Tomorrow could be the first day of a recession or not. I am now a financial blogger. Pay me please.

I gathered up a bag of our old jewelry and found a local smelter who pays 90% of the spot price of gold. Now I’m watching the price of gold hit new highs and trying to decide when to sell.

That reminds me: I should dump a precious metals and minerals fund I bought years ago. It has lackluster performance and high fees.

Everyone is getting rich and buying up Ferraris and don't need to shop at dollar general any more

I haven’t been at a dollar store in a long time - what can they even sell for a dollar anymore?

Also hooray for cherry picking tweeters! Dollar General is a mismanaged company.

If we wanted to compare RACE vs, say, WMT, Walmart’s up 3x over Ferrari the last 6 months

I was in a dollar tree recently and the minimum price is $1.25, which i think they are raising to $1.50. They also can price some items higher but a ton of stuff is minimum price.

I got a pair of scissors for $1.25 to leave tied to something with a string where someone could take it. They were decent, I’ve used worse. I don’t think Amazon could sell you anything that cheap these days (they will sell you an $8 pair for $5.50, but they can’t deal with shipping for $1.25).

I think dollar general does not even try to adhere to tge dollar model anymore. they ate just a cheap general store.

Totally out of my wheelhouse here so was wondering how one goes about VC funding a start up idea without having it be stolen? NDAs? I have an idea for something I feel can't miss and is a billion dollar idea. Millions of consumers with money in two markets that intertwine and are both growth industries. Also no idea how to execute it. Hell, I'd be willing to sell my idea for a paltry few million and maybe be part of the development/roll out team.

Having raised money 3 times from VCs, and invested in a few startups, they will never ever sign an NDA.

The idea is not sufficient to raise money. If it's a good idea: it's financially viable, technically possible and desired by a reasonable target market, someone is working on it already.

The funding is always dependent on the team (shorthand for execution ability) and the TAM (Total Addressable Market). A good idea is necessary but not sufficient for VC funding.

+1 to all of that.

One addition point - sometimes people will incubate an idea from day one within a VC, but that's a different motion from a pure capital raise and would require a full-time commitment from the founder(s).
