Why do you think anyone would actually listen to a COBF trained LLM? There is no shortage of information out there: gurufocus, seeking alpha, value walk, etc. If anything, there is too much information. Those of us on this site value it, but the outside world is oblivious and will remain so. IMHO.

Is this why you repeatedly make a point of claiming so many people are stupid?

I've tried the same - doesn't work. It would be a useful add on, to quickly get up to speed. It would be great to even isolate certain themes (e.g., the evolution of Viking's thesis on fairfax in a thousand page thread).

What's the company? That matters because that some software companies are more likely to bounce back than others. And is this in a taxable or non-taxable account? If taxable, can you use the loss to offset other gains?

That doesn't sound like overwhelming booing to me.

Sorry, I have to strongly disagree - at his age, and given his general pessimistic nature, he shouldn't hold large amounts of cash waiting for opportunities. He's young and has 30-plus years of investing ahead of him. He should be 100% invested - markets end up ahead over any sort of timeline like that, usually by a very large amount. At his age, waiting around for great opportunities is just a form of market timing, a notoriously bad idea. For him, it's much better to just get in the market 100% and continue to DCA. This is even more true given his pessimistic nature, which is a huge handicap in the long-term investing game. But I've seen enough of his posts to realize that he thinks he knows better, that everyone who tells him this exact same message are dumber than him, and he won't listen.

Yep, your money is safer hidden under your mattress. It's the only way.

Even when the crash comes he won't invest since the headlines are scary and "it will crash further". How much did he invest in the 2020 crash?

Does the info above show the USA share of global GDP has increased from 2008 to 2025?

It's not that simple, Sweet. The USA hasn't declined it's share of global GDP.

He will think that the market has further to crash and will continue to horde his cash. Blake is Dunning-Kruger personified but he doesn't realize it and is too stubborn to learn. From the bottom of my heart, Blake - give up on trying to outsmart the market, and even give up on stock picking. Instead, just follow the Boggleheads / John Bogle approach: DCA into an index fund, ignore the news, and focus on your career instead. That's what Warren Buffett suggests for the average investor and you claim to love Buffett's advice. In 30 years, you'll be decently wealthy and you'll thank yourself.

He fucked this up majorly. Everyone agrees that Iran shouldn't have a nuclear bomb and anyone with half a brain knows that they are enriching uranium with that end in mind. But he didn't have the courage to truly commit with ground troops, or at least force the Israelis to be the ground troops in exchange for air support, etc..

Canada is officially in recession: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/recession-gdp-may-2026-statscan-9.7216352

I have a buddy who was buying up properties in Detroit for about $10K each, fixing them up and renting almost exclusively to military vets (something about Veteran Affairs guaranteeing the rent). He bought something like 100 houses.

Man, I have mixed feelings on this. I like the things you mention, but would also fear Orwellian misuses - people reporting Facebook posts, etc.
