Probably I don’t know the market there, but a near 100k price increase in a year seems really fucking confusing.

We went from 250 in 2015 to 520 in 2021.
Suppose it's not as fast but double still in a scant few years. Most of that was the last 3.

I actually need less active trades.
I’ve actually been considering getting a broker just so I don’t touch my shit.

You don't need a broker, you need a dog. You train him to bite you if you log onto the trading site.
Way cheaper than a % of your stuff too!

Reset your brokerage account and registered email passwords to some random garbage you can't remember. Problem solved!

Just pay us half of what you would pay a broker. You will make up that cost by not having trades that suck (unlike the ones a broker would make).

If you don’t have your own trade rules, definable trade plays, and strict trade management / risk management rules that you abide by, you shouldn’t be active investing / day trading whatsoever. You’re merely timing the market at best and gambling at worst.
Throw it in an index and make better use of your spare time!

I bought some TLT this morning, this is a bearish outlook hedge. If fear actually starts coming in here, could catch a bid. I sold XLV which is actually a decent hold in a down tape in that it will outperform (doesn't mean green just it will hold up better than SPY) . I have a small gain on this and I'm just getting ready to align myself to take advantage of other opportunities that could present.

Added a little bit of AAPL at the long term support line. It has been bouncing off this line for months so I am adding. A MSFT add could be possible soon if things keep deteriorating.
Started a position of LMT at $408. It could fall further so am positioning for a possible add. This is the last name to round out my Defense stocks.

It was green when I wrote it. I was commenting that IWM was green while the other indexes were red. Just got back to my desk form client meetings and saw the market was puking.

Thanks for posting that, it's something I've been wondering for a while.
After saving for what feels like my entire life I bought my first house a few years ago. It's something like 3100sqft with a full finished basement. 3.5 baths. Backs up to a wooded area. Even four years later it still feels wayy to big for my family of four. We mostly bought it for the neighborhood it's in and if there was a 1500sq ft, 2bath house in this neighborhood for a reduced cost I'd probably have preferred it.

All that extra space comes in handy for all those foot pedals in the gaming room though

We went from a 2100 sqft for just my wife and I to about 1500 sqft here in Florida. We felt like we had a ton of wasted space in the bigger house, but now we also think 1500 is a bit smaller than we want (although this is partially because it's hard to have company over in 1500 sqft). If we get another house, we'll probably go 1700-1800ish.

1800-2000 is the sweat spot - and oh how I loath the modern designs where they put in some sort of large "sitting area" waste of space near the entrance to houses. Like 3-400 sq foot of just complete waste that could have been used towards larger kitchen/living rooms or another bedroom in the design. Drives me fucken bonkers.
