I literally just happened to see this. I commute 100 miles a day. Guess I cannot go to work today unless you guys tell me this is safe.
I did not recently hit a curb as far as I can remember but I am guessing this is my fault for taking turns too fast. I am an idiot
I keep hearing that the US has lost its deterrence and superiority against China and that Xi is looking to take over Taiwan especially after seeing US-Iran war.
How much would this impact stocks and index funds like VT? I have a big (to me) chunk of cash I want to put into the market but I am worried it will go down as soon as I put it in. With TSMC chips being so central to AI and index funds like VTI, VT being concentrated in and elevated by AI right now, is there an investment with which one can hedge against this possibility ?
As someone who grew up in a culture and family who was fearful of stocks and was told you cannot create something from nothing, I have always been skeptical of stock market and did not invest like I should have. Graduating around 2008 crisis also colored my perception. Now I have a bunch of savings that are just sitting in cash but I am afraid to buy stocks because the market seems so risky. And yet every day the market just keeps going up and people who were not worried and just bought stocks keep getting richer and richer. Is the stock market an infinite money glitch ? Where does this new money come from ?
