Tell me how it turns out…
None of us on the forum will be here in 50 years to verify…Making 50 year predictions is journalistic diarrhea. …

We do have some millennials here…but I suppose the jury is still out on whether a diet consisting of avocado toast will shorten or lengthen one’s life.
Even they will too old to remember or care…
The torch will be handed to lil Jane or Johnny…(Manch’s kids). Unfortunately, my Sunset obsession threads will end… (hey, stop it with the applause…)
::slow_clap:: 
Msft still strong after 40 years! So it will go bankrupt in 10 years? And how come IBM is still around?

I can’t even handle my 57 years, but I will glad if you are willing to feed me and cloth me and help me to go pee and poop in order to stay alive and tell your kids how it went. 
I remember when we were debating the crashing of Facebook and the jokes about the stocks going down below $20 and so the company.
It wasn’t 50 years ago, right?
I remember the bears trashing me…Lexa, Mediaguru, Crazyman…only 5 years ago…Most people can’t predict the weather…let alone the future. …But Forbes was on TV yesterday talking about the Forbes 400…Not one was a short seller…Bet on prosperity, bears always lose.
They said the group changes constantly. .Meaning new blood and future doom for some of the current bunch…who knows…Enjoy your money now. .before its too late…In 50 years my wife might still be around…hopefully enjoying a boy toy…lol

You’ve got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold ‘em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you’re sittin’ at the table
There’ll be time enough for countin’
When the dealin’s done

It’s OK Elt1. We all sometimes have a younger and lovely person with us for the short time we are going to be on this earth. Make them happy now, and make them happier when we leave. I can’t even stand myself! 
Last insult I got was when we went to our last court immigration hearing in SF in 2010. The guy checking everybody’s IDs asked me if my daughter was with me pointing at my wife. She is 3 years younger. 
Now you know why sometimes people go postal 
Nice compliment!!! My wife honestly does look younger than me that I am sure some people wonder what the heck is going on…

I like it when people think my wife is my daughter.
Besides being old is an accomplishment… Something to celebrate

Can I get a refund (including interest) for the book if his prediction didn’t come true in 50 years?
Having said above, hardly any companies last more than 100 years Is the reason why I think the best long term investment instrument is index especially S&P index.
His response: Absolutely. See me in 50 years about it…
way sooner…
No company will last 100 years? Insurance companies 
I had a 24 yo girlfriend, used to wear skirts that would leave you with lots of imagination. I was 40 then, pretty much a sugar daddy. My friends used to invite to gatherings for the sake of looking at her, I knew it and she knew it and she enjoyed the attention.
Our love didn’t last that long, neither the friendship with one of my long friend from my home town. A week after I sent her packing, or she did to me, whichever, they were seeing each other.
I found out the reason: He was a legal resident, I wasn’t. Well, he ended up not getting his citizenship for fear to get deported since he was sent to jail for one day for hitting his girlfriend. Enough reasons to send him to deportation proceedings, same way it happened to me but I did beat them to the punch.
