People Share The Biggest Everyday Scams In America
We all know scams exist, but some of the biggest ones are so baked into everyday American life that we hardly question them anymore. That is, until u/Wonderful-Economy762 asked, "What's the biggest scam in the United States?" The answers poured in — and they're honest, frustrating, and, frankly, way too relatable. From overpriced college degrees, to tipping for self-service, to the absolute circus that is health insurance, here are the scams people called out: "Health insurance." "All insurance. My wife got rear-ended while sitting at a red light. That driver didn't have insurance, so we had to pay the $500 deductible to get my car repaired. We literally got punished because someone wasn't paying attention and didn't have insurance. Makes no sense." "The wedding industry." "Timeshares. I hear they're so easy to get roped into and then nearly impossible to get out of." "Ticketmaster, AXS, etc., and concert ticket resellers." "The fact that health insurance doesn't include dental and vision. It's a scam as it is, but then you still have to pay for two additional insurances to fully cover your health. What the fuck?" "For-profit prison system." "Politicians taking jobs with companies after voting in that company's favor. Politicians using insider info to make trades. Payment for order flow — one of the many tools they use to set stock prices where they want them instead of true price discovery. Failure to deliver — the stock market truly is a joke." "My daughter swears it's mattress companies." "No term limits on federal legislators." "The unsubscribe button. It's like the close door button on an elevator." "Mega churches." "Trickle-down economics and the worship of the 1%." "Subscriptions." "Multi-level marketing like Amway." "Rich guys representing political parties to enrich themselves and their friends while pretending to support blue-collar issues. Meanwhile, you lunatics fight each other over it." "Homeowners' insurance. It's even worse than health insurance. At least with health insurance, it works for most people most of the time. Homeowners' insurance only exists to protect the lender. If you try to file a claim, they'll fight you tooth and nail, and then only pay out a penny on the dollar because they'll prorate the cost of everything — and then, they'll drop your policy because you filed a claim." "The two-party political system and the illusion that either side cares about citizens (at all) more than maintaining their status quo and shared power. Both sides will fuck over Americans to squash any threat to their collective power — one side is just far more overt and in your face about it these days." "Tipping. Make the consumer responsible for paying your employees enough to live on, so you can list prices that make you look good. Extend tipping to fast-casual restaurants? Sure. To drive-throughs? Sure. To bridal gowns? Why the hell not? Oh, and make it a percentage of what you buy, so employees are incentivized to upsell." "College." So, which of these do you agree with? And what would you add to the list? Let us know in the comments below!

3 Reasons to Sell AXS and 1 Stock to Buy Instead
AXIS Capital trades at $97 per share and has stayed right on track with the overall market, gaining 8.7% over the last six months. At the same time, the S&P 500 has returned 4.1%. Is there a buying opportunity in AXIS Capital, or does it present a risk to your portfolio? Dive into our full research report to see our analyst team's opinion, it's free. Why Is AXIS Capital Not Exciting? We're swiping left on AXIS Capital for now. Here are three reasons why AXS doesn't excite us and a stock we'd rather own. 1. Long-Term Revenue Growth Disappoints In general, insurance companies earn revenue from three primary sources. The first is the core insurance business itself, often called underwriting and represented in the income statement as premiums earned. The second source is investment income from investing the 'float' (premiums collected upfront not yet paid out as claims) in assets such as fixed-income assets and equities. The third is fees from various sources such as policy administration, annuities, or other value-added services. Regrettably, AXIS Capital's revenue grew at a sluggish 3.8% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. This was below our standard for the insurance sector. 2. Net Premiums Earned Points to Soft Demand Markets consistently prioritize net premiums earned growth over investment and fee income, recognizing its superior quality as a core indicator of the company's underwriting success and market penetration. AXIS Capital's net premiums earned has grown at a 2.5% annualized rate over the last two years, much worse than the broader insurance industry and slower than its total revenue. 3. Previous Growth Initiatives Haven't Impressed Return on equity (ROE) is a crucial yardstick for insurance companies, measuring their ability to generate returns on the capital provided by shareholders. Insurers that consistently deliver superior ROE tend to create more value for their investors over time through strategic capital allocation and shareholder-friendly policies. Over the last five years, AXIS Capital has averaged an ROE of 9.5%, uninspiring for a company operating in a sector where the average shakes out around 12.5%. Final Judgment AXIS Capital isn't a terrible business, but it doesn't pass our bar. That said, the stock currently trades at 1.3× forward P/B (or $97 per share). This valuation multiple is fair, but we don't have much faith in the company. We're fairly confident there are better investments elsewhere. We'd recommend looking at one of Charlie Munger's all-time favorite businesses. Stocks We Would Buy Instead of AXIS Capital Trump's April 2024 tariff bombshell triggered a massive market selloff, but stocks have since staged an impressive recovery, leaving those who panic sold on the sidelines. Take advantage of the rebound by checking out our Top 9 Market-Beating Stocks. This is a curated list of our High Quality stocks that have generated a market-beating return of 183% over the last five years (as of March 31st 2025). Stocks that made our list in 2020 include now familiar names such as Nvidia (+1,545% between March 2020 and March 2025) as well as under-the-radar businesses like the once-micro-cap company Kadant (+351% five-year return).

The Return Trends At Accsys Technologies (LON:AXS) Look Promising
What are the early trends we should look for to identify a stock that could multiply in value over the long term? Ideally, a business will show two trends; firstly a growing return on capital employed (ROCE) and secondly, an increasing amount of capital employed. Basically this means that a company has profitable initiatives that it can continue to reinvest in, which is a trait of a compounding machine. So on that note, Accsys Technologies (LON:AXS) looks quite promising in regards to its trends of return on capital. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. For those that aren't sure what ROCE is, it measures the amount of pre-tax profits a company can generate from the capital employed in its business. To calculate this metric for Accsys Technologies, this is the formula: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) 0.031 = €4.8m ÷ (€188m - €34m) (Based on the trailing twelve months to September 2024). So, Accsys Technologies has an ROCE of 3.1%. Ultimately, that's a low return and it under-performs the Forestry industry average of 6.3%. See our latest analysis for Accsys Technologies In the above chart we have measured Accsys Technologies' prior ROCE against its prior performance, but the future is arguably more important. If you'd like, you can check out the forecasts from the analysts covering Accsys Technologies for free. Accsys Technologies has recently broken into profitability so their prior investments seem to be paying off. Shareholders would no doubt be pleased with this because the business was loss-making five years ago but is is now generating 3.1% on its capital. And unsurprisingly, like most companies trying to break into the black, Accsys Technologies is utilizing 21% more capital than it was five years ago. This can tell us that the company has plenty of reinvestment opportunities that are able to generate higher returns. Overall, Accsys Technologies gets a big tick from us thanks in most part to the fact that it is now profitable and is reinvesting in its business. Astute investors may have an opportunity here because the stock has declined 24% in the last five years. That being the case, research into the company's current valuation metrics and future prospects seems fitting. Before jumping to any conclusions though, we need to know what value we're getting for the current share price. That's where you can check out our that compares the share price and estimated value.
