#Made in Japan when was the last time something said that? I know, my VCR was Sony.
Interesting you’re getting downvoted. It’s not guaranteed but it is a completely valid point. Now, as an individual investor I would not buy Tesla stock straight up due to the risk profile. I purchased VCR for some good exposure and there are other ways to get heavy in TSLA without buying the stock
What he said isn’t correct anyway. They don’t just take steak out in that case. They do make basket changes over time such as removing VCR players because of a mass exodus of consumers from buying them
I've worked in search marketing for almost 20 years. Google is not going away. It will evolve. ChatGPT is an app with a front end, and a backend. That's what Google's standalone search app is. Google is planning to update the Google search app that we all know very well (and it's desktop web version as well) into a new interface that searches the web for information and returns answers instead of blue links. There is no company on Planet Earth that has crawled and injested more information than Google. The entire internet (Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are installed on just about every website), maps (Google Maps), videos (YouTube), a huge chunk of email traffic (ubiquitous GMail), Google images and plenty more information. Google Android is the OS for 78% of smartphones in America and tracks every action directly on phones. Google Chrome is the most used browser and knows everything we do on our desktops, laptops and mobile web because everyone logs into Chrome. Google Nest. Google Play. Google Music. Google Shopping. YouTube for crying out loud which is the world's #2 search engine. Google knows everything and everyone up to the milisecond and has 2 decades of practice storing that data, cataloging that data and acting on that data to build the largest advertising business ever created. Google has the best software engineers on Earth, infinite R&D capital, ubiquitous distribution on every digital device ALREADY. And Google has created the ultimate marketing platform used by ad agencies and corporate marketers and local businesses globally. It is the STANDARD for ease of use, and the reason Google is the very first dollar every company large and small spends in marketing. Google will engineer paid search to be embedded into AI results and will do it in a way that the consumer will appreciate. Google Ads will be rebooted to feel much more like the Gemini AI interface to the consumer with the back end ad buying platform similar to the way buyers have used it for decades. ChatGPT doesn't have a chance against Google and Gemini. ChatGPT is MySpace or a Betamax VCR. Fast start but will pull up lame. I think OpenAI will become the backbone AI built into devices and white-labeled but this will be about as much of a contest as Google vs. Bing in about a year. Watch the Google I/O conference video and you'll see how Google evolves its search product to modernize the workflow everyone is already used to, with the whiz-bang of Gemini intelligence and follow-up questions to find what you need. Just watch. I've already noticed a lack of updates to the current Google Ads platform. I think Google has pulled all of its engineers and product people over to the new Google Ads platform. They are getting it ready to annihilate all these Perplexity, Claude also-rans, stealing the best of each, the same way Meta has ground Snap, FourSquare and Twitter into the dust. Capital, technology, existing infrastructure, consumer habits and platform distribution wins. ChatGPT will soon be a toy compared to what Google brings to the table.
It was just one example. It has happened countless times. In economics it is called the lump of labor myth. The idea that there are a fixed number of jobs. You can't predict the new jobs that will be created but they exist because things get cheaper. It opens up new roles like being involved in the movie industry (and millions of other new jobs). There are plenty of areas the world should be addressing but are not. We can't afford enough doctors, teachers, even to keep our streets/ environment clean or look after the elderly. Here are a bunch of jobs that no longer exist and yet we have seen record-low unemployment: 1. Switchboard Operator 2. Elevator Operator 3. Bowling Pin Setter 4. Lamplighter 5. Ice Cutter 6. Typist 7. Film Projectionist 8. Railroad Fireman 9. Milkman 10. Copy Boy 11. Telegraph Operator 12. Coal Delivery Worker 13. Log Driver 14. Travel Agent (mass market) 15. VCR Repair Technician 16. Human Alarm Clock (knocker-upper) 17. Mimeograph Operator 18. Switchboard Installer 19. Soda Jerk 20. Cigar Roller 21. Linotype Operator 22. Street Photographer 23. Shoe Shiner (urban profession) 24. Newspaper Typesetter 25. Book Peddler 26. Factory Loom Operator 27. Punch Card Operator 28. Video Store Clerk 29. Radio Drama Actor 30. Door-to-Door Encyclopedia Salesman 31. Horse-Drawn Carriage Driver (urban transport) 32. Telegraph Messenger 33. Ice Deliveryman 34. Rag-and-Bone Man 35. Coal Miner (in many countries) 36. Toll Booth Collector 37. Projection Slide Operator 38. Letterpress Printer 39. Switchman (railroad yard) 40. Manual Gas Station Attendant (full service only) Also I will point out that on most companies the working age population is shrinking. We are running lower on workers every year. This doesn't mean there may not be short-term difficulties as the workforce transitions and you have a percentage of the population that part of "Structured unemployment" ie find it hard to retrain for a new role. https://www.stlouisfed.org/open-vault/2021/january/refuting-lump-labor-fallacy-two-lessons
check out $VCR, consumer discretionary. largest holding is amazon.
You can buy a house for the price of VCR.
>how did the UK deal with it's loss of status, power, and influence? The UK lost its power due to WWI and WWII. It's a very different game from the US, where we were on top of the world in January of 2025 and then some fat moron decided to burn it all down because he had to pay too much for a Japanese VCR in 1990.
We're just so far behind. Once the next battery tech moves onto the next thing and the next mineral, we will be left holding a bag of nickel cadmium's while the rest of the world has moved onto lithium ion. This sounds like stock piling VCR's so we can take over the movie rental business right when we go streaming.
So the legislative branch is pretty much a VCR in 2025?
“To mamma so fat she wears a VCR for a beeper.”
> but I think its important to remember that education is generally always good unless its from a nefarious source this is the problem. more education in an area of little to no need doesn't mean it's good. If you were to read books upon VCR repair, chances are it is going to be a waste of time.
"How much stocks can I get for this VCR"?
Hey… there’s always grandma’s VCR we could pawn off
Have you seen the Black Mirror episodes where they can record people's memories and that British dyke kills a bunch of people and a blind baby but then in the end she gets rumbled cause a hamster saw her do it and they can watch her memories back on a VCR? That's what's gonna happen to you
Yes - BUT. I have 4 accounts. My 2 largest accounts I don't touch (except once to rebalance over a decade) and are ETFs only. In the other 2 I have a basic core that I keep and don't sell unless they are obviously going bankrupt or something which is unlikely. Right now that's AMZN, NVDA, WMT, ABBV, GOOG and LB in larger positions. I try to have a mix but those consumer stocks and VCR are doing great right now. Lots of tech exposure already in the 2 big untouchable accts.
I have *most* of my money in ETFs and got lucky with the Vanguard Technology ETF over the past several years. Since I'm old I diversified into bonds and added a small cap ETF recently because small caps have underperformed over the past several years. It's time for that pendalum to swing. That's my 403B. I have a ROTH with core positions in VCR, VOOG, Amazon, Walmart, ABBV and added BABA last month. (I just love BABA and always have, I had to cut it loose when it fell a couple years ago). I also have a *fun* account I trade options in with core positions in VGT and NVDA. My highest convictions right now are HIMS and NBIS. I also like ZBRA and have been waiting for it to fall, which it just did. We'll see where things go. HIMS earnings is this week so it'll run up, but who knows after. Personally I think it's a gold mine and will blow out earnings and run further up, but I have been wrong before. TEM looks really good also but it's volatile so if I decide to jump back in I'm waiting for a bad market day. Those AI health care stocks seem to be doing well. I like to buy LEAPS with options in my fun acct. This gives me a lot of time to become profitable, but I don't necessarily keep until close to expiry. I only play around (options) with about 40k or so. I will never make a million in a week like some on here, but I won't lose a million either. I have fun and keep my losses minimal. I have a deal with myself that when I turn a nice profit (up 50%) I sell a few of whatever stock or option that is and buy more VCR, VGT or VOOG. I don't ever sell the ETFs or core positions in Amazon, Walmart, ABBV, NVDA and now hopefully BABA as long as it continues to show strength. If I need funds I have to sell another stock or add money. IMO, putting a % of my winner stocks into the ETFs and NOT SELLING THE CORE POSITION STOCKS are the keys to success.
I knew saving those VCR machines was smart.
VCR industry making a huge comeback
I lost €1300 yesterday on TSLA puts and the most annoying thing about it was that I had the direction right but was too OTM. What’s worse is that the final dip at the end of day brought me back to $.50 a contract and a loss of less than €500. So I thought. I closed the trades and was feeling a bit better about things until I noticed that my PnL was still -€1366, lower than it had been all day. Well those cucks at IBKR marked my positions liquidated at $.20 instead of $.50. I wish there was an alternative in Europe. It’s like trading with a Russian VCR.
Good thing I have a VCR on my phone.
They're children. They don't know or care about quality. A VCR is like $20. Disney VHS are free. It would pay itself off in 6 weeks of not having Disney.
I don't know. My friends insist they need Disney for their kids. I point out that if you have a kid a VCR and a pile of Disney tapes, they'd never know the difference and they don't say anything.
Do you have to close them 1 at a time? I need to use IBKR for options and it’s like listening to music with a VCR.
It’s because we are young and want to buy the dip. We also know if a 2008 ever happened we’d sell a kidney to buy as much Realestate and VTI/VCR/VHT/FTEC/FSELX as possible and then get fat in 20yr
I know it takes some of the fun out of it, but in the long run, the odds are against you beating VOO. Yes, VTI is great too (I have a large position in that as well), but VOO does seem to exceed it slightly even over longer time horizons. \[C[hart](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/VOO/chart/#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--)\] On the other hand, if you want to have a bit more fun and tweak your allocations according to macroeconomic trends (or your own educated guesses), look into some low-expense sector ETF's, such as VCR, VGT, VDE, etc. (I prefer Vanguard because they're inexpensive and I'm used to them.) I recently bet on the lagging utility sector (VPU, XLU), and it seems to be working out nicely. And if you want to be aggressive, there's QQQ (or VGT). I also have a core position in BRK.B, which is kind of in a class by itself, although who knows what's going to happen post Buffett. I've been in the markets since 1988, and the more I learn, the greater my ignorance. Conversely, the less I trade, the better I perform.
As porn did for the VCR and DVD player, AI girlfriends may seriously be a killer app at this rate
Putin can neither take over lowly Ukraine nor keep them from pushing into Russia any nuke he has is only as good as far he can deliver it which is probably not that far. Let’s be real Russia has showed they’ve been given undue respect for 50+ years with this recent war. Their army ain’t shhh… USA would be standing on Zelensky”s throat in less than 48 hours if we wanted to take over Ukraine here they are 2 years into a war hiring mercenaries bc their men are scared and untrained and their tanks are as obsolete as a VCR… send in a navy seal or red barrette assassin and be done with the little wanna be Napoleon, the only similarity is the short stature and little dick. Man it’s bad when a Frenchman is better at conquering than you.
Japanese VCR high quality, excellent rewinding. Nicky bullish.
software is extensible, code is transferable there will never be a "better crypto" than Bitcoin because of this fact it's not like hardware I've seen people make the VCR vs. BetaMax argument I've seen people make the argument that we don't still use Apple II computers these are dumb arguments bc software (particularly the open-source variety) has the capacity to evolve in a decentralized way such that anyone can choose to upgrade at any time, for free
Unlike all of the other streaming platforms, Disney's classic library is deep and strong. People may not want to stay subscribed all year, but at some point the nostalgia bug bites. They'll pay the $8-$10 and stream all the old favorites over digging out the VCR and dealing with tapes and DVDs.
What I did. All in Roth IRA. 8/5 VOO at 478 8/2 VCR at 299 8/2 VGT at 529.78 8/1 VGT at 546 Not that much of a difference, but I'm up on them 🤷♂️
I was trying to grab *Forrest Gump* at the Blockbuster because I keep hearing good things about it but I must have not been looking closely because when I got home and put the tape in my VCR it was a movie called *Forest Dumps* that was just like 95 minutes of a few different people taking dumps in the woods one by one … 6 out of 10 I had some problems with the plot
Just put my margin call VHS into the ol' VCR about to watch it on my 60" Plasma so I can teleport back to 10/19/87. GET READY FOLKS. Margin calls left and right, we hittin circuit breakers in morning and SPY gonna have one of those 150MM volume days. What a time to be alive!
Ngl I kinda sharted into a few of them and I guess when the VCR heated up the tape and it got all warm the smell started wafting out into the living room 💀
It is a progression that has been happening for the past forty years. In the 80's, the VCR came out. Now you can watch a movie at home instead of going to the theater. Then DVDs came out offering a better picture and sound than VHS tapes. Next can Blu-ray that offered even better picture and sound. Streaming services lead to the end of Blockbuster and eventually Redbox. Theaters were doomed with the advent of high definition home theater systems and people building Theater rooms in their house. You can have a large screen TV/Projector with Surround Sound in your own home and watch a movie on your couch in your PJs. A family of four costs the same as a single person watching the movie. You can pause the movie whenever you want and eat popcorn and soft drinks for a fraction of the cost in a theater. Thanks to Covid, Streaming services are even offering "Movies on Demand" in which you can watch movies at home that are playing at the theaters.
If you’re keen on consumer staples/discretionary, I’d go with ETFs like VCR, XLP, IYK and such. Yet, VTI would be a wiser choice.
If it was me at 25 I would probably be BND 60% VTI 40% and get more aggressive near the end of the rate cut cycle to VTI 25% VGT 25% VBK 25% VCR 25%. Maybe even have UPRO or TQQQ if the market crashes.
Hell yeah, putting my VCR on ebay asap!
Elon vs [BioHazard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioHazard#:~:text=BioHazard%20is%20a%20combat%20robot,combat%20robots%20of%20all%20time.) I'd bust out the VCR and record that match.
Due Diligence: PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (TSX: PYR, OTCQX: PYRGF) Hey everyone, I wanted to share some recent updates on PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (PYR), a high-tech company focused on advanced plasma processes and sustainable solutions. These updates are based on responses from the company’s recent annual general meeting and several recent news releases. There are some exciting developments worth noting that could signal a bullish trend for the stock. Key Highlights: 1. Titanium Metal Powder Project: • Status: The project is progressing well, with ongoing production and delivery of titanium powder. This dismisses earlier concerns about potential cancellation. • Second Order: PyroGenesis received a second order from a leading Spanish aerospace client for its high-quality titanium metal powder, suitable for advanced additive manufacturing methods. The client indicated the potential for a long-term contract following the successful completion of this order, showcasing the growing demand and confidence in PyroGenesis’ products. 2. Plasma Resource Recovery System (PRRS): • Initial Value: Initially valued at $25-30 million. • Current Negotiations: The project has expanded significantly and is now being negotiated for a total contract value between $115-160 million. This major increase could greatly enhance the company’s revenue stream. 3. Name Change: • Status: The company is in the final stages of a name change, signaling a rebranding effort that might attract new investors and increase market visibility. 4. SPARC™ Waste Destruction System: • Status: The project for the New Zealand client is progressing well, despite a delay in delivery to early 2025 due to construction delays. This aligns with New Zealand’s aggressive GHG reduction targets. 5. Plasma Torch Advancement: • Negotiations: Ongoing negotiations with a North American entity for a high-power plasma torch system, with a potential contract value of $15-25 million. This showcases the company’s technological advancements and market demand for its innovative solutions. 6. Pyro Green-Gas Developments: • Recent Contracts: Signed contracts totaling $2.5 million for the delivery of a thermal swing adsorption (TSA) system for the $1 billion Varennes Carbon Recycling (VCR) plant. This project, supported by major corporate partners and government backing, aims to convert up to 200,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste and residual biomass into biofuels and chemicals, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. • Additional Negotiations: Negotiating a $2 million contract with a biogas production entity. This adds to the $4 million in new projects already signed this year, highlighting the subsidiary’s growth potential. 7. PozPyro Cement Additive Project: • Lab Results: On May 2, 2024, PyroGenesis announced that its PozPyro green cement additive achieved remarkable results in 28-day lab strength tests, surpassing the compressive strength target by up to 99.56%. This development positions PozPyro as a strong replacement for fly ash in cement, offering significant environmental benefits by reducing CO2 emissions during production. • Market Potential: The North American cement market is projected to reach 279.8 million tons by 2032, presenting a substantial market opportunity for PozPyro. The client is raising funds for a pilot plant, indicating strong future potential for this product. 8. Major Partnership with Global Aluminum Producer: • Contract Value: PyroGenesis announced a multi-year contract valued at approximately $50 million with a leading global aluminum producer. This agreement involves the deployment of PyroGenesis’ patented plasma torch technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve energy efficiency in aluminum production. Why This Matters: • Significant Contract Increases: The substantial increase in the PRRS project value and ongoing negotiations for other high-value contracts reflect growing confidence in PyroGenesis’ capabilities. • Technological Advancements: The company’s progress in plasma torch technology and waste destruction systems demonstrates its competitive edge and potential for market disruption. • Strategic Growth: The rebranding effort and expansion of Pyro Green-Gas projects indicate strategic moves to capture more market share and enhance investor appeal. • Major Partnerships: The new $50 million contract with a global aluminum producer and the $2.5 million contracts for the VCR project underscore the commercial viability and industry trust in PyroGenesis’ technologies. • Growing Aerospace Presence: The second order from a Spanish aerospace client and the potential for long-term contracts highlight the company’s expanding footprint in the high-demand aerospace sector. • Sustainable Innovations: The exceptional performance of the PozPyro green cement additive in lab tests highlights PyroGenesis’ commitment to sustainable innovations that have the potential to revolutionize the cement industry. Bullish Outlook: Given these positive developments, PyroGenesis appears to be on a solid path to growth. The company’s technological innovations, increased contract values, and strategic initiatives suggest a strong potential for the stock to regain its previous high of $11. This could be the beginning of an upward trend, making now a potentially great time to consider PYR for your portfolio. Disclaimer: This is not financial advice.

No, but I have a CRT with a built in VCR I did that on 20-ish years ago Why do I still have this old ass tv? Best way to play Melee & other retro games
I would pick a consumer ETF and a healthcare ETF. VCR and VHT would give you diversity in the sectors. You usually want multiple Pharma stocks to get and for the next blockbuster drug in your portfolio. Pfizer doesn’t have a GLP1. It’s facing the dreaded patent cliff as well. It’s got a good dividend but I’d rather own all the big pharmaceutical companies the just PFE. Add SCHD to your watch list, it screens for quality and has PFE and Pepsi in it.
VCR are coming back
Porn made VCR big. Porn made phone screens big. Porn makes my willy big. There's nothing porn can't make big it seems.
Everybody has that one friend that steals from family and friends u get used to it . My VCR is missing fuckin Peter then you laugh about it damn you . Peter strikes again .

Yo momma’s so fat she wears a VCR as a beeper!
Our first VCR in 1983 cost $400
Warren Buffet doesn’t trust AI. He just learned how to set the time on his VCR.
If you invest in an individual company, that company belongs to a market sector. Market sectors have indexes. Also the market as a whole has an index. These can be used as benchmarks. For instance [Amazon](https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/xnas/amzn/quote) belongs to the "Consumer Cyclical" sector. This can be related to an index such as [VCR](https://www.morningstar.com/etfs/arcx/vcr/quote) . Amazon happens to be a member of this index, but that's not necessary for the benchmarking. But if we look at the historical performances the 1 year return of the VCR index is about 23.5% and Amazon is about 78%. So with VCR as a benchmark, Amazon is out performing. If you wanted to benchmark Amazon against something like the S&P 500 or a total market index, you'd find a relevant ETF that tracks it, and then find it's historical yields for comparison against Amazon.
Yo momma is so fat she wears a VCR as a beeper.
Maybe try the ETF Vanguard Consumer Staples $VDC, biggest holdings are Walmart and Costco. Also Vanguard Consumer Discretionary $VCR fund index. Holds a lot of Amazon, unfortunately a lot of Tesla also. I like to have Amazon, Microsoft, Walmart individually, but also have ETFs to supplement.
This sounds like the same globalist free market logic we’ve used for decades. “But prices will rise and that will make it harder for…” OR- prices will rise, making it possible for domestic steel manufacturers to make more money, leading to expansion of domestic steel production, a more robust steel industry, and shorter supply chains. Prices will rise on manufactured goods, too. So what? How many washing machines do people buy in their life? This is all inflationary, people will say. This is probably true. I’ll take some inflation along with more supply chain links located here. A steel mill is a massive part of a local economy, and generates its own mini-economy of thousands of people. This is the same “it’s better for everyone if everything is produced where it is cheapest” logic that got us into this goddamned mess to begin with. No, cheaper isn’t always better. My dad paid $1200 for our first VCR. Who cares? It was one VCR. And he worked for a company who sold American made tools to American workers. Why would I take a a $30 DVD player so my dad could have worked in unstable service work? Pass. I really don’t think higher steel prices will result in significantly higher food prices, higher home prices, or higher healthcare prices. You know, the things people really care about. Maybe it’s fine if my chair costs $150 instead of $120, if I have a job working in manufacturing with benefits.
Beginner Portfolio Check ? I'm a 24 year old making a decent salary ($100-110k/year). Going to list my current portfolio below. Curious mainly on the Vanguard ETFs and Capital Group American Funds on if those are the best long-term places to invest that money. I invested all a few years ago when I really had no idea about anything! Also, large chunk in HYSA as I was/am saving for a down payment but prob not for another 3 years. If anyone has a better short term idea on where to store that - I'm all ears. Currently getting 5% on HYSA thru Wealthfront. Finances: In HYSA - $105,000 Investments Roth IRA - maxed out this year CD until Aug '24 - $11,500 401k - $7,800 - putting in $500/bi-weekly Simple IRA (thru another employer) - $4,500 Charles Schwab - $21,500 Individual Stock Portfolio - $13,000 VONV - $220 VOO - $450 VCR - $2,500 Other ETFs - $5,680 Capital Group American Funds ($43,000) Fundamental Investors - $13,000 Growth Fund of America - $14,500 Income Fund of America - $15,000
If you're trying to make a criticism that the old algorithm doesn't apply because it tracks prices of items irrelevant to modern day consumers, try again. Measuring the price of VCR's, floppy disks, and typewriters, might as well be the same as measuring the price of Blu-Ray's, HDD's, and mechanical keyboards. Of which, blu-rays and mechanical keyboards absolutely have shot up in price over the past decade, for the record. Oh. Wait. The modern algorithm doesn't track those, because the modern algorithm is designed to exclude *literally anything* that actually tracks with cost of living increases, so that the government can point and say "see we're doing good".
A Fuzzy Panda managed to eliminate $5 billion in market cap for a stock in the S&P 500 in just a few hours. A 🌈🐻 pawned his VCR for $5 today. They are not the same.
VCR Rewinders. That shit will stage a massive come back. It’d be cool to have some shaped like Teslas. Elon needs that now. 
whats the next big thing? Metaverse real estate? Space? Robot slaves? More comfortable clothes? Stronger weed? VCR rewinders? Quantum computers? Brain enhancing drugs? Weight loss drugs? Weight gain drugs? Flying cars?
Yeah the same people who couldn't program their own VCR 20 years ago, have hired a couple millennials that bridge the gap between modern technology and at least some familiarity with dinosaur tech.
37 year old millennial looking for advice on a recent CD that matured. I recently had a 1 year CD mature, should I reinvest into another CD for 5.45% for 1 year or should I put it all in VOO? I will not need this money any time soon so I don't mind locking up into a CD it necessary. I have about 25k in my Schwalb account in VOO, VCR, VXUS, Apple, Amazon, Waste Management, ADP, ET, Coke, and CIM.
Realistically Musk might be the last person fighting for humanity against Skynet 🤣 and they are calling it a VCR.
VOO is becoming more dominated by mega-cap tech. Going 100% VOO is an extremely aggressive move, and many investors ignore this risk to their peril. Balancing out a smaller position in VOO with less volatile sectors, like VDC (consumer staples), VCR (consumer discretionary), VDE (energy), and VFH (financials) will result in a safer, more stable portfolio that will not crash if the megacap techs come back to earth.
The mention of empires built within Google reminds me of the demise of RCA. They had the tech to put out video disk players as far back as the early 1950s. However, due to misguided leadership, internal political squabbles, and feuds between departments, the tech was fumbled over and over until they finally released it... just in time to compete with the VCR. The company that was the face of consumer technology faded out of existence. Google though has built themselves as a service company. There are processes and infrastructure that rely heavily on their servers, software, and integration, not to mention that every one of their users is an additional product to be sold (data). I don't think Google could go the way of RCA, though they might go the way of IBM, identifying their most profitable activities and paring away everything else, becoming less of a household name and more of the infrastructure behind everything.
Personally, I always recommend "The Millionaire Next Door". I find that most people struggle today with things like conspicuous consumption (keepin' up with the Jones's). They move out of their well-to-do parent's house and they think they have to continue to maintain their standard of living, which is absolutely ridiculous. Just like young folks today, 25 years ago wasn't any easier, contrary to what everyone will tell you. To be honest, individuals in their 20s have struggled in basically every single generation. It's just how it works. It isn't until you establish yourself, do things start to fall into place. But people in their 20s today, think they are entitled to everything they were receiving from their parents before they moved out. They still think they need their Starbucks, or their brand new Iphone. Their new wardrobe, and their Smartwatch. I didn't have brand-new anything when I moved out, and I couldn't afford new if I wanted to. Even my parents (boomers) struggled in their early years. It's completely normal. I didn't have shit when I moved out. My TV/VCR combo sat on an entertainment system made of cinder blocks and 2x4s. I couldn't afford cable, so I had to get my TV through the air (antenna). I ate ramen noodles and hot dogs for about 3 years straight. Any young person who claims I had it easier 25 years ago can literally go fuck themselves. The key to building wealth is to live well below your means and invest the difference. You can't build wealth if you live paycheck to paycheck. Often young people who come up to me and ask how I did all this on a modest income with a high school education. I find it amusing that this 23 year old is leasing a $70,000 truck while I'm still driving a 2014 Mirage Hatchback I bought new for $12,000. They get the newest most expensive phone every year while I use my modestly priced phones for several years. They wear clothes that are newer than mine, and even their midtown apartment has more square footage than my entire home. I'm almost 45 years old, and 20-year olds are trying to live more lavish lifestyles than I am today (and I'm the fucking millionaire!!), and they wonder why they can't make ends meet. You can't claim you're "scrapin' the bottom of the barrel" when you are driving a 2 year old Camry and hanging out at the club every other weekend. I could only go out with friends maybe a few times a year when I was their age. So, I know it's the ol' cliche avocado toast argument, but seriously, people today think your 20s should be a cakewalk. They are wrong, it isn't supposed to be easy. But, anywho, I'm ranting now, so I'll digress. You have to change your mindset. You have to differentiate between a "want" and an actual "need". You have to realize, you are not supposed to maintain the lifestyle you did in high school when you move out on your own. The book I'm recommending will help you change your mindset. That has to be done first and foremost before you do any kind of investing. If I can throw on a faded t-shirt I've worn since high school, you can do the same. It's just a shirt dude, and no one really cares what it used to say. So, that's the book I recommend to individuals that I mentor. The numbers in the book are slightly dated, but the concepts are still mind-numbingly accurate in today's economy. If you looked at me and my lifestyle you would have no clue I was a millionaire. I just look like your average dude living your average lifestyle. And that's literally the point of the book. Most millionaires you'll ever meet are just average dudes living average lives. You've probably met dozens of millionaires and just didn't know it. Perhaps even the guy right next door to you is a millionaire. After all, believe it or not, most millionaires don't lease $70,000 trucks. The Millionaire Next Door. It's an easy read and literally a road map to how I did it.
My Roth is just Etf's VGT = 80% and VGR and VCR the remaining 20%. Around late 2023 I added a few shares of AMZN and META in it. My personal investment account is the one with my own portfolio of select stocks. My advice for someone new is to just go with ETFs or Target-date funds. I am strongly against picking your own stocks if you are not well-versed and or interested in reading a companies earnings report, future growth etc. Also you need to have strong temperament once you start picking your stocks - this one is learned after years of experience and going through multiple market downturns. In my case I started with just ETFs, contributing to it regularly and kept on reading and listening on how to pick stocks and value a company as years went on.. I did not start picking my own stocks until about 2 to 3 years from the time i started to study about it. And once you get to the point you are comfortable to pick your own stocks, stick with what you know well and with solid wide-moat companies. This sub-reddit helped me get better informed too. No coincidence i got better once i became active in here and just absorbing knowledge from others.
This is the first movie I ever taped on a VCR when my parents weren't home so I could pause it at the exact moment Jamie Lee Curtis reveals herself! God things were so different back then these kids have no idea how hard it was to explain an unlabeled VHS tape lol
I thought the Iron Man HUD reference would illustrate the point. It's meant to be a computer, and the visual interface is not restricted to a computer monitor. So the Vision Pro is the VCR, and Master Chiefs helmet BluRay, and after that maybe our great-grandchildren will have computer eyeball implants.
The pixel density per eye is impressive enough alone. Yeah, it's not for everyone, but it's not trying to be a VR headset. Think VCR generation of the HUD in Iron Mans suit.
Watching VCR movies 🍿🤡
I bought a VCR and noticed all the older tvs on there too lmfaooooooo
My 401k's past 10 year performance was 10.7% /year. That included the major dips in 2020 and 2022/2023. I have mutual fund version of VOOG and VGT, and i had VNQ, VDC, VCR once during those period. You say your region's property value increases 15% annually, then it is better than market could give you.
George Carlin - We like war! We're a war-like people! We like war because we're good at it! You know why we're good at it? Cause we get a lot of practice. This country's only 200 years old and already, we've had 10 major wars. We average a major war every 20 years in this country so we're good at it! And it's a good thing we are; we're not very good at anything else anymore! Huh? Can't build a decent car, can't make a TV set or a VCR worth a fuck, got no steel industry left, can't educate our young people, can't get health care to our old people, but we can bomb the shit out of your country all right! Huh? Especially if your country is full of brown people; oh we like that don't we? That's our hobby! That's our new job in the world: bombing brown people. Iraq, Panama, Grenada, Libya, you got some brown people in your country, tell them to watch the fuck out or we'll goddamn bomb them! Well when's the last white people you can remember that we bombed? Can you remember the last white--- can you remember ANY white people we've ever bombed? The Germans, those are the only ones and that's only because they were trying to cut in on our action. They wanted to dominate the world! BULLSHIT! THAT'S OUR FUCKING JOB!

What are you using? I loved Ameritrade - made options buying simple and always listed IV. Schwab bakes buying options look like programming a VCR
>Coinbase analogized [sic] it to beanie babies [How else would you explain it to this woman? Do you think Janet can program her VCR?](https://images.app.goo.gl/pvb2BcyDVeWYm5ht6)
How is it that every electronics brand in the past could make their own VCR, TV, CD player, radio, hair dryer, alarm clock, etc, which were essentially the same technology?
Their VCR is blinking 12:00 to this day
Incompetence knows no age. Back in the day, I bet they still couldn't even operate a VCR.
Yeah so, these regards don't understand physics You'll have a better chance of teaching a Reese's monkey to program a VCR then teach these degens about the BTC network or protocol
Liz Warren doesn’t understand tech. Her VCR blinks 12:00.
I hope you didn’t put too much in, but it’s not a lesson. There are small stocks with big potential if VCR beats out Beta. I take on a few of these gambles every year. Virgin Orbit busted, but Palantir is playing out. You just don’t know. Small portions in a big gamble can pay nicely later on. Here’s a few more ASTS, IONQ, AI, QS, SPCE, LNTH, AEHR. Small positions less than $1000 each. I expect 50% to go bust and another 25% to flounder. I only need one to be my 100 bagger.
Gary Gendler is still using a VCR. It’s also flashing 00:00.
prediction - SQ keeps rising while paypal craters to the mid 40s, then 30's, then to IPO Price. SQ stock will have same market cap as Paypal soon. Paypal is Sears paypal is BABA Paypal is Khols with old people shopping in a dead mall Paypal is dusting off your VCR Paypal is Blockbuster get out GET OUT. this stock will show SHARP drop revenue soon. its a flegging bet. a grand illusion. a hail mary save by the new CEO. Paypal is a nice piece of white fish eaten an an old folks home Paypal is metamucal to aid in fiber digestion Paypal is sitting on your 70's furniture for a nice episode of matlock

They are completely different. I don't see any draw in VDC. VCR is 40% AMZN and TSLA, but lots of other strong performers including MELI and BKNG. I'd certainly choose VCR over VDC today.
Done, I’m more confused between VCR and VDC
Need help reducing my Growth and diversification portfolio of ETFs, VOO,IJH,IJR,IXUS,SOXX,VGT,SCHD,VCR,VDC. I wanna make it 6 or 7 but can’t decide which ones to let go or any other alternative. Any suggestions please

Damn, a whole VCR? I don't even own a VCR nowadays. 😢
