You got your wish!

Revenue? No. People like to say that costco gets its profit from membership fees, but that's just how the numbers happen to size up. They're still subject to the same laws of economic physics as anyone else. If COGS goes up, profit goes down, all else being equal. They'll have to push...

Stocks getting hammered due to the tariffs. Every stock I own--and I own quite a few--are down today, except for 2. 1 is a foreign stock, and the other is COSTCO, which on the surface would seem to be impacted by the tariffs more than most. Go figure. Got in on NVDA and added to META and...

You don't have to "turn off" your EVs?

Nice hacks! Legoland was our go-to theme park when my daughter was little. Back then, they still had the Star Wars garden. Her first couple times there, she could spend all day on the helicopters if we let her. It was way better than Disneyland, which cost much more, and felt like much...

NVDA and META threatening their support points.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

May your future success with them be as good as your recent success with BRK (congrats). That said, there are certainly storms brewing in the geopolitical world that will almost certainly increase volatility in the markets. Budget showdown on the horizon, to name just 1.

I completely agree, unused/zero balance doesn't help. I stated, "if the card is used every month", since I'm assuming people have something--anything--to charge every month, even if it's just a recurring cell phone bill. Assuming that's true, then paying off the card in full every month does...

Sorry, I have to respectfully disagree with this. As you stated, payment history is what matters; dragging a balance doesn't. If the card is used every month, there will be a balance every month and a payment history to match. One thing many consumers unfortunately don't understand about...

Googl getting very close to a support point. Limit order @ 165.XX and 150.XX, where XX is your lucky numbers.

Is it time to buy GOOGL yet? I've been in it for probably 10 years. Thinking of picking up some more. P/E is compelling for such a dominant company.

Maybe "consistently" is the key word here, because I just bought gas at Costco in Hawaii 2 days ago for $4.00 a gallon, and my local Costco in CA is selling it for $4.05. Anytime I hear someone complain about the cost of living in Hawaii, I know they've never lived in CA.

Yes, but the spam is current.

I flunked out of college and moved home with my parents. I didn't have a college fund to piss away, so I washed dishes in restaurants, which did absolute wonders for my self-motivation and shit-togetherness.
