 2019) and all-time high of $150 on Oct 12, 2018. Speculative issue at worst. At least they earn $ (income) through weed and beverage sales. I welcome the diversification aspect. Meh, great candidate for penny stock day trading.

We all have our beer preferences. Agree, big beer sucks. No argument there. My preferences lean heavily craft, served as close to the brewery as humanly possible. One might easily infer TLRY is a BUD spin-off. Nevertheless, I really don't give a damn so long as product meets my requirements.

I’ve only ever bought individual stocks once in my life, back in the 90’s when Papa John’s was growing like gangbusters and the company I worked for did a lot of work for them. I was fresh out of college so thought why not. I don’t remember how many shares I bought, but I held onto them till the stock split and I got a nice little dividend check from it. I sold them a little while after when I need the money.

So for a novice wanting to buy a few individual stocks, where’s the best place to start and make wise choices? Is TLRY worth buying 50-100 shares of at that price?
 
This happened in Atlanta. It happened in Milwaukee, It happened in Phoenix, it happened in Detroit, and it happened in Philly. That election was a farce. And they know they can do it again.
They keep acting like this had to be some big widespread thing for it to overturn the election. No it didn’t. It just needed to occur in a handful of major cities in swing states. That is certainly something that can be coordinated and carried out by a malicious group of bad actors.

In my opinion, legalization solves more problems than it creates. Aside from reducing law enforcement and litigation headaches, economic fallout (i.e. Jobs) usually a plus. Of course increased "Driving Under Influence" cases, along with accompanying health effects, probably turning some states off to the idea.

Lol. Yep. People would definitely driving slower. (Already a problem with the partakers here in Kentucky).

Ah, so now it’s about treason, even though you specifically talked about race. Funny how that goes.

It’s a small group of Americans today that would fight FOR the US Government. You are squarely in that group.

This has got to be the epitome of the effects of propaganda and why the MSM and communist wing pushes more bullshit on this public than a rodeo. You’re a flippin fool to the highest degree and it’s these types that will ruin the entire country for the rest of our grandchildren.

What a f’n moron. I wish you luck you’re really gonna need it.

So you believe Politico because Pubs are weak. Then why the hell are you a Pub if that's what you think of them? I mean you got the overwhelming majority of Pubs & most Dims thinking Johnson is the best option, yet you b!tch like the 11 fringe. Why can't you face where the large majority of the country is & suck it up? It's amazing how a few here think they know want the country as a whole wants when they're way the hell out in right field.

Jefferies doesn't have to be impressive to you to be a much better candidate than Biden. Articulate, black. Won their leader position. What else could Dims want? I think he'd wipe the election over Trump - not that I'd vote for him.

Wrong. It's about treating other human beings like garbage regardless of whether it is for religion, race, gender, disabilities or ethnicity.
The Nazis had multiple reasons for subjugating Jews as did the Confederates for their fight to continue their subjugation of black people.

As I said earlier....It is just as disgusting to advocate for naming high schools in America after Confederate generals as it would be to name schools in Germany after Nazi army generals.

It's real easy for Nazis and traitors to see it another way sadly.
Life is all about perspective.

Good questions. Couple things to keep in mind:

1. In today's no brokerage fee environment, we're no longer paying dreaded commissions. All trades are essentially fee free.

2. I've used TD Ameritrade for over 25 years. We paid $9.95 per trade up until a couple years ago. Opened a Charles Schwab Roth IRA account on January 1, 2018. Schwab purchased Ameritrade couple years ago. No trading fees policy remains in effect for now.

3. After opening a new account, investors may purchase as few as one share or as many as they like.

4. In your case, I might recommend a SoFi account. Great for new investors. Easy to use. I also maintain a SoFi account. Used account previously for trading TLRY.

5. Don't worry about IRA or Roth IRAs for new trading accounts.

6. If you search around, you can sometimes find cashback deals through Swagbucks or MyPoints or Inbox Dollars.

7. Honestly, I cannot recommend whether or not TLRY is worth investing. Company floundered until BUD announced a sale of assets to TLRY. For me, issue is more a speculative play. For example, if i purchase 100 shares for $193 and price suddenly falls to historic low of $1.60, I may purchase more.

8. Visit our Stock Advice thread.

Cheerleader for the traitors that fought against the United States in the Civil War.
Cheerleader for the insurrectionists that attacked our Capitol on January 6th and threatened to hang the Vice President.
At least you're consistent with your support for traitors and those that hate the United States.

Unless you're planning on spending lots of time studying the market, I'd stick to broad market ETF's or MF's. Odds are (highly?) against beating the market. Matching the market is a good reason to be in it. And I'd put it a Roth IRA account if possible. Best of success to you.

I see it differently. The northern invaders who attacked a new nation, the CSA. We lost. So the way the world works, except for those of you who say Hamas is the oppressed, to the victor goes the spoils. The northern invaders won so we live with it today.

Threatened to hang VPence. LOL. Sure. Tar and feather too. All the political symbolism.

I am not a Hamas supporter. I am a supporter of human rights, human dignity and a two state solution where both sides keep their pride.
