    Are you invested in only DJIA companies? The rest of the market blasted past those February levels a couple weeks ago.

    Weird. Apparently VTI and VTSMX hold Tesla, but VTSAX does not. Unless for some reason they just don't differentiate between VTSMX and VTSAX. https://advisors.vanguard.com/VGApp/iip/site/advisor/analysistools/holdingssearch?searchinfo=TSLA&isin=&orgCode=&selectedFunds=

    I mean, they have separate finances and a few years ago I had a sit down with my mom about planning for retirement. She's close, if not already, a millionaire on her own.

    Bummed about tonight's eviction. Didn't care for her at first, but she was starting to grow on me. Wife and I started watching BB14 (we started on 15 or 16 I think), and I'm enjoying her and Britney there. And wow, reading Reddit (since they watch live feeds), David is fucking terrible...

    Yeah, was talking to my mom a couple months ago and her boyfriend is now a millionaire, and she had mentioned he had a significant amount of Tesla stock. He's in his mid-50's though, so I'm hoping he decides to divest a bit of it elsewhere. But considering how long ago that was, I'm kind of...

    Except we're not Japan. You talk about the Boomers, but there is a Millennial generation just as large that is now in the consumption phase. Japan didn't have that.

    I enjoy time loop movies. That this was kind of a "this dude's been living it forever" where you see Bill Murray probably years or decades into it made it a little more interesting. I'd really like to see them do a movie based on Replay. It's a book about a guy who has a heart attack in middle...

    I swear I saw Robert Redford in that trailer too. Sitting to the left of Reagan. It's probably some CoD character I'm not familiar with, having never played the series til now.

    That's my thinking. The stuff I see to "hurricane proof" a house, materials wise, seems pretty cheap and easy. But water? Not a whole lot to do about that. And storm surge on the coast seems to be the biggest issue anyway. So build a house on stilts out of modern materials, and it seems like...

    Whole thing is just making me more adamant that I buy/build a house on stilts when we move to Florida. The wind I don't feel like is a huge deal. As long as I can deal with storm surge, I think a house will survive.

    Posted that in the Politics thread yesterday and no one seemed to comment. I honestly can't make sense of what it is, although the statement obviously hasn't come yet. But it sounds like they want...more inflation? Than what was already coming, no less?

    Not sure why you're taking this so personally. Are you a meteorologist? That's who I was calling out. And I'll point again to 2 posts previous to mine where they were still modeling the hurricanes colliding as of Sunday night. Is that NOAA? Fuck if I know, their website sucks.

    Weird, because I just saw something that said the CDC revised their guidelines that air travel and interstate travel are no longer recommended for having a 14 day quarantine. Seems like that'd be great news for the airlines.

    Dunno, I watched people play that Spider-man game and it looked fun as shit. This looks like you run around as Hulk or Black Widow (why?) and...feel like you're a level 5 player in an MMO, getting the shit kicked out of you by everything in a soulless world.

    I guess...if you ignore that less than 24 hours ago they were still forecasting that they'd collide. I mean shit, 2 posts before mine is video proof.

    What are the odds their models are shit and either the one hurricane doesn't turn west, or if they do, they collide and both completely disappear? Edit: Shit, nevermind. Already happened. Marco made landfall and is expected to become a TS this evening already a tropical storm. Expected to...

    I'm convinced the top streamers are placed into crap lobbies to bypass SBMM. Go and watch shroud play and you'll find him get absolutely assblasted like I do. I'm sure at some point they'll adjust his, but they haven't yet. Shroud is a good example, personally, because we got matched with him...

    This idea that muscular people are just hulking monsters that can't even wipe their own asses is retarded and you should feel dumb for buying into it.

    A friend of ours had some extra dumbbells we had given her (pair of 10, 25, 30, 35; also a 55 that was sitting in garage), but she's moving out of the state and gave them back. Can't figure out how much to sell them for. I think normally they're like 50 cents to a dollar per pound. Amazon has...

    This. "Named storm" is not the same as hurricane. Been noticing the media freaking out about all the named storms, but there's only been I believe 2 hurricanes. Significantly less than "forecast."

    Oh shit, I saw the first post and rolled my eyes, and for some reason your image I'm like "that looks super familiar." Wife and I ate at that pizza place back in 2011, before I went to OCS. The hotel we stayed at might be there on the right. Super nice place.

    Had we opened everything back up in May/June like we were sold on, we probably could've salvaged the economy. The hit wasn't nearly as big as expected. But because we didn't, it's still lingering. We're going to have a massive economic collapse incoming.

    Absolutely. If you need cash, liquidate some of your portfolio. If you're at the point where losing your job means you have to liquidate a $200k+ portfolio though, your risk evaluation is all kinds of fucked up. You never should've been in that scenario to begin with. Liquidating it at the...
