Don't thank me, thank a Biden voter.

Market killing me. I need Biden to attack Big Tobacco so my alternative cigarette stock pays off.

Literally or figuratively? Need to know in order to determine what size “thank you” bouquet I should send to Brandon.

You should have bought MO. It owns the e-cigarette JUUL and still improved. YTD +17%. 6.49% dividend.

BTI also good. +9% YTD. 7.11% dividend.

I am hoping XXII gets to sell the only menthol smoke in the nation as they claim they might be able to do.

This is just variance.

The only time to pay attention to your portfolio, assuming it is sound, is when it is time to cash out, otherwise you'll be like a dog chasing its tail.

Nothing lasts forever.

What goes up must come down.

Gotta play the long game with investments.

Here's the new Poopypants press secretary. Anything's an improvement over that lying you know what that's leaving.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Now that I'm retired I've successfully resisted the urge to day trade.

I'm tempted though.

But it could get expensive ...

Gee, the glass is always half empty for you
Anyway
On the bright side
Is Ohtani a beast or what
A really incredible performance today at Fenway where Babe Ruth played
He pitched 7 scoreless innings with 11 strikeouts and he went 2 for 4 at bat with a RBI double
Ohtani pretty much won the game himself
What a beast
