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.

I put it down in my parents sunroom. Good enough for there. Not a lot of traffic and they put the plants in there in the winter. Went down real easy.

I've never tried to time the market as whole. I get a sizable bonus (or at least used to) and I put it all in my retirement at once each year. Now my play around money I would swing trade. Even looking at indexes if you expand the chart out and show back to before covid and up to 5 years ago the...

I had to be out all day. At least 3 different times the "market" came up from people in no way related to it and never speak about it to me. Wonder how much is a percentage of people hearing "the market is down" and a semi panic of moving shit around comes out of it.

Covid cause a lot of moving around job wise for doctors? It's been difficult to see a Dr. more than once and then they are gone. Multiple specialities and multiple hospital groups in two different states. Like the great reshuffle. Get a new diagnosis and a 2nd opinion is out of question, it's go...

Lumber prices are headed back up. Just noticed as I'm not buying everyday. Of course I googled it when I noticed and the first response was "because of climate change"

That would cut into my pay when I'm working. Lot of engineers (not computer science) will not even walk 30 feet from the office to talk to someone in the shop for 5 minutes, even though the shop is air conditioned. It's beneath them. See it all the time. One engineer literally laughed and said...

They turned around, when I looked when I got up they were all hovering around -20

Futures looking down across the board again.

Eve Online CEO said the future is NFT's and tieing real world money into games for stuff you earn/make. He wakes up in a new dream weekly. The link for the article fame from discussion on that. I never read that...

They're waiting for the up to date stuff from CNN. Then they will know.
