With the aging baby boomer population, I’ve read that healthcare companies are a solid investment. Any suggestions on companies and/or technologies to look into?

Biotech companies are an interesting buy. Speculative for the most part, but could pay off later. I bought a decent amount of moderna at $14 a share. Only reason is because I read about the company and think they’re interesting. They also tanked a bit after their IPO, so I doubled down because I’m a gambling man!

I don’t like healthcare stocks because the cost of healthcare is increasing, which means bankruptcy for people without insurance. Don’t know exactly how those things fit together, but I think prices will keep rising because of this and the cat and mouse games going on with health insurance companies.

Healthcare for all is interesting - I’m not sure how that would end up affecting healthcare stocks if one of those crazies gets elected 😆

As for something like CVS, I don’t think they’re a good buy. You can buy most of the crap they have online or at walmart for half the price.

I’m just rambling now and had a few wines so I’ll read this over in the morning to see if it makes sense 😃

3) Is it not clear that electoral campaigns sponsored by corporations are problematic for a democratic society ?

4) Everyone says “get an education” but that’s impossible with high costs. Why not make tuition free of charge ?

As the job market recovers and tech talent becomes especially sought-after, some job seekers can be at a crossroads.

Fledgling startup or a big, established company: where would you work?

Working at a startup helps you pick up new cross-functional skills, forces you to dig deeper into your reserves, and allows leadership opportunities.

Big companies typically have a more structured path for career growth, offer benefits and perks to employees, and are perceived as more stable.

Thoughts?

Do people tend to age out of wanting to FIRE?

In your 20s-30s, you don’t know much, you’re told what to do, you have few financial resources so you are tied to your job. Under these circumstances it makes perfect sense why you would want to FIRE asap.

But eventually you advance up the ladder, you are now the boss and your people do all the grunt work. You also have built up expertise which makes the job easier. And you are making the best money of your life. FIRE is no longer so pressing.
