Fund Managers (aka thieves) fail to beat the market. Day traders do it all the time. Different universes.

In a time when fundamentals mean nothing, sentiment analysis and technical trading are entirely possible.

Well, yes, but you are making a different analysis here. Everyone from Ray Dalio on-down says never be 100% in, because you won’t be able to take advantage of an opportunity. You are comparing the fluctuation of the market to the ability to snap up an undervalued stock (or market). In your scenario, the 20% drop could…

True, but right now I am 30% cash equivalents. This lets you take advantange of the the continued Bull with plenty of cash to bargain hunt when the time is right.

Seriously. $25 million a year? I would do that _forever_ I don’t care if anyone thinks I am a hack. Feel free to insult me, its hard to hear you over my private jet’s engines anyway.

Literally better than anything Post Malone as ever put out. 

And you can get a Camry for a lot less than a Lexus ES, but what is your point? The day-to-day experience is very different. 

States have been cracking down on this. Technically, I think you can only have an out-of-state vehicle for 14 days before you are supposed to register it in that state. There have been a couple of high-profile cases in California and Texas where owners were registering their cars in Montana but were driving them in…

Actual LOL. 

I think you are missing the point. No one is suggesting scooters as a method of commuting to work. Scooter can serve a purpose, once you are at work, or as a “last mile” tool after you get off the bus/train/carpool. 

If you have somewhere to lock it. Most downtown offices dont. That is even if you are within biking distance at all. 

The 2001 S10 I have cost $8,999 off the lot in 2001. That would be $12,805.21 in 2018 dollars. Granted, mine is 4 cylinder 5 speed. But even with an auto and the better engines and safety of modern trucks, I don’t see why we can’t have $15k small trucks.  

I know. I just don’t like it. In fact, I don’t really understand it. $12K-$15k little trucks were worked TO DEATH when they were around. I am surprised they don’t exist for small businesses alone. I get the CAFE issues, but maybe electric versions will bring them back? 

Agreed. I think your assessment is correct, but the speculators that purchased these for north of $400k will never make money on them vs just dumping it in the stock market. I am fine with that. 

In my comment, I mentioned that enforcement is a necessity. We need that. Think, for a moment, about US traffic VS traffic in Dehli. Is it the cars fault or enforcement of rules that matter?

They hype around this was it was the “last” of the high-end manuals. Now that it isn’t, it is no longer special. I am sure it will hold its value, but I don’t see this one topping the manual GT3/RS, long-term for appreciation.

Whoops, yep. Mazda. Because of a family business and careless employees, we had Mazda, 2 Isuzus and an S10 in quick succession. 

Agreed. 

I was just looking at the picture in the post. It was as-specd 

$42k grand for a small pickup truck? No thanks.
