The Best of Web posts are much shorter in length with material that is a notch or two above what you see in the regular TBB posts. It also gives me a short break midweek because I need it. Here is another post with five links about flourishing and not languishing, the most beautiful libraries of the world, a video designed only for people who are totally not afraid of heights, the best street photography and a super funny post about trading online and stuff like that. TBB on!

The Other Side of Languishing Is Flourishing. Here’s How to Get There
Some time ago I posted an article how some people have all been languishing in this pandemic way of living, including yours truly. This article is all about what can come after that —->“It’s living the good life. We usually think about flourishing as living in a state in which all aspects of a person’s life are good — it’s really an all-encompassing notion.” It has specific actions we can all do, let’s do it! Here is an Archive.is link.
The Most Beautiful Libraries of the World
This is a long Twitter thread with amazing pictures of the most beautiful libraries. Visually stunning is an understatement.
Finding Beauty in the Ordinary
I LOVE street photography. A selection of street photography from female artists around the world. I like it when I have such a hard time picking the one photo to feature here! Archive Link.
World’s Highest Everything [HD]
If you are afraid of heights do not watch this video, you have been warned! 6.30 mins of pure bliss! Can you tell I missed flying in an airplane? World’s Highest Everything. From highest freefall to highest wave surfed.
The Secret Life of a Retail Trading Legend
Part of my blog’s mission is to Entertain, in addition to Educate and Inspire. I truly believe humor is the best medicine so I do my best to get you to laugh. And if I laugh it is a good bet you will laugh too. And this short article had me on the floor laughing uncontrollably and I almost choked on my falafel! It perfectly captures the insanity of the current investing environment and lunacy of social media influencer types…
Anyway, so I was driving down to Big Podcast headquarters in my lambo while trading SPY and I thought to myself, “Lily, you’re extremely beautiful and humble and intelligent, but other people aren’t. How can you best help them?” I’ve been doing a lot of philanthropy on Twitter handing out free alpha to people as a public service, but I felt I really needed to focus on my long form posts on how to trade SPY effectively for the simpletons. I decided texting and driving wasn’t a good idea in case I crash into a poor person and have to talk to them, so I decided instead to call my friend Alex, who got rich trading bodily orifice coins and diversifying into Gamestop.
It’s been 15 minutes since I last checked the market. As a legendary retail investor, I work really hard to pay attention to every single tick in case the market goes slightly in the wrong direction. I keep my stops tight and my rectum tighter. I fire off another 100 lots of mini futures contracts. SPY downticks. I blow my account up.
I tweet optimistic and funny things to my followers. The market went down 1% today. I know they are all homeless and cannot use Twitter anymore. I still get 400 likes.
Tomorrow will be a better day I say to myself. Futures drop 50 points overnight. I am hedged better than Puru Saxenu in a face-ripping rally. I cry myself to sleep tonight.
And I leave you with this…
Thank you for reading my blog. If you enjoy it please pass it on to a family member or friend, thank you!

LOL…Carl, thanks a lot man for the laugh, this was wonderful! I may use it when the next Candice emails me!
Feel free to do so! It isn’t “copyscape protected”, whatever the hell that might be! Glad you enjoyed!
A simple search for “copyscape” yielded the following, from Wikipedia:
“Copyscape is used by content owners to detect cases of “content theft”, in which content is copied without permission from one site to another. It is also used by content publishers to detect cases of content fraud, in which old content is repackaged and sold as new original content.”
I think the person behind Candice is copyscape too 🙂
You’re on a first date. You ask the other person their favorite credit card. They respond, and you immediately leave.
What credit card did they name?
Sears credit card (probably dead lol)
Them ANA card SUBs are like from a different planet
I could go on and on but I need to go walk now
Whatever that ‘Luxury’ MasterCard Black card thing is that I get a mailer for every couple of months
Oh yeah, I get that card too….and I shred it with an urgency 🙂
Their spouse’s card that they don’t have to foot the bill for. Worse if it’s the IHG card.
Great library photos!
Thank you.
Did you see the piece in the WSJ this morning that people are paying down their credit card debts? Now that will have consequences.
Yes and it has already been placed in the next post draft. Very interesting, good to see from an overall sense of personal finance health and…it also explains the increased bank card offers.
Regarding Drew and MMS, new content or just updated posts from TiF?
“Transitory” Inflation is here, mixed with oil shortage, Biden will be a one term prez like Carter….
The Hyatt suite post with his byline looks very similar to a Frequent Miler post on the same topic from last year:
https://frequentmiler.com/the-most-exciting-hyatt-suites-bookable-with-points/
I enjoyed Drew’s innovative work at TiF as much as anyone. But either he’s taken a few Coursera classes on complete sentences, or MMS/TPG is ghostwriting content he has researched. I guess it doesn’t matter in the end.
In case it matters, Drew’s wife, Carrie, now works for Frequent Miler. I believe she is responsible for the newest format, of which I’m not a fan.
The addition must mean that FM is doing well. A year ago Greg was concerned about survival.
Carrie has worked there behind the scenes for a long time.
I still stand by there is a ghost writer who pumps many blog posts in BA…and sometimes neglects to change the headline much lol.
Everything here is by me. There have been just a few unpaid posts over the years, I think three. And Andy’s posts which current blog economic situation does not allow to bring him back. Would love to pay him again because his work is always quality.
>>>>>>>>I guess it doesn’t matter in the end.
This
Fun day in the markets! Glad I’m not holding any ARK Invest funds, those things are time bomb.
Never had ARK but I am betting Cathie is still bullish as always 🙂
Elon “suddenly” realized BTC is bad for the environment!
Meanwhile, Cathie Wood’s ARK says Bitcoin could help fight climate change……
Cryptocurrencies attract a lot of stupid thoughts.
I have more about the crypto shit in the next post.
After all these years I opened a play account to buy stocks. And hold them until 2030. First one I am in was Twitter. Because I am on it all day long lol. Rationale is the company is just not managed well and…if they finally get their shit together it can be, well, yuge. Or be bought out by an elephant. The platform IS powerful for all kinds of reasons, they just gotta monetize better 🙂
Had an idea the other day to buy 4 companies that will thrive until 2030. Less than 3% of my portfolio, rest is all in broad based Vanguard ETFs. Like I invest for all my clients.
Twitter is my tech play. Then I am looking at an airline that is focused on leisure business and is well managed, a brokerage company undergoing a huge merger that if it merges well it can a powerhouse and an online dating company that has been decimated since its IPO. I have not made a move on any of the three because, deep down, I am a value guy and want to buy lower 🙂
This is all you are going to get from me. This is an experiment. With money I can afford to lose. No, no Coinbase account here. And…Dogecoin must die! 🙂
Disclosure: This is NOT investment advice. Please engage a real professional for advice. This is worth as much as you paid for it. 🙂
The problem with TWTR is the lack of leadership. Jack doesn’t want to be a full time CEO.
Why not sprinkle money across a bunch of crypto currencies and hope that one or two will go up 100X.
“I am a value guy and want to buy lower” well, that rarely works in a bull market or during fiscal and monetary stimulus.
I totally understand about Jack, I am hoping he will let someone else take over eventually. Anyway, I lover Twitter regardless and can’t stand his beard lol.
I buy what I understand and always with a long term outlook. I am no crypto bro, I do not want to be left holding the bag one day.
Totally understand what you are saying abt bull markets in a time like this. The thing with the markets is…what is working can stop working…when you least expect it.
Anyone guessed what the other three companies are?
There is one airline I would invest in. And with the destruction of business travel it may come out as the one big winner out of all this covid turmoil. I can’t believe I am even thinking about blowing money on an airline stock LOL. Remember, I am looking at 2030. Most speculate what happens by Friday lol.
wtf=etf That made me laugh, thanks!
ETFs from Morgan Stanley? Nope. Vanguard, Schwab, IShares are MUCH lower cost.
I hope I get to do the next post tomorrow.
So, Elon just found out that bitcoin is bad for the environment? I mean, it is beyond ludicrous the SEC has not shut down this mf and his selfserving BS and his minions following him, wow!
George stay away from airlines!! They are a lost cause.. Research some (responsible) growth wtf from Morgan Stanley and is that as a tech play..
*ETF (darn autocorrect) use that as a tech play
You know you “Jumped the Shark” as a travel blog when you are listed behind Renee’s Points in MilesFeed blog list……………………remember when Renee used to delete your post and you would call him out. Do not be a hypocrite George…………ooops too late. CIAO RAMSEY
Renee’s Points:
-No one can resist a Broadway revival – see Chicago
-Oscar voters love biopics about old Hollywood – see Judy
-Jerry Maguire isn’t as good as you remember
-Two Bridget Jones movies was probably enough
-Don’t confuse Cinderella Man with Cinderella, man
Thanks for the lol Bill. Going to leave his comment up only because if I delete it…it would delete yours and that would be a crime 🙂
