Jack Ryan
« on: November 13, 2019, 05:13:29 AM »
Anyone watch the show Jack Ryan?  Well Jack, a Dr of Economics, was giving his friend financial advice and said “The secret is to get yourself a really good S&P 500 index fund”.

Btw, it’s a really good show, financial advice aside.

Yup - since the "dream" is to be the dorky office guy who's secretly a bad-ass action hero, this helped me relate to the main character even more 😁

I smiled at this, too.


BTW: Pretty sure Jack Ryan is a war criminal and should stand trial immediately.

Ha yeah I won't go into spoilers but there are times when the show feels like an 80s USA rah-rah action movie...
