not individual stocks. but you should be buying etf stock or index funds. which are clustered stocks and super safe to invest in.
And low fee. Luckily my employer does non-elective contributions, so I get my 3% match without putting money into my work retirement plan. I put all of my investment money into a Vanguard target retirement fund. I could save slightly more by picking my own index funds, but I'm lazy.

What model is the TV? A lot of TVs used to advertise they were 120hz when they could only accept 60hz signals. The 120hz just came from running it with the soap opera effect on.

Lightning Returns is a great game.
.

Gamers who've played it enough to pull back LR's game-play layers already know this is true (no dying on this hill...).

[ There is room for improvement, but that's true for any game. ]
I even enjoyed XIII. Most of the criticisms were fair, but I still really enjoyed the atmosphere and the combat system even though it opened up late in the game.

XIII-2 I just thought was a straight up good game other than the story. It fixed 90% of what was wrong with XIII.

Index funds make trades for you as well, but instead of paying someone who rarely ever beats the market anyway you are paying an algorithm to do it.

Seasons 5-7 were nearly as bad as season 8, but at least at the time of their airing there was always hope that season 8 could fix the previous seasons' issues.

This isn't just expensive, this is like, ludicrously, comically expensive.

Standard ice cream runs about $2.50 for a half gallon. A comparable price for the same amount of that stuff would be like $50 bucks.

If they want to become relevant they're going to have to find a way to knock that price down, cuz that's outrageous.
Keep in mind that this is a brand new kind of niche product made by a startup. And they seem to run coupons frequently. I've bought it twice now with coupons in just the past few months, and they had 50% off coupons each time. $5 a pint puts it in line with Ben and Jerry's pricing. And it was free shipping too.

I remember reading about one of these companies but I didn't know anything like it was on the market already. I'll have to try it if I can. I've become more of an ice cream fan since going vegan because I can eat it without getting the shits now <_<
The thing that got me excited about it when I read about it is the potential for vegan cheese. Vegan ice cream is fine to me, but vegan cheese still leaves a lot to be desired, though it has improved in recent years.

The other thing that interested me is its potential impact on the dairy industry, and by association the beef and leather industry as well. This stuff is already on the market at a somewhat reasonable price. It could be a huge disrupter to dairy's already struggling market share.
