It is a great vehicle which for whatever reason has no allowance to be sold online Europe or at least Germany - very much looking for something similar to distribute the risk globally on value stocks outside the regular NVIDIA, FB, APPLE SetUp which is rather hard to find... currently working with this one instead which however has a significantly lower longterm gain:Xtrackers MSCI World Minimum Volatility UCITS ETF 1C 1C (IE00BL25JN58)

I can’t lie BL4 is really good. Randy Pitchford didn’t need to be a huge ass about it though

There is no way to say what I am saying, without looking like I am on 1 side. If people would read the words instead of reading into the secret meaning, then talking would be easier. If I were a member of the pride group, this would still be a valid point. And I understand that, but when the employees all look different than the customers, customers will be uncomfortable. Our local store has a big variety of people who dress and look different than the shoppers. I am in a large area with mostly families, when I went into Target, no employees were in any kind of uniform. The only way you could tell people work there is to see them stocking shelves. So many things are different between our Target and Walmart. Walmart, you know who to ask for help. Target, you guess the person stocking or standing by the pallets, is an employee and think about asking, but don't because it makes you uncomfortable to ask. This does not affect me, I have never been a Target shopper. I have had to stop there a couple of times for convenience, but I have not liked their setup for many years. All i was saying is they, and BL and all companies, need to know their customers before advertising to them. I am sure many have learned from those 2 companies, not to target advertising to one group. I have known for years that liberal money is as important as conservative money and if they throw half of it away because they didn't think, it is on them.

No way BL goes alone. It is a tactic. The best tactic to get a sweet deal is showing people you ready to walk away from the deal

I own some books and music CDs that I later learned were out of print and collectors items. the books I all bought used, a few bucks at most. the CDs were about $12 when new.

I'm not riding for Baldoni. You are riding hard for some creepy ass couple. I find it so idiotic that when someone on reddit doesn't share your opinion, you are presumed to be either a bot or someone falling for a PR hoax. RR and BL have always been problematic far before Baldoni. Just read any old gossip rags. To be clear, I could care less about this. I'm just correcting you that RR and BL always had quiet rumblings of being quite horrible in Hollywood for years, it's not some new PR hoax.

zinoozy

RR And BL were terrible for many many years. They always alluded to it on gossip sites long before Baldoni so I don't really buy the it's PR bs.

Brokeragelink is awesome. I’ve also learned that most plan sponsors offer a SDB but sometimes they’re hidden or the employer restricts access because they’re riskier. Signing up for BL was very easy. A few years ago I changed employers and got a new administrator that made me jump through a bunch of hoops and sign various attestations related to different security types before I could sign up for their SDB.

Gen Z discovering anime not called one piece or Naruto over the last 5 years has been a massive mistake. Although i will say, watching them realize that by and large it doesn't give a fuck about their culture war bullshit has been very funny. Little shit-stain junior Republicans learning in real time that a huge amount of anime is both progressive and extremely gay was hilarious, the Google translate abuse they hurled at the creators less so. At the same time seeing the ultra woke cancel culture crowd seething that the usual twitter campaigns and call outs fueled by outrage over an over abundance of anime tits do fuck all was also a sight to behold. It led to some strange bedfellow situations. I remember when there was an announcement that a popular BL manga was getting an anime adaptation and seeing the reactions in different spheres of the Internet. Fujoshis in raucous celebration, far right twitter threads calling it woke degenerate garbage corrupting the youth, far left twitter threads calling out anyone that watches saying it fetishizes gay relationships, the rest of the anime community not particularly caring because it had nether cool fights or tits. I'm not usually one for the horseshoe theory but it does have it's moments.

Exactly, [Buffett has a whole letter he sends his management team](https://www.wsj.com/articles/BL-MBB-31129), the TLDR version is 'We can afford to lose money we cannot afford to lose reputation'. Because damage to your reputation can be done in an instant and can often be permenant. The world no longer has any reason to trust the US to be a good ally, trade partner, stable global presence. We could roll back all of this tomorrow and our reputation will remain tarnished.

Fair enough although I doubt Elon was really expecting it to hurt his company or he obviously wouldn't be doing it, he's just a rich dumb weirdo so its a latent effect.

Learn to read, lol! Name a single thing in my post that was false: "Bud Light managed to alienate its core audience." This is why their sales are down 30%. This is fact. "the middle people like me that didn't want their choice politicized because we don't care" Okay, maybe I can't speak for everyone but I can speak for myself: I don't want my beer choice to be political.

Here is a theory for covid. Sorry but this is long so get ready to read TL;DR There were two pandemics occurring simultaneously COVID and H7N9. The real danger was/still is(?) US GOF H7N9 HPAI (Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza) and is what in fact killed 7 million people, 1.2 being Americans. Operation Warpspeed was a cover for fast-tracking Moderna's H7N9 mRNA vaccine through phase 2 and 3 human trials (it completed phase 1 in 2018). COVID was released in Wuhan to seed the narrative that China lost control of GOF Coronavirus research, thereby shifting blame for the inevitable global health crisis away from the United States before the vaccine could get approved under EUA. \--- H7N9 first appeared in China during March 2013 and began ravaging their poultry industry.

Because if you held through the dot com bubble you would have had a -99.98% drawdown in TQQQ. With inflation, youd have a long term -2.45% return holding TQQQ. Ofc, if you bought *after* the dip, youd be happy as a clam. This is a timing game. https://testfol.io/?d=eJxdjzFPw0AMhf%2BL5xtSITGchLpUnRjIiFAVmZwTDK6v%2BEwqFOW%2F90pAIDz56VnvfZ5hlPyM8oCGxwJxhuJo3iV0gggQgDT9Uas7oUDcNHUCYHrtWAdB56wQ3T4oQI%2FlZZB8htj8im4weq8xj4QmnzXMsgjr2J1Z0%2FX2tlkCnLL5kIVzpXmaQfH4Xc06UfEdT5wqU%2FmpMqr4qD3t%2F6U7929ka8q6V7dt2%2B393U21T2Q9qX%2F9sRwCJMOx4i6H5QKw71zQ Then in 2008 youd have had a 95% drawdown. Then there were some 60%, 70%, and 80% other drawdowns. Ofc when you have return drivers like nvidia in an index of 100 companies levered 3x, QQQ often comes back, but no one who bought before an event like dot com crash wont have recovered, even over 24 years.

On a more serious note, though, do you have any tips on how to look out for lows & highs in markets for the purposes of BL/SH? I'm not really sure how to predict those movements, albeit I've only been trading for a week now, but I know there's got to be some way people look at the market so they know if stocks will continue to climb or continue to fall when prices plateau.

Enough_Aerie1283

Take more risk when you are younger and under 25% your planned retirement portfolio value. Using a leveraged index ETF strategy with a stable fund like SCHD is great. 50TQQQ / 50SCHD outperformed the market amazingly the past 10yrs and with acceptable volatility and drawdown as a buy and hold strategy but is not recession proof. As you gain age and portfolio value, use less leverage to mitigate drawdown risk and volatility. Personally I use 50 QLD / 50 SCHD for my 401k in my late 30s that I rebalance yearly. I manage to outperform the base S&P by using slight leverage index ETF. If you want more diversification and a bit lower drawdown risk mix in VIT + SSO in place of the QLD. You can manage drawdown further by converting leveraged position to guiding index ETFs (i.e. QLD convert to QQQE) when the market begins to contract with a bear progression / recession or begin holding cash and bonds as an allocation. Convert back to leverage when the market begins to expand and grow again. Prioritize growth over drawdown risk when you are young. I am planning to stick with this current strategy until I am at least 45. Here is a 20yr backtest for quick analysis substituting DIA for SCHD due to fund similar performance and time span constraints- past performance does not predict the future - just be ready for a recession drawdown by willing to not participate with leverage and fully in the market is my advice. https://testfol.io/?d=eJy9kl9rwjAUxb9KyYNsUG0a7XAFGcNuTHDqrIgyhty1qWaLiaaZMsTvvrTuj3UIe9jWp%2BSec%2B%2F9nbYbNOXyEXgPFMxT5G9QqkHpSQyaIh8RjGtlXC%2BTOrIRFfFXneT1Kjb1XccKOPJdbB4bQfw0YSLhoJkUyE%2BAp9RGEaSzhMs18r3M9HGdJIouzcxbKfSMv5qBSnLOxHSyZiLO7C7Z2mghlU4kZ9JQ3m%2BQgHkG4mGrA2kMS6s6shzLXMPmTWBmMLGiqQ7YisWG2%2FRo9WIYFDVhQUT0erd0TEHlOzWLnqnazd6djdofd5uji3ajWrpqlEkFn3vGuaAqokJnKbb2njloXR6oDzaKFUyRnxu%2FEZM%2FJCYZsVs5I79AHIZd564dOMNBy8lYT0zf6f8AE68APNSsoB7EYbCv1opq2BsP%2Bu%2BL3ArO%2F%2BhPr%2BsdiV7qmS%2BEfx62IwU9FjUnKGzFhTf%2BsH0Dlv8dfA%3D%3D

Did people who drink Bud Light actually stop drinking Bud Light after the LGBT thing? Everyone I know who drinks BL still does, and did, throughout all that "fiasco"

FeedbackConstant2104

Not at all interested in arguing, actually. I’ve simply been caught a bit off guard by how emotional a subsection of people apparently are on Reddit when it comes to Elon & how that seems to affect their ability to reason about the companies he runs & the products they produce. Just for shits n giggles, if we wanted to make your example work…let’s say Elon gets super high on some random day & suddenly decides to hire someone who is trans to be the new face of Tesla. I don’t think the outcome would necessarily be as catastrophic as it was for BL despite predictable backlash. But that would be an interesting 1 to 1 comparison. Anywho, I understand what you were trying to point out.

FeedbackConstant2104

1) Lets see…about 250 words is a “wall of text” that is “too much to read.” Let’s hope you didn’t choose your screen name based on actual vocation; 2) Cliff’s Notes: *you* framed the argument vs Bud Light - which means it’s not “beside the point” to compare outcomes. Rather, this is obviously a bad parallel since the outcome for BL using DM as the face for its product line was demonstrably *catastrophic…while Elon’s behavior has created no comparable market backlash or meaningful long term negative effect for Tesla.

FeedbackConstant2104

Hmmm. It is fair to say that both are examples of how representation can affect perception of a company or its products…or perhaps even performance. However the Bud Light example is such an exaggerated case of historic downturn it can hardly be considered a true parallel. It’s obvious at face value that BL’a decision to use DM as a “face person” for its product line was a massive disaster that knocked permanent value off the brand. My contention is that Elon’s position & projection on social media has had no provable effect on company performance whatsoever. He may upset a subsection of the target market but thus far we’ve not seen any direct evidence this has had even the slightest effect on Tesla. So it’s really not “besides the point” at all, is it? After all, you chose to frame your response relative to Bud Light.

If you know a little but of ochem, you just have to learn how to do recombinant DNA technology. ThoughtEmporium and a girl who focuses on plants on Youtube teach you all you need to know. Get yourself the sequence off RCSB.org , get DNA printer from Kilobaser, nickel beads, imidazole, antibiotics, buffer solutions, E Coli BL21, petri dishes, pipettes, and a few minor other stuff and voila, you can corner a billion dollar market. Distribution is the issue. Clinical trials. The cartels have that sorted. That's why I think they have a shot at it. Say they even just sell it for $100/month rather than $1500. That's a nobrainer. They don't give a fuck about pen design patents. Injection mold that shit and get that bread son.

Key difference being that Bud Light is a *lot* easier to replace than Walmart. I think major reason it hurt so much is that many of their (BL) customers hadn't even realized how good the alternatives were, and ended up not switching back.

Bud light paid her over six figures and printed her face on cans…not sure what the advertising ploy from BL could be besides trying to be “woke”. I guess maybe they were trying to gain some market share in the trans community 🤷‍♂️

Except that's completely false and they can be bullish. You're assuming they will cut after a deflationary spiral when more likely they will target higher inflation.

Powell literally said in the press conference "there is widespread academic support for various speeds of tightening". Right now academia has mountains of support for higher inflation being a much more realistic target: [The Case for a Long-Run Inflation Target of Four Percent](https://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/wp/2014/wp1492.pdf) [The Case for Raising the Inflation Target Is Stronger than You Think](https://www.piie.com/blogs/realtime-economic-issues-watch/case-raising-inflation-target-stronger-you-think) [The Case for Raising the Fed’s Inflation Target](https://www.wsj.com/articles/BL-REB-36448) [We really do need 4% inflation target](https://delong.typepad.com/sdj/2013/05/we-really-do-need-a-4year-inflation-target.html) [It is time to revisit 2% inflation target](https://www.ft.com/content/02c8a9ac-b71d-4cef-a6ff-cac120d25588)

yup, give it a year of watching people get starched on a BL logo and people will forget.

BL is forever tainted, no amount of marketing will erase that. Only with time will the stigma be forgotten but never by the marketing scholars.

BL3 is perfection. 🤌

Individuals are also shopping elsewhere due to the plethora of ‘Pride’ items for children. Similar event that occurred with BL, if you upset enough if your customer base, they will shop elsewhere…

>Why does it bother you if a trans person made one single advertisement for a beer? Why does it bother you if BL drinkers moved on?

I like BL sue me

Thing is mass produced crappy beer was already experiencing a sharp decline. From Beer consumption reduction to more people moving upmarket, every cheap lager has lost sales. BL is one of the lowest quality ones and had been dropping for a while the trans add campaign just accelerated the wagon down the cliff...
