@Investmentkage I swear this question is on my timeline 5x a day with different ages

How much should a 27 year old have invested? Brother, can we stop with these questions 🙃

@theRealKiyosaki Dad, he’s predicting another market crash

BIGGEST BUBBLE BUST I do not know what pin, what event will pop the biggest bubbles in histor. What ever the event, the pin is near. It’s not IF. It’s WHEN. When the bubbles go bust I predict gold will hit $35,000 an ounce one year after the gold bubble goes pop.. I predict silver to hit $200 an ounce a year after the bust. I predict Bitcoin will hit $ 750,000 a coin a year after the crash. And i predict Ethereum to be $95000 a year after crash. What do you think prices will be a year after the next GFC? Time to get richer?

@wannabefresh Don’t set anything aside for the tax man? 😬

@Clt_TrafficGuy Oh I thought I could tell when I got into SC because of the pot holes 😂 (fort mill resident)

You see something similar when you cross into SC from NC when it is raining...the spray from tires is a lot less due to SC's special Open-Graded Friction Course (OGFC) pavement.

Trading up for a running back at 10 while Styles is still there is…something.

@Utah307 @adamlwingfield This sums it up mostly. Theres nuances (ie - runs daily with same carrier. Likely to have a LH+FSC agreement)

I don’t know of many brokers that break out their rates to carriers by linehaul and FSC. Brokers are running off of their combined linehaul+FSC as an all in rate in their TMS. They are then selling based on that all in rate. Example they get $1500+281.65 in FSC, they are selling the load like they have $1781.65 in the load probably looking to cover for around $1550. No separation of FSC.

If you are a broker, and billing shippers for FSC and not passing it along to the carrier rightfully, two things: 1.) That’s your business and I’m sure that’s the argument. But….. 2.) We got beef….this ain’t the time to be shafting the very carriers that are moving this country forward.

@JamesHu27192912 NC State Troopers:

Nobody on Earth — past, present, or Carolina edition — plays hide and seek like the North Carolina State Highway Patrol. These troopers don’t just park behind bushes… they become the woods. Somewhere between the pine trees, hanging moss, and thick roadside brush, a silver cruiser is sitting there like it grew out of the forest. You think you’re just cruising through North Carolina. Windows down. Warm air. Doing a relaxed “Carolina speed limit plus 10.” Then suddenly — BAM. A State Trooper Charger appears out of the greenery like it just completed a stealth training course somewhere deep in the Appalachian Mountains. I’m convinced NCSHP doesn’t get shift briefings… they get missions. They’re not patrolling. They’re blending into the landscape. If you blink, change the radio station, or look at the Blue Ridge Mountains for half a second, that cruiser melts back into the trees like a local legend. And you’ll sit there wondering if it was real… or if North Carolina just created sentient police cars that hunt speeders in the woods. 🚔🌲

@DGretta_Author It’s a solid watch. The book Losing the Signal is pretty good too

Blackberry movie on Netflix is pretty good.

@CoachMacHTX @DividendBreeder My uncle has been an owner operator for nearly 40 years. Most people don’t really understand the business model and how to get one. They aren’t franchises, you can’t just roll up to Chick-fil-A with $10K and get one. But yes they do cover a lot of upfront costs

@DividendBreeder Only 10k to open a franchise too.

We stopped at Chick-Fil-A for lunch. Such an incredible business model. The place was packed. Long line to place an order, barely an open table. Cars winding around the building for drive-thru. But the in-store line moved fast. We ordered and had quality food delivered to our table within minutes. While we were eating, an employee came to our table and asked if he could get us drink refills. Absolutely, I’ll take some more Coke. A great experience, overall. Chick-Fil-A is one of the best run companies, not just restaurants, period. If it was a publicly traded company, I would buy that stock and feel really good about it.

@Panthers24_7 I think the talent we’re bringing in will only Make Princely elevate more. Having huge talent on the field gives you 1:1 pin your ears back opportunities

Based on his recent social media posts and his end of the year locker room interview with Carolina Blitz, it’s safe to say Princley feels some type of way with the Phillips signing. Just my observation. I could be wrong but that’s my read on it. I still believe in him though.

@Investmentkage Quite a few people peddle this 1% weekly return. What’s sad is people are following their advice

Ain’t no way someone said it’s easy to make 1% on options every week with 250k. You realize if you are able to get a 52% annualized return you would be a billionaire. Good luck.

@josephperson @J_App10 @ed_waz Everyone acting like every position has to be an all star 😂 If our pass rush improves significantly (which on paper it has), pass coverage will be a lot better. And we do have some elite DBs on the roster

Panthers are re-signing returning starting S Nick Scott on a 1-year deal worth up to $3.25 million, per agents Jeremy Appledorf (@J_App10) and Ed Wasielewski (@ed_waz) of EMG Sports. Scott was 2nd on Panthers last yr w/ career-high 111 tackles and is a leader on Ejiro Evero’s D.

This is what I struggle to wrap my head around. Not anti-Bitcoin. Currency is used to exchange for goods/services/assets. Some examples of people buying things with BTC but not at scale. Most BTC buyers are buying to accumulate more USD. The maxi’s say never ever sell, so they view it as real estate or gold in essence?

So if the Bitcoin maxi crowd quite literally never sell their bitcoin because their only obsession is buying more of it due to some variation of "price goes up over everything long-term." Then what even is the point of Bitcoin (separate of addiction to it)?

@freightcaviar Some big outfits in Charleston 👀

No major freight brokerages in any of these cities. Makes sense.

@CLT_Sportsfan We also drafted Trevin Wallace over Payton Wilson in 2024. Still early to say if was right/wrong move

CAR is starting to pay the price of not drafting a single OL for the past 2 years This situation began in 2024 when they passed on a franchise Center in Zach Frazier for an injured RB Good teams draft an OL nearly every year , they need to learn from this

@CodyLac Just signed a C and have the draft still a month away. You don’t address every position in FA

The Carolina Panthers just spent ALL that money on defense just to let their offensive line (LT, C) backslide into oblivion. Makes NO sense

@adamlwingfield They also own Audi & Porsche, few other luxury brands as well

Honestly speaking, I can’t remember the last time I saw a Volkswagen in traffic…

@TJTheWheelDeal Every couple of weeks people on X become experts in all sorts of fields: ballistics, tax codes, tariffs, oil, job reports, sports scouting. It’s astonishing 😎

I love this platform. Soooo many of you are experts on CPI, Earnings, war and now OIL. Stop with the oil. You don’t even know what way the drill bit rotates! lol

@jhovey34 It’s not just Greenville. The “suburbs” of Charlotte (Fort Mill, Tega Cay, Indian Land, etc), Myrtle Beach and Charleston have all been booming for years

Everyone is moving to the hometown man. Shoutout Greenville but also we gotta lock in. Not gonna be long before it’s an overcrowded small city that’s unaffordable to live in 😅

I have no idea how my portfolio is performing the last couple of weeks. I’m sticking to my long term thesis. Autobuys and some CSPs on names I like every few weeks. Just keep stacking
