If there were a thing such as a second world country , what would some examples be? Greece maybe?

i believe that referred to communist countries during the cold war era

nowadays first/second/third world has been phased out in favor of "developed" or "developing"

examples?

strictly as examples of stocks with certain dividend yields and not investment recommendations (though i own the former two): ford has 5%, exxonmobil is around 6.7%, oke is around 8.6%.

but the best course of action (imo) would be a hedged investment across multiple stocks and etfs with reliable performance histories from both a price and dividend yield standpoint.

definitely necessary to both do research and rebalance periodically (whether quarterly or annually).

it's come to my attention recently, however, that dividend investing is more recommended for older investors living off their investments rather than younger people attempting to build wealth, the latter recommended to partake in higher risk investment choices (e.g., growth stocks and equities).

but for something resembling stable income, dividends seem like the most sensible strategy.

been actively investing for four years (though i owned a tiny amount between 2014ish and 2017); pretty knowledgeable on the underlying monetary theory; pretty well versed in the technological underpinnings (of L1 bitcoin and eth 1.0 anyway) and otherwise have varying degrees of familiarity with a handful of other protocols and the ecosystem at large; done some tinkering from an independent research/development standpoint but nothing significant enough to put on my resume

bullish long-term

  2. if that fails, obtain $742,857.14 and buy stock with 7% dividends that maintains its price

It's crazy how they predicted emo rap and hyperpop.

i suppose ironic musicians like brokencyde kept the spirit of crunk and postcrunk (albeit fused with pop-emo elements) going after hip hop scene largely ditched it, eventually paving the way to its adoption by a variety of internet subcultures, where there's been rapid evolutionary iterations over the past decade.

never gave much thought to their (or indeed crunkcore's) influence before now, since my immersion in the crunkcore scene was mostly following the work of millionaires and lucian walker.

I grew up in Louisiana and I live in Colorado and I really miss warm weather. Im not a cold weather person and Im already tired of slipping on ice and sliding around parking lots for six months out of the year. Legal weed is nice, but I honestly wouldnt be super upset if my family decided to move someone warmer (thats not Baton Rouge).

baton rouge's summer humidity is the worst if you want to walk anywhere, even if it isn't ridiculously hot

winters and especially falls are very pleasant - the former a little chillier than central texas in general though - and i'd say spring is as well but damn, so many bugs in the air

kinda miss the city in a stockholm syndrome kind of way

could never see myself moving to a landlocked northern state like colorado - even if aspen during summertime is absolutely lovely - as continental climate involves harsh winters
