I'm saying your comment makes no sense whatsoever because you've misread the article. But I'm trying not to say it the way I'd say it in the Politics forum. The article is saying that the S&P performed better in the 6-12 months after surveys said it was going to tank, then it did during other...

I know this is the grown up section of the forums and I'm trying but I feel like you may be missing the meaning of the phrase "above average" in the article I posted

https://www.tradingview.com/news/reuters.com,2022:newsml_L2N2WK160:3-bulls-remain-depressed/ I do speak English as my first language, but need to clarify. So the American Association of Individual Investors Sentiment Survey (AAII) consistently and reliably gets it wrong? Is that what this is...

TWTR up 5%, well over the price when Musk first announced his plans. Anyone see what news drove this rise today?

While I'm certainly not skeptical about oil rising, why you do say this specifically?

Fidelity is finally offering trades on ONTTF again. Got mine at 4.52. I've posted about it before, but this is purely based on the technology rather than any financial details. IMO this is poised to be the next winner in DNA sequencing tech, purely from the technology standpoint. The current...

Yeah I sure never hear the Pope make any statements on political matters. Only those awful " " " Evangelicals " " "

I don't know why people are worfing this post, its more plausible than any of the shakycam videos of streetlights that get lots of serious discussion And way more entertaining.

You made the right decision. The first 2/3 of the book are awesome. Then that fucking third part that makes you question why any of us ever consider Stephenson to be even a halfway competent writer I'm still saltier about the third part of that book than I am about the ending of Lost

yeah I wonder why radio would still be a thing Sure the format sucks, but it has the advantage of actually fucking working outside of urban shitholes

I agree with this long term. But I also think a global free speech platform is a fundamentally different thing than what social media is, at least now. And could in the long term turn into something much more valuable.

I keep reading your posts on the subject and agreeing but then waiting for you to bring up the downside A globally important shitposting forum with Elon Musk in charge? I've never looked twice at Twitter but I bought some the second I heard and will probably add more once it drops farther I...

The value of twitter (I cant fucking believe I'm typing that phrase) isnt the tech, its the cultural influence. When OSC wrote Ender and Valentine shaping the politics of their world through anonymous arguments on the internet, it was fiction. Its reality now, and thats largely because of...

Honestly, your description makes it sound like the ideal investment for this timeline and now I'm looking at TWTR for the first time ever

I've been wanting to bring up DNA sequencing for a while. This was just a research technology for a long time but covid officially changed that - people speculated about personalized medicine blah blah blah for a decade. But once we started sequencing covid samples on an unprecedented scale to...

This is a good point, it makes this even more regressive than the usual Dem anti-gas policies. Now us poors get hit twice - rising gas costs are a larger fraction of our income AND the shit gas blends will wreck our engines.

lol ethanol as a control on gas prices. Hows that supposed to work? the price goes down a little, but fuel efficiency also goes down so you have to buy more. Meanwhile food prices go up. Go Brandon!

theyre literally eating the biofilm - a layer of bacteria and other microbes that covers all submerged surfaces. There is no lower you can go down the food chain here on Earth. I don't understand why humans have allowed this species to coexist with us for so long. So gross.

Looks like things are finally flattening out for me after only losing half my goddam Q1 earnings in a week Q1 was ridiculously kind to me, but it turns out to be a fickle bitch

Decided to DIY a plucker, I'll post once I finish. In the past I've said negative things about free ranging chickens. I need to take that back. After moving the chicken coop and building a new fence, we've started free ranging both our layers and our meat birds. Something about the new layout...

I see it differently. I don't see this as Will Smith trying to be miserable. This is a cautionary tale about wife choice. Tie yourself to the wrong woman and your life will be miserable, even if you're a world-wide beloved millionaire movie star.

Feel free to laugh at me for just discovering this, but maybe theres someone who hasnt used it yet. The Analysis tab at Fidelity has some great tools for quickly identifying issues with my portfolio. One of my index funds has more AMZN and GOOG than I realized, leaving me with a concentration...

ok folks anyone got experience with chicken pluckers? We're 6 weeks from harvest day and starting to prepare. I see lots of DIY plans online, a variety of designs. Anyone made or used a DIY chicken plucker? I'm not opposed to buying one if thats the right way to go; we're raising at least 50...

The way some of you talk about taking the risk of watching movies movies sounds more cautious than I am when investing. And I'm a poor. This looks great

What? No, everybody prefers white girls, obviously, by a large margin. Thats the root cause of half the fucked up race shit in the world today.

My horizon is long, its not a question of being bothered by it in terms of "oh shit I'm gonna lose my money". I'm invested in index funds, commodities, stocks I plan to hold long term, and stocks I plan to hold shorter term. As a noob I make mistakes and expect that; over a long enough time I'm...

If a person were to find their portfolio shrinking by 1-2% per day consistently for about a week, is taking any action advisable or is the right move to stop watching it and just come back in a month? asking for a friend

Its true, youve both nailed areas my portfolio lacks (aside from index funds) - consumer staples and healthcare. Every time I look for something to buy in either sector I only seem to find stocks at their ATH. Got plenty of energy but just apparently the wrong ones!

Khonshu just constantly talking shit about Steven is great. What was his first line? Something like "Oh great, the idiots awake"

Out of curiosity, and to learn for future such events, is anyone holding something that didnt get assraped over the last few days? I don't see anything systematic in the top gainers. Looking at my own portfolio, its commodities down, most stocks down across all sectors. A couple unimportant...

literally all english accents sound exactly the same*, so not sure what youre on about (*ridiculous and just a little faggy, like they tried it once but theyre not really gay, they just really like candles and sometimes sit with their legs crossed, so what?)

So I'd been really enjoying this new game until today Motherfuck

The longer it goes the more money I'd put on this ending exactly the same way as Lost: The finale makes it 100% clear the whole show was just "lol theyre in purgatory", after which the showrunners will give an interview saying "no the viewers misunderstood, they're not in purgatory" This has...

Fucking lol. Yup, I'm out. It started so good. Even had a fan favorite openly gay character with a gay romance as a major plot point, and it worked, but was that enough for them? Of fucking course not. It's never enough. I don't want to know what comes next

Because the news that prompted the rise was long term and remains in place, while the news that prompted the drop was specifically short term. Imo of course, who knows. Just explaining the reason for my comment

Oil falling back below $100 was one of the most ridiculous things I've seen since I started watching the market. I don't see that it takes any news for it to go back up, just traders remembering what they apparently forgot over the past week or two.

I think its surprising that traders are letting oil sit there below 100 when we know that the two biggest factors behind the recent drop (China's temporary reduction in demand, and Bidens futile release from the reserve) are temporary on a scale of perhaps a week or two. That shit will be back...

"This forum" is predictable? Thats a really funny way of inverting things. Correctly identify obvious wokeness in a movie, wokeness so cliched and obvious that we could outline the major themes without even watching the preview. But its the people who are noticing this that are predictable...

You shut your whore mouth. The Famous Star with Cheese is the best mainstream fast food burger available in America today. Not talking about special items available for a limited time, or special restaurant style burgers, etc. Just straight up mainstream fast food burgers. #2 on the list...

Its really weird that in like a week of the whole country making fun of Will Smith, this obvious issue gets so little play I mean its like, thats the joke - its not that other dudes were fucking some hot young piece of ass - the whole thing is about a woman that looks like that
