    14 year old has her first job and I want to start her Roth account. Plan is she puts in what she wants and we will match 20%. Fidelity has a Roth for kids but has anyone run into something they would recommend over it?

    Have a buddy who is in the mortgage industry. He bought a bunch of calls on DRV which is a triple leveraged inverse ETF on real estate. Pretty sure he’s up somewhere near a quarter mil over the past week and a half.

    Think I'm in the same boat. I've kind of been mentally targeting 3300-3400 on the S&P as the bottom for a while now.

    Really dumb question here, but if a company is publicly traded, do the outstanding shares always represent 100% ownership (insiders, privately held and institutional), or are there situations where a company can retain partial ownership completely separate from the outstanding shares?

    I believe outstanding shares represents 100% and float shows the publicly available shares, with the gap representing the stock insider ownership, is that correct? I have a follow up question, but want to make sure I have this right before asking.

    Ok great thank you.

    follow up hypothetical.

    If an S-1 says "following this, private equity ABC corp will own 20% and XYZ corp will own 30% of common stock", then outstanding shares are 115M and float is 100M, I assume the ownership of ABC and XYZ is represented in the 100M float number? But the market cap includes the full 115M which includes inside ownership and the full 100% ownership of the company?

    Drunkenmiller advocates for reducing "entitlement" spending. Why is that his solution to a purported debt problem? Why is it not tax increases?

    What does this have to do with interest rates associated with debt servicing due to entitlement spending?

    That's what I called alarmist.

    The debt issue is much larger than entitlements. Plenty of resources laying out the math on that.

    Did you just not read the rest of it? He plainly acknowledges we operate at a deficit, and then runs through in detail why "just issue more debt" is problematic.
