A pox on them all! Pls hold on to your cash, inflation aside. I’ve already been approached by all my low-skilled maintenance companies with a 25% increase and frankly, I feel helpless to negotiate thanks to the Democrat party. There will always be clients who will happily pay more for less and yes, I don’t feel like taking on the responsibilities for which I already pay a high premium.
I’ve worked hard to be where I am in this time of life and I resent that now I’m playing D instead of O.
One more comment about something I refuse to discuss in public but I am so verklempt right now, I am going to break the Golden Rule of Silence. I made $300 a share on Generac stock but was astute enough to get out of it yesterday. I love the product because I live in hurricane country and bought a big unit when I built a new house. I’ve lived through three hurricanes without one and it wasn’t fun.
Just had the tank filled up for the next year- the fuel cost me $1500 vs. $900 the year before. The stock dropped $40 dollars per share last week.
Coincidence?

They don’t necessarily legislate the Marxist schemes but they surely aid and abet so I must agree with you.

I recommend (for the typical investor) taking profits and sitting on the sidelines for a while. This slow cultural march towards self-annihilation can not possibly go on forever, can it?

I completely agree and have done just that with my growth stocks. Leaving dividend stocks alone for now.

WheelTug (WT) was supposed to begin paying out dividend checks 4-5 years ago. Tick-foxtrotting-Tock and nothing now but crickets on that front while WT’s CEO and chief rabbi teaches his L1 flock the Torah.
These are the things I do not understand about people.

He’s not making any money; this can happen on NASDAQ as well when a dividend-paying company goes under. So sorry he isn’t public so you could sell the stock.

I know but then why does he tell potential investors 2-3 years until dividends?
Answer: Because know one would invest if Rabbi says, “I have no idea if or when there will be profits shared with my shareholders.”

I think he is selling his soul for Chinese investors now. Not sure as comms are poor, at best, with Rabbi.
