I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2024, we'll start to see more market diversification. I'm hoping to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks against next year. Hope to make millions in 2024

Since risk is at an all-time high right now, perhaps you should be a little more patient and return when it has decreased. Alternatively, you can consult a trained financial expert for strategy.

In my experience, taking a picky spouse to Trader Joe’s is the best way to get them to expand their horizons. Everything there seems so appealing even if it’s out of your comfort zone. For anyone wondering, I was the picky spouse.

@Ceramic_disc 5 ай бұрын

I mostly agree with your opinion, but it would be very helpful if they write it in the headline. Otherwise many people waste their expensive time by watching the first 5 or more minutes until they suddenly notice that they already watched the whole video which is really annoying. That’s the reason why some of them get mad.

I've ordered online with Chipotle several times and the food is always horrible. I assume they have different procedures to ensure the food is made and packed in a way that is conducive for delivery or takeout. In my experience, the food is overly dry or has too few ingredients to ensure the burrito is wrapped tight and doesn't leak. I always choose to go to the restaurant and some time eat inside. It's worth it to the company to maintain that experience for people.

1:26 you guys showed Aldi but they actually don’t own Trader Joe’s. Aldi in the US is owned by Aldi Süd and Trader Joe’s is owned by Aldi Nord. They were started by two brothers who couldn’t see eye to eye so they went on their own. In Germany I think they don’t use Trader Joe’s I think they just use Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd

I'm shocked! How on earth did the WSJ make a programme about Trader Joe's without mentioning that Trader Joe's is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aldi, the privately owned giant German discount chain, which operates all over the world, including the US. Basically, what Trader Joe's is, is an upmarket Aldi. I really expected much better journalism from the WSJ
