Dude's too stupid to realize the self own.,

The line between satire and reality is gone since these weirdos came on the scene. https://theonion.com/gifted-khashoggi-head-mounted-in-oval-office/ https://theonion.com/rfk-jr-the-president-having-sex-with-children-is-fine-from-a-purely-nutritional-standpoint/ https://theonion.com/trump-imposes-100-tax-on-movies-where-slaves-escape/

You'll never convince the cult members with facts. They are only swayed by manipulating their emotions. Give them a new savior to worship and an imaginary foe.

Finally renewed with Progressive. Went over and got quotes from Liberty (great online application experience, easy to see updated pricing with coverage changes, but higher quote), and GEICO (abysmal online application experience and higher quote for less coverage). Ted may have hit the exits with a profit for the business but he ran off a lot of good risk and left a terrible online framework that I'd be willing to bet gets a lot of bounces mid quote. Progressive is gonna continue to smoke them.

Love Gzero World!

I'd say you can't make this stuff up, but apparently you can. https://www.whitehouse.gov/j6/

Novo Nordisk, Nintendo, Dominos and Berkshire

Time to renew my auto policy and Progressive is jacking up their rate by 30ish%, pretty much matching a GEICO quote. I've been getting mailers from GEICO since last month (before I learned about the increase at Progressive). Gonna shop around and likely stay with Progressive unless something better comes up. GEICO would be my last choice.

Mission accomplished. Nobody's talking about trump being a pedo any more.

Increased frequency of Omaha office parties coupled with rising Coca Cola costs. These were somewhat offset by switching from McDonalds to Dominos pizza, but ultimately, inflation hit soft drinks and snacks hard.

We also never would've heard about Harry Bottle and the investment philosophies he inspired in Uncle Warren. https://www.kingswell.io/p/the-lessons-of-a-lousy-business Does anyone have a link to more on Harry Bottle? I can't find anything on him pre or post Dempster.

Ignore him. He'll go back to worshipping his golden trump idol.

Buffett derangement syndrome? edit: misspelled Buffett as Buffet

Absolutely, unless they're celebrity politicians. In which case, feel free to create a cult of personality while ignoring weird behavior and criminal activity.

I've learned more about Novo Nordisk in the past year than I ever knew back in 2016. This new found knowledge may or may not equate to similar gains but I'm hopeful. The pipeline is important to watch but if you can't scale production of what you've developed (at a good margin), it's no good. We also re-learned that science projects will be incubated at the Foundation until they're commercially viable.

No way, I'm probably more laggardly than you are. We both own NVO so misery loves company, right?

Of all the tools at our disposal, behavior is arguably the most important. The best hammer ain't worth a shit if you keep banging your thumbs.

Fidelity says I got 7.95% for the year and 51.1% for the past 3 years. I have no idea how they arrive at these measures. I just look at how much my accounts are worth and know that amazingly enough, they're growing after meagre drawdowns. I've never done a backtest before but ran one this morning with Portfolio Visualizer on my current portfolio. I'm not really sure how to use these. I know past performance is not an indicator of future returns but...

Kicking, Screaming Warren Buffett Dragged From Caesars Palace After Losing Everything At Roulette Wheel

Warren lets Rebecca Jarvis examine his wad. Rebecca: How much you got? Warren: Four or five hundred dollars. Rebecca: I wanna see. Warren: Most women do.

You and I look at this strategy the same way. Sell a put on something I already own and would be happy either getting assigned more shares or keeping the premium. I recognize when I'm doing this my logic may be flawed, but I don't go to casinos so I have to get my thrills where I can.
