Red now.

Kick the can to a new level.

But you can make a TON of money at work and the market. Nevermind the fact that a candy bar is now $20 you make more money and that's the selling point. My grandmother died at age 100 and I heard it until the day she died almost, she missed 20% CD's lol. Of course she didn't spend any money.

Uncertaintity, I would say that's it when nobody knows what the fed is doing and when.

Yeah I remember. I was a mega nerd as a kid. We took 4 papers a day and I read them front to back. 2 local a morning and afternoon paper, the Houston Chronicle, and the Wall Street Journal. But yeah recently watched a documentary on the period.

Dow Jones turned negative. Too much baked in for must raise rates apparently.

I believe after the Carter mega inflation years the first thing they did was cut out the money supply pumping and then up the interest rates. I guess not having another stimulus counts as cutting the money supply but....

Anyone use the crafting simulator on craftofexile.com ? I guess eventually I'm going to dip my toe into crafting. Worth using or other suggestions?

Lumber going back up wildly again :( sad to say. I wish I had a friend that had an inside ear to OPEC lol. I did read for whatever reason some OPEC countries are having a hard time getting their production back up. Guessing shutdowns and such don't work well for them.

I guess have a company totally run by MBA's they can make something out of nothing. Now building a plane that flies is another matter.

Good luck with the house. I never followed a traditional investment path. I wanted my house paid for (and property tax here is incredibly cheap) to go through downturns in industry I work in. Once that was out of the way then I could get onto other things. Obviouslyl would make money sense to...

If you speak the language you can see an Afghan review the weapons that were left when the US left.

The places I've been going aren't that rural for the hospitals. Baton Rouge, LA. New Orleans, LA and San Antonio, TX. Small town nearest me the doctor I use grew up here, his dad is a doctor. He played college baseball and then got his MD and moved back. He still makes house calls believe it or...

My mineral rights production is beating inflation at least.

I have very bad handwriting. I had two options in life. Become a doctor or work in the engineering field lol.

My energy ETF that I just got back into is up 4% for the day.

The good old horsehead nebula.

Know the feeling. 25 years ago went to Florida around spring break time for a professional thing. Near Ocala in the middle of nowhere. Anyway several people were hyped having never went to spring break to head down to the beach and check it out. It froze overnight and the orange growers were...

Opened near there so....

NM found it.

I'm relatively low risk in my long term retirement. I would be less risk adverse in that stuff if I spent a lot of time researching the stuff I needed to feel comfortable. Instead I just leave it there and then do X amount of investing in private companies that I have a LOT more input in. Long...

Prior to getting sick I could spend all day in the shop at the house. Working on something, building something etc.. Running the lathe, mill, welding/fabbing something. From just stuff to building giant scale R/C planes, a teardrop camper etc....Also just getting out in the woods a LOT. I...

Politics in video.

All my long term stuff is in in index ETF's. I swing trade from time to time in industries I deal with short term. I don't know but reading online sometimes (not here) a fair number of people seem to be speculators and not investors. Flavor of the day they heard from somewhere else and on top of...

Mass market timing via telepathy, for my next trick....

Market doens't like uncertaintity. Not to get political but on top of the uncertaintity we've had the last couple of years we have another layer added on now.

I guess "some" people do it out of semi panic thinking that gold will hold value even in a large downturn more than stocks. Which as you pointed out why if you wanted to hedge not hedge when you could buy it cheap if your plan is for it to go up in a downturn. I don't know either. Of course...

My private investments have been in total 100% hold on and see what happens since the 1st. Not my doing but I can only invest when a private company wants an investment.... Warmed up, think I'll go out and smoke a cigar and watch as usual.

Yeah kind of surprised it took this long. Seen several people ask the last week on other boards should they stop contribuiting to their 401k.

Nasdaq down 4% on the day. Gold down a little, but nothing like most everything else at least.

Saw article the other day talking about Doc Severinsen from the Carson show with an interview, he's still alive? Carson been off the air 30 years now. People think someone is dead and then someone pops up and think they are still alive? lol.

Saw Peleton investors want a new CEO lol, little late for that.

Futures were positive late last night. Then I saw some headlines about Asia and Europe being dragged down by Ukraine news. Then....

Upcoming manifesto announced. I guess they unchained Chris.

Kind of living on borrowed time for a while. I haven't seen him in years, assume he was still overweight. Cancer of course not realted to the weight.

Yesterday and today was somewhere all day I couldn't even use a cell phone.

So far.

Rained here all morning and low of 22 tonight. Long enough break I'm pretty sure the roads will dry off from traffic by then. It stopped raining and 35F. Further north looks like it's going to be an ugly ice deal.
