...and yet the Gold that I own is now worth more than your overpriced Corvette TheProwlerT he Prowler.

And in 5 years, it will be worth at least twice as much as your Car Prowler.

And that's by doing nothing. I just watch them go up in price while your car depreciates by the day, Prowler.

You are very lucky to live in Canada DKG DKG.

I know your grandfathers didn't have it so easy.
Did they even manage to survive the Korean War, DKG?

Apparently the devastation was so severe from that War it completely flattened the country of your birth, DKG.

You're very lucky, very lucky indeed DKG.

Yes, he does. My load.

In my Grandfather's day, people like Thiel would have been smashed to a pulp and beaten up in the streets.

His kind had to actually hid the closets and live with their mothers in order to avoid being decimated.

I suppose that's where that term 'hiding in the closet' meant.

It was much tougher time.
A Brutal era.
An Extremely Barbaric time for people like him.

There were a lot more people like LokmarL okmeer around back in my Grand Dad's time, eh?

Quote from: JOE on July 04, 2024, 09:37:25 PMMy mistake.

Actually I just checked my Grandfather's diary & it was indeed CPR not Canadian National.

This is what he wrote TheProwlerT Prowler:

"When we arrived in Kenora Ontario, after an adventerous trip, we both secured jobs at the C.P.R roundhouse. The C.P.R. Roundhouse at Kernora was mainly a service and maintenance depot of locomotove steam engines which were brough in on a regular basis for servicing.

"The first job that I secured was that of being a locomotive engine wiper. I cleaned the locomotive inside and out twelve hours a day at sixteen cents an hour. We did not receive any days off and therefore we worked every day of the month."

This was in the year 1916. He was just 16 years old and he made 16 cents per hour. 16 cents x 72 hours per week = $11.52

So Grandad made just a little over $10 per week.

This what $10 looked like in those days Prowler:



So of course, $10 in 1916 was worth a lot more than it is today.

Today, the actual gold weigh of that coin is worth $1650 Canadian or close to $1200 USD.

However, it is unlikely that Granddad ever saw that much gold...ever.

I believe he passed on a gold plated watch to my sister which he cherised til he passed away.

You have got to be the biggest retard on the Internet.

I just checked...

My trading account went up $21,694 in value today.

I have over $36K in dividends to invest.

I could buy your gold 100 times over, Senile JOEJ.

Quite trying to compete with me in terms of Net Worth, Senile JOEJ.

It is stupid.

josephine struggles real fukin hard to be relevant. It aint happened yet.

My buddy is thinking about getting a C8 Stingray with the Z51 package. If he does, he's gonna take it racing at the same track I do. I hear those cars do real good on a road course with a decent set of tires.

 I'm waiting to see how the economy will go in the next year LokmarL okmeer

I don't think it's a good time to invest at the moment.

I gotta couple hundred thousand to invest parked in cash but I'd rather wait until after the US elections since it appears to be propped up by excessive stimulus spending.

Theres no sense buying assets now if they could be worth less next year. RE is going down almost everywhere including Vancouver where this rarely happened before

When RE falls that's not only an indication of a recession but the stock market may not be far behind. When the value of homes go down people spend less because they feel poorer

If parts the stock  market are hot this year it likely wont be next year. Good year is usually followed by a poor or mediocre one especially one propped up artificially high like it is right now. 2021 saw a resurgence in stocks after they fell during the pandemic. But 2022 was poor followed by a surge in 2023 to now.

It's only a hunch but that's the way I see it so I'm mostly parked in cash at the moment.

Buy assets when they are cheaper next year. That's what I intend to do...Lokmeer
