Reading Time: 2 minutes First a few tips (not the tip as in the money) I learned since I drove Uber.

Reading Time: < 1 minute And my goal is to have 40,000 shares eventually (before I fully retire). I realized I have 400 shares recently as I noticed my IRA account recently received $194 quarterly dividend (48.5 cents per share). 我有四百股 $KO: 因为我注意到前两天发了$194 的红利. 伯克希尔有四亿股:巴菲特代表股东拿了$194 m 的红利。 So, if I need to retire on the dividends from Coca-Cola stocks.

Reading Time: < 1 minute I watched a bit of “Growing Pains” on Apple TV last night: the 2nd show that has the Bruce Springsteen show tickets.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Or in bubble territory. Personally I think so. I think this is a bit like the AI right now.
