In the 1960s, the average stock holding period was ~8 years. Today? Around 5–6 months. Most people expect 6 years of gains in 6 months. Patience is the name of the game

A reminder that you didn’t outsmart the market. The market just went up. A rising tide makes everyone look like Buffett. The test is what happens when it goes down

If you're torn between paying off debt or investing, compare the interest rates. Your money should almost always go where the rate is highest, whether that’s compounding gains or cutting compounding losses.

Paying off US debt is like dealing with your credit card. At first, swiping feels fine, whether it’s for good or bad spending. But once it’s time to repay? That’s when the pain starts. We're in the spending phase now

Something tells me Trump won't actually TACO before the Aug 1 deadline. He’s heard that one too often and his ego’s too massive to let people bring it up again

Even wonder why mortgage rates follow the 10-year Treasury like a shadow? Because if the government pays 4.5% risk-free, banks won’t lend you money at 4% since it's riskier for them to lend to you.

Slowly but surely we're losing our status as the world reserve currency. There is a lot we get away with now that other countries can't because of our status

If Elon’s new party actually focuses on fiscal responsibility, expect cuts to benefits and higher taxes. Painful? Yes. But if we’re serious about tackling the debt, there’s no painless way out.

One of the biggest lies on YouTube: “Your net worth explodes after $100K.” There is no magic number. Charlie Munger said this in the early '90s. Adjusted for inflation, that’s closer to $200K+. Context matters. What is true is the more money you have the faster it grows.
