- I read the Berkshire one every year. -- nm - Reagen Feb 11, 08:27 1
  - That’s probably the annual shareholder report, which is different. Useful information, though, probably moreso than the prospectus for operating companies which do not generally get updated. -- nm* - znufrii Feb 11, 08:29
- Well seeing as the pandemic forced me to take out those investments... -- nm - Qale Feb 11, 08:26

        if you can do it without it costing you additional money, sure, but beyond that, it's not worth it. just pay for the car with a credit card! -- nm - colin Feb 11, 09:05 1
        
        almost no dealership will let you pay fully with a card due to fees. the max I've ever been able to put on a card is $5k. -- nm - amanda jeans Feb 11, 09:17

        Yup, lack of recent loan information :/ -- nm - Meg Feb 11, 08:24 1
        
        One advantage of the libraries being closed is that I'm not using my credit cards for their purchases. That loses me a couple of points. - Meg Feb 11, 08:27

- 😡😡 Interesting to see an article actually get most of this right. The only thing that's off is that this started years ago, not last year during - Krusty Feb 11, 08:19 6
  - Agreed on the timing as this has been an issue for much longer. I hazard the guess that it was an issue for live event tickets before it was sneakers - JD Feb 11, 08:26 1
    - Oh right. It definitely started with tickets and moved to other areas from there. Streetwear and sneakers are where I noticed it years ago but - Krusty Feb 11, 08:29
  - I find it hilarious that there's people that are like, "markets! Markets are perfect for everything!" "Cool, let's stress test that." "Aaaaaaa" -- nm - Reagen Feb 11, 08:25 1
