Usually, yes.

A relatively safe investment still has risk. There are crashes, bear markets, and other situations where even a diverse portfolio of funds can lose value. Investments are not guaranteed in the way bank accounts or pensions are.

Usually, yes.

I wonder about that too. There have been a lot of posts glorifying betting the farm on big swings like this. One bragged about using their parent’s retirement money. It wouldn’t be the first time someone overleveraged and lost everything on the advice of r/WSB. I worry that many in the crowd are going to be burnt as…

The Genesis Sonic games still hold up quite well, and at least once a year I boot them up and run through them. The Sega AGES versions of Sonic 1 and 2 have both been a lot of fun to play as well.

That’s not something I ever spoke about? (Though your use of license is loose, so maybe you mean something else.) I was focusing on their being game IPs.

Everything in balance.

I love the Indiana Jones films. They have been embedded into my memory from a young age. I’ll sit down and watch any of the films. They are fun and witty, and they have one of the most winsome heroes in cinema and bad guys I love to hate.

You don’t wait for 1.28 pounds before eating your banana?
