Fortunately dualstow talked some sense into me before the big drop and I went back to diversified investing.
Thank you, but I also talked sense into Greg when he was 4% in Tesla. Probably could’ve been rich O0

I thought he asserted that the price of gold cannot be manipulated, even though everyone always decries manipulation by one entity or another.

Re: Improving the PP through simplification

I do like long bonds less than I did when I was younger. Even so, “simplifying” by removing them seems like simplifying one’s hand by lopping the thumb off.

China. Bit of medical tourism (nothing serious, just testing). And a bit of regular tourism. Trying to iron out the dates right now, actually.

Skyler is that spider that lives in the barn near Walter’s residence. Remember? The kid (Walt jr, aka Flynn) wanted to capture the spider and keep her in a box, but Walt explained that she should be free.

Re: The Meme Thread

Back to good ol' Breaking Bad memes. O0 bb meme.jpg I never understood the hate for Skyler. When the show was still putting out new episodes, Vince Gilligan even tried to shield actress Anna Gunn(sp?) from social media. I thought she was great, but maybe they did write a lot of angry lines for her....

I don't like using PMs in forums, not because of privacy concerns, but because I don't usually keep track of it all. I'm on top of email. And Signal and other messaging apps.
