YES....they "apparently" do. But what choice do they have....if they have to fund their own retirement with a 401K. AND....plants love electrolytes. Young People Like Stocks https://awealthofcommonsense.com/2026/06/young-people-like-stocks/ HERE....is the TRUTH that few realize today......until relatively recently very few people owned a stock or mutual fund. Probably pretty similar to what LORI is living with in England. ....."In the early-1950s just 4% of households owned stocks in any form. By the early-1980s it was just 19%. It wasn’t until the 1990s that things really took off in terms of the masses buying stocks.".....
WELL.....an OK open today...after a massive drop on Friday. We will see how things stand as the day progresses. Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq jump as chip stocks rebound, Iran and Israel exchange strikes https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/l...-june-8-dow-sp-500-nasdaq-jump-085310403.html
YES......there is NO recession and there is also NO stock market bubble. Although we do have MASSIVE HISTORIC levels of market manipulation....legal of course....as the AI TRADING PLATFORMS create the market they are trading. Scared of a stock market bubble?

WELL.....DUH. Unless you are simply a TRADER......or are NOT a long term investor. Nvidia CEO Says Selloff in Tech Stocks Is a Buying Opportunity https://finance.yahoo.com/sectors/technology/articles/nvidia-ceo-says-selloff-tech-030316239.html
i will be so happy to get past the next couple of weeks. We are going to be INUNDATED with SpaceX and their IPO all week this week. AND...than next week the coverage will be CONSUMED with analysis of how the IPO went.
It has been typical lately to have NO NEWS....during a typical investing day. TODAY......absolutely NOTHING going on at all. A total news vacuum.
Sounds pretty SMART to me. AND.....NO they are NOT "hoarding" anything. It is THEIR money they earned it and they saved it.....they can do whatever they want. I find much of the thinking and opinions in this little article very strange.....but....what else is new. ‘The golden years are not golden’: Boomers are hoarding most of America’s wealth and power because they’re terrified of outliving their money https://finance.yahoo.com/economy/articles/golden-years-not-golden-boomers-113000201.html
Let me whip out the worlds smallest violin. I actually see a lot of younger people...working hard and getting ahead...in the same way all generations have. BUT....the constant focus in the media is nothing but....WHINING. To continue the post above. A 23-Year-Old Living In Southern California Wants To Escape The High Cost Of Living, But Says, 'It Seems Like There Isn't Even Anywhere To Run' https://finance.yahoo.com/economy/articles/23-old-living-southern-california-190148747.html
HERE....is a REAL story of a person that worked hard and is now EARNING the rewards. In REALITY we are surrounded by people like this. The GUTS of the country and our economy. UPS driver goes viral after sharing his weekly paycheck https://finance.yahoo.com/economy/policy/articles/ups-driver-goes-viral-sharing-165602388.html
My stocks are looking pretty good in general today. Mostly GREEN. BUT....a couple are RED.....GOOGL and MSFT.
Nice. One notable thing in that story is the amount of TAXES....to the government. We are taxed to the high heavens in every aspect. What do we get out of it? Continual unbalanced budgets, government shutdowns every year, a deficit that will never, ever be remotely within reason, and more taxes. Think about all of the "taxes" we encounter. It is amazing how much money the government gets and squanders. It is the equivalent to a modern Sheriff of Nottingham. All that said, the best you can do is invest in yourself with a good career and just keep on keeping on. They are going to get their slice no matter what you do.
LOL. The financial media. I mean this is like going to a car lot stocked with new cars and asking a salesman if you should really buy a new car. What is he supposed to say? It would have been hilarious if he had replied "We are slowing down as expected and our investors should seriously consider taking some profit while they can." Sarcastically, of course. They would have broke the press and crashed the financial sites with that quote. The fact that they are reporting this as "news" is even more hilarious.
In the mid 90s, an extremely successful CMA told me that businesses are valued at 3~4x their annual profit. Imagine that metric today. SpaceX has never turned a profit and the market might value it at a trillion dollars. I used to like companies because they produced wealth through work. That point of view is obsolete. Buying stock in most companies is wealth redistribution, every bit as much as trading Bitcoin.
ANOTHER....3 chart article. BUT....I do agree. 3 charts that show markets haven’t hit peak FOMO yet https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/a...rkets-havent-hit-peak-fomo-yet-142710425.html ....."There is no doubt the market has entered a moment of adjustment. But this period could prove short-lived, as peak investor euphoria hasn't yet been reached. Moreover, corporate fundamentals — namely profits — remain solid and appear poised to stay this way for several more quarters at least."
There are a lot of interesting details out there about some of this little venture. Investors really need to do their research on all of the details and structure. Not just this particular offering, but any company one might consider placing their money towards. I'm gonna file a hard pass on this one, but that is just me.
I agree I am going to sit the SpaceX IPO out. My idea right now would be let the dust settle and maybe add some in my HSA and buy up a tiny amount each month.
WELL....today kind of FIZZLED after I quit watching this morning. I ended the day with only 3 GREEN stocks....NVDA, COST, and PLTR. I had a small gain in my stocks today. AND...they got beat by the SP500 by...0.13%. I did not have much expectation for today anyway...after last Friday. Moving on from here....at least it was a POSITIVE day.
I often wonder about this and if/when it eventually just becomes basically a pyramid scheme. With few options for the average person, and pensions disappearing, at what point is "just put you head down and keep sending DCA money into the plan" going to make everything overvalued? What is there to balance that out?
The BIG IPO's continue. OpenAI confidentially files IPO paperwork https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/article/openai-confidentially-files-ipo-paperwork-212841298.html
Taxes go up, but hardly ever do the deductions/write offs. I love the property tax scam, values have went up for many reasons, inflation included, YET the homestead exemption has never budged and I don't even think the average person in society realizes these things. All things like this should be tied to inflation, otherwise over times its a tax increase year after year.
