Ned something to entertain ourselves with while the market is closed. :troll:


:francis:

If only everyone could get along like mlk wanted and focus on getting gains and not spreading hate. But unfortunately there's gonna be platforms out there like parlor full of hateful people. I'd prefer we celebrate instead of hate. Let's make this a great week and hope the inauguration doesn't bring any unnecessary fukkery to our investments. :salute:
Exactly. But rest assured if there is a legititmate violent protest this week, all of our portfolios will take a beating.

I was checking out sofi and the interface isn’t bad. I’m thinking of transferring my m1 securities to sofi to use as my main trading account.

breh Trump's tweets and the Parler message board are directly responsible for lunatics plotting and attempting to carry out an Insurrection on the capitol. Congress hasn't been breached like that since 1814. Not to mention much of this is an inside job...

I don't think it's an overreach by tech companies because terrorism and terroristic threats have never been allowed on any platform. Go ahead and start making threats and see how long you last on the coli... you won't. They will ban you and forget you ever existed.

That's what happened here. They don't want to be responsible for what's going on. It was all fun and games when it was a bunch of seemingly dumb rednecks with nothing but spare time. On January 6th it started to get real.

Also, it's nobody's right to have a Twitter account. Normal people have their accounts thrown in the bushes everyday. The sitting President happens to be a fukking idiot and got his taken away and they tried to give him as much leeway as possible.. He continued to violate the terms of service.

Everyone signs the terms of service agreements and then they want to forget about them and hide behind the first without actually understanding what the first protects you from.

Maybe Cathie and Chamath both don't understand what the first is and what it means and what it doesn't mean.
Twitter is well within its rights to censor whoever and whatever it wants on its site. The first amendment is a government thing. Twitter isn’t our government. People just rage on them because they are a huge platform used by millions.

As for Cathy leaning right I’m not surprised nor would I fault someone for siding with something that’s in their own best interest to side with.

I’m cool with right-winger people at work and Trump supporters. Doesn’t bother me. I can compartmentalize my political beliefs and deal with people I disagree with just fine.

Wearing your political beliefs on your sleeve isn’t something that will serve you well out in the world. Politics and religion are things the average person can’t discuss without getting upset.

Many of these companies y’all invest in are ran by people who donate to and the company itself donates to right-wing politicians. It’s in their best interest to do so.

I wouldn’t. SoFi is very basic for investing. It’s my secondary account. It’s good to have multiple brokerage accounts

I’ll stick with M1 and TD if that’s the case. I just don’t like the small trading window M1 has and moving slices around is a hassle.

Once TD allows fractional shares then I’ll consolidate everything into there.

OPTI about to lauch Uber of cleaning services.

I don't think this service will be a hit. It's kinda late and most businesses that are still open has covid-19 sanitization procedures performed by thier own employees. They should lean less on covid sanitization and more on housekeeping and on-demand garbage removal. on-demand garbage removal could siphon off a lot of the traffic craigslist gets from that.

Fidelity and schwab offer fractional investing too.

M1 is cool to me, people just gotta use it for what it is, it’s not for making hella moves. It’s easy to edit and rebalance pies, I’m fine with only one trade a day (Or you can upgrade to afternoon trading), you should be making portfolios you can stick with mid to long term in there.

they are a hassle as far as transferring money out and customer service, but it’s still a young growing company

Chamath said the same thing cathie said on his podcast “all in.” After hearing his argument I am starting to agree. When you do that you’re giving tech companies way too much power and I don’t want those out of touch cacs in Silicon Valley gate keeping their services.

Twitter and Facebook were the same tech companies saying they can’t ban trump because they’re just a platform and not moderators but as soon as democrats win congress and the president seat they flip their stance to please the party so they don’t get broken up.
Twitter admitted trump was breaking their policies. They originally said they won’t block him because he is president and whatever he says needs to be documented. Eventually they said those privileges run out on the 20th. After he lost he went full enticing violence on there.
People saying all whites are racist I don’t care as long as I get paid better not be in the locker room talking that pro black shyt. You can literally see her holdings and buy it yourself instead of letting this cave bytch charge you .

that's not what it is at all, fukking trump used the platform to get people to the capitol and storm the place, that was the last straw. at some point you have to stop enabling pure lunacy. people have been asking for them to do this for years, but it took both the right and left feeling some type of way about people running up on congress for them to finally be like, ok, this fringe speech & communities shouldn't be allowed to flourish on our sites.

that's not too much power as there are still tons of dedicated websites for qanon, trumpism, white supremacy, conspiracy theories, etc as well as news networks and sites. i can't get with people crying about the equivalent of not being able to spew stupid shyt over the PA system at madison square garden (FB, Twitter) when they still can stand on the corner with a megaphone (Breitbart, Newsmax, Parler, st0rmfr0nt, OANN) and pretty much do the same

Paradox of tolerance - Wikipedia

The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly paradoxical idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance.

Listen, it's been mentioned in here a few times in the past but a lot of these corporations, their founders, etc.. likely have some type of blood on their hands in some way and I'm not here for that..

I don't feel any type of obligation. I can say fukk Cathie Wood and still invest in ARK funds because they are still doing their job well and making me money. I am fine with that outcome. Some folks might not be but as long as they make me money I'm not going anywhere.
