@theficouple Time in the market is >> than timing the market. How old are they? What's their risk tolerance? What's their Investment Policy Statement (IPS)? What are their targets? Knowing nothing else: 50% into a Short Term Bond Fund 50% into Vanguard S&P 500 or Fidelity equivalent.

Spoke with a doctor from Austin, TX: They currently have $140,000 in a savings account. Considering putting it in the S&P 500 but worried about value now being all time high. May instead put their money in a 12 month CD giving them guaranteed 4.5%. ...What would you do!?

@AstorAaron @ChrisO_wiki Given the amount of time it's going to take to unwind the SoH issue. . . this should be the Base Case expectation.

@ChrisO_wiki This would lead to large-scale demand destruction and a deep recession.

1/ This is what $200 per barrel of oil would mean for US gas prices, which currently average $4.30 per gallon. It could go much higher. As one analyst says, once oil stockpiles are functionally exhausted by the end of May, "price increases become exponential rather than linear."

@SMB_path @LaGrecca333 Idiots

@Isolveissues @LaGrecca333 Government abusing power as always right? Only the government could allow Google to dominate the market for any search, and cause home services to go through the roof, but think an airline that would hold line 9% of market share be a monopoly

I never flew Spirit airlines but I am upset that it will no longer operate. Over 17,000 hard working Americans out of a job. Biden should have allowed it to merge with JetBlue. It’s always sad to see a business that made it possible for people to do something that might otherwise be out of reach close.

@SMB_path @LaGrecca333 This is annoyingly bad because we lose the jobs and there's decreased competition. . . The gov't can make a mess like no other.

@Isolveissues @LaGrecca333 Yea, but not 17,000 of them, and part time jobs could have become full time jobs in some cases You’re not wrong but the two outcomes are vastly different

@JJeffrey100 @LiuInTheShadows Well solve one problem at a time.

@Isolveissues @LiuInTheShadows Can’t be it runs off into the Potomac. It was leaking its full volume daily, hence sealing it

🚨BREAKING: Trump hired a private pool contractor to fix the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool for an estimated $1.5 million to $2 million.. the same pool the National Park Service was quoting over $300 million to repair.. that's a $298 million gap.. for a pool.. and the wildest part.. the pool had a full renovation in 2012.. the government spent the money.. did the work.. and it was still covered in algae and goose droppings for years after.. this is the same playbook every single time.. a government agency quotes $300 million.. a private contractor quotes $2 million.. and the only reason you find out is because someone finally got mad enough to call a pool guy.. Trump inspected it in April 2026.. said it was filthy and leaking.. announced a blue coating project.. and work was already underway by May 2.. your tax dollars funded a $300 million estimate for a pool that a contractor is fixing before the Fourth of July.. the system worked for someone today.. just not for you. I’ll make another post later and trust me, you don’t want to miss it. Turn on notifications, this is important.

@KentGra88631041 Agreed. Folks are in total denial.

I guess he doesn’t realize that 13.9M BOPD is offline and will be offline for 3-5 years. Plus Qatar lost two LNG trains, likely out of commission for 5-10 years. Yes they are working to repair things as we speak, but this is far from over.

The Iran thing was a choice that drove Crude higher. But that's the thing about Crude & Fuel. . . it's highly volatile and the airlines/everyone loosely connected to the oil industry knows that. Spirit was not a well managed company. It failed to anticipate crude volatility. It failed to reduce it's costs appropriately. It failed to increase it's rates to maintain sustainable margins.

@timburchett Tell us about why jet fuel spiked the last couple months.

Here’s 17,000 jobs going down the tubes.

@AstorAaron @neoavatara Right but you hedge before there's an issue driving crude/jet A higher. . . They could have selected that strategy last year when crude was $55/bbl.

@Isolveissues @neoavatara They were in bankruptcy proceedings so they didn't have total choice over their recovery model.

Lina Khan and the Democrats supporting her nonsense are the ones that own the blame for Spirit Airlines failure. This is the cost of over regulating the marketplace. Trump's only mistake was considering bailing them out... And he did the right thing in the end.

@Cory_Tucek It will be a suspension but no way it’s a full month.

Charlie McAvoy might be taking the month of October off next year.

Spirit either needed to charge more for each fare or reduce their costs further. Their bankruptcy is on their management team. Would the merger have helped? Perhaps but they would have needed to charge more for each fare or reduce their costs further in order to be financially sustainable. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

The bankruptcy of Spirit, seriously my favorite airline because of low fares and no fuss, is due to the Biden administration. x.com/SecretaryPete/…

@AstorAaron @neoavatara That’s the airlines choice…they could have hedged their fuel costs but chose not to do so.

@neoavatara Not sold that the merger would have saved Spirit and not knocked both Spirit and JetBlue under. Neither company was prepared for the spike in jet fuel costs.

@clarkzkent @WallStreetApes How many data centers do you think there are in the United States? How many draw from municipal water? Do you think the towns are aware of the additional data center demand, or will it be a surprise?

@Isolveissues @WallStreetApes Really? I can do this all day. It is drawing from the city water supply, AS MOST DO... PLUS, this will be the largest data center in the world, reportedly using as much electricity as 37 states...

Google’s Data Center in New Albany, Ohio uses 387,000 gallons per day. That’s over 141 million gallons per year “What happens to that water? It gets generated with a lot of forever chemicals in it, and we the EPA does not have the equipment to actually clean that out” It’s true standard municipal wastewater treatment plants often struggle with PFAS because these chemicals don’t break down easily and require specialized, expensive removal technology

@clarkzkent @WallStreetApes How many topics can you conflate in a single tweet?

@Isolveissues @WallStreetApes I disagree with you, but your a smart guy, - What do you say about geoengineering and weather engineering? - You notice the draught? - Have you seen farmers will be 70% short on fertilizer this year? - > Why over 1000 data centers??? I know why, you?

@AstorAaron We all need to be more productive.

In 1902, each House member represented just under 200,000 people. Today, each House member represents around 800,000 people. That completely defeats the purpose of the original House of Representatives, which is to have Reps close to the people and their opinions.

If there's one solution to partisan gerrymandering that both parties generally agree to, it's that the House should be "uncapped" and expanded to reflect today's population, not 1911. Gerrymandering will still happen but not as effectively bc local pop shifts are more common.

@AstorAaron I don't want to pay for any additional Congressmen/women and their associated staffs, and their travel, and their secondary housing. They're mostly useless today. . . no need to expand the largess.

@clarkzkent @WallStreetApes Also matters where the water is drawn. Above you assume it's drawn from an aquifer. This is non-standard but depends on the location. Often cooling tower water is drawn from a local source (river, lake, bay, etc.), pretreated and then used in the cooling loop.

@Isolveissues @WallStreetApes Friend, PFAS or not, it still pollutes the water, and they are going to use up all the aquifer water that humans require to live.. And - if you followed my research, which you do not, this is NOT even the worst part... our world has turned pure evil and few see it, best to you

@MaryBowdenMD How do they find something like this?

An enormous white fibrous amyloid clot is removed from a man’s jugular vein. These clots were not seen prior to COVID.
