    Its lag. It's not a new behavior but it is more exaggerated now. The market is held up largely by big tech and these companies are doing quite well despite everything. Even during Covid they thrived. They are so large that even if the remainder of the market was falling, we would still go up...

    The only thing I understand is that gold goes up in economic uncertainty. It's a data point. But personally, I don't understand the rationale. If we experience a collapse at that scale - who is going to accept gold as tender? Even the bullion experts have trouble sometimes identifying fake gold...

    The next 12-18 months will be dicey for sure. If I were in your position I might do the same. I am 15 years+ from retirement so I have lots of time.

    I Was Wrong About Bitcoin. I bought Bitcoin when it was in the single-dollar digits, back when wallets lived on clunky hard drives. Technically, I still own it, but good luck finding that wallet file—pre-online exchange days were a mess. I rode the early hype, but even then I felt it had long...

    In volatile markets, sitting on cash isn’t a strategy—capital must be deployed somewhere, even in uncertain times. Crypto? Not exactly stable historically. Could evaporate at any time and IMO will go the way of tulip bulbs. Gold? Many might agree and in an unstable market many will choose...

    I get the AGI appeal. But IMO the next target is inserting AI into robotics to do meaningful tasks. This will be the next killer appliance. OK maybe killer is a poor choice of words here.

    This is normal. Historically, the larger the single day gain, the larger the drop the following day - usually due to profit taking. - After the 11.58% gain on October 13, 2008 (financial crisis relief plan), the market fell 0.77% the next day - After the 10.79% gain on October 28, 2008, the...

    I did the same. I moved everything into VTSAX yesterday. Should be even better in the single day since the market declined in the last hour. But I moved to VTSAX because I intend to play long now.

    Archeage

    The old trade system and ability to gank packs in ship battles was the best fun in any mmo ever. I'd love for that to be a reality but my trust has been shot so many times I just don't know.

    This game is offering crypto currency to kill zombies. Looks like it is built on Etherium. https://www.undeadblocks.com/

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Doesnt seem accurate to me. We had over 200 people online in guild alone last night. I know we are nowhere near that much of the population.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Vaniki is the best TLP in a very long time. Easily my favorite so far - and I was very skeptical going into it. 1. I was bored with the classic start. Starting with GoD there are so many different options for leveling. Who knew Natimbi, Dulak, and warrens would be so populated. 2. The server...

    I use Vanguard and I'm happy with it but the interface is a bit dated. I have heard good things about Schwab.
