re: Revocable Living Trust (RLT)

no longer live in La. but my will states that any possessions not in my trust convert to trust ownership upon death. Doesn't this address this issue?


That still requires some form of probate to facilitate, at least in LA.

Stats like that make me feel great, actually.


Exactly. There have been countless studies that show hitting with RISP is essentially perfectly correlated with simply hitting. Good teams over the course of a season will get a lot of people on base and leave a lot of people on base. There will be streaks like this as a result.
Hitting with runners in scoring position is not an actual skill. You can either hit or you can’t hit.

We have this stupid thread every season multiple times.

ETA: anyone that thinks otherwise is a moron.

I wholeheartedly disagree with this personally, but I’ll concede that many people think this way.

Those same people buy WMT because it’s “safe” and pay 43x forward earnings instead of 23x for Nvidia. Just incredible.

re: Should I sell my MSTR?

So, with that in mind, if what you want to do is bet on bitcoin's price, then you should sell MSTR and just buy a bitcoin ETF or whatever.


Ehh I wouldn’t. MSTR - regardless of logic- trades like levered BTC instrument. If you’re betting on BTC going up from here I would stick with MSTR.

I think of it similar to gold miners vs gold. At the perceived top you want to own gold/BTC, at the perceived bottom you want to switch into miners/MSTR.

You're definitely right on the annoyance of retitiling. Some were easier than others, but overall it's not that bad. And once it's done you won't think back on the aggravation.


It’s not the initial set up that gets people, it’s doing it on all or nearly all of your accounts/assets going forward that is the problem.

Dying in Louisiana with more than $125,000 outside of the trust- which can easily be a couple nice cars and a boat or something - and you’re still going to have to do a full succession.

There are reasons to do a revocable trust, and avoiding probate is one of them, but if it is your sole reason you really have to stay on top of it.

Most people pay for both because they don’t know wtf they’re doing.

Nah. We will lose the house. You can nearly 7x your money on any of the prediction sites if you think otherwise. It is what it is.

I completely agree but they’re going to comfortably take back the house nonetheless. Trump has 11 months to get anything else done that will last.
I didn’t know who she was but I saw her during the broadcast. I thought she may have been a republican who was the last to check in. :lol:

:lol:, well to be fair I don’t think this was some 4D chess move to preempt climate change tariffs. It was just the quickest route to get what he wanted and it might have worked.

So other nations can enforce tarriffs, but not the U.S. Stupid mother frickers!


That’s not at all what was decided.

If so easy and you saw it coming, why didn't you travel to DC meet with President Trump and show him your evidence? Could it be because you are full of dung?


Trump is smart enough to know this was likely the outcome when he started.

Can easily go back and re-do them, but the clusterfrick is refunding already imposed tariffs and what is that process.


And who do we pay. Many here say foreign companies have born the cost. Dems say consumers have paid for them. :lol:
So slightly more than half of 2025 tariffs have to be repaid.
quote:

That sucks….so basically it’s ok for other countries to rape us tariff wise but we cannot use tariffs to reciprocate and be used as negotiating measures without our useless congress’ direction….is that right?


No that’s not right.
