I don’t get why even the most reputable financial news still try to attribute market moves to people. It’s not individual investors who are in control of day-to-day moves anymore, it’s algorithms.

Trading is all about moving dollars from one person’s pocket into another. These algorithms are built by firms that are funded by a probably small and overlapping group of extremely wealthy and/or connected people like govt officials. If the general public doesn’t participate in the facade of the short term market, these people wouldn’t be able to grow their quick profits from swinging and manipulating the market, and the same huge pool of endowment, trusts, etc money would just keep exchanging in the same set of hands. That is why they want to keep pushing the idea that the short term markets are fair when in reality they are nothing but that for retail investors

This is not law-related and I’m sorry but could use advice! I am 27 and have been single since I was 22 which makes me feel weird, especially because my longest relationship didn’t last a year.

I don’t want to write off dating, but am terrified! Is my situation super weird? Any advice? 😭

No promotion has been offered to me to upgrade my existing Venture card to a Venture X card.

Should I wait until that promotion is offered to me? Or would it be dumb to apply for a Venture X card separately and a) hold both cards or b) close out the original Venture card.

I'm a noob with bonds, can someone break down ibonds for me in idiot proof language?

Per what I'm reading the interest rate is 9.62% if I buy through Oct 2022. It's a 30 year investment, but I can withdraw after 5 years without 3 month penalty.

Questions:
(1) Is the interest rate fixed or variable over the term of the bond?
(2) Assuming 9.62% is annual return but definitely want to confirm 🤣
(3) Do most people actually keep it in 30 years? I'm looking at 5 years for now and re-assess
