A weekly thread to discuss financial matters - from personal all the way up to global.
Ground Rules
- Remember that we're all just Internet randos. Don't bet your life savings on a hot tip from this thread.
- Keep culture war in the culture war thread. Yes, global events may impact our personal finances, but that does not mean we have to incessantly harp on culture war aspects here. If you are going to discuss it, please stick to the practical impacts of it on an individual level.
- Be kind. Remember that everyone here comes from different circumstances. We all have different resources available and different risk tolerances.
- Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Better is better. Celebrate people when they take a step up and work to move their finances in the right direction. Don't flame out because they haven't followed what you consider the optimal path. Everybody has to start somewhere.

Notes -
What do you think is an appropriate P/E for the following companies? I was looking at them this week and I was a little surprised at how things have crept upwards this year.
I didn't even realize WM was publically traded. I presume they do far more than just bin pickup?
Also seems odd to me that TSMC is so low, relatively speaking. I'd have assumed them to be ahead of Walmart at the very least.
Also, competitor context would be interesting to see -- Boeing's vs Airbus, for instance.
But all this is why I fully admit I am not capable of playing the markets, and stick to my dumb index funds.
WM does more than just residential pickups, but it's all trash. I have some shares for years because they've historically been low volatility and offer a good dividend.
