Cryptocurrency Volatility 2
Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. The last few weeks we’ve talked about Gambling and Bitcoin and stuff. Today I’m going to a short post about Cryptocurrency Volatility. In my previous posts I highlighted that cryptocurrency is at its core, the highest stakes of gambling.

The Long Bet
Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays. Today, I’m doing a short detour from my Let’s Gamble posts. In my previous posts, I’ve talked about The Philosophy and Index Funds and how as a Boglehead I believe that is the best way to invest. You may also recall that I mentioned “The Long Bet” between Warren Buffett and a Hedge Fund. Where is that now? Let’s talk about Warren Buffett’s Long Bet. What is the “The Long […]

Apple iPhone X 2
Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again. As you may already know, Apple unveiled the new iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and X yesterday. For those who were following along, most of what was said wasn’t a surprise because of the many leaks which occurred. Today I’m going to give my “Average Joe’s Review of the iPhone X”. First a little history… My first cellphone was in college which was a Motorola StarTAC, this was back in […]
