    Question; let's theorize that a second recession is on the way. Looking at BOA, I don't know if they'd be able to survive yet another one without a total government bailout. Now, with this in mind, what would it mean for the shareholders? Would we get dividends (or an otherwise nice payday)?

    Should I be trying to get as many shares in this week as possible? I'm assuming you only get the bonus in this situation if you've been holding for a certain period of time.

    Thanks and sorry if this question is silly

    Why waste your time on a dream when you can buy tech stocks and make more money??

    Because I'm trying to position myself to take full advantage of what's coming. Tech stocks will dip for a minute before they recover again. From what I understand, a bailout is a good thing for investors and I want a piece of it, if possible

    I'm still invested in several tech stocks

    GE, too. No way they survive a second recession this year and also no way the govt doesn't save them

    Does Berkshire Hathaway own enough of Bank of America to help seriously short it, if this hypothetical second recession of mine really happens?

    I hope I'm using "short" correctly, and I hope the question overall makes sense. I'm trying to understand the significance of BH owning so many shares and how it relates to my earlier questions

    Warren Buffet is old time investing. Don't pay attention to what he is doing. Pay attention to what David Portnoy is doing.

    what persianrugs said is right

    to earn that large of returns you have to get into crypto projects when they are still pretty small or when they dip but also like he said you have to look for good projects working products with fundamental that actually have potential to explode

    you need to have a decent understand of the crypto market though

    something that has to be fully understand about crypto is that every 2-4 years things will start to really explode and it all goes 10x in a few months

    it sounds like you bought in at the top of the last cycles bubble, a new one is forming though.. there maybe some major corrections before it happens though or it could be days away you never really know that's honestly why buying dips and small cap projects is important

    you really want to have like some part ETH, another smaller part BTC and then the rest of your portfolio should just be a mix of different tokens that you think have potential to explode

    right now defi tokens are really exploding, you should look into defi yield farming tokens

    some tokens I picked up this week are yfvalue, curve & balancer

    I buy tokens via uniswap or balancer with ether tokens

    I've also lost 1000s of dollars before in projects so just keep that in mind also when your investing in any of these things

    some years I've lost tons in crypto but if the project actually is a solid idea it seems to come around a lot of the time

    Dumb question but do you try to avoid taxes on profits? How do you get some of that profit back into cash in a bank account- or do you never do that. Is being tracked by the gov unavoidable when selling crypto for usd? I’m a bit curious on the buying and selling process, especially of more obscure coins

    It’s fun. Better than sports betting.

    But that’s what it is. It’s gambling.

    You need to determine if you are investing for the long term or if you are just trying to gamble. Tossing a $100 here and there is alright. Could turn that into $1k with the right play. But i wouldn’t go putting $10k into options like WSB autists do

    like 60% of my wallet is a long term hold of ether so I don't have to pay taxes on that till I sell and once I do I only have to pay the long term rate which is very low

    I pay taxes when I make money on a random token and sell it for another token

    I also save a lot in taxes by recording all the tokens I loss money on lol

    you can find plenty of people that use stablecoins to hide money but honestly that seems pointless, what's good is money if you can't ever spend it

    also f*** going to tax court
