@TomSteyer Mono means "single"
4 producers does not make a MONOpoly, no matter how retarded your logic is.
Gas is high in CA because the political class has placed a tax on gas of .89 cents a gallon.
Not because 4 companies compete to sell the most by keeping costs low.

Four corporations control 90% of California's refining capacity. That's not a market — that's a monopoly.
I'll attack their grip on gas pricing and force an investigation into why Californians pay more than anyone else in the country.

A New York resident just got a $600 congestion pricing bill in the mail.
Six hundred dollars just for driving through the city.
She says she refuses to take public transit after being ASSAULTED twice.
So now the “solution” is to make her pay hundreds just to drive instead.

@MarcosMillaYT Investors who use such a combo might consider following that notion to its logical conclusion - that basically equals large cap blend, which is something like $VOO.
Also, $SCHD, being 100% stocks, does not provide "stability" in any meaningful sense: x.com/OptimizedPort/…

Stop saying dividend stocks are "safer" or "lower risk." Same max DD for $SCHD and $VOO (the March 2020 flash crash). See figure 1. "BuT 2022!" - Yes, Value crushed Growth in 2022 (see Figure 2). What's your point?

If you think $SCHD is a great ETF…imagine pairing it with $SCHG
SCHD provides the dividends + stability
SCHG provides the high growth
Fund overlap is just…0%
The perfect combo.

@wcdispatch Why did CA not hire Japan to build this? They have done it, CA has not.
English
Fascinating. Here are some other things that cost $120B:
The entire interstate highway system for the USA, ~$115B.
The International Space Station, ~$125B.
The U.S. Navy Ford Class Aircraft Carrier Program, ~$120B (~$13B per ship).
But a train between two cities cost more?

In a 60 Minutes report, officials said they now believe the rail line linking L.A. and San Francisco could ultimately cost about $126 billion, more than triple the original price tag approved by voters. ktla.com/news/californi…

@HansMahncke I don’t know why they didn’t let Japan build it. They’ve done it before, CA has not.
English
If you gave away $126 billion to subsidize free flights between LA and San Francisco at current demand levels, you could fund roughly 150 to 200 years of travel before the money runs out.

@rowdyburns1978 @sircalebhammer Wasting my time, zero logic on your last two replies

@GoliathGrape @sircalebhammer Did you finish making those shoe laces at your job?

Shouldn’t it be creating… high-speed rail though?

@GoliathGrape @sircalebhammer Looks like they’re delivering results, yeah.
English
@rowdyburns1978 @sircalebhammer Your comment makes zero sense. I am expected to deliver results at my job. They should be too.
English
@GoliathGrape @sircalebhammer You should be making less money at your job right now, right?

@rowdyburns1978 @sircalebhammer This is coming from someone who loves the idea of HSR connecting SF to LA to SD.
English
@GoliathGrape @sircalebhammer Yep, looks like that site will help them lay the tracks. There’s a lot of grade crossings they’ve completed or that they’re working on. Looks like they’re doing a lot. Idk.
CA High-Speed Rail 🚄💨@CaHSRA
✅COMPLETE: Cesar Chavez Blvd. Underpass & Grade Separation in Fresno, CA! This is the 59th structure to be completed in the Central Valley + will take traffic 15 ft. below the Union Pacific Railroad & future high-speed rail tracks! Learn more: bit.ly/4sE8AVN

@Ashton_1nvests Diversification won’t make you poor either. Concentration will.

@micsolana Nowhere near as many jobs as the Soviet Union :(

“california high-speed rail is creating good-paying jobs” very cool but is it creating high-speed rail

@rowdyburns1978 @sircalebhammer Tell me if I’m missing something. These are freight train tracks that bring materials to the HSR material storage, but no HSR tracks have been installed. This does not count as laying HSR track and my point still stands.

@GoliathGrape @sircalebhammer Needlessly buying ridiculous amounts of expensive, non-contiguous real estate parcels.

@GoliathGrape @OptimizedPort I like when it consistently raises its dividend year after year :)

It’s very rare that you see a fund pay a high 10% yield AND maintain a stable NAV…
$JEPQ checks both boxes ✅
