Happy NVDA ex-dividend week. Don't spend it all in one place.

I inherited half of my dad's IRA that was managed by a buddy of mine for 20ish years. All his positions were transferred over to me and good god, it's like looking into an investment time machine. Surprised there's no Standard Oil, Amalgamated Steel or Titanic Boat Makers, Inc.

I now have the blended portfolio of a woman turning 103 with tumors for t!ts, an Oldsmobile and an income so fixed it couldn't breed with Octomom.

I get quarterly dividend checks from GE for like $0.12 cents. Not even worth the cost of a stamp. I just toss them.
This is how one ends up on the unclaimed property list of states. I'm sure GE owes me 8 dollars in uncashed checks dating back 15 years.

I've deposited a check for $.01 before
On second thought, it may have been $.03 or $.07
For sure under $.10
If that makes a difference

a friend gave my daughter two shares of Disney stock when she was born. When she was 12 (now 25), overly obsessed with money and managing her own bank account, she found an uncashed dividend check for around $1 and deposited it. Check was like 5 years old. Bank charged her $10 for depositing an expired check. Of course not Disney's fault but she vowed revenge, declared through tears she would someday "steal something from Disney". We still joke about it.

I don't understand, it is often used when it is not the correct choice. It is like chasing quarterly profits. It allows the easy development, but then trying to get your data and/or build reports on it in the future is a pain compared to it's competitors.

Who are the competitors? I'm only a product manager, but this is a core part of tech for building and launching multiple enterprise saas applications.

Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle SQL, PostgreSQL, and MySQL would be the alternatives that I would choose 90% of the time to MongoDB. However if in the nosql world there are a few competitors as well, but going with MongoDB due to popularity would probably make sense over something like Apache CouchDB.
I am a product manager as well and my applications use multiple different database technologies, I even integrate with a MongoDB, however for that app, mongoDB was 100% the wrong choice, and only reason it was chosen was because the developers wanted to pad their resume. They saw that MongoDB was a popular sought after skill and wanted to use it so they could improve their resume.
There were tens of millions invested taking that data and converting it to a SQL format and then hosting the data on other servers.
Still have a chunk of shares. Bought a bunch back in 2019 around $100 and sold a majority when it was over $500 in 2021. Glad to see the price getting back there.
