Ummmm, I’m almost positive you pay short term gains on options premiums outside of some special symbols like SPX. not telling you not to do whatever your plan is, just that may want to check that

Fidelity offers me IPOs all the time. I get emails almost weekly. I’ve only ever done it once. There are some rules around using it as well though I can’t remember off the top of my head, may even be different per IPO but it has to do with holding periods and such.

we were hitting all time highs on shit across the board for about 2 weeks now, some minor corrections were bound. While it’s a breadth red day most Major players are still well above 50/100/200 MAs

I am open, if final word is “FOH needs you and it’s fun“ I’ll join and play….at least for a bit. But with the current mechanics, design, and general approach, this will be a terrible death and flop. #remindme3months. im sorry. You can tout the “it’s true EQ” all you want but at some point you...

For a company that does not actually make money 900M in cash with annual expenses of 1.7B doesn’t really give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. He needs to sell BTC or issue common MSTR shares to fund that. Am I missing something?

I don’t follow it too closely either, but I know he did have to sell some BTC recently to cover(or prepare to cover?) those dividends. But generally yes, he could just sit on it all until it recovers. I think he may also have some more traditional style loans or leverage from when he was...

i have actually had to do shit like this to get jeeps out of some Moab trails.

What's the flip point on that to negative? 755/756?

Great example of not needing to understand the markets and the whole "can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent". This and their statement about absolutely not tolerating a blockade and warning people in the north of Israel to GTFO and yet barely a blip in overall market reaction! I...

I like being able to trade/sell loot in THJ. When I would make a new toon to try things I could mostly deck myself out in godmode or at least slowly do so as I hit the gear level requirement it made experimenting with crazy combos much more tolerable

I threw some money into NASA, a space ETF and I believe it has some pre-IPO spacex

Recent weeks taught me that how matter how much I think I understand the market I don’t know shit. good news: following trends and not trying to predict them has been amazing for me. And as others say a millions times, buy index and win(long term) that said I love risk and fun. So I have been...

another perfect example of thinking fun = farming and not just playing the game. Another THJ awesomeness (and many games to be honest) is trading/buying/helping-friends get gear so you can jump ahead quickly. ‘No drop” which EQ created is a fucking stupid idea. Especially in a 20 year old game...

There is no mystery, it will flop. They might be able to brag about it being the most popular EMU/TLP but it will be short lived and have no staying power. I’d also wager their “Most popular TLP” is still less than THJ had. is there a Polymarket for this? lol, I’d put a real 100 down

you can post or not where you want but you are missing the point. People are not saying “it’s not THJ so it’s bad”. We are saying “they completely misunderstand what made THJ fun”

I did and THJ consistently listened to players and always put “fun first” over making sure to cripple a gimmick or play style. Were they perfect, not by any stretch, but it was always fun first. This isn’t and it’s clear. It’s old EQ with an extra flare. Which is fucking stupid on a 20 year old...

What we have all been saying and it is looking more true by the day.

Thanks for info. I’ll keep an open mind and depending on ‘try it’ cost I will absolutely give it a go. But from reading this thread alone I get the impression they are more focused on “true EQ” and less on “relive old memories and have fun”, which is what I loved about THJ and why I would have...

I am reading them This is exactly what I am asking. I get that I can use a stance and something like ench or Druid with a heal or rune in that proc stance, but that requires them in my combo, yes? I am specifically asking if it’s possible to do PURE melee and survive anything of note beyond...

War/rog/bask was murder on THJ ;) or swap one with rng. It was just so much dmg and you could keep alive with AAs, augs, and the heal buff proc thing. That combo also had a cool backstab dmg calculation. so I guess I got my answer, need something with heals, can’t do pure melee DPS so it’s...

asked above but never really got answer, are there powerful melee healing subs/systems like THJ or am I forced to have a healer in my setup? Or at least SK/PAL for their heal proc build otherwise this isn’t even close to the fun THJ system. It’s just a holy trinity from original eq but instead...

whatever multipet problems THJ had were minor at best. It was almost brutally unfair. I tried the BST/MAG/NEC and it was insane. You could individually control which one taunted(tanked) and gear them all(mage pet had more gear slots), they could equipped auged weapons, etc. it was literal beast...

Are there decent heal augs? One of the reasons THJ was diverse of builds and fun was being able to have a no healer build and use procs with crit to heal. Of course PAL or SK had the lifetap/heal proc built in which was just infinite life depending on gear and luck. if no way to heal via proc/a...

this is all the proof that’s needed that this will flop and suck and secrets is a fucking idiot who didn’t even get the point of THJ. There was plenty of “something to do” in THJ without adding elements that annoy your playerbase.

THJ was just fun, it was that simple. The ”Challenege” was trying new class combos or maybe the super +x levels of raids. but the average person? They got to just have fun. Daily instanced non-respawns of anything that mattered for loot, private instances with respawn for xp, awesome gear, no...

As with anything I’ll reserve final comment for when I see it, but I think the general sentiment of “take THJ and misunderstand everything that made it fun, then charge for it” is spot on here. I would have happily paid for THJ exactly as it were. was it perfect? No. Did they slowly try to...

This will be how they do it….sure it’s your money, but good luck actually getting it into something that can be spent. Europe is fucked but it seems the US is following closely

lol, not a male feminist at all. Just something about her crazy eyes got me and I’m not sure I’d want my girl romping around the house naked all day. now maybe if I had some 20 something Argentinian chick, absolutely, but nearing 50 not everything stays in place the same these days. Plus while...

That trailer looks awesome. PlayStation only or PC?

For those who make quarterly estimated payments do you use the 1040ES and do the calculations yourself or does anyone have any good recommendations for software/websites that can help?

someone always knows lol saw a great quote in a movie once, can’t recall which it was, where some rich elite dudes were talking and he basically said, I’m not immune from what’s happening but I get advance notice. anyway, 4 days below the 200 DMA and I think the 50 is crossing below the...

It’s not shitcoins though. You could hold USDC or USDT which, in theory, are pegged to dollar. yes it is a coin so we’ll leave that debate aside, but they offered WAY better interest than banks and can now even be spent like regular dollars via connected debit cards. Basically it was a 6-9%...

To put in perspective, we did not leap above 200DMA. I still believe there are some important tests/levels over the next 2 weeks

Fair point, I did pull the 20% out of a hat so to speak. I was more just expressing that we are crossing some fairly significant boundaries. Looking at the 5Y chart there was only 1-2 time that we dropped below the 200DMA and didnt linger there longer than a month. Once we sorta touched it and...

Take this for what it's worth, but we are officially below the 200DMA. Obviously it could bounce hard and sail back up, but we may very well be heading into a "bear market"(I always laugh because historically SPY has never beared for more than 1-2 years max). If we can't consistently break...

Can someone explain “dungeon sets” thing?

SPY is testing the 100DMA regularly now as well and the gap is closing between that and 200. the trend seems to be down but the daily swings are fairly strong. This morning seems big red, so I’d bet thur or Friday will be green as it shoots back up.

For all the folks that had various buy orders in for IBIT did you let them execute or reposition for a lower entry? I am very tempted to pick up a hefty amount in this range with a 1-2 year expected turn around back to 100k(BTC price) Assuming crypto/BTC doesnt die it's starting to feel like a...

Dude. Imagine the terror of someone just blasting light on your for weeks on end as trolling. No sleep for you….entire 3 mile radius of people

I have a lady at work that does this and it drives me crazy. It will be shit like “ai said all we need to do is add a new property” /sigh
