In my job I help discharge plan 1000+ people a year and have seen every social situation and aspect you can imagine. I'd say in about 20% of cases, siblings dislike each other and routinely fight over end of life and care issues for the parents that usually amounts to some sort of monetary issue such as keeping mom/dad alive because one of the kids lives off the parents. Or becoming the parents financial POA and burning through the parents money while the other siblings go to court to have such affairs stopped. Or many times arguing over who gets what upon death. It's pretty ugly and it's a very high percentage of siblings who do not get along and haven't gotten along for most of their lives.

So having another kid because you think a child needs a sibling to get along with, isn't always what it's made out to be. I am the sole decision maker regarding my parents and their will. There will be no fighting over these decisions when they are older or fighting over the inheritance.

I've kind of wondered what it would be like to have a brother. I have one sibling, a sister, and we get along well. However, we're very different in many ways so I wouldn't describe us as close. Amiable, but not close. Would I have been closer to a brother? Or would we have a more competitive relationship? I think maybe I'm glad I don't have a brother, but perhaps I'm underestimating the upside.

You guys actually have me longing for some AMC discussion

Yeah, my bad.

ADM and Bunge had big days yesterday. Both of them went to the top of the previous high and stopped. We'll see what happens. I'm guessing it will set back some, but the fact that it went to the top with so much momentum is maaaaybe promising?

I was going to pull the chute on them since grain prices look to be coming under harvest pressure. Theoretically the earnings from the higher prices should hit the books in subsequent periods, but who knows if the market will actually respond to that.

I’ve had zero time to look for stocks.

Who has a play that isn’t AMC?!

KCUnited · 09-16-2021, 07:00 AM

Any thoughts on CHPT?

I've been out of EV stocks and am hesitant. Has it been beatdown enough to buy in?

I would think so, looks like a good time to get in but Lewdog is an expert at reading the graph.

That's what my brother would have said.

It was not easy though, because the emotions were in play, which is obvious. We all had a bad day, it happens. We made up and moved on. It's what we all talked about way before this happened.

So, glad we had this talk back then. Still, not easy once you actually go through the experience, but having that talk in my opinion, definitely helped set the standard.

Her funds have not done well YTD, for what it's worth. ARKK is -3.5% YTD while the S&P index is 19%.
