The Isolated Blurt Thread IV: A New Hope

[Fata Morgana]

Really? Yay!

I can't wait. I loved the first series. And you were so bang on about Gillian Anderson. Hawtness personified. She's like a fine wine that woman.

I know me too! It was one of the best.

Oh god in that she was so sexy. I've always liked her (never a fan of X Files show though) but that role was perfect for her. Like Jane Tennison for Helen Mirren, she bloody owned it.

Is this the face of Hollywood's next leading actress?

I predict she is going to make it big in the next decade.

It is un-goddamn-fucking-believable.

As of 28 February, 2014, the S&P 500 has produced the following average annual COMPOUND total returns:

1 Year:     25.37%
3 Years:    14.35%
5 Years:    23.00%
10 Years:    7.16%

These are absolutely staggering figures.


That means if you'd put $1.00 into the S&P 500 index on 1 March, 2009, you'd now have $2.82 (if you'd reinvested the dividends and there were no taxes).


This is one of the most manipulated stock markets in history. By keeping interest rates at what is essentially zero, "Helicopter" Ben Bernanke basically forced investors into the stock market.


Very, very few professional investment managers, mutual fund managers or investors have matched the S&P 500's returns over this 5-year or 3-year period.



As Warren Buffett has repeatedly stated (in one form or another):

...Let me add a few thoughts about your own investments. Most investors, both institutional and individual, will find that the best way to own common stocks is through an index fund that charges minimal fees. Those following this path are sure to beat the net results (after fees and expenses) delivered by the great majority of investment professionals...​

Speaking of which— tomorrow, 1 March, Berkshire Hathaway releases its Annual Report for 2013 along with Buffett's Annual Letter To Shareholders. A lot of people will spend a couple of hours reading it. Over the years, Buffett's annual letters have been an extremely rich and valuable resource for those seeking to learn the essence of the investment art.

Cam on Modern Family cracks me up

My friend designed the new look. Him and the owner are good friends. Hope the menu doesn't change!

"Him and the owner"? Are you originally from Kentucky?

Ohio. Now Fuck off.

The cheeseburger pizza was pretty good. Pickles on a pizza takes some mental effort to get past, but I'd order again.

Nice, quiet night at home? Sure! Until I have to rush my mom to the ER to find out she's had a heart attack.

And there's a fucking spider on a ceiling tile in this ER.

Oh I hope she's ok. Does she have a will?

Want me to see if I can squeeze your name into it quick?

 

[Killswitch]

Want me to see if I can squeeze your name into it quick?

Well I was considering if you need to make any last minute requests or voice recordings on your phone....before your siblings get there ....lol

Seriously though I hope she's ok and you're spider free.

 

[Noor]

Wow, sorry Wings
I hope she'll be okay quickly.

 

[Wings]

Thanks guys, truly. She will be fine, thankfully minor but definitely a concern.


And the will is ironclad, notarized and on file with the courts, I don't mess around with those sorts of things.

Guess who has found the 4 pairs of the wool socks missing since November in her car today?
No sign of the heavy mittens or over mittens yet

I particularly enjoyed the penile shaped human.

 

[crazychemgirl]

I did as well

Is she a big-boned Choctaw, no. She is a delicate-boned blonde Italian mom. The only true resemblance we share is our eyes.

So you took after your dad, or the milkman?

I've seen some of your pics. You don't come off as big.

My dad, yes. I'm not old enough to be the milkman's kid.
