    There was a vending machine that sold these for a quarter at my middle school. You could trade them or pencil fight them. There was a whole economy around which teams were cool. The Chicago Bears were worth like 10 pencils, shit was nuts!

    As someone that holds actual gold and silver, I get it. However, most of my funds are held up in a Rollover IRA and ETF was really my only option for a meaningful allocation. I’ll be selling company RSUs in February which will give me a chance to add some actual BTC. Divorce really fucked my...

    I have ~6% of my portfolio in IBIT and 2.5/1.5% in BTCI/BLOX. Feels like decent exposure but I'll be adding another 5% in the next year in a 60/40 allocation in February (selling some RSUs when they vest). 15% feels like the right place for me. Anything else and I get nervous even though I have...

    Something that really clicked for me before I started investing in gold back in 2015 was when I read that during the gold standard, a $20 gold double eagles were pegged to $20 of gold. I don't know why, but I had never really considered how much that affected my view on inflation when I realized...

    This exactly. As the numbers have gotten bigger, it’s like, did I just lose a car today? 😅 And yes, makes me fidgety. It’s a pretty great problem to have but I’m gonna close the app for a bit.

    I’m not that aggressive. I’m like 50% VOO and then a decently large position in NVDA, the rest in growth and tech ETFs but I’ve ridden this train before and don’t plan on retiring for another 10-15 years (I actually love my job). I’m not in any leveraged ETFs or any large positions that wouldnt...

    I used to not check my funds all the time, and when there was a big dip I’d just shrug it off. For some reason I’ve been struggling to not look every day and it’s really stressing me out. I feel like I have a solid portfolio, aggressive but not dumb and I just need to put my head in the sand for...

    This was almost my exact exercise. How long could I live off of credit/HELOC/gold/etc without having to sell something at a loss. I used to keep much larger balances before 2019 but not anymore. My accounts are large enough and old enough, that as you said, even if I have to sell at 30% off from...

    I have thoughts on this and in no way am I saying that I’m right. But knowing that my dollars are just melting value inside a bank account is too much for me to bear. So I keep about 6 months of mortgage payments in a CD plus my checking account. I put my “savings” into a mix of SPMO/VGT and...

    I got divorced in 2020 and that really changed a lot of things for me financially. That year I put a large allocation into FSPTX (tech fund) and FBGRX (growth fund), physical gold and silver and a small stake in NVDA and some other positions. My one miss was not buying BTC at $18k which was on...

    I honestly liked the movie a lot. The tension building was great and I kept thinking, what the fuck would I even do knowing that the end of the world is nigh? Really well made. But if you don’t intend to let me fuck, don’t start playing with my balls you feel? Show me them nuke titties.

    I made like $1500 between BYND/ATCH/DVLT but nothing more than a few hundred bucks at stake. I’d never put real money in these things even though I know you could make crazy money. I’m doing fine and I’d seriously lose my shit if I blew $50k on this. Speaking of covered calls, anyone have any...
