re: #746 Cato the Elder

Because I wouldn’t trust it to anything less secure than a triple-A-plus muni bond, and because having the amount of money I do have at my disposal is far more crucial than the piddling interest I can earn on those.

Like, for buying food. As with 99.99999% of humanity.

My portfolio is in my brain, and my stocks are on my rifles.

Well it’s my understanding it is about risk. The more risk you take, the more interest you get to charge. No risk, no (or very little) reward.

If it weren’t for people taking some risk, we probably wouldn’t be chatting in this manner right now. I hope you can see that.
