Markets not happy about a potential shutdown. Could see an opportunity to buy low.

Seems like an overreaction since fewer departments will shutdown than before. Interior, commerce, ag, and others all have funding bills in place.

Enjoyed it today as well

And today is a different day for MSFT…

I’m in for the SOAL

I am not familiar with SPIA, I'm assuming it's an annuity.
The ONLY Annuity I would even consider is from one of the low cost/ low commission providers like Vanguard.

I have a couple buddies that sell those annuities and the hidden commission on those is outrageous. Read the fine print on early withdrawals- brutal.

That said, I can see where it makes sense for a retired person locking in a guaranteed payout...as long as its truly guaranteed.

I just picked up one share of MSFT at $423 (EDIT: also added a second share to my Roth) and 2 shares of MSTR at $140. The MSFT drop seems like an overreaction for a MAG 7 name, but what do I know. 2 shares of MSTR is just speculation, honestly, it's at the 52 week low.

More broadly, I finally got off the sidelines with my TSP a few days ago, it had been 100% in G Fund for a long enough time that I'm embarrassed to say. Kept 50% in G for now considering most indices are at/near ATHs, but I put 20% in C, 15% in S, 15% in I.

Do any of you all follow Jim Cramer?

I have seen some terrible advice from that clown over the years...not to mention his claims of great profits when he was a hedge fund guy have been Rebutted by many.

Jim Cramer Calls the NVIDIA Deal a “Fantastic Verification for CoreWeave”​

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jim-cramer-calls-nvidia-deal-175216754.html
that from insider monkey picked up on Yahoo. CRWV is down almost 9% in one day. Good call Jim you idiot.

Be careful where you get your financial advice, I'm not the only one who thinks Cramer is an idiot. In fact, my son told me he was following a reddit thing that was the reverse of Cramer for awhile and it was doing better than his recommendations.

Potential merger between spaceX and Xai. This would give Tesla holders exposure to SpaceX. Tesla earnings from yesterday indicates Tesla invested $2 billion into Xai.

I am purchasing this through Fidelity. SPIA is Single premium income annuity. There are no hidden fees, I am going to give them 1 million dollars in exchange for an insurance contract to provide me with $5076 a month for the rest of my life and my wife's life. If we die inside of the next 25 years the children will recieve the payments for the remainder of the guarantee period of 25 years. There is no with withdraws in the future, I have traded a lump sum for a guaranteed income stream. This annuity is through USAA and sold to me by Fidelity.

MSFT had a 50 BILLION dollar quarter. That's insane, adding more

Right? Adding as much as I possibly can right now.
