    I’d probably split the difference and put however much you need to eliminate the PMI on the house. Assuming it doesn’t take the full 100k, depending on your loan size. As usual the advice here is great, it won’t make sense mathematically over the 30 years but near term it will have a lot of...

    NVDA still at a 29 forward PE but starting to look pretty enticing. What do you chart wizards think? Going to test the 135 support line?

    Seems too obvious, that’s what it’s done the last 3 spikes. I’m wagering on a combo breaker green Monday

    Snagged some Netflix today. I expect it to go lower over the next quarter when the analysts downgrade and I’ll buy some more then.

    Snagged a couple hundred Twitter shares near close. I’ll vote to sell to Elon if given the chance. Probably sell covered calls in the mean time tho.

    Basically get a series of books that cover fundamental analysis + accounting, technical analysis, market psychology, market history, Austrian Economics, and indexing philosophy. Then read every Warren Buffett letter from his hedge fund days in the 50s to present because he gives in real time...

    What's the bear case on the big banks? Just dealings with Russia? One of the panelists on CNBC yesterday was short the banks but didn't really explain why. I'd think they'd be good long term buys here with rising rates. I've started nibbling (JPM the other day) and wondering if I should hold...

    Yeah my take is this whole rally is 100% based on bets that the fed doesn't do what it said it would

    Thats what makes the contrarian in me interested, and why I'm considering buying them along with JPM. Wells Fargo was the worst performer for years, then had a tremendous 2021. Their problems were obvious and pretty egregious, and what I'm really asking is if anyone has any better insight into...

    Thanks for the response. I lean toward JPM as well, since it's clearly the stronger of the two. Citi looks like a better value, but that can always be a trap. The idea of buying both is a basket approach of getting both the quality pick and value pick, because i can envision a scenario where...

    Any opinions on Citi ($C)? Want to get my exposure to financials up, currently only have Paypal and BRK.B which aren't even really banks. Thinking about grabbing some JPM and C as a "best in class" and "value" barbell. Open to some more recommendations. thought about just grabbing XLF and...

    Snagged some Pinterest and AMZN this morning. Pretty horrible chart on PINS, but I like to buy in little pieces over time. Fully expect to buy some cheaper in the future but it's so beaten down could turn on a dime.

    Ha at Christmas I was pitching BTI to my family as a solid value play and they looked at me like I was insane. low pe, massive yield, brand loyalty, pricing power and smoking rates grew last year. Downside are obvious

    Jumped in DOCU at 150 as well. Had some in the 50s pre covid crash and sold out at like 200 early in the year so missed the run to 300. Happy being back in. Any thoughts on TLT puts a few months out as an inflation hedge? The real yields (after inflation) seem insanely low. Fighting the fed is...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    What’s the reason SHIB is gaining such acceptance merchants? Fast transaction processing? Just started monthly averaging into MATIC. Trying to decide what else I should throw some money in. Was debating DOT or SHIB or TRU.

    Any advice on the must have altcoins? I’ve had eth and btc for years now but have been really passive and haven’t followed up with any thing recent. I hear a lot of mentions of MATIC, TRU, and recent discussion on SOL. Not looking for memecoins, more like something I can sit on for 5 years like...

    Smokers / Grills

    Just pulled the trigger on the RT-700. Really fucking stoked, grabbed the 220lb pellet bundle as well. Was definitely pretty pricey but all that metals gotta be an inflation hedge right?! Pagan as my Smoker Sherpa, tell me what to smoke first in a couple weeks

    Smokers / Grills

    Quick question on the Rec Tecs: does the smaller (590) use less pellets than the 700? Looks like they indicate the same burn rate. Definitely decided on one of theses, just need to decide which size.

    Thanks for the advice. Probably leaning toward the Rec Tec now. They ever go on sale or should I just pull the trigger?

    Looking at buying a new pellet grill during this year's Father's Day sales and could use some advice. I have a Weber gas grill I love but I want something to be used 90% for smoking. After reading this whole thread I've basically narrowed it down to one of the following: 1. Traeger Pro 780 2...

    Office and gaming chairs

    I followed Slippery's lead and got an Embody (also RIP dollars). Had it for 24 hours, first reaction after a ~3 hour session is that its very ergonomic (duh) but not as "comfortable" as I expected. Maybe after some use it'll conform to me a little better but while it feels very supportive and...

    Office and gaming chairs

    Man, why's it so hard to choose a chair. Wish there were places near me I could try an Omega. For the people with Secret Lab Omegas, does the curved seat keep you from sitting on a leg? Also how's the seat depth? Last chair I bought was a ~$200 KillaBee racing style chair that I like the way...

    Men's Fashion

    A buddy of mine gave use Indochino suits for his wedding, instead of renting tuxes. It was one of the cheaper models ($350?) and its pretty fantastic for that price point. Overall I'd say its a decent quality suit and probably best in class for the price. I also have a more expensive ($700ish)...

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    Agreed. While Erikson is probably my favorite author, I'd put Sanderson up in that tier with him. When Erikson is good he's unbeatable, but there have been chapters that I really had to force myself to power through. That doesn't ever happen with Sanderson.
