I only check our accounts once a month. Haven't sold anything, only been buying. We're down about $120k. But that's only looking at months end. Had I checked mid-February at the top, and mid-March at the bottom, it'd probably have been about $160-170k. Fuck that's painful.

I only read half of it before giving up. Sounds like just another person trying to make everyone think the world is going to end because their job got tougher. 2008 happened because of credit default swaps, not just because of bad mortgages. Had it just been a mortgage crisis, it would've been...

Downloaded the first two on the off chance the season ended up being good (and HBO loves to nuke stuff). Think I may just say fuck it though. You all aren't selling me on it.

Edit: Apparently that's Huntington Beach. Oh well.

I've caught some of it over the years. It's super awkward. Just these random ass people slightly out of the shot on the crew. It seems like most of their time is spent just bullshitting around camp. Lounging, talking about food.

I think all that stuff still happens, but like @Kiroy said, the producers follow a formula now. And apparently the majority of the viewing audience doesn't care about the "survival" aspects anymore.

Most of the newer players didn't deserve their wins. It's the new era of Survivor with butthurt juries who award it to the least offensive remaining player.

Of course my fucking IRA contributions will go in today. Motherfucker! I do think I got one good timing for my 401k, but otherwise most of my automatics have been on up days.

That's why I said this as probably priced in. Expect next Thursday to be bad though.

Yep, although hopefully it's priced in. I don't think next Thursday's unemployment numbers would be though, and I expect a massive drop then.

Just saw that season 4 is delayed indefinitely because of COVID-19. I guess they hadn't wrapped up production? Seems like a month before premiere you would've been finished.

Definitely wouldn't be the first massive single day gain of this.

You seem to be operating on the assumption that our economy is bulletproof and will always survive. While that's incredibly likely, it's not outside of the realm of possibility that the country we live in now ceases to exist.

Looks like we're back in 4% range again. Super.

If it were up to the people to decide, you'd be right. Hopefully the morons in government realize how badly they fucked this up. Apparently they don't realize how fast you can destroy the economy by shutting everything down for a week.

2012 was 8 years ago.

Okay, that was pretty baller to use Sandra's own idol against her, and then on top of it bargain to keep a fire token. She wasted her own idol in the process, but it probably doesn't matter. Parv going out sucks, but it was inevitable. It's crazy how many seasons some of these people have...

Boeing's issues are company wide. The Max is just a symptom. If not for the fact that they're the only major domestic manufacturer, they'd probably go bankrupt and the pieces would be sold off. Also, their federal contracts help. But I wouldn't touch that company with any investments. I...

At this point you're just locking in losses. If you had the foresight to sell early, you're good as long as you can buy in sometime soon. But there's no reason to sell at this point. Just buy. It can definitely still fall. Even if we hit 1500 S&P, I wouldn't be surprised, but I'll be buying the...

Yeah, Fed fucked this up. Just like they fucked up the recovery from 2008. Well done.

Feels like the Fed always makes shit worse with their meddling.

Jon Hamm as Larry fucking killed me. That was a solid Curb episode. I actually think the asking the Asians in the Chinese restaurant part was probably the most classic Curb type scene. Also, anyone know what shoes those were that Jon was wearing?

It's probably a delicate balance, pretty much with the argument Tyson and Tony were making. Yeah, you get rid of a threat, but also that threat is a HUGE shield. As long as Rob is in the game, the "next threat up" isn't you. Since they're all winners, they're probably all assuming they...

The bond bubble is essentially gone at this point. It lasted a good 30 years though. It didn't pop as much as just whimper away.

This season is so enjoyable. I'm afraid normal seasons are going to be a massive letdown after this (see my previous posts over the last few seasons about how I was going to stop watching). That immunity challenge was NUTS! Also, Tyson's innocent remark about their firewood at the end was...

Unless you're expecting to be in a higher bracket, which is unlikely, a Traditional is a better fit. Since you're currently employed, and saving enough to actually have, y'know, savings, you're likely earning higher than you will be drawing in retirement. The only caveat is the idea that we get...

Don't be a Furry. This is awful math. If it really is saving you $1500 in a single year, how could that possibly be beaten by a Roth? Doesn't matter if you're talking single or joint either, one is 25% savings and the other is 12.5%...immediately. You're applying some weird fallacy about how...

I guess there's no one with an income between "high school student" and "Roth IRA phase out." Seriously, you're a fucking moron. I hope no one takes any financial advice from you.

And this is why market timing is so hard. You have to call the top and the bottom correctly. Good luck.

God you're a shit poster. This is complete garbage advice. The tax deferment from a traditional makes it vastly superior to most people if they're actually paying income taxes. Roth is only better if you're in a low tax bracket or if you're past the phase out on traditional.

What are you trying to do with it, Tuco? I went with Renogy for my shit, mostly because they're an American company. Also, they're located in CA, so if I had any issues with it I could've just driven over. Plus a 100A lithium battery I bought directly from them (I would recommend going AGM...

Our accounts are only down about 6.9% for the month of February. Doesn't seem all that bad when you're not looking at it only from the perspective of the market high.

Yeah, haven't seen anything yet about my people (although we're strongly anti-telework). Then again, we're incredibly reactionary to most things. The earthquake response we had was fucking pathetic. My guess is that they don't do anything at all. We send tons of people on travel. If I were in...

Well shit, if Furry said it'd drop 20%, then it must drop 20%. You're just some asshole on the internet. If you actually knew what was going to happen, you'd be a fucking billionaire. You've been doing this shit in the coronavirus thread too, acting like you know everything. Shut the fuck up...

Dollar cost average on the way down and the way back up. In a couple years you won't even remember this blip.

Because you literally have no idea when the bottom will be. It might be today.

Ha! No, I was making a comparison of how little of Bloomberg's money he's actually investing into the election. I said something to the effect of, "It'd be like me throwing a few thousand at it to run for President." Something between 1/50th and 1/150th of his net worth is going into this. For...
