And yet, I continue. Not with enthusiasm, but with the quiet persistence of a clerk who arrives at the office regardless of weather. If I were to choose one ETF to hold-indeed, the only one-I would select the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI +1.16%). Not because it sparkles. It does not. But because it endures. And endurance, in markets as in life, is often the only victory available.
Investing, whether in stocks or crypto, often hinges on a simple truth: what seems cheap might not be. A company’s stock price is but one thread in a vast tapestry of value, and the same applies to digital assets. Shiba Inu, for all its meme-like charm, exists in a liminal space between novelty and speculation. It is the financial equivalent of a carnival ride-entertaining, but not necessarily wise to invest your life savings in.
In a stunning display of crypto spite and capitalistic exuberance, Monad has allegedly secured $269 million from 85,820 subscribers-perhaps victims of coupon-clicking hypnosis-raising eyebrows and price graphs before their mainnet debuts.
Verily, the tech stocks and crypto markets have been cast into the abyss these past fortnight, a calamity wrought by the fickle expectations of a rate cut, as Charles Edwards, the wise founder of Capriole Fund, did proclaim on the platform of X. 🕊️📉 “As the market doth revert,” quoth he, “so too shall Bitcoin be carried aloft, though by what winds, none can say with certainty.”
Here’s the scoop:
On the 22nd of November, the grand strategist Michael Saylor, a man whose faith in Bitcoin is as unshakable as a Bolshevik’s belief in the revolution, took to the digital square of X to poll the masses. “Did you HODL this week?” he asked, as Bitcoin’s price plummeted like a fallen comrade in battle. The response? A resounding 77.8% of 133,156 souls said, “Yes, we held!” 🛡️✊
This union, my dear reader, promises to blend the old with the new-traditional finance and digital assets, hand in hand, in a nation where technology reigns supreme. A match as inevitable as a Russian winter, yet as intriguing as a Turgenev novel. 🌐✨
Before unveiling the merits of this particular gentleman of industry, let us first consider the broader class of Dividend Kings. In the grand ballroom of the S&P 500, where many stocks perform their lively quadrilles of fluctuating payouts, only a select few maintain the decorum of unbroken dividend increases for fifty years or more. Among these, Parker-Hannifin distinguishes itself not merely by longevity, but by the quiet excellence of its 69-year streak-a record that places it in the upper echelon of financial propriety.
That inflow of new capital, however, appears limited at the moment, creating uncertainty around Ethereum’s next move. It’s like trying to fill a swimming pool with a garden hose while everyone’s distracted by a squirrel. 🐿️
Market behaviour in the mid-cap digital asset world has been as unpredictable as a thunderstorm in the Sahara. Driven more by macroeconomic expectations than asset-specific catalysts, these erratic movements have shaped the course of WIF as well. Intraday fluctuations have offered fleeting opportunities for active traders while simultaneously throwing more risk into the cauldron. How delightful! The conditions, naturally, call for disciplined positioning, as uncertainty reigns supreme in the crypto sector. ⚖️
