  1. @LongHaulsent you a private msg. I know a group down there that's looking currently
  2. Does anyone know of a crpyto brokerage where you can open accounts for minors? Not looking for the minors to have access and trade - looking for a custodial, where I can gift cash to a child and purchase crypto on their behalf with it
  3. I actually think that your logic is one of the reasons that US investors, to their detriment, will be later to the game than many others around the world. If you live in Argentina, Venezuela, South Africa, Iran, etc... then monetary debasement is not a philosophical issue, and you are probably certainly willing to take small positions in any assets that potentially have the ability to hedge that risk. On this point, there is nothing that says you need to buy 1 bitcoin at a minimum. You can buy very tiny fractions worth of one bitcoin. And I think while that's already been happening, the introduction of bitcoin purchases on highly mainstream financial companies like Paypal and Square will only make this more common place. So I would agree that if a young person only had 15,400 of dsicretionary spending this year, they'd be better off learning to code than they would be buying a bitcoin. But they might be best off spending 15,000 learning to code and buying 400 in bitcoin.
  4. What industry is the company in and what are they selling?
  5. Thank you! The issue was that arrow in the top right corner!
  6. Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere already, but is anyone else's search function on COBF no longer showing up? At some point, the search box just seems to have disappeared from the page.
  7. Where was the mega Kroger? Was it under any specific branding indicating its a better than normal kroger?
  8. I know that people want to believe that Warren and Charlie only invest in morally impeccable businesses, but between DVA, HCG, and this... Just like anyone else, a good deal is the overriding concern.
  9. Agree 100% when these sort of people are getting excited about stocks or real estate, or other assets they can speculate on, which have a maximum intrinsic value... the one difference here is that bitcoin has positive network effects, so hysteria/speculation can actually end up increasing their intrinsic value
  10. There are lawyers that specialize in reducing your real estate tax. Typically work on commission based on savings. That is your best option-- don't have to deal with the bureaucracy, and they also already know all the people involved, so they're more successful.
  11. I know nothing about timeshares, and wasn't even aware that they're difficult to get out of, but I heard an ad on the radio today for thetimeshareexitattorneys.com which seems like a law firm dedicated to this issue (although they're advertising on the radio, so wouldn't be surprised if they were somewhat scammy too...)
  12. ....for $17.80 per share in preferred units of Steel Partners
  13. I would suggest that you contact a lawyer that specializes in reducing real estate taxes. I know some people that have used these services very successfully in the past
  14. I think there's no question that if you are in the market for an electric car, there is no better option than a Tesla. Performance and design, of the Model S a least, are top notch. The people I know with Teslas absolutely have the feeling a 'certain way' that you describe, and it's a very interesting marketing effect that is more about the founder's charisma than it is about the actual quality of the product. Regarding the iPod, though, I think itunes was one of the things pretty early on that got Apple's ecosystem going, and in my opinion, it was/is the ecosystem that was responsible for a lot of the customer stickiness. I wonder if Tesla has anything like that which might get its consumers to come back. In that class of vehicle, I would imagine that customers are typically upgrading on a 3 year cycle. I don't see any other viable luxury alternatives at the moment for those people to switch to in the next year or two, but longer term, if the known luxury brands have a very good alternative, I don't know if Musk's charisma will be enough to keep customers from switching to an excellent Mercedes electric vehicle...
