I really thought this was a Christmas horror movie or something. Turns out it's just an adult Christmas movie in the same vein as Die Hard. Except with the violence of a Saw movie, or creativeness of Final Destination. Thoroughly surprised. Would recommend.

Sorry it's Vox, but it explains why it's bullshit. https://www.vox.com/2016/1/19/10788306/wind-chill-meaning

I have to listen to music. Loud. Otherwise I can hear all my old man joints cracking and popping, and that shit makes me nauseous.

Service with less and less content as time goes on, starts effectively jacking the rates up on all their customers. I wouldn't be surprised if Netflix goes the way of Blockbuster in the next 5-10 years.

I thought the 100 year thing was really a percentage. So a 100 year flood has a 1% chance of happening in any given year. It's an actuarial thing, not a science measure from the entire history of the planet.

Same here. Gets back to mid-60's by the middle of next week, and 70's for the weekend. The lowest we should be getting is 20F though, so not quite as cold as Texas.

Amazing what happens when you fire all the dead weight and get rid of the fuckery. You actually start...developing features.

The conversion itself isn't complicated. At least, not my understanding of it. The complicated portion is controlling our income. For ACA, you basically have to give them an estimate of your income by mid-December, and from that they give you a subsidy to your premiums for the upcoming year (if...

Wow, my realized gains are super low. I guess because the taxable account wasn't even opened until 2018. I did another $15k today, and I'm going to guess my total is around $3-3.5k in gains. So now I'm in a situation where I'm going to need to do a massive Roth conversion to "manufacture"...

Seems about right. That front is predicted to move in fast and drop temps like a rock. Here in Florida I've got a high of 66 and low of 27 on Thursday. And then it'll struggle to get barely above freezing midday Friday through Sunday.

So since the market has decided to fuck with me, I think I've come up with a new plan for the year. My estimate is that we need $50k for 2023 spending (and this is about what we input for our ACA coverage). I had originally planned on liquidating $50k from our taxable, figuring out what the...

This guy did what I was too lazy to do (overlay the two). But I talked about it a few times in here and Politics (or the Inflation thread). The timeline is not quite the same anymore, as we would've hit our massive drop sometime back around August or September. But that's really minor. For...

If we see similar, that'd be hitting the low YTD. Repeat of 2008 here we come?

Didn't they just yesterday say there was some massive amount (in more billions than 6) of selling?

Jesus, PLTR down to new lows. Thought I'd done well flipping it and getting down to a $6.90 cost basis. Should've just cut it back in the mid-$7's.

When "fantasy" just becomes a mashup of modern issues in a forest setting, is it really even fantasy anymore?

Feel like maybe that one should go to whoever was the furthest off.

That seems to make my point? Wouldn't the algorithms have done all this trading yesterday? Nothing changed between the FOMC and this morning.

Always baffled by when the markets dump the day after the bad news. And in this case I don't even understand why yesterday was considered bad, as it should've already been priced in. Add in the CPI data and we should be green on the week.

17k views. Starz just sucks for this show. For some reason they're incapable of promoting it. Also, fuck Lizzy Caplan for thinking that Fleischman show was a better choice to do than this.

It's sad when you look at the 70s which is the only real comparison we have. We're almost following it to a T. We'll let off, get a year or so reprieve, and then inflation will really kick into high gear making this look tame in comparison. It's doubly sad that they've had the blueprint on what...

Man, this thread is depressing. My father in law is in hospice and probably has a week or so left at the most. Brother in law (my wife's only sibling) was able to get some paperwork done kind of last minute where my mother in law will get $215k in "disability." I believe it's already gone...

Like I said last week, it's VTSAX with Vanguard, and not the ETF version. So it settles out at the end of trading. Like yesterday I waited until about 15 min before close to sell. I wouldn't be doing anything today until after the FOMC.

Is that a bad thing?

Well that's just stupid. I'd say the chance of 75 is higher than 25, as Powell hasn't actually indicated any tapering. Everyone has just been assuming so.

Well that was a mistake. Holy shit at this open. No regrats though.

If we really do get 50 basis points today and Powell doesn't decide to do his foot in mouth shit, we could be in for a monster day. Although I do wonder if we aren't muted this morning until the Fed meeting in anticipation.

People expecting massive volatility. In both directions. Going to be lots of winners and just as many losers.

Sold the first $20k out of our retirement (although technically this is from our taxable). Really hard to time this shit. I missed the 4100 last week and I didn't want to leave all of it up to chance with the announcements this week. Still have a bit more to do, and maybe some traditional to...

It was because of some spammers, but I can't remember what they were spamming for. I feel like it was some luxury brand shit like Gucci.

Speaking of ridiculous banned words, remember when coli was banned on misc and people were having to add spaces to broccoli to get it through?

Too hard to answer without knowing your personal risk tolerance, your time horizon for needing the money, and general feelings about the future. If you're high risk tolerance, believe the US as a country will continue into the future, and don't need the money for a decade or longer, equities...

Hard to get excited about a spaceship crashing into the ocean when the technology is now there to, you know...not. It'd be like celebrating a car stopping by driving into a giant net instead of just braking.

I think over 750 is all that matters. Wife and I both were up in the 820s. I ended up getting a medical collection I never knew about it and it tanked me a ton. Was still able to get the lowest rates on our mortgage (I was able to get the collection expunged midway through and it didn't impact...

I've been miscing since 2009, so apparently yes?

Jesus, dude, get a grip. It's a fucking internet forum.

Down into the toilet...again...now.

We'd need more than a 12.5% increase from today for me to lose (4465 S&P 500). The alternative would be a 25.8% drop (2947), which seems even more unlikely.

Looks like I'll inevitably win the stocks contest. There will be no end of year rally.
