IMHO capital that doesn't beat inflation should be liquid not tied up for months or years at a time. TBills, CDs and cash are simply storage places where money sits while the investor is finding a purpose for it. Cash is like short call, the purpose is being "promptly available" if needed.

Exactly this. That 5-6% isn’t “risk free”. It doesn’t even beat inflation! This is a losing investment! So your cash is tied up for what, 2, 3, 5 years? Shoot, you could’ve put it all in the S&P and in 5 years, dollars to donuts you’d at least have beaten inflation! Short term CDs should be used in lieu of a savings account for when you need to set cash aside for a purchase next year.

Aren't we supposed to be at the top of the upgrade list for deadheads now? I deadheaded the other day and had a crappy seat in the back with no ability to even move to comfort plus.

it's gonna take Delta IT a decade or two to figure out how to integrate that into the software.

You might want to look at MOA 23-01 deferred Implementation. It mentions PWA 8.F.1.b DH seat selection

When you build a large enough portfolio of money producing assets (CDs, dividends, business payments) then you can actually live without working and still grow your wealth. Unless you are a professional trader I don’t see how a Ferrari is part of an investment strategy. What is insurance costs on something like this? Where does a normal person drive something like this in a northern city where massive potholes are the norm?

To ensure I’m not misinformed, we can board ASAP now on DHs? I was on a DH yesterday…and my boarding pass was main 1. The MOU doesn’t list boarding…so good to cutoff those wheel chairs and infants?

not everything has to be a maximized effort at wealth accumulation. You can buy a lot of niche cars, enjoy them, and make a little or not lose a lot of money on them. A CD is great, but it’s way more boring than a 70-year-old Vincent.

Correct, we can board as soon as the boarding process starts.
