    I just opened a Roth IRA, and am ready to invest in the stock market

    I am sad that I can only like this post one time.

    Wait, wait, wait. Let's attack this from a different angle, which I shall name the Get off my lawn! edition. How many of these do you refuse to stop doing, ie how many of these do you still do to this day? Me: 5, 6 (on CD), 8, 11, 12, 13, 19, 20, 22. Anyone else?

    A snippet from today's edition of a financial newsletter that I receive: You're A...Dog? A pet DNA company's reliability has been called into question after it provided wildly inaccurate dog breed results...twice. Here's what happened: A human sent in their DNA to "DNA My Dog". Her DNA...

    Lightning is going to strike twice! To celebrate the film's 50th anniversary, Fathom Events is bringing Blazing Saddles back to theaters for two nights later this year--Sunday Sept 15th and Wednesday Sept 18th. Don't say I didn't give you enough advance notice this time...

    After a brief trip down that rabbit hole, I selected one (which was slightly different than the one pictured above) and placed an order.

    Dude, I absolutely NEED one of those, exactly like that. Tell me how much money and where to bring it, and I'll be there immediately. I am 100% serious.

    I just opened a Roth IRA, and am ready to invest in the stock market

    Thank you. I should have included that additional explanation in my response. Ah, target date funds. These are designed to be as 'hands-off' as possible, which is good... but many people (including myself) feel that they tend to be too conservative and thus result in less growth. If you have...

    I just opened a Roth IRA, and am ready to invest in the stock market

    I would suggest you do only one thing: find out where this money is going. Most retirement plans offer many choices for investing your contribution, and some of them are poorer choices than others. When they initially set up your retirement plan, it is common for an employer to arbitrarily...

    I just opened a Roth IRA, and am ready to invest in the stock market

    LOL. It can, depending on (a) what stocks you purchase and (b) what options your 401k provides. However, I will get right to the truth: the average stock buyer does very little research into corporate fundamentals, and as such the average stock buyer sees a significantly lesser return compared...

    My wife is a huge fan of Converse All Stars, and has been since high school. She owns 35+ pairs of them, each a different color so she can coordinate them with her outfit of the day (whatever that may be). Seeing the above, I downloaded the photo so I could post it on her FB page. Before I...

    I just opened a Roth IRA, and am ready to invest in the stock market

    At this exact moment, I am very pleased with NextEra Energy (NEE). They just announced a 10% dividend increase, and management just stated their resolve to continue at 10.0+% DGR <dividend growth rate> for at least the next few years. I am planning to significantly increase my wife's position in...

    Happy Valentines Day!

    It's a widely known fact that a 4.0L straight six could run on dirty pond water in a pinch. (I just got done filling my TJ's tank with Utah's meagerest octane offering.)

    Awesome. Let me know when you get to trying to start it (just in case it baffles you or anything).

    Anybody need/want any parts off a 2003 F-350 diesel truck?

    New update: The truck is still at his buddy's place in Roy, and my neighbor is (apparently) desperate to get it hauled off from there. He now tells me he'll take $1500 obo for the whole truck. If any of you are interested, my neighbor's name is Collin and his cell number is 385...
