Sometimes in life, we are called to make great decisions.

This is me at one in the morning or later and traumatized by my pee'd up pencil.

If you had $26M would you invest in a moderately risky venture for an expected 5% return over 5 years?

Thank you all for your replies. It will help me a lot.

what prompted the question is a proposal my boss had made about developing land. The cost to develop the land is about $26M and I can't see people investing with a return of about 5%.

For the risk, no. It would be an attractive offer if it was low risk, I would say. but moderate risk, no. You would want to see a 15-20 percent return for moderate risk, at least to me.

Alien Covenant is not a good movie and we should stop watching new Alien films because it is so bad.

Not every movie is going to be a real winner winner chicken dinner. To be honest, I liked the movie Bats a lot growing up. And I liked Alien Covenant, even though it was so sad. But everyone has different taste.

I honestly do not feel this is a matter of taste. Shallow, barely explained character motivation, lazy writing, overused tropes....I mean, I'm sure some people enjoyed the movie, but not because there is anything good about it.

Bats is also a movie like that, I hardly remember now, but I did enjoy it when I watched it, and remember enough about it to know that it's kinda of a silly b type movie that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Covenant takes itself INCREDIBLY seriously, which is what fans wanted, but ends being a silly movie since it was so poorly done. If it took the time to laugh at itself, it would be better, but even so, that wasn't the kind of horror sci fi I was led to expect by everything that came before it.

if resource was suddenly abundantly free with the allowable knowledge of technology we possess.

In times of great plenty, societies tend to grow, advancing technologically and culturally.

Infinite plenty would be a different beast and there really isn't any precedent for it. Even in times of plenty, we spend a great deal of time acquiring means of survival. If there was no need to spend any time doing that, or if the time spent doing that was really minimal, what would we spend time doing? Boredom would be an even more intense issue than it is right now.

There are blue chip stocks you could buy that give you a comparable quarterly dividend.

Bank interest is also really nice when you have that much in an account.

Sometimes keeping control is hard.

Its tough. You gotta have a resovoir to draw from that reminds you that you can do whatever it is you're trying to do.

i know its kinda ironic..

You could almost say it's like rain. On an important event, a wedding let's say.

Or you know like when you get a free ride voucher, but you've already PAID for transportation?

Or like when someone has really great advice in an urgent situation, but even though it's a GREAT idea, you can't act on it because circumstances don't allow?

It kind of figures though.
