This Week on The Compound

This week on The Compound

The one and only Bill Sweet joined Ben Carlson this week on Ask The Compound. They tackled the future of Social Security, navigating the federal Thrift Savings Plan, and understanding the Rule of 55. (Listen)

INSIDE THE COMPOUND

If you are a fan of The Compound, you already know that Josh, Michael, and the rest of the crew will NOT solicit you online to buy their stock or, God forbid, crypto picks. Josh wrote a post this week after a scammer used his likeness to do exactly this. In short, be (very) wary online. Josh writes:

I do not sell stock picks via text message. I will never DM you. I will never ask you to DM me. If you ever see an advertisement using my image or name or some unverified version of my profile, I promise you it’s not me. It’s a scam. Do not engage. Simply click the Report button and tell Meta / Facebook / Instagram about it. Reporting a fraudulent account or a harmful advertisement takes 5 seconds.

FRIENDS OF THE COMPOUND

It is easy to get overwhelmed by negative news these days. So, you have to seek out good news consciously. Prior TCAF guest Packy McCormick rounds up recent good news at Not Boring. This week, Packy highlighted two gene editing clinical trials that showed promising results in reversing blindness and deafness.

MERCH

Josh and Michael were back in the saddle this week, and a ton of charts hit the screen. In honor, grab a Chart On! t-shirt at idontshop.com, where you can find all our merch.
