@MebFaber The substack was a fascinating read. I knew nothing about the mandated spending.

QQQ was mandated and forced to spend over a billion dollars marketing the fund to you over the past decade. Given the responses, it sounds like it worked! Now that it has converted, it's the most profitable ETF. morningstar.com/funds/big-chan…

World's biggest Buenaveza fan! @StoneBrewing @Brockcronn

@BrianFeroldi Thank you Brian! Your 50 accounting infographics is helping a high schooler with her accounting!!

We are praying for this nation. We're people of the Book, and the Book tells us to pray for our leaders, even if we don't agree with them. And Trump is one of our leaders. He was a president. And Joe Biden is one of our leaders. He is the current sitting president. There aren’t many things that President Biden does that I agree with, but it is my job to pray for him anyway. And certainly to not bring him harm. I can disagree with him and still honor the office and still honor the person. And certainly not engage in any kind of stupidity like some of the rhetoric that has gone on in the last 48 hours—and really has gone on for the last several years. Some of you are really too serious about what happens in the White House. If you'd concentrate half as much on what happens in your house, you’d be in a whole lot better shape. That's really the common denominator of success. It hasn't got anything to do with those guys up there. Yes, they do some things that affect our lives, but I've had several of them try to ruin my life, and they hadn't pulled it off. And I've had several of them try to make my life better, and they haven’t pulled that off. I'm old, and I've seen presidents that were going to be the end of democracy, and they weren't. And I've seen presidents that were going to be the second coming of Jesus, and they were not even close. I think the problem is that the level of anger has to do with the expectations of what the office can provide. Treat these people like people—they have families, they have children, they have friends. I've got friends who are congressmen, friends who are senators, and the stuff that they have to put up with… Some of you are just out of control, and you should not spend your money on Financial Peace University—You should spend it on counseling. Concentrate on fighting for or against ideas. When you have to vilify or destroy a person because you disagree with their idea, you've already lost the argument, because you've lost the high ground. You don't have to destroy people for your idea to win.

@RetirementRisks Sat around ours last night with the neighbors! This is our setup

Anyone have a gas outdoor fire pit they really love?

@lady__bost Nah.

If you could become a billionaire tomorrow… But by doing so you’d also agree to wake up 20 years older than you are right now… Would you do it?

@EatDrinkNBeMery Ryan Fitzpatrick disapproves of this post.

Take: Most facial hair on guys are nasty except goaties.... Long beards just look like pubes on your face, and food probably gets stuck in it (gross rot in hair). Mustaches are smarmy, like a used car salesman or porn star, just makes people look untrustworthy and shady AF.

@MegBartelt Love it!

@FiSurgi Now I have Wu-Tang in the head...

Y’all remember the good ol days? The days when you could get a Large pizza and some breadsticks for well under $20? I miss those times.

@MegBartelt Nope, but I've sent a thousand rollover checks to Fidelity!

@historyinmemes California?

Without googling, name something that Mexico invented

@MegBartelt It's definitely this: Fidelity Investments 100 Crosby Parkway KC2Q Covington, KY 41015

Apparently, all men have a favorite plane. Spill it, gents.

@patrick_oshag @MebFaber Pulse - Pink Floyd Does a live album count? Because that one is AWESOME

@MebFaber Pink Floyd Probably dark side Maybe the wall I might even choose wish you were here if forced to sit right now and listen to one album in the world

Help me settle a debate... What's the best album, front to back (can't skip a song), of all time?

@MegBartelt I have a vanguard of about 65 households over there, that I've learned it over the last couple of weeks. Pretty easy, to be honest.

@ChickfilA This little guy has big life goals! Thanks for being his favorite!

Happy 4th July to our American friends
