What I don't understand about this position is, its certainly true long term but inflation doesnt cut 20-50% of your value overnight, while in theory a market crash can. Why not pull back for a short period when things are shit? Seems like a minor loss for a large benefit (if done at the right...

Yesterday was quite a ride. My USEG fluctuated between +180% and +70% throughout the course of the day; my total portfolio ranged from +2 to +4 over the same range. Learning some lessons about taking crazy profits when they show up and not getting greedy, but at least I did have the wisdom to...

I'd be curious to hear some thoughts on cutting losses in a trading context (stocks I have no interest in holding long term). Any general rules of thumb you guys go by? e.g. I had a couple that were down like 1-2% and didnt foresee them recovering in the time frame I wanted so I had no major...

Just read a post complaining about ""overcooked""" chicken wings and now I'm rustled thinking about every undercooked, non-crispy chicken wing I've ever eaten Doubly rustled now that theres a wing shortage. All those wings died for nothing, their lives wasted on a plate improperly rendered fat...

Whats an overcooked chicken wing? Never been to BWW but if they cook their wings crispy by default I'm gonna have to try it. Motherfucking wing places that serve soft flabby wings are like if there was a restaurant with "Bacon" in the name but by default all the bacon came out soft and you had...

thats terrible. which content?

On reflection, I don't think they actually explained to the German wagon train folks what the danger was. At least not on camera. I mean, it wasnt just the usual dangers of the trail. There was a very specific reason why they all needed to get the fuck out right away. When the Germans said they...

I've never understood the choice of 50 and 200. I get that once the market starts using a certain level like that it becomes self fulfilling, but what I'm wondering about is why those levels were chosen in the first place. Arbitrary round numbers or more than that? Seems like something based...

damn, I was feeling good about getting JPM at 140, somebodys about to get a great deal

Shes the only one so far, not too rustled BUT, they are totally doing the goddam ridiculous "no one notices she's the only black person" thing.

While "miss" isnt the right word I do think every now and then that Keg and GeneralAntony would fit in well on todays FOH and contribute some quality entertainment. Is Lithose gone? things have been kind of concise around here lately

Only watched Ep 1 so far but I agree, this didnt get the WOT treatment the ads had led me to fear.

Sure. I get that, but surely one does something, right? Maybe the right answer is "don't bother changing anything, cause its too big to be able to defend against it?" I don't know.

Assuming China waits until after Monday morning, what investment strategies do yall have in mind for the invasion of Taiwan? Dump tech? Buy US Semiconductors? Defense, energy, commodities? Pull it all back into cash and watch the world burn? I've read thoughts on the subject other places but...

SQ +23%, damn. Didnt know that stock could move in that direction.

This is a good challenge. I suspect most of us, if faced with that situation, would do it. Everyone who does will regret it in the end, and wish they'd stayed blind, but I admit this situation would make it really hard to resist.

I dunno if this belongs in the loss porn thread but somebody may have already done their bargain shopping yesterday :( I get that this is ok, theyre all stocks I'm happy to hold for a long time. But as an OCD bargain shopper in all areas of life, feels bad man.

eternity doing data entry / IT work? I think there was a book about this long ago by some Italian dude, Dante something or other

I get that, but the narration could be her journal or something. I'd say theres no way they would be so unrealistic as to have her survive that except I've been watching all season.

So your complaint is that the discussion about the shows flaws becomes repetitive with the same people saying the same things over and over? I mean, I guess I get that in terms of not being interested in reading the discussion, but isnt this pattern just happening because ... the show suffers...

2FA being tied to having an electronic device in your possession is fundamentally flawed and its fucked up it it was ever accepted. The government being able to lock you out of everything (and you're right about that) is just one of the many ways this can fuck users.

I don't get the complaining about complaining theme. What are we supposed to do, just chime in "I like this show" once a week? Thatd be an interesting discussion. Actually, I kind of assume everyone not posting about it, but watching, is in that camp. "I like this show". They just don't bother...

Great show. On re watching the finale it bugs me a little though how that fight went down. Harcourt and Vigilante should be dead. Multiple gunshots, no superpowers, no first aid. It was just weird having that "oh nevermind we're all fine actually" moment coming from a show based on Suicide...

Actually, I'm pretty sure thats close to how dreams work. I think your brain just does random nonsense all night and there is no story. But in the instant of waking up your brain tries to recreate some narrative that connects all the random impulses into a cohesive story. In other words, when...

If I get food at a restaurant - whether fast food or real restaurant - if I drive that food home and eat it there, its fucking cold garbage. Fast food expires about 2 minutes after it leaves the window. No longer worth eating. Now explain why I would want to pay someone - a person who can't...

I'm posting this article from an esteemed media outlet https://www.the-sun.com/tech/4717589/sun-erupting-non-stop-flares-scientists/ I know its not a scientific journal or even a real newspaper but given the subject material I think it can be given a pass this time Interesting to think about...

Fair enough that they said the word marriage, but only after the fact or without any kind of actual wedding or any suggestion that "wait you have to get married first, harlot"

This. The mom and dad on this show are from the same generation and culture as Ma and Pa Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie. But somehow we're supposed to find their behavior believable. The notion that any pioneering white couple would just "yolo, you go girl" while their little blond...

Noob question of the day. It seems crypto generally follows the major stock indices during the week (or maybe both are responding to general market sentiment, or something. Anyway, they seem strongly linked during the week). Then on the weekend when they're decoupled because the market is...

Very basic question, I will refrain from asking more if this kind of thing is not welcome. If a stock you had planned to hold long term jumps 25% in a few days after buying it, do you go ahead and take the profit or hold long anyway waiting for more? I'm sure the answer is it depends on more...

Youre not wrong, but its still time well spent

I picked a hell of a time to start trying to understand the stock market

Its more complicated than that now, schedule C etc for a couple small businesses. But I will look into FreeTax. Estimates of my IQ depend on the person doing the estimating and vary widely in my experience. We've stayed with HRBlock because its easy and started very cheap then got slightly...

I'm sure theres some good reason yall havent mentioned it but we've used HR Block online since our taxes were simple to the time theyve become much more complex, and I havent had any problems with it. No support at all but the software is fine. I'm obsessively DIY but can't imagine doing the...

I've probably ranted about this before but got an email that reminded me so here we go again. Fuck people that write emails like texts. No capitalization. No punctuation. No salutation or closing. This isnt a communication from a human being, its a piece of digital noise to be filtered out...

I'm not sure who you're projecting at here with the tradwide obsessed, scared of divorce, no kids thing. None of those describe me or my post. It seems you just brushed off my post by saying "yes, 77% of the country are just poors". Again - you're describing a small fraction of the country...

even if your wife is only in the top 23% of individual income (before adjusting for sex or age which means its actually much, much smaller) or something? Is that what you meant? The great majority of people in this country do not earn "only" 80k, and the situation is different for them than...

Imagine not having children because they cost money. Its what the money was for in the first place. I'm convinced something pathological happens in the brains of childless people sometime in their 30s or 40s. Where they start viewing everything in life exactly backwards.

I wonder if they'll be faithful to the source material in this adaptation

Random update on the pigs. They've grown to about match my weight. An interesting milestone for an animal I plan to eat. A couple months to go til their One Bad Day. Still no problems containing them with electric - they test it every now and then but no real issues. They've turned 1 acre...
