    The Stock Trading and Shitposting thread.

    I have a similar issue in my Roth account. I've had a single share of my employers stock in my brokerage for years. After an earnings report a few quarters ago, I bought about $5k worth of stock in my Roth. It's down, I'm totally hanging onto the sunkin cost fallacy. But at least I'm getting...

    ya, if it breaks just below the dirt, you've got work regardless how far down the rot is. If it's not rotted at all, i've heard you can drill into the remaining post and use that to pull it up. if there's enough of the 4x4 sticking out of the ground, you sometimes use that. i've drilled a...

    Can confirm, at least in Texas, the posts rot just below the grass line. The bottom of the post is fine. Digging up broken posts is a super pain in the ass.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    One of my biggest gripes with marvel lately, and I dunno how this was handled in the actual comics, is the constant 1up'ing of established characters. Oh, you like Captain America? The one who you got a whole movie where you understood his background, motivations, and the how much of a...
