"State of Fear"

Climate has been changing since the beginning of time, otherwise how would you explain the Ice Ages, etc.  Stop the fear mongering to support your political bias. 

I'm beyond sick of mainstream legacy media with their biased and political agenda focused so-called news. Their "demonizing" of Trump has created a "Trump Derangement Syndrome" that is nothing short of mass-induced brainwashing. 

They can't just disagree with him, they have to create a "State of Fear" induced mania. 

That is how both George Orwell in his book "1984" and Michael Crichton in "State of Fear" both predicted this fear-based dystopian segment of society. 


GARP Stocks

 Investors typically view growth and value as two totally distinct equity types.

But there's a style that seeks to identify both characteristics in a single stock. Growth at a reasonable price, or GARP, was popularized by Peter Lynch, the legendary former manager of Fidelity Magellan Fund (FMAGX). During his 13 years at the fund's helm, ending in 1990, the fund returned an annualized 29.2%, more than double the S&P 500's performance during that period.

The key to identifying GARP stocks is to screen for stocks with higher growth rates than the broader market and lower-than-average valuations.

In its GARP screen, Fidelity filters for criteria including:

  • Quarterly and yearly earnings growth.
  • Earnings growth forecasts.
  • Price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio.
  • Price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio.
  • Security price.
  • 90-day average trading volume.

Environmental Studies Major.

Well, at least it's not an "Environmental Studies" major, which is basically activism training and has very little to do with Biology. So that's something.

Save your money and get a REAL Biology degree, not a degree in activism!

Forgiveness.

Forgiveness Is a Gift You Give Yourself: One of the most powerful moments in the audiobook was Livingston’s perspective on forgiveness. He had seen patients carry grudges for years, holding onto anger like a shield. But all it did was make them bitter. Forgiveness, he explained, isn’t about letting the other person off the hook. It’s about freeing yourself from the weight of resentment. It’s not easy. But it’s necessary. Because in the end, anger chains you to the past. And life is too short to stay stuck there.
