THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

“Takes money to make money.”

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Disappointed considering I'm in here for some Steph "gravity" talk.

 

[atlsfinest]

You can take the mil liquid and flip it tenfold too without having to repay. Is the cash dirty and come with a negative credit score or something? Does that 850 credit score change my name and race on an application too?

What exactly does "flip it" mean? Are you starting other businesses or offer loans to others at a higher rate and making a profit that way? In what way would you not have to repay the money? lol, it's still a loan.

^ I know nothing of the stock market. I know Trading Places was hilarious.

GOAT Christmas movie IDC what anyone says.

Buy the S&P 500 and forget about it. The only stock market advice someone who doesn't know anything about the markets needs.

Buffett's Bet with the Hedge Funds: And the Winner Is …

In 2008, Warren Buffett placed a million-dollar bet that an S&P 500 index fund would beat the funds of funds hedge fund managers would select.

The whole concept of "Active management" & "Alpha" is pointless for most people but you didn't hear it from me. Passive wins almost every metric every time.

The whole thing?!

Sounds way more complicated than it is. You can buy an ETF such as SPY (https://www.ssga.com/us/en/institutional/etfs/funds/spdr-sp-500-etf-trust-spy) which is exposure to the S&P500.

Speaking of money, something happened to me Saturday in the parking lot at work that I swear I never believe when I read other people say it happened to them, so I'm sure some of you won't believe this.

We all know the color of money, very familiar, very distinct kind of a mint green color. We see a piece of paper on the floor with that money color, what do you automatically think? 'Somebody lost $1, maybe a $5 if I'm lucky.' You look around, see if someone else is running up to it, or if someone is literally counting money in the very near vicinity and maybe it blew away from them.

I walk out to the parking lot Saturday night, and I see a piece of paper on the floor in that mint green color. Immediately start walking towards it and looking around. Not a soul in sight. Parking lot completely empty. I bend down to pick it up remembering this one time at Walmart the same thing happened and it was half of a $1 bill and 3 teenage boys standing at the entrance of the Walmart laughing at people who bent down to pick it up, like I did. That ran through my mind real quick, but I still followed through, looking around. Literally NO ONE.

Bruh, that damn thing was a $100 bill, sweatergawd. Now, I work at a hotel under the Hilton umbrella, and the people staying here, I mean, well, the cars are pretty nice, we'll just say that. So I don't know who was counting money or stuffing money in their purse and lost a $100 bill, but something about one man's trash...

This is good to hear! When I first got a 401K, I picked the “long-term, steady growth” option and really haven’t looked back since. Doesn’t get much more passive than that...

Why borrow a mil that you'll need to pay back with interest when you can just have a mil and still flip that? I've had money in the bank (nowhere near a mil though for any of you stick up kids) and I've had a good credit score and I didn't have them at the same time. I'd trade in my credit score for every dollar back. When you got money you don't need credit.

Sadly enough, the more money people have, the more debt they incur. Banks are willing to lend money to people who have it.


Got money to buy a Honda cash? Why not get a Telsa on credit then?

Your calculations show that you can afford a 600k mortgage but the bank approved you for 800k? Why not go for the 800k house.

Most people don't have the discipline to live within their means, especially when the consumerism culture a d how easy it is to get a higher mine of credit when you have the cash.

 

[BIG FISH]

Would say you better than this. But nah. You just NASTY on this topic

Sad!

And you’re not?

That sounds like a target fund and its a bit of both but even still you're fine. People are their own worst enemy when it comes to this kind of thing. My 401k is 100% in the S&P 500 and I doubt I ever change it to anything else. I tried to be cute about it and I lost to the index 5 years straight.

I have a fidelity account that I trade in but I'm a firm believer in keeping your retirement stuff super simple.

I’m not. Nothing I said wasn’t factual Bryce.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

So it appears that Spencer Dinwiddie is an idiot?

I found $200 dollars in an apartment I booked on agoda . It was just in a drawer in the bed side table. Dinner was on me. **** was the largest amount of money I ever found.

 

[BIG FISH]

Stephen Curry - 6’3 190lbs
Kyrie Irving - 6’2 190lbs
Damian Lillard - 6’2 195lbs
Ja Morant - 6’3 180lbs

Somehow only one of these guys is referred to as “small” or “frail”

Crazy right. Steph strong as **** too

$117K. That’s cool.

So if BIG FISH is Bryce.
wavycrocket should be Ayesha.

 

[atlsfinest]

Certainly appears that way. I hope there's some type of review process before players put stuff on their jerseys, can't end up like some XFL HeHateMe type stuff. This could end up being a joke that makes the league look bad.

 

[wavycrocket]

I’m just a truth teller. Humbly, refer to me as WavyDamus, the NBA truther.
