@don_pipone dammit, I’ve been to Munich too. Just haven’t seen it from above ….. and it’s been about 8 years. God I loved my visits to Germany

@Rustygate37 seems like you are in need for another visit

@Tago-Mago how kind of you. But yeah, it would have been way too easy for you.

Anyone thinking about buying SpaceX stock? Thoughts on trying to get in immediately or waiting a week or two? I'm tempted, but feel that there will be a decent drop from the IPO and should start climbing in a month or two when everything starts to settle.

I feel the same about the man, but the company and the Starlink system of satellites has made our lives much easier than what we were dealing with before. Living in a rural area, internet was spotty at best with download speeds of 20 Mbps at best and upload of 1-2Mbps...With Starlink I now have 200-400 Mbps download and 20-50 Mbps upload. It has made running a business from home much easier...especially when you consider some of the files sizes we deal with on a routine basis.

I agree, and maybe it will be a good investment, who knows. But it would not fit into my investment strategy which is more conservative, dividend related aso., I am a Munger/Buffet fanboy… and I would simply not invest into an IPO in general.
Do we need a stockmarket thread?

@Chap I wonder about that sometimes...
We are conservative as well, but on occasion I see something that sparks my interest, then I remember my father-in-laws advice that there is no such thing as easy money (especially fast easy money). Also, never gamble more than you're willing to lose...he wasn't a gambler
I still miss him and his advice.

That’s all you need to know about investing… time in the market beats timing the market is my way, I don’t have to jump on the hypes
God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere. Willie Nelson
