In the wake of Google's 12% drop ($400b), I was reading about bubbles on Motley Fool and found the portfolio advice shown in this screenshot. The article includes dynamic stock tickers embedded in the text. The article recommends protecting yourself from bubbles by holding such stocks as AMZN (-4.25%) and GOOG (-12.29%). Thanks, Motley Fool!

‘Easy come easy go’? Easy to say if you’re investing extra cash, but if your entire retirement is tied up in a 401k, where you only have options like ‘25 year whatever and such’ is a bit disheartening….

Good thing there is any kind of safety net!

…oh….say what….? Nothing at all? Healthcare is what….? Hmmm…. Well, guess I’ll die. 🤷‍♀️

    Invest in US senators. Heard there's a pretty good ROI on those.

    I'm not so sure, I think they only really payout to the highest bidder. And you can be outbid at any time before the payout. At least with listed stocks you get some info in audited financial statements.
    If it's your first time buying Senator, please make sure to request their audited accounts before you invest.

    Even Stringer Bell got repeatedly fleeced by Clay Davis.
