3) Pension funds are far superior to the Average Joe in allocating his capital efficiently. Evidence the inane suggestions on this thread.

Most pension funds are invested in stocks and bonds. Correct me if I am wrong.
Meanwhile to get back On-Topic........

Crypto, is where the money is if you want to do short term trading. Once you understand crypto, you can really make a killing.

I don't understand it and I have friends that have quickly lost their ass on crypto so I stay away from it.
I wish you the best however.
I am happy with making a 20% return on my money overall.
I'm not trying to hit the home run ball as I am old and play it safe by wearing a belt and suspenders.
My short term strategy has been working quite nicely for me so if it is not broke why try to fix it.

They need a new Ross Perot to take votes from the republicans.

The Democrat's presently don't even have a party. lol
They need a new Tampon Tim to take even more votes away to collapse their party. Hahahaha !

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]

A waste of electric and bad for the environment. Just use a decent fan.
Anyway, it would be bizarre to install a/c just to use for 6 weeks each year..

Depends on how you look at it jon
Approximately 500 people die from unintentional shootings in the U.S. per year yet over 1200 die from heat unintentionally.
So in essence A/C is a life saver for many especially us older folks like my friend mafketis explained to you.
I wouldn't call that a waste of my money to be comfortable in my old age.
My central air conditioning unit does my whole house as it uses the heating duct work too.
The A/C unit sets outside the house and runs at such a low noise level that you can't even hear it running from inside the house.
The total cost was under $10,000 with zero maintenance besides blowing the leaves out it in the spring and changing its filter.
And as far as the environment goes you can talk to Putin and Zelenskyy about what they are doing to the environment.
It was 92* degrees (34C) at my house yesterday and very humid outside.
Inside I had my A/C turned up to the point that I had ice on the inside of my windows.
I repeat.... more people die in heat waves in Europe than die of gun violence in the US...

And tawdrily frivolous to equate deliberate shootings with summer weather conditions.

No its not but it is tawdrily to confuse deliberate and unintentional shootings like only Mr. Twister could.
Heat waves that kill are undeliberate and so are undeliberate shootings. (Ya trackin' with us now jon ?)

And once again, I am making up quotes that johnny reb never made

Yes, quite
Its called TROLLING

And once again, guest workers are solving intra-American problems.

There are only so many work visa's given out to our invited guest workers so they are hardly solving any problems.
Best you worry about your invited guests there in Germany that brilliant Merkel invited in without visa's that have other motives than to work.

It is not July 3rd - it's July 5th

The markets were closed (NYSE) yesterday the 4th for a holiday and today Saturday.
I'm not doing it again

You don't have to, I did it for you for everyone to see.
I don't want anything besides to show Hairy Lazarus who Mystic Michigan Daddy is.
I just wanted to set the record straight of how you coming up with 11% for me when I was really up 20.5%. almost double what you figured.
I still don't know why we can't buy and sell our stocks to stay locked in for a month instead of an unforeseen year.
We may as well have a 12 month C.D. in that case.
I can't understand you keeping a stock for a year that is flat or dropping when there is another one sky rocketing.
It makes no sense to me keeping that money tied up doing nothing but it is your stupid rule.
Come Tuesday I will be selling my IDCC as I have a new hot stock that I have been eyeing.
You are right about a nice evening.
We are going for a sunset cruise out on Lake Michigan tonight if the wind goes down.
Enjoy your evening and thanks for your time cms

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]

Getting your house broken into is a traumatic experience

Yeah but lets talk some common sense here instead of Rambo tuff guy bullshit.
First of all, is there anything in your house worth anyone dying for ?
Hell no is the correct answer.
Let them take it and let the cops deal with it and if they don't get your items back turn it into your insurance company and collect on your losses.
An inconvenience, yes, worth dying for no.
Life goes on.

I agree that PolAm beat me because of one big stock that carried him.
I am just questioning how you could be so far off on my percentage total.
Anybody can google my stocks and see for themselves.

They are called ghetto bars here in the U.S.A.
You talk no sense

He reads to many tabloids that thrive on sensationalism
The conversation is useless anyways.

Yup, a long time ago but some of us like to provoke for the sake of argument.

Novi for the sake of sanity.
Give it up.
We have heard your daily rants, rinse and repeats so you would have someone to argue with from the get go of this thread that you started almost two years ago.
Please stop unless you have some new material.
You can't make people march to your beat by camping on it.
If the Eurps don't feel a need to own a gun then who the hell is some Polish ex-pat migrant telling them they should.
You can bet they were more happy to see you leave then you were to go.
You want a gun, you got one, so be happy and stfu because we lost this one a long time ago.
We have teased and taunted enough and it is time to let it go.
Thanks for understanding.

Good job PolAm
Congratulations !
I agree with your 25.2.% however I got 25.8% for your total

SLB +6.94
HAL +8.37
HD +2.44
LOW +2.8
MSFT +8.25
CRCL +126

Added up equals 154.80%
Divides by six stocks equals 25.8%

No problem there and I agree you won the month of June but the prize is only paid every quarter, not every month.

Now where I am confused and maybe the cms can straighten me out on my stock picks were:

AMZN +9.27
TSM +21.67
AMSC +38.01
IDCC +4.16
VUG +6.95
HOOD +42.92

Added up equals 122.98%
Divided by six stocks equals 20.50%

No arguments because PolAm is way ahead

The way you figured he surely is.
Perhaps you could explain how you came up with 11.6% on my picks when it shows I have 20.50% ?

One more reason why I refuse to play your game.

Thanks Joker
Have the chicken marinating for the grill later then the huge fireworks display tonight.
For all the Polish members that may not know that today, July 4th is America's Independence Day from Britain.
On July 4, 1776 this document announced the separation of the 13 North American colonies from Great Britain.
We told the Brits to keep their noses over across the pond and mind their own business or we would kick their asses again.
One more reason we love our Guns, Bibles, Beer and big loud Trucks to celebrate our Independence from inbred leaders.
We have our own king and he is 'King Trump'.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]

Jim and Ryszard are overwhelmed by them.

Stop BAITING and TROLLING jon before you have to give yourself a warning.

I think you vastly overestimate the significance of this forum,

Polish themed, American based, British administrators, smoke screen spreading NGO values and anti independence ?
That is why the gun issue is such a hot issue with them.
They rely on the government to take care of them believing the government knows what is better for them than what the people know what is better for themselves.
Europeans are very jealous of Americans independence whether it be free speech, owning a firearm for personal protection or Teflon Trump telling them game over and to F.O.

No, the old rag still runs her lying mouth
Remember when they gave her the answers for the debate and Trump still trounced her. lol
Can you imagine what she looks like now without makeup and having had her daily dozen martini's.
I am sure God has a special place for her.

Now for the respect of this forum, and each other, we really should be posting about Poland and Polish people.

everyone knows there's only ever been one pope and his name was

But some people act like they have the authority of the Pope here is what I meant
Its nice to see him give praise for a change instead of his daily nasty insults
Maybe he has finally seen the light and has decided to straighten up and contribute positive to this forum instead of trolling and posting Off - Topic that he is so infamous for.

Looks like I have another four business days before you can figure mine.
You don't have to hold the stocks physically - it's up to you but it's just for fun.

I wish you would have told me this BEFORE I made what I thought was only our personally owned stocks.
I could have tried to be clever like Hairy and picked BRK @$727,000 a share but more likely picked six of the seven magnificent seven stocks.
Those are a sure bet.

My picks were made before the said rules were established (remember this one) so those stocks are void.
You don't have to hold the stocks physically - it's up to you but it's just for fun.

Oh but we can. We have your six picks

You can do anything you want Hairy
Fair enough. I don't pretend to know enough

I concur, you only know how to troll and nothing about making money in the market as we have seen here.
All you have done is trolled this thread and ruined it.
Better you stick to your bicycle repair shop to keep your bar tab paid off.

And the best you picked Lazarus was up only 3.5%.
Anyway ref's decision - percentage gains, no currency adjustments.

Figure that with the amount of money invested proportionality and I waxed you horribly Hairy Lazarus
Aren't you glad you don't own any stocks and can only pretend to own $6500 a share stocks Hahahahaha !
So you have one stock worth $6500 and I have ten stocks worth $650 each.
Yours is up 3.5% and mine is up $42.92%......who made more money Hairy ? LOL
And it is all here for everyone to see.
You got drubbed but good by Jimmy.

Of course it was 6,197 when I picked it.

Now tell us that you own 500 shares of it. lmfao !

up 3.4%, so a better return than all but one of the stocks that Jimmy picked,

LMAO Did you figure proportional amounts invested ? Obviously not Hoot !

Now those are

What are you looking at Loser ???
Today, July 4th and the market is closed here for a holiday so technically July 3rd

Today July 3rd they read

AMZN +9.27%
TSM +21.67%
AMSC +38.01%

BRO which I replaced the next day with VUG is up 6.95%

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]

whose job is to control the narrative on forums like these.

Buddy you just became my best friend.
And some exploit Poland in the process by being foreigners using a Polish forum as a smoke screen to spread their ilk is beneath contempt.
When I try to make this point and post it here on the front page my post gets deleted, I get a warning for Baiting or Trolling and get a suspension for a million seconds.
Lets see how long this post stays here.
I wouldn't be surprised if 1/3 of the users on here are paid shills.

I could name a couple of names but my post would get deleted and I would get another suspension.
So much for free speech.
They are as adamant about being anti gun as we are about being anti LGBT.
The problem is that it is their sandbox, they have access to the control panel to stay in control, so we have to play by their rules.
Are not "home invasions". This is an American term.

That's because this is an American based forum about Poland.
No wonder they live in fear.

More Baiting as no one lives in fear, we pray for the best and are prepared for the worst.
I wonder how Jim's and Rich's home arsenal of weapons would protect them

More Baiting and Trolling by the best of them.
Come break into either of our homes and find out first hand.
Pin a note on your shirt before hand to where you want your remains sent, jon
Now please stay On - Topic and quit Trolling to Bait the narrative.
