IWM's problem is you have most of these companies relying on debt. Some completely unprofitable and 100% reliant on cheap debt. Since the tightening cycle, it has really put a ton of pressure on those companies. It is a precarious situation where we have a current stagflationary environment...

You're not necessarily locked in. You can sell on the open market if absolutely necessary. And if we get Fed rate cuts, the underlying value of the bond will increase. (Inverse relationship price vs yield)

SPAXX isn't terrible to park cash in, as you are getting just under 4% yield (minus fees). Better than sitting in a bank account. You can always buy 3 month treasuries currently yielding 4.04% (no fees). The return likely drops after Fed rate cut next week though. There is a 3 & 6 month bill...

And a dozen eggs to cost $50 by end-2026

The extreme version of currency devaluation (Venezuela).

Dollar destruction in a chart.

IWM creeping into a triple top on the monthly dating back to 2020.

Fuckin boomers.

My mother had hers with some retarded Edward Jones managed advisor account. Years back I finally took a look at what she was invested in and it was a complete train wreck not even keeping up with S&P and charging her hefty fees for the underperformance. I had her open a Fidelity account and move...

Oracle monthly. Wow.

Because fuck ads, thats why. A few consult site's I do time on have locked down networks, but I can still watch my ad-free YT content. Worth every penny.

I am with @jayrebb on this one. I have a YouTube premium account I have been paying for a very long time. My algo is pretty damn well curated. It takes a long time to get a handle on what you want. My feed is consistent finance, tech, sailing / yacht charter, ancient history, and some...

My UNH shares are mooning. Up nearly 15k now

Ticker OCTO (crypto related) up a mere 4000%+ today.

Take the 5mil, drop it into bonds and live off 150k-200k per year with zero risk and no drawdown. Easy answer.

Median prices still going up, intererestingly.

I uninstalled over a month ago. What are you looking for? (did i promise something and forget?) Post in the THJ thread and I will pick up the convo there.

Also a note, Bitcoin testing trading under the 100D here again today.

TradingView doing a decent flash sale on annual subs. Premium at $18 per month is the solid deal for 70% off. Typically need to wait until Black Friday deals for this level of discount.

Update: Bitcoin value has erased the entire post-Powell bump.

Interesting look in Bitcoin this weekend. It is just fading, lost the 20 and 50D MAs. Lost 50% of the post-Powell move so far. Maybe it wants to retest the 100D? Important to watch, as BTC has generally been a risk-on / risk-off indicator to the market in recent months.

Yes, this is the key problem. Your portfolio increased, but your purchasing power plummets with a weaker dollar. (Weaker dollar makes it easy on the gov to repay debt at future devalued currency). All at the expense of savers. If you’re not invested in assets, you’re getting blown up in wealth...

Stagflation baby. Let’s rip new ATHs!

One of the other positives for the launch was the really big push for voice acting quite early in the genre. Hell, the iconic Christopher Lee voiced Lucan. But of course, from memory, that died off pretty quickly after subsequent xpacs. It was still there, but far less budget focused.

Locked encounters was one of the most pants on head retarded things they pulled for an MMO. I remember outside the (new) Qeynos starting gate and wanting to heal some poor schmuck getting beaten up by a mob. Nope. Locked, cant buff or heal anyone engaged with anything. I am sure some bean...

Yet a handful of enthusiasts can make compelling Emu servers and innovate the gameplay better than current EQ Devs. (Not a game engine specific thing, I know. But highlighting what can be accomplished when you give a shit about the game itself.)

What’s your problem with pets.com?

Trouble in AI froth land? Zuck also announced a freeze on all AI hires as of yesterday.

Wasn’t part of EQ2 engine’s issues (of many) that it was designed in the era of single core processors and they built the engine with future efficiency / raw GHz improvements in mind. Little did they know, multi core processors rolled out around 2006 and multi core processing became the new...

Cramer strikes again

What is going to stop a future Emu being completely off-shored? Wasn’t one of the obvious mistakes of THJ hosting in the US? What is preventing a literal clone copy being put up hosted overseas immediately after a ruling against THJ?

AI is the market. Period.

One heck of an uneventful OpEx

Which goes hand in hand with my observations. The pace was just far too quick. The nostalgia was great, but in classic, you spend an hour in one single dungeon and you’ve out-leveled every other dungeon in its range. There is so much great EQ content, but you never saw most of it and suddenly...

@Flobee I think the gripes came from 2 things. #1 @hory hit on. The lack of balance was absurd here. Petcucks literally could just park in zones like DN and AFK level both their AA and gear. Nothing was done about this whatsoever. #2 The real grind, I found, wasn't all that difficult, but...

This could turn it around for EQ in a browser!
