Trump seems to have supernatural luck. Think about the people in Trump's inner circle. Vivak came out of no where in a primary against Trump, and how he blew up, was something to watch. All without a negative word. Tulsi Gabbad gave a speech at CPAC this year. Amazing speech in which presented, why she is no longer a Democrat. It was amazing. Bukele of el Salvador was also at CPAC his speech was amazing. RFK jr. speaks for himself. It seems like we have a group of people, all working for a common goal.

< At 55, I'm from southeastern Ohio but have worked internationally for most of my career. With $500,000 in savings, I'm ready to retire, although I'm worried about the rising inflation. Is this enough to retire well, or should I seek professional money management?

[@Watersbill89]

It's always nice to connect with a fellow Buckeye! Your retirement comfort will largely depend on the lifestyle you plan to live.

[@Watersbill89]

I'd recommend money management just to be safe. You're only 55, and with the average life expectancy in the U.S. around 77.5 years, but many living into their 80s, that $500k needs to last you for a long time, including any unexpected expenses. It's a solid start though-well done!

I've been lucky to get an early start in personal finance. I began working at 19 and bought my first house at 28. When I was laid off at 36, right after the COVID outbreak, I immediately hired an advisor with determination to help me stay afloat. Today, my portfolio is up over 300%, worth $836k. Keep the motivation strong, friends!

That's huge! Your advisor must be excellent. Could you share more about your approach? I'm in urgent need of help with asset allocation.

I've partnered with Tracy Britt Cool Consulting as my CFA, and all the info you need is available online. Although some may feel like their goals are out of reach this year, I'm convinced it's still possible to reach six figures if you stay focused. I was initially reluctant to have someone else manage my finances, but I'm glad I made that choice.

Signal vs noise should be examined in the context of the actual analogy it derived from. Looking at data, to find rhe signal amonst the noise in the background. You have to discriminate and use your cognition to get past the noise to find the signal.

[@matthewsmith5879]

I love the signal and noise analogies. I get the perception of signal being focused on the present but having amazing insight into the future and having the ability to accurately predict where we heading, what's coming next and making bold decisions based on what the signals today are telling you about the future. And noise is really the distraction that clouds future thinking. The socialites and sometimes celebrities have to live in the noise to sustain their popularity. Guys like Elon don't give a hoot whether they popular or not. Kamala Harris's campaign was focused on the noise, President Trump on the other hand was focused on the signals that were telling him that we need to make America great again. And that's it with Signal. It recognizes what's happening now and makes decisions that will impact the future positively. I love the Show guys.

Everyone thinks Elon is building all these companies by himself. That's not true. He has an incredibly competent and driven team who emulate his vision and have adopted his dream as their own. Elon is likely getting in the way of his team if he injects himself in the day to day.

[@btwidk5945]

Elon lives at his businesses. He literally did not even own his own home until recently. He wears a torn shirt day in and out. Yes. He built it. With the help of a team who believes in him and the vision. That is how all businesses thrive.

[@K9Weddings]

Yes he has an incredible team behind him. A team based on merit, the best of the best. He refuses to buy into diversity. The reason the democrats lost was they promoted incompetent people. Kamala Harris had no business being anywhere near power.

In audio production, signal to noise is the measure of how polluted the signal (the sound as picked up by a microphone) is by noise (background hum, or interference). I think the explanation in this segment was a bit clunky. What Kevin meant was you get no noise pollution in the Elon signal. It's crystal clear.
