The reverse suggests its part of a “Bullion Traders” series of art bars with relatively limited mintage, but that’s all I could find. Even if you don’t want it, if you know what it is, drop me a line.

**Payment & Details**
I take Venmo (preferred), Paypal FF, and Zelle. If you'd prefer a middleman, will be at buyer's expense (and you’ll have to help me figure out the MM process). Once it's hand-delivered/scanned with USPS, I'm happy to help with issues, but buyer assumes responsibility.
If interested, post chat and DM me - I don't message first, and account has 2FA enabled.
 
Thanks,

Its taco time bitches

VT will give you the entire world market.
VTI is just the US market.
VXUS is everything outside the US market.
VOO is the S&P 500.
If I was giving advice to my younger self, I would either anchor the majority of my portfolio to VT, or I would invest in VTI and VXUS at a 70/30 split to have a little more control over how I split the US / rest of world investments. I started off trying to pick winners and all that did was take a lot of time and energy to generate lesser returns.

S.I is good ! Supreme Intelligence just like Supreme Leader King Trump

Seems the Wizard of Orange is happy to take care of Greenland's defense. How big is their armed forces? But, he is continuously whining about Canada getting a free ride. Whereas Canada does have a military, and has orders out now for around $100 billion in new military gear.
By the way, what incremental cost has the US expended in support of Canada? How much has the U.S. spent defending the Middle East, especially Israel? How much are those Middle East countries kicking in for that support by the USA? My guess is very little!

Because the U.S. wanted to be able to project force post WW2 and secure themselves better trade deals, access to resources and soft power.
President Eisenhower wanted the U.S. to be the defacto and singular military superpower so that open conflict between developed nations was less likely, and none could challenge the U.S. on their own territory. He specifically encouraged the European nations to rebuild their economies and infrastructure and to leave the defense concerns to the U.S.

Key events for AI investors:
- 9/21: SanDisk added to S&P 100
- 9/30: Micron earnings call
- 10/6: Marvell Investor Day

But with so much volatility. I started a pure S&P 500 index fund investment in 1999, with reinvested dividends and (mostly) periodic monthly investment. Down 40% lifetime in October 2002. Up 20% lifetime by end of 2007. Down 40% lifetime again in March 2009.
Just think about those type of returns (-40% after ten years??), compared to the last few years of great equity returns. Imagine how discouraging, and demoralizing, it was for us investors, watching our supposed recovery from dot bomb get absolutely eviscerated by the GFC. Patience truly was the key to investing through all that...

Yes you should learn to invest but realize that for most just buying a S&P 500 ETF monthly is the best way moving forward

Consider the industry as a whole, particularly healthcare reimbursement rates, and then decide how long you wish for your thesis to play out.
Hospitals and healthcare providers are facing compressed margins due to insurance companies and the U.S. govt paying out smaller and smaller reimbursement rates to hospitals. The ACA repeal left hundreds of thousands of additional patients without insurance, who will still need to be treated by hospitals that have to absorb the loss on their balance sheets.
With compressed margins, hospitals themselves cannot routinely make big ticket purchases on the latest surgical robotics that Stryker sells. Hospitals and clinics have become very price conscious, and that means producers will have to compete on price, not just product quality or features.
If you think margins will rebound because Styrkers customers will suddenly find additional cash laying around to buy big ticket items, then sure, it’s a good buy. How long are you willing to wait to find out?

Sure but the U.S. and China are by far larger economies than Germany and China and the U.S. are world number 1 and 2 ranked respectively manufacturing countries. Canada shares the largest land border on Earth which 80% of all Canadians live 100 miles of with the largest economy on Earth. There is zero chance the U.S. is ever not Canada's largest trading partner and therefore a zero percent chance that Canada's economy is never not reliant on aka propped up in large part by the U.S.

I remain bullish on AI stocks especially Micron & SanDisk
Recent frontier-lab controversy, including OpenAI's Hugging Face incident, high-profile
Anthropic researcher departures, and Dario Amodei's public appeal for industry restraint,
has intensified debate around AI's pace.
I view these events as noise relative to a
secular market where AI capex could surge 3x to $3tn+ by decade-end.
Demand signals remain robust: 100% network utilization, rising rental rates even for older-gen chips, and a global AI arms race pitting U.S. versus China, hyperscalers versus neoclouds, sovereign programs, and frontier labs competing for leadership.
The economic stakes are simply too large for any sustained meaningful deceleration in my opinion.

How exactly am I wrong? Let's dive into this.
The truth is that policy can change all it wants, but geography is permanent. Canada can sign all the free trade agreements it wants with Europe or Asia, but it can't move its cities, its pipelines, it's landmass or its factories away from the American border which also happens to be by far the world's largest economy and largest shared borded between two countries on Earth. The sheer convenience of a 5,500-mile shared land border which 80% of Canadians live within 100 miles of means the U.S. will always be Canada's inevitable economic partner and by far Canada's largest trading partner meaning that due to geography, Canada can never stray too far from the U.S. as I said.

Danke für das Update, das bringt Licht ins Dunkel:
Zu Union Investment 1 (2020 gekauft)**:**
Greift leider nicht mehr unter die alte Freibetragsregelung für Altbestände vor 2018. Bei Verkauf fällt also Abgeltungsteuer (25 % + Soli, abzüglich 30 % Teilfreistellung bei Aktienfonds) auf den Gewinn an. Trotz Steuer lohnt sich der Umstieg in den All-World ETF meist extrem schnell, weil die 1,5 % TER des Fonds dir auf Jahre die Rendite viel stärker auffressen als die einmalige Steuerzahlung. 
Zu LV (nach 2005)**:**
Hier gilt das Halbeinkünfteverfahren erst ab 62 Jahren und nach 12 Jahren Laufzeit. Wenn du jetzt kündigst, wird der Ertrag regulär versteuert. Prüfe mal den aktuellen Rückkaufswert vs. Gewinn. Meist ist der Cut und die Umschichtung in den ETF trotz Steuer auf lange Sicht trotzdem rentabler. 
Zu Edelmetalle**:**
Als Münzsammlung mit emotionalem Wert völlig fein. Liegen lassen und als Krisen-Rückfallebene/Sammlerwert verbuchen. 
Zu Geldmarktfond / DBX0AN bei der ING:
Läuft problemlos über das ganz normale ING-Direkt-Depot. Ist extrem flexibel: Verkaufst du einfach wie eine Aktie während der Börsenzeiten Geld ist nach Wertstellung wieder auf dem Verrechnungskonto und direkt verfügbar – dauert also höchstens 1–2 Werktage. 

Zu Tranchen beim ETF-Einstieg:
Stur terminieren (z. B. jeden 1. des Monats über 6 Monate) und eiskalt durchziehen.
Wer auf den „richtigen Moment“ wartet, verpasst historisch gesehen meist die besten Tage und steigt am Ende teurer ein. Starre Termine nehmen die Emotionen komplett raus.
Selbst wenn das Depot mal kurzfristig um -10 % oder mehr ins Minus rauscht, bloß nicht verunsichern lassen und nicht verkaufen, sondern den Sparplan einfach stur weiterlaufen lassen.
P.S. zum Thema Gebühren & Broker: Prüf vor dem Umschichten unbedingt die Kauf- und Verkaufsgebühren deiner Depots: Während du die teuren Union-Fonds direkt über die Volksbank auflösen musst (da sie nicht bei Neo-Brokern wie Trade Republic gehandelt werden), solltest du für den ETF-/Geldmarkt-Kauf bei der ING die kostenlose Sparplan-Option nutzen (einfach die Sparrate einmalig hochsetzen und danach löschen) oder für spätere flexible Verkäufe einen Wechsel zu günstigen Neo-Brokern (wie Trade Republic) abwägen.

At what point will these high fuel prices translate into lackluster earnings reports for S&P 500 companies?

Night Desks are a thing, it'd be much cheaper to do it from NY.....however, this kinda works with Money Market stuff but equities are a completely different beast.
No IB is gonna want to invest the kind of money to market make 500 different stocks for a few hours where the volumes are a tiny fraction of what exists during daylight hours.
Gold is fully Over the Counter but there isn't enough weekend volume for IBs to bother quoting that.
They definitely ain't gonna bother for some tiddlers in the S&P.

Except for all the military bases the U.S. is building there…
It’ll end up being a territory sooner or later lol

AI is now the prime driver of the U.S. stock mkt .. like it or not. These other companies are still big though and AI-automation still needs a customer ultimately.
Think we’ll see at least some AI regulation (to even taxation as the U.S. auto worker union is attempting), but there’s plenty of gains in healthcare, climate monitoring = crops, “at risk” real estate, and automation/“the IoT” and financial.. vs what still needs the human touch.

Is this his dumbass idea of a loophole? So any legislation premade for after the mid terms is moot since it would be for “AI” and not whatever the heck this is?
Or does he once again just want to name something?
Stay tuned, P.S I hate it here

It’s more that at any time in history, there will be people struggling. If you look back at history, everybody thinks the 1950s or 1960s were great. But go back to that time and you had huge fears about the depression coming back after the end of the war, and the legitimate fears of nuclear war. The inner cities started being gutted in those years in the postwar boom, as huge swaths of the population were left behind. The years that failed the 4% withdrawal rate were 1965-1969, due to the 1970s being absolutely awful. The 1980s were boom years but you also had the 1987 crash, then the S&L crisis at the end.
