    Intellectual Obesity

    Being able to explain something in a concise and clear manner is also a great way to determine if someone actually understands the subject too

    Investment Advice

    What type of advice are you looking for? If it is just cookie cutter allocations, which 90 percent plus of "professionals" will give, do a little leg work yourself and avoid the fee's that will massively handicap your performance long term.

    Starting my own business: Franchisee

    Just something to keep in mind. To really make something like this work and worthwhile you need to be committed to 5+ locations where you can afford an operations management team, achieve some economies of scale and do not have to do that day to day work yourself. If only doing 1 or 2 locations...

    Renting is now cheaper than owning in all of America’s 50 biggest metro areas

    Compounding effect of decades worth of consistent small good decisions. Well done.

    Renting is now cheaper than owning in all of America’s 50 biggest metro areas

    The problem with most people is access to debt has made them believe they can afford much more than they actually can. My personal opinion is if you can't save 20 percent plus of your income to invest or save, you can't afford the other expenditures in your life and need to downsize somewhere...

    Starting my own business: Franchisee

    Nice, if you know anyone who owns food franchises or can get connected would definitely do that. Would not just take their word for it, have a friend who owns a bunch of subways, I can ask if anything specific. My experience isn't specifically with food franchises.

    Starting my own business: Franchisee

    Nice, sounds like you did your homework. Would just suggest try to lock in the most desirable high traffic areas or at least get 1st rights of refusal if another operator wants to purchase in your area. If your shop is popular, most likely happens quickly. I would bet there is a lot more...

    Starting my own business: Franchisee

    Few questions, assuming the $50k guarantees you some type of territory? You absolutely need some sort of guarantee on area and rights so another operator can not come in. If they only have a few locations, you can heavily negotiate fees and area rights. Without a doubt you need to do this. They...

    Starting my own business: Franchisee

    I have experience with franchisees. Would just say make sure you speak with multiple owners not just the ones they hand select for you, some franchisors are great some are awful. Make sure you have a good handle on royalty %, advertising payments and any other hidden fees. Can be make or break...

    Renting is now cheaper than owning in all of America’s 50 biggest metro areas

    Just my 2 cents, there are posters on here much more experienced and savvy when it comes to real estate than myself. If you are an experienced and disciplined investor you can certainly out pace any net returns on a personal residence plus not have all that liquidity tied up. The vast majority...

    Trading Log: On the path to getting funded

    I really could care less about TA and charts. Time is better spend increasing your income to put into the market. It is about long term value proposition, secular/macro trends and managing risk. You can classify it any way you want but when you took your "break" that is exactly when you should...

    Trading Log: On the path to getting funded

    Yeah, on an account you hadn't logged into for a year and a half, by your own words. Einstein. Your delusion will be your own detriement, oh well

    Trading Log: On the path to getting funded

    You are right, you are not like me. I have actually built a real business with employees and made well over 7 figures investing. What results? You capitulated at the literal bottom of the market and disappeared for over a year only to reappear when the market was pumping again.

    Trading Log: On the path to getting funded

    Editing, since you added to your post. Failure along the way to success certainly is part of the process but it also does not guarantee it. A lot of that depends on what type of adjustments you make, what strategy you are using and in what application/context. The reason I mentioned it to you...

    Trading Log: On the path to getting funded

    That was first post on this thread, please show me where Brother, you did what exactly you were warned about in 2021/22 during the following crypto bear market. I genuinely hope you succeed but you are rewriting history.

    Trading Log: On the path to getting funded

    Think you have me mixed up with another poster, never said anyone was a gullible sucker. My point really was, you can have a good run but over time there is usually not sustainability in it for a million different reasons. You obviously have experience with this, what have been your results...

    Trading Log: On the path to getting funded

    How you do you earn your income today and you have to be at least a multi millionaire by now right? Question is a little tongue and cheek but this post reads like a broke degenerate gambler reminiscing about a win streak half a decade ago. The problem most run into with this strategy is they can...

    Trading Forex

    I am only going to say this because I like you and want to see you do well. The biggest thing that is going to hold you back is your EGO. You have been doing the full bravado I'm always right, I know what I'm doing for years now. Look at these posts from 2021, basically word for word on you...
