Medical costs insurance cost property taxes food have they been increasing the last several years? Makes talk of inflation being under control seem ridiculous

[@genzinvesting8405]

It might be time to allow Joe to retire - guy just rudely interrupts literally everyone and stumbles through his points. Andrew is next worse with the interrupting guests

[@JG-re2bb]

It is past time for both of them

[@Cap_management]

Im European and Im not jealous. My country has exactly zero tents in streets. Zero stores with items locked behind glass. Free education up to college, universal healthcare and great public transportation by rail, bus and tram. Thats why USA is far below Europe in happiness and safety index.

[@Fear.of.the.Dark.]

agreed plus US govt and central bank had the luxury to pump insane amount of dollars unlike the EU over last 4 years.

[@ScentlessSun]

Europe’s defense spending has been so low for so long it’s enabled things like this. Your defense industries withered on the vine so much you couldn’t even help Ukraine win this war on your own. The USA has been funding Europe’s security for decades and not offering its citizens universal free healthcare, education, etc. It’s amazing what you can afford to do when you have a token military.

[@JG-re2bb]

Im American and feel very fortunate I live here and not in Europe. Whats your point?

[@EthelbertCoyote]

It may be time to consider giving the Fed a few more tools to massage risk ranges.

Technology leads again in 2024. The 1st quarter 2024 EV sales match all of 2020 EV sales. Lillium Evtol Jets.. FSRNQ.. Fisker.. Surf Air Mobility rose 37 % week... Zapp up 118 % month.. Blade Evtol Jets up 11 % week.

I wish this interviewer wouldn't talk over the guests; but I'm relieved to see it's not just the women. I've been so disheartened how he interrupts all the female guests, as they are in the middle of answering the Q he just A'd, to argue or ask them some new topic Q. His talking over the guest makes it very hard to hear the information that we tuned in for.

[@chuck_in_socal]

Everybody is complaining about prices while buying things like crazy.

[@WallaceCob]

!!I recently sold some of my long-term position and currently sitting on about 250k, do you think Nvidia is a good buy right now or I have I missed out on a crucial buy period, any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks will be appreciated.

[@DonaldToliver-se5tz]

You need an expert. I'm guided by Adviser Bruce Murdock a widely known consuitant.

[@DonaldToliver-se5tz]

My colleagues had a good laugh at me when I told them I started my journey with $50k capital and how I accumulated over 6 figures within a span of 7 months. They never believed me until I pulled out my P&L. I know that learning the ins and outs of the market isn't for everyone, that's why personally, Bruce Murdock oversees my investments.

[@WallaceCob]

nice! once you hit a big milestone, the next comes easier. How can i reach him, if you don't mind me asking?

[@WallaceCob]

I've just looked up his full name on my browser and found his webpage without sweat, very much appreciate this.

[@KJB-gn8mr]

Go buy a CD . Bruce is a scammer .

[@ncprealty3844]

Sadly, this guy is teaching Harvard College students. Students request a refund.

[@btcberg3615]

BITCOIN OR GO DOWN WITH THE SHIP 🚢

[@nickvin7447]

Shtcoin is the Titanic.

[@Watcher1-jr5lo]

Same old tired guests. Bring on Greg Manarino.

[@chri6393]

If you're worried about spending, go back to taxes the last time we had a surplus. So undo Bush and Trump tax cuts, and remove the cap on ssi tax

[@nicholas5396]

🎤 drop

[@nickvin7447]

You realize that is the reason we have low unemployment right genius?

[@chuck_in_socal]

Less government. Fewer hand outs. Quit funding foreign wars.

[@Mostly_bad]

Cut defense.

[@btcberg3615]

They will increase that over 10% , we are in a debt spiral and they will just keep spending till the dollar is worthless.

[@MissMyMusicAddiction]

this is such a dumb dance
