@TKopelman depends on the business

The “dividend-focused” mindset just doesn’t make sense to me Here’s why: • Paying out a dividend lowers the value of the business by the same amount • It is a forced sale and leads to taxes for you, even if you do not want the funds Let’s break it down more Imagine your business has $1 million in cash You have two choices: • Reinvest it to grow the business • Pay it out to the owners as a dividend If you pay it out, the business now has less cash, so its valuation drops You’ve just traded long-term growth potential for a short-term payout This is why focusing solely on dividend yield can be misleading Maximizing long-term value often comes from reinvesting in growth, not taking money out prematurely Your investment mindset should consider total return, not just the immediate cash you receive

@grok @BraVoCycles @pennyplayer3 dumbass.

From 1964-1982, amid the Vietnam War escalation (Gulf of Tonkin 1964 onward), the US stock market stagnated in a sideways range. The Dow Jones was roughly flat nominally from its 1965 peak (~1,000) to 1982 (~777-1,000 range), with the S&P 500 similarly showing no net progress until the early '80s bull market. High inflation (Great Inflation, peaking ~14% in 1980), stagflation, oil shocks (1973, 1979), and recessions (1969-70, 1973-75, 1980-82) wiped out real gains despite war spending.

@BraVoCycles @pennyplayer3 tell us what happened from 64-82

@hellsitehero @pennyplayer3 Normally market should rally during a war. Did you know that?

@BasedMikeLee she should be in jail for 2020.

Stacey Abrams falsely claims that the SAVE America Act would disenfranchise “seniors, rural, disabled, students, and people of color” This is false in every way imaginable

@pennyplayer3 @BraVoCycles markets off 5% during a war.

@PatMcAfeeShow Baseball needs you. Welcome Home.

This 19 year old is aiming line drives in his first at bat on the Big Leagues… Uhhh YEAH

@Dk3emperor @theblaze we have 300 years of oil and gas….

@theblaze He posted this in response to a video about trying to rescue that pilot. Hey Trump, try focusing on the pilot getting rescued. The fact that you care so much about oil that you'd post that as a response makes you disgusting

Trump on Iran: “KEEP THE OIL, ANYONE?”

@RyanDetrick @Barchart The market is propped up by oil/energy. Mag 7 out. Energy in. When oil drops - the next leg is lower

Could the S&P 500 go down 20%? Anything is possible, but looking at the other 11 bear markets since the S&P 500 became 500 stocks shows that they usually start with a quick drop from ATHs. In fact, down 5% in only 14.5 days on avg those times. The recent 5% mild pullback took a very long 35 trading days, which would by far be the most ever should this turn into a bear market. Shoutout to the OG @StovallCFRA for pointing this out today.

@DailyCaller Ro had a shot at being relevant….he blew it

Ro Khanna Vows Democrats 'Will Impeach' Trump If They Win The House: 'He should be impeached now' dlvr.it/TRsjx7

@SenSanders you have never been right on any issue - ever

70% think AI will lead to fewer jobs. They are right. We can’t allow a handful of billionaires, eager to increase their wealth and power, to rush forward with a technology that will fundamentally transform humanity without democratic input or accountability.

@ZitoSalena @thejasonhoward_ @jakeovermanz @pittpurpose @dcexaminer you can not run a Catholic Church without folding chairs.

They are not alone. For the first time in decades, faith in this country is growing, not retreating — particularly among our young people, something that I’ve been reporting for the past year. In my rural parish, a Roman Catholic Church in the Diocese of Greensburg, our attendance has nearly doubled since last fall. Unless you get to Mass at least 15 minutes before services begin, you are left standing for the entire service — and that is with added folding chairs in the back, along the side, and with the choir pews above us filled. This week alone, across the Diocese of Greensburg, over 200 people, young and not-so-young, will be welcomed and fully initiated into our Catholic community. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…

@mamboitaliano__ pretty easy to get more oil…open the straights.

🚨 JUST IT Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni flew unexpectedly to the Persian Gulf yesterday Her trip includes Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the EAU 🇦🇪 The tough reality is clear: we are running out of oil In Giorgia we trust!

@BreitbartNews J6 should look like a church picnic after the fraud is revealed

Thom Tillis says he'll vote no on Trump's next AG nominee if they don't agree that January 6 was worse than Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and the Trail of Tears in every single facet.

@Captain_Shiro @TruRedPatriot @BarrySmithMFFL @FoxNews @pdoocy you have no idea what tariffs cost you.

@TruRedPatriot @hellsitehero @BarrySmithMFFL @FoxNews @pdoocy ...and also feel the need to lie about your tax responsibility in order to feel accepted by the rest of the cult. Do you need a hug, or something? Maybe a pet dog? Nevermind, you're in the cult, you'd just call Noem to come help you out the first time it had an indoor accident.

BREAKING: President Trump has been briefed on reports out of Iran that a U.S. F-15 fighter jet has been downed inside the country, @pdoocy has learned

@RandPaul we should not have to - its common sense

The FBI arrested a couple for defrauding Medicare out of $7.5 million through fake hospice claims. I introduced the End Welfare for Non-Citizens Act to ensure benefits go only to those legally eligible. Call your senator and tell them to support this bill (202) 224-3121.

@TimRunsHisMouth The Oreo Diet is working out for her.

I had to see it so you do as well. 🤮🤮🤮

@adammocklerr Trump is teaching young people not to tolerate bullshit.

From Obama I learned patience. From Biden I learned compassion. What lesson is Trump teaching young people?👇

@BobMurphyEcon @politicalfabian Massie is the most amazing success story in congress. An American success story that should be celebrated.

@politicalfabian massie has a master's degree from MIT in mechanical engineering wouldn't that have been relevant for this "head-to-head" comparison

Was Thomas Massie really just another one of those “social media” congressmen? I could have sworn he passed more than just 1 bill his entire career. Damn. That’s bad.

@Ritholtz With the gov’t (finally) firing thousands of workers, 178k is a solid number.

I am aghast listening to people on TV discuss the NFP report of 178k as "Blowout numbers." This is an okay number, not as bad as some recent data points, not as good as others. Call it the soft prejudice of low expectations...
