I held all my investments and played the long game. I have a CD maturing next month and I am trying to figure out what I want to do with it.

[Caughtulookin]

What is the rate if you dont mind me asking? I like to compound my money so i prefer high yield savings. Its at 4.0 percent currently. Have made 600 in 5 months.

[exitseven]

I got a 4.5% last year. I might pick a couple of stocks/ maybe in the energy sector.

[Caughtulookin]

I bought Amazon in the huge drops. Its profitable and gaining fast. Amazon has started Ltl and is building sea ships. Transportation Maritime boats and land are my life. They say to buy stocks in businesses you know.

@Caughtulookin What would you think about n electric powered ferry boat?

[Caughtulookin]

Thats not exactly my field but i sure like electric motors. I actually own a hybrid car and only spend 15 dollars a week commuting and whatever i need to do when off work. I also own an electric weed trimmer which has more power than gas powered. Its also extremely easy to maintain without a carburator and mixed fuel.

[Caughtulookin]

I had 50 shares of BEP ticker Brookfield renewable energy that i took a profit on after the first major stock dump. I sold because its a Canadian company but they pay a 5% dividend and they are blue chip but fairly new in the USA. Check them out its pretty cheap and i dont see them going under.

I think that water and electricity do not mix. Batteries are heavy and would , go right to the bottom.

[Caughtulookin]

Thats probably a good theory. All boats have electicity and batteries though.

[exitseven]

yes, to run the lights and radio and navigation equipment, The old boat had twin diesels and the electrical system gas a 240V DC system.

So Britons get to eat chlorine chicken now? 🤢

[Caughtulookin]

Not sure. So your saying people buy chlorine chicken from us? I dont buy chlorine chicken.

[DryGermanGuy]

The lower meat quality and the questionable meat treatment methods (e. g. chlorine) are the reason the EU refuses US-American meat products. Since the UK quit the EU they could now choose any meat they accept to import.

[Caughtulookin]

I remember in Germany there being more levels of milk fat. I liked thst because i really like milk. To you and Bonzo though. Dont you have low quality grocery stores and high quality? I can buy all kinds of beef and chicken here and the grocery stores i buy at can be vastly different. I read all the labels because i do eat clean mostly.

Little kids can't put money in vending machines for Galois Blondes and Heineken here in the USA on the street sidewalks.

[DryGermanGuy]

We do not have low quality food in Germany, certainly not in my lifetime. Who would buy that, when standard quality food is cheap and higher quality food is still affordable?
Check our grocery prices if you want: https://shop.rewe.de/

Little kids can't buy alcohol and cigarettes here either. For cigarettes you have to have a bankcard and I don't really recall alcohol being sold in street vending machines. Beer and wine you can buy legally in stores aged 16.

[Caughtulookin]

You just needed a 5 mark coin the last time i was there.

[DryGermanGuy]

That would be 30 years ago, give or take? The Mark currency is gone since 2001.

[exitseven]

@DryGermanGuy what are you talking about? I never eat chlorine chicken. Beef and chicken exports and other products will increase which is good for our farmers.

[Caughtulookin]

@exitseven Were talking about meat being shipped to other continents. The product you get in your own cities are always going to be healthier. Buying American meats in Europe would be similiar to us buying meats from South America but farther away.

[Caughtulookin]

I know Sushi restaurants here ship fish from all over the world. It doesn't bother me to much because fish that can be served raw run a high risk of having tapeworms if not flash frozen.

[BonzoInBitburg]

It's a pretty narrow trade agreement. In the past this wouldn't even be newsworthy because it's a small agreement. It's not even a deal yet. The UK has higher standards for meat that the US has to meet and that's going to be an issue. It was a wild exaggeration for Trump to call it conclusive and comprehensive

[Caughtulookin]

Are you British? Bitburg makes me think German. I dont know what beef they are trading but we have pretty good beef here. I just bought a nice tenderloin and passed on some kobe for my birthday tomorrow. I got some grass fed 90 10 ground also.

[BonzoInBitburg]

The UK has stricter standards than the US. I'm sure you can find good beef but I wouldn't buy beef in the US from a grocery store because I don't know what's in it and I don't like what's allowed to be in it.

[purplepoppy]

As I understand it America has dropped tariffs on steel and lowered car tariffs to 10% and in exchange we have to accept more beef imports. There's fears from farmers we'll be flooded with low quality beef raised to lower welfare standards. It'll be interesting to see if shoppers accept American beef or it just ends up as burgers and dogfood.

It'll definitely be interesting to see how many agricultural projects "accidentally" catch fire on arrival in the UK.

[Caughtulookin]

I buy from mostly local butchers. I've spent some time in Europe but not England. I lived in Germany but like American beef much better.

[exitseven]

I eat American beef all the time. It is the best.

[Caughtulookin]

I think maybe the bullshit and bologne has spread like wild fire. Trump is not the communist Chinese lovers who have become rich by selling out the United States and kissing the wokes asses. There is some real quality here. I know of several ranches that i buy meat from out of the front house butcher. The livestock are grazing im the backyard. When did the Cowboy reputation leave The Land Of The Brave? It left when career politicians took over and stuffed their pockets at any cost.

[Caughtulookin]

@exitseven i looked it up because of comments. UK stopped importing hormone treated American beef in 1989 but continued to import non treated. They are going to continue importing the beef they already do but more. The low quality thing is kind of dated.

[NoDecision]

The way Trump's people are cutting funding for agencies, like the USDA, who knows how long beef will be safe.

[exitseven]

@NoDecision RFK jr is looking at the food supply. A lot of this toxic additives will be discontinued.

[Anonymous]

2 deals? He claimed he had 200 done. By jizzing all over himself over one with the UK, he made it clear he was lying. And even this there's still a ton to work out so it's basically nothing lol

[Caughtulookin]

Thats not 2 deals. Its one. The other is the European union with India. Its all over the news and stocks are soaring. Skeptics are about to regret it.

[Syntosi]

Just give up already. Trumps trade negotiations has proven to be a failure. Celebrating the US-UK trade deal when its objectively worse than what Australia managed to get with the UK is just fucking embarrassing at this point.

[DryGermanGuy]

And the damn trade deal doesn’t even exist yet! It’s just a declaration of wanting to do a deal.

[Syntosi]

@DryGermanGuy That is true. They are really getting ahead of themselves to try score good headlines.

[NoDecision]

The way it's going between India and Pakistan, the only thing that is going to be traded is gunfire and nukes, if it goes too far.

[DrPepper12]

No. We all saw the Trump train run over MAGA & COngress but MAGA & Congress missed it...

[seeyounexttuesday]

Nope. This is exactly what I voted for.
