    I don’t like Trump and wish he wouldn’t run, but you guys may need to step back for a moment and relax. This just might be a VC making money. How did Biden become a millionaire on 150k a year?

    How do you theorize that a VC is making money on this?

    Also, Biden wasn't a millionaire when he was making 150k a year.

    Not hard to become a millionaire on 150k a year. Discipline and time make it pretty easy.

    Yep, you can be worth a million dollars on less than 150k per year if you are wise about $ and investments.

    Absolutely no idea what you mean. And what do you mean by explode? He made considerably more than $150K when VP. The VP salary is over $200K. And yes, you can become a millionaire making over $200K. He has pretty extensive financial disclosures from his time as VP and the time in the private sector and now that he is President.

    Being able to give speeches at six figures a pop helps as well.

    Absolutely true. Also true that he wasn't a millionaire. Biden actually had very little wealth when he became VP. It was actually a bit of an issue in 2008. In 2009, he apparently had a net worth of about $30K.

    I would agree. That is why he didn't have $10 Million dollars based on salaries, but rather received it via book sales and speaking fees after he left office.

    Now, back on topic, what is your theory about VCs actually about?

    I wouldn’t either. Just seemed like a good move if you expected it to crash.

    I fully expect it to crash. I would honestly love to short it I just legitimately don’t know how. Never shorted a stock before. I’ll have to google this.

    Still doesn't make any sense. I'm still trying to figure out the value of a company with about $3 million in revenue, about $50 million in losses, no important IP or assets, and that isn't even growing. Why would somebody want to own equity in that particular business?
