I wouldn’t call all of these investment tips but you do make some good points here. It doesn’t cost you anything to get on the internet and read and read some more. Go on YouTube and watch videos to educate yourself. Etc. I mean technically it costs you the price of your internet service , but that’s sort of besides the point.
I would caution though though that you make sure you research who’s giving the advice. Lot of people giving advice that shouldn’t be.

As a financial advisor this is something I preach religiously. It’s so important for people to establish Wills that are constantly updated. Even simple things like not having a beneficiaries listed on peoples retirement plan accounts like 401ks etc I see all the time.
It just comes down to laziness unfortunately. People need to stop being lazy and spend a few hours to protect your assets for life and after life “control from the grave” we call it.

You’re all tripping about Dwight Howard. He was forced out of the league because of his sideline and locker on behavior, not because he stopped being an elite center. He’s getting older sure, but he’s still a top 10 center in the league.
Portland trying to force Damian Lillard to training camp. I’m sure he’ll cooperate, but it’s not a good look. Haven’t heard much about the Harden drama lately.
I dunno man, Dwight is not nearly the player he use to be and he center position is not the way it use to be either (but of course you obviously know this). I agree he could probably be playing in the league still, but I don’t think at a very high level and his shenanigans just aren’t worth it. If he was good enough they would put up with it. |

1. Set your bet unit and stick to it This is a good strategy if you’re starting out with a large bankroll. If you start your sports betting career with $5,000, you may want to stick with a unit. Then you begin to slowly build your bankroll by sticking to a unit bet. We determine our unit bet based on our risk tolerance. The more tolerance for risk, the more we bet. If you’re risk averse, keep your bet unit to a minimum. Sports betting is possible 365 days out of the year. So there’s no reason to cause unwarranted stress. 2. Bet a percentage of your bankroll and decrease when you reach a goal If you start with a smaller bankroll, consider betting a percentage up to a goal. For example, let’s say you start with $300. You bet 20% of your bankroll up until you reach around $1,000. Then, you lower your bet percentage from 20% to 15%. Once you reach $2,000, a huge accomplishment if you started with $300, lower your percentage to 10%. If you’re not risk averse, keep it at 15%. Think of the percentage as the dividends you are making on your sports betting stock portfolio. Doing so allows you to see sports betting in a different light, an investment point of view instead of a gambling point of view. 3. Go against the public You won’t always win going against the public. You will make smarter bets in the long run if you always lean towards going against the public. By lean, we mean handicapping public choices fully. The public is usually wrong. The public also loves to back chalk. So going against the public in many cases leads to better payouts and plays that have a much better chance of winning. Read more→ https://n2g.io/6e46e60I agree with this to some extent but number three I’m not sure I agree with at all. Often times the public gambles a certain way because it is the most likely outcome. Of course when betting against the public when it comes to sports betting you can get better odds/payouts , but then your changes of winning aren’t as high so it’s much riskier. |

Cooper Kupp was certainly not no.1 pick in my draft. I drafred him in the 4th round, I reckon.
In any case, you are right! I will play this and get as much points as this horrible team can get and try to get in the playoffs hehehe.
You cancelled the trade offer, but to be honest I would not have traded the Rams #1 WR for a backup RB. Sure Kupp may come back but it’s not looking good or likely. We’ve not heard any updates about his injury which is really telling. This games tonight is surprising really interesting, I expected it to be a complete blow out by the niners. |

I'm a financial advisor and have been for close to 20 years now. I have worked with most all of the major finance companies/banks and I've seen how they operate from within. The worlds two largest banks (Chase and Bank of America) are corrupt as all sin. Just take a look at the Chase fraud violation tracker https://violationtracker.goodjobsfirst.org/parent/jpmorgan-chase (nearly 40 BILLION in fraud since the year 2000). So knowing how corrupt these big banks are, it was a natural lead in to bitcoin, and it's decentralized nature can help fix this , or at least make money better. I studied bitcoin for an entire year before I ever bought any. I bought it because I fell in love with the technology...not trying to "get rich quick" by any means. I wish more people focused on that and less about "profits". Theymos should ban the word "profits" here on the forum lol. I'm so sick of that being the majority of peoples "goal" with bitcoin. It's technically NOT investment, it's digital currency. |

I have been thinking and trying to analyze what is really causing the high cost of food in Nigeria, I came to realize that monopoly is the major factors, Nigeria government are the enablers. How can one person be the sole major distributor, government should welcome competition in the business sector, every business person should be allowed to produce.
I am not going to lie and act like I understand that politics of Nigeria, but I do know it's a very corrupt nation which is sad because it's also an emerging economy with a ton of people but it seems corruption holds back it's potential progress a good bit. But here's the thing that is similar in the US. Food companies in private get together and set market prices...ie manipulation. Now we do have monopoly laws here in the US, but they only help so much. Food prices just like healthcare prices here in the US are just pure BS. |

I don't think it's any different for women than it is men. I can tell you though as a financial advisor that more men gamble than women because men tend to be more reckless with their finances that women overall (20 years of experience backing that claim up). Women like winning money just the same as men do. Also they enjoy the same benefits of it being a fun social event. My x-gf loved going to the casino. It was a fun thing for us to do, get dressed up and go hit the casinos, just something different than your average evening.

I am sick to my stomach this morning. I have the absolute worst luck when it comes to injuries in fantasy football. I am in 5 different leagues and have Nick Chubb in 3 of those leagues. That is an absolute blow to all my teams. I mean why does it have to happen in week freaking 2. Ugh 😩
Yeah brutal. Fantasy football always does this, I've always said there is a large amount of luck to it. Obviously you can recover but it makes it difficult and some sleepers have to hit big. On a real note that injury was o.e of the worst I've ever seen in terms of body parts bending how they shouldn't. I don't know how easy that's gon a be able to recover from. Man it FUCKED my entire FF season, in week mf two  . I think the lesson here is "diversify yo bonds" -wu tang. I shouldn't have taken him in 3 of 5 leagues lol. I should have drafted CMC in this forum league when I had the first pick, but I just believed in Chubb so much and his lack of injury history like CMC has, plus he was far and away their best player/focal point. He was primed for a MASSIVE year. fuck fuck and fuck lol. In our other league Wheelz I also drafted G Wilson who took a massive hit losing Rodgers. I do have Kamara in most leagues, and got Kyren Williams in another league who looks primed...but Chubb tied everything together , like the Dude's rug (fucking nihilists  ) |

There's absolutely nothing wrong with gambling in front of your kids. The whole key is being a good parent and teaching proper manners/values/right from wrong etc. My dad loved gambling. He went to Vegas 2-3 times a year, and the local gambling "boat" by where we lived once a month at least. My father was extremely successful in life. He was a degenerate by any means and he typically did quite well gambling. But he taught us to be careful, to study before gambling (he read countless blackjack books) etc. He taught me little life lessons that stick in my head to this day and I lost him when I was 15. It's all about how you parent/teach your children. Nothing wrong with gambling around kids, nothing, as long as you teach them to do it properly.

I am amazed at how much many people in other countries (outside of the United States) are taxed on certain things like this. For example Europe has VAT taxes. Just to be able to receive stuff like silver and gold coins, countries in Europe/India etc charge anywhere up to 40% of the cost of the actual item. To me this is absolutely criminal.
People need to vote out politicians who support this crazy overseas shipping taxes. It's not right.

The problem is most people don't use bitcoin for payments. I see bitcoin as an electronic payment system. Most people see bitcoin as a way to make money, an investment, including banks. I don't think that bitcoin could ever be banned thanks to it's decentralized nature and decentralized exchanges or OTC (over the counter) trades, but the more banks get on board the better the adoption rate will be.
We need to use bitcoin as payments, I can't stress this enough!

I completely agree. Gambling has a negative connotation in a lot of peoples minds as it can lead to addiction, but the average person can gamble and keep things under wraps, so to speak.
Here in the state of Illinois, we have legalized gambling in a big way, and continue to loosen gambling laws and it's helping out state tremendously as we are broke. I think it's a huge positive !

I have never had a relationship where my significant other had an issue with my gambling “habits”. Now I can certainly understand where it could become an issue for couples or relationships in where it affects the relationship as one could be dragging down their finances. Especially if someone has a gamble disease.
Luckily it’s not been an issue for me but I know it is for many people.

Thanks to a renowned forum member, I've re-learnt how to paste pic on the forum.
The official website of www.titanbtc.com has become a student loan site. What the fuck!  Someone reported this happening some time ago. I want to say a few weeks backs. I wonder what this means exactly, or why he would have either let the web address lapse, or if it was sold? I’ve heard that there was a third webinar recently. Did anyone attend or able to provide some knowledge on it? Would be much appreciated. |

Next year we should move to the Sleeper platform. I’m telling y’all it’s the best FF platform now hands down. ESPN once upon a time was the best. At this time Yahoo was absolutely garbage. Then Yahoo started getting better and ESPN started to go down hill. Now I would probably say ESPN is better (which I’ve been very vocal about ESPN sucking for quite some time). Yahoo is now filled with bugs and just going down hill. Sleeper on the other hand continues to improve almost daily. They are all about doing what the FF community wants, and have been very open to suggestions. From the draft set up, to the information they provide, I’m telling y’all Sleeper is where it’s at now. People are always so resistant to change, and I understand that, but let’s just take the year to think it over ? I will probably make some sort of post write up explaining Sleeper in better detail and show some side by side comparisons to it vs ESPN & Yahoo. @Hueristic you complaining a bit about Yahoo and how they didn’t update the Kupp injury which kinda screwed you was what triggered me to make this write up. I really think you guys will love Sleeper. Anyway..I’m happy to go w the flow of what the league wants as a whole, just a suggestion. Everyone enjoy your weekend and see you on the battle fields tomorrow!  |

Some PK versions were never funded. People keep getting this wrong. I believe once you verify the address however you can always tell if this was the case. Just an FYI.

Honestly people tend to easily forget bad/scary/uncertain times when it comes to the economy as well as the stock market. This is something I speak about with my customers all of the time as an FA. I'm constantly hearing "I hear the economy is going to crash", and I've been hearing this every since I got in finance back in the early 2000's.
It's rare where we don't have this sort of "economic unease", so honestly I see today and these times no different that 10 years ago or 10 years ago before that. Simply prepare for the worst, hope for the best.
