I feel like the VIX is one of those things that holds even less meaningfulness than technical analysis. Just look at the last six months of VIX versus what the stock market did and tell me that this is a valuable tool anymore. Or are VIX values of 16 a sign that 3% daily swings are normal?

I think this is part of why I like the support classes so much. Of the classes I've played you either feel like you're made of paper, or tanky as hell. And supports with their ability to essentially take care of it themselves makes them fall into that tanky feel.

That seems like a quick turnaround.

It's bizarre they still haven't moved the super easy gold off the welcome pass thing. They fucked up rapport but that remains.

Seems weird to say the economy isn't impacted. We've had plenty of people here talking about how the supply chain is fucking their business. It's only not impacting it if you buy into the bullshit numbers the administration puts out about how amazing everything is. Otherwise it's actually a...

Weird for ZH to make that mistake. A recession is always trailing. Generally we've pulled out of it by the time we get two quarters of data. It's very possible this is the 2nd quarter and we start pulling out of it immediately. Meaning recession isn't "on deck" but "almost over." Or it could...

Hope that doesn't spell doom for the game.

Good shit, didn't even realize season two was coming out anytime soon. Season one was hilarious.

I'll take it over another 1-2% red day.

Awesome, another -1.5%+ red day. We're getting fewer bounce back days. Shit is starting to look more like an actual bear market with a massive drop off. Unfortunately that pattern is starting after we already had a huge drop. There's basically no good news anywhere in the economy. I don't see...

Part of this is also not really feasible for the masses. Guessing you have a shit load of gold, cause most people don't have the excess to do instant una's. I also forgot rapport. Guess that's completely optional, but that shit adds up too. I'm also a bit suspect on these 3 minute chaos runs...

People keep saying stuff like that, but there's no way it takes you an hour unless you're literally just running lopang on all 9 chars and that's it. Just doing one character with 3x una, 2x chaos, 2x guardian, and loading screens you're probably at least at a half hour. If you're completely...

I'm getting better with it. I'm getting a lot closer to finishing all the una's, I've got just 3 continents (Yorn, Feiton, South Vern) where I need to finish up cooking and stuff but the rest is rapport, I'm basically done mokokos, need one more masterpiece (for rune), and one more island for...

The game suffers from an inverse fun to content ratio. The most fun content is gated to being weekly, whereas the shit everyone hates is daily.

Wonder where their CFO got their degree. That's insane.

Wasn't it just last week they said inflation was expected to be under control? These jackasses, man...

Bullshit. You can go back in the Politics thread when Trump signed both omnibus bills and find tons of posts of people who like Trump but hated the decision. I'm also not sure of anyone who's said interest rates near zero when the economy was booming was smart. I think the consensus was it'd...

Negative GDP, highest gas prices in history, low workforce participation, but I should be happy because it could be as bad as other countries? I didn't want a stock market crash and recession to deal with inflation, I wanted the government to stop spending insane amounts of money so we wouldn't...

Man, this shit is getting tiresome. I know we're not supposed to get political, but our country is such a fucking shit show right now. Like, read about 1973 and how fucked everything was between inflation, the gas crisis, and GDP. And then keep in mind that they had interest rates to somewhat...

Same complaints we saw in New World. Somehow the largest server hosting company in the country can't be assed to utilize that infrastructure for their own products.

I really hope we pull out of this tailspin before the end of the year. Don't particularly want to liquidate anything when we're down 20%. Like before, the economy looks like shit, so I get it, but also at the same time I don't know where investments are going. Cash is obviously terrible, bonds...

Amazing how I'm so much worse off with PLTR than I was with AMC when Robinhood fucked us by shutting off trading. It's that bad.

That's funny, we just got back from a van trip a few weeks ago. I told my wife I sometimes wondered if people were judging us when we had California plates. I always felt like people assumed I was an asshole. Now we have Florida plates and I just assume everyone is jealous. Probably all in my...

You're saying if we went back to before everyone realized they were trying to groom all children we wouldn't have had a problem with it? What a shocker. The part you lose me is that you're saying now that we do know, we should just ignore it as harmless.

If that's the case though, we're in for a ridiculously bad time. We're already partially through a large drop (-13%), if this is just the beginning, well...fuck.

I think people forget 2008 and how it didn't all come crashing down in an afternoon. It was really a 3-5 month event from top to finally fitting bottom. In this current situation, we've done so much to try to soften the landing that it'll probably get drawn out for way longer. Edit: And as...

You already run South Vern through all your alts? I'm one short on Solas too, but ended up getting a legendary (can't remember which, Delain Armen maybe?) to awaken one of the other cards.

That's the point I'm making? The only people who know who the Fed are, who are paying attention to these announcements, are in tune enough with how it all works to know what the Fed is saying is bullshit.

They can still do whatever they want. I just don't get the lying about stuff that anyone who would actually listen to the Fed knows isn't true. It's not like Biden lying about something so CNN can run a soundbyte. No one who actually makes an effort to listen to the Fed is stupid enough to...

Holy shit. And here I thought I had a lot with 5 in T3.

It's really amazing. Between him and Yellen it's a whole lot of denial about things that are incredibly obvious. From "transitory inflation" to "we don't see signs of a recession," it's all just bullshit coming from them.

Holy shit that spike.

Slow death it is.

LOL "The $869 million Sierra Tactical All Asset Fund -- a so-called fund of funds that invests in mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, held less than 3% in U.S. stocks at the end of April. More than half of the fund is in cash. Fixed-rated bonds accounted for only 1% of its holdings, while...

Yep, time in the market beats timing the market. Put it in today and move on. If you're really paranoid about it, dollar cost average it over the next several months. But trying to time the market is a fools errand. Look for market timing simulators, which use actual market performance, and I...

VTSAX or VFIAX, and add VWIGX if you want any international exposure. My entire portfolio is in VTSAX.

I was going to call this foolish as we lived near the Sierras, and everyone made a big stink about giardia. Before posting though I looked it up and apparently the risk is so ridiculously overblown that everyone is afraid of mountain water. Which, being snow melt, you'd imagine would be pretty...

That she got any severance is pretty remarkable.
