You could do what i did a few years back. Have a purposely very low income year, I went and traveled and captured zero gains one year. Then I converter from sep to roth up to the marginal rate of 40k (or wherever the change was then) plus standard deduction paying 12% tax on the converted portion.... that was at age 37. However to answer your question, imo, what I did is the only time where it clearly makes sense.

For anyone who's posted companies that meet the criteria, thanks, I'm looking at them. Haha, wondered why so many responses on this thread finally. As a 42 yr old 6% body fat climber I've spent a lot of time on diet. Carb windows, the smaller the better for weight loss. Low carb, shoot for 500 carb cals a day, if your training, most of them should be post workout. Fiber doesn't count. For whatever reason (right brain vs left brain), it takes a long time for carb cravings to dissipate, 1-5 years. Micro biome, how poorly you count carb cals, exercise patterns etc. If you ate zero carbs, you could probably eat 5000 cals a day wo weight gain. Try it if you don't believe. You'll have a hard time replacing muscle glycogen though. Once or twice a week, grab a coffee in the morning and do 3 hours of cardio wo eating, insta-ketosis. It's easier if you do something that grabs your attention (dirt biking for me). I don't even notice I'm hungry until about 30 minutes post workout. Find a sport that is fun, and makes you strong, weights are boring as hell, but obviously they work, not sure you can maintain it for decades though. For me that's rock climbing, local gyms everywhere now for easy beginner intro. This is one of the biggest keys most miss imo to lifelong fitness. It's all about finding a passion, you'll probably suck for awhile, your body can do much more than your mind believes under better circumstances. eg, I took up dirt biking in 2016, crazy work out, you'd be surprised.... it's a choose your difficulty thing. If you increase fats alot, don't increase meats alot, go for seeds, nuts, avocados, nut butter bars, oils, etc. Your average, median, mode, brain power will be higher, without the highest highs unfortunately, when very low carb/sometimes keto, I'll call it. Eating carbs makes you hungry, the higher the glycemic response, the hungrier you'll get non linearly. You want a high glycemic response post workout only. All of this will reduce inflammation/accelerate recovery/improve mental acuity. As my diets improved so has my attention span. Which will help you get more of everything you want.

As the title suggests, which companies are closest to guaranteed to grow earnings 10%/year or more next ten years? Key word being guaranteed. Yes, obviously no such thing, you get it. 10% avg per year, the probability is extremely high absent WMDs. Current valuation irrelevant. I'll start -fb, goog, nflx, chtr, mkl, kkr, bld, baba, amzn. Brk is a maybe, probability high, maybe less than 10 though.

Anyone notice Ajit's hands shaking, especially towards the beginning? I wonder if it's a physical condition. If not, I'd say it's a good omen that he's invested enough in his performance and at his age/wealth (in the agm) that he displayed nervousness.

Having read many of these types of books, namely, those looking retrospectively at someone/something that worked well, they miss the salient point imo. The point that's missed, amongst the good and logical points, is simply that what happened was that the idea/person was doing something different than most of the people were at that time, not now. Related see Halo effect. It's not that what's being espoused doesn't work, it's that what tipped the scale was the originality.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_altruism#:~:text=Effective altruism encourages significant charitable donation.&text=GWWC was founded in 2009,of his income to charity. Also, see Sam Harris podcast. I'll at the ten percent level, which will increase as my wealth does. It's really no sweat. I could care less about anything beyond an upper middle class life. It's clear to me having lived below and above that in terms of spending... the sweet spot is quite low... very low if you design your life as such.

52% Personal, 68% retirement IRA's, retirement was more invested throughout. Short version, traded march-june mainly, no margin. Next, went all in brk, holding just a couple others as well, at 178 10% of which was OOM Calls which were subsequently sold for a quick 55%. Basically did nothing after brk, told my partner to let me know if the brk price went up or down 20% and forgot about stocks.

Another great book I've read this year. Hmmm, basically he does a good job of demonstrating how what's required to succeed in all the things most care about caring about are over the heads of the general populace, % wise. He picks up where Piaget left of with the cross culturally dependable levels of meaning making. He breaks down 5 orders of consciousness or meaning making where all higher orders transcend and include the previous levels. He believes that only 25% IIRC of the USA populace are currently at the 4th order, which is what's required in the modern, W.E.I.R.D countries. Many examples are given, making it a relatively easy read. As you read about the levels.... some may be over you head. Seems to map onto the world pretty well for me.

"Cimpress is working to make use of government support programs globally, as appropriate. In many locations in which we operate and employ many of our team members, including in Europe and Canada, there are specific COVID-19 payroll support programs to mitigate a substantial portion of employee costs. Additionally, in the U.S., we expect to receive a material cash benefit due to the changes in U.S. tax law made by the CARES Act, including the ability to carryback net operating losses to prior years." Didn't know about that. New opportunity set.
