  • Nothing is surefire, but I’ve seen the S&P 500 informally considered the baseline, especially when comparing actively managed funds. If you’re paying more and under performing the S&P 500, even if making a profit, you’re loosing out.

    With regard to the point about everyone being millionaires, from a macro economic lens, all the dividends you receive from investing in the S&P 500 is because they’re charging more than enough for a product to cover operating costs, business expenses, etc and still have enough to pay out share holders. This means someone somewhere is loosing out, and that money is being transferred from them to you through the companies.














  • I don’t disagree with you, the tax charges are serious, but it did start as a political witch hunt. He was investigated because of his last name, not by impartial checks in the system. In all fairness, it is similar to the investigations into Trump’s falsified business records in NY, and that may have likely gone unnoticed had it been anyone but Trump.

    It’s an important distinction that the Weiss special counsel was clearly started by Trump to go after a political rival who he was running against in an election, and when they couldn’t get anything on Joe Biden, they pivoted to Hunter. It is a witch hunt on a higher level in my opinion. Maybe the ends don’t justify the means?


  • Do any of the pages in the directory link to other websites? It could be that if you link to a website that is using Google analytics, it may see that referrer header when the person using chrome opened the link. If it knew that your site didn’t have links to the third party site before, maybe that triggered a refresh.

    You could test this by making a page linking to CNN or another site which is using Google analytics, and using Firefox (without anything that would block Google Analytics) and click on the link on your site to the other site. if the Google bot checks your site within 10 seconds then you could rule out chrome as the culprit.
