I got talked into a pyramid scheme by an old partner. Luckily, my inner-alarm would not stop ringing and I finally summoned the nerve to bail out. Luckily I did it early enough in the scheme where they just gave me money back (enough suckers were still rushing in). Eventually the whole thing collapsed and two rows from the top of a 16 level pyramid walked away with something. I know it's not comparable, but the same alarm bells are ringing for me here. i did the same thing like 25 years ago... got talked into a pyramid scheme by my buddy... we each take a grand and head over to some dentist's office (after hours) and there's like a hundred people there getting their names on teh triangles and paying money... we're supposed to come back the following week to see how far up the pyramid we moved... for the whole week i'm sick to my stomach that i'm gonna lose that grand. so the next meeting comes and we're driving there and the whole way we're talking about how long its gonna take to get paid, etc... i'm not telling my buddy i'm gonna bail until he sees me get that cash in my hand. he ended up losing his grand and we never really talked about it after So, I'm trying to figure out... you and your homie bought in, and you got a refund the next week? But he didn't? Howd you get your $ back? |

Now imagine it on the international level with a currency that is is not based on anything other than internetz/interwebz/tomfoolery. |

The new money is gonna be crypto and cash will be illegal and worthless soon so its good to go ahead and cash in. I wanna shop in the silk isle with shakin |

Yes. Now imagine it on the international level with a currency that is is not based on anything other than internetz/interwebz/tomfoolery. ok boomer HA!!!! omgbro NAILED IT So shake, what you feel like between Bitcoil and Theta? And are there others?! My concern is... when they crash the dollar and outlaw any type of cash/physical currency, whats to say they won't be like , "ok bitcoin, Theta, omega, etc all crypto is banned across the globe, the entire globe now operates on the same digital currency that we designed, and this is the big reset" Or honestly it will be before that because world power will NOT allow new independent currency that they cannot fully control. Thats why cash is being phased out and instead of made illegal, just make it worthless and save the day with Gatebucks or something |

cryptos are here to stay. the window to create generational wealth is not. A message that might resonate with much younger men than me...or not. Good luck. This. I have no idea what I would do if I was younger but at my age its not even an option. Im just waiting for the cold hand of death to take me. And for the Golden Girls come on the TV. That Blanche! What a hoot. |

But he didn't? Howd you get your $ back? i knew if i told him i was bailing he would've spent the whole ride busting my balls and tryna talk me out of it. i also din't want to start a negative vibe wherest cold feet spread, people asked for their money back before i was able to get mine back. we had all given our thousand to the magic triangle fund the week before. i realized that if i hadn't spent the week finding new people to put their money in, likely not too many others were doing that either. so i waited until the guys running it were shilling the tentative noobs in the room with their "there's no risk you can get your money blah blah" and i was like "okay i want my grand back" right in front of the whole crowd. dude was kinda pantsed into digging into the cash sack and giving me my cash back or scaring a roomful of rubes. i didn't care i just wanted my cash back so the future mrs. shakin would stop being pissed and start seksing me again |

What a hoot. yeah frankly i don't need it, but the world seems to be shittening down pretty rapidly, so i'm trying to leave a big stack of fuckyou money for my sons. that's really the deal. if i hit the right milestones before then, i'll take some profits, buy the most insane motorhome on the market and live out my days seeing the country with my dog and mrs. shakin. |

BORING IS BEAUTIFUL: HORMEL FOODS - IS YOUR PORTFOLIO BEING SPAMMED?
📈On January 1, 1990, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of Hormel Foods stock and reinvested dividends, your stock would now be worth $329,042 (as of 1/28/2021). That averaged a 20.5% annual return.
📈Had you purchased an additional $1,000 of stock every year on January 1 (or the first trading day of the year), you would now have $1,603,388 (19.66% annual return).
📈 Had you continued to add annually, the annual dividend would be approximately $31,105 or 97% yield on cost ($31,105 divided by $32,000 total investment).
Identify companies that you intend to own forever that people continue to use regardless of what is happening in the world.
NOTE: Hormel Foods is the maker of Spam.
