You are far off base here, it’s very silly.
Not as silly as bragging about spending over $1200 a month on what you classify as healthy when you can actually 100% eat healthy on much less.

The throwing whatever savings number you posted is the silly part.

Of course you can, but it just doesn’t matter to me. It’s a percent or three of my income. The Whole Foods is walkable and has good ingredients, so I shop there. Congrats on spending less wherever lower cost of living place you live. Dealing with a crowded shitshow Costco isn’t worth it to me. Thanks for the assumption that I’m a lard ass over it though, silly man.

You can transport yourself (without looking like a douchebag no less) in a car less than a $150k R8 too.

You know why I give you a hard time?

It's incredibly easy to get you going on a line of boasting and bragging. So incredibly easy to provoke. That's the silly part. It's as if your honor is on the line with these pointless back and forths. How much further would I have to go to get you to post something even more personal? I don't think it would take much.

Nobody cares about how much money you're saving, where you're saving it, how much you earn, what you own, or what you do in your life. Nobody.

Yeah, I’m well aware. The funny thing is you do the same thing. Takes one to know one I guess.

This is my anonymous place. I’m not a douchebag in real life.

I was hoping July 9th would be a buy the dip day.

The goal posts have moved yet again.

I was thinking about buying 1 lousy share at $19, when it was from $2 in ONE DAY. The problem with 1 share is that it doesnt stay 1 share. If it does well it is too tempting not to add 99 shares, then 299 shares, etc.....


I was worried what would happen when the worthless market makers would crash the stock. The day it went from $2 to $19, considering if the shares issued at the Private Placement price of $4.50 were calculated into the market cap, the company would be valued at $1.22 billion. At $150, I figured the market cap was $10 billion for a lousy $250 million dollar Etherium treasury.


The same thing happened to SBET. It went from $2.50 to $124 before crashing back down $8.00 after all the shares were registered. I could be wrong, BMNR might not go back to $5, but If I am missing something then I guess my own fear kept me out of a great trade.
The secondary offering shares are now fully priced in. People are paying for a $250m Etherium bank account:

Even with the 40% haircut, its still grossly overvalued IMO. This will probably be the greatest short known to mankind if I not mistaken. ;)

Hey Felix.

I bought one share. Of course I'm down like $40. But I'm doing well overall.

ROKU is like an ATM at this point if you ignore the noise. Probably will go back to $100.
I also piled in on NET NVDA U (did sell off U).

I have some dogs of course. I understand CHWY is being shorted , but FFS why is it this bad? All reports in that stick were positive. Just have to wait, I guess.

Oh almost forgot - Bought 2000 shares of AI when it was down. Gotta brag to someone who knows whats up, right? lol

ABVE looks like it might be another "jackpot" stock. Read the headlines and make your own decisions. It was 30 cents yesterday and now is 1.50. My guess is 3.00, but I only have a very tiny amount at 1.00 so Im not going to worry.

Negatives are its not America co, the financials make no sense, losing money big time, but now has backing of Saudi Arabian prince? Supposedly investing 3.3b for 1.1b shares. It might not be a 1 to 1 merger and the company might be worth only .30 cents. Be careful.

Edit 7.11.25...sold the small amount too soon. Bought back in 3.8

Look at INKT go. Reported full remission on testicular cancer.

I have 2 shares.
That would been a great trade. 👍 Too bad I missed out. I suspect shorts will try to drive the price back down on anticipation of a stock offering, but thats just a guess. Markets are crazy and unpredictable.

I think the market will be less responsive this time as its becoming immune to Tarrif man.

I would like to thank so. He seems to be trying desperately to crash the market, now threatening Mexico and the EU and even going after Powell more frequently.

Thats the way it always seems to work out, unfortunately.

Yep and every time I wait until the stock goes back up so I can at least break even, the company goes backrupt. :tearsofjoy: Mine is on the verge of bankruptcy so figured it was still a smart move to cash in. I'm not actually buying anymore, I was so I can get the company contribution, but I can really use the cash now. I still have around 9k left in there, have to wait so I can take that out. So I still have a chance to profit if the stock does in fact go up even more.

Wow, you did not mention bankruptcy. I would definitely sell, but then thats just me. There might be other factors Im not aware of considering the stock isnt already priced near zero.

If they wind up avoiding bankruptcy you can buy back in with future contributions. Its up to you.

Yeah I don't think it's actually going to happen but they are doing badly financially and have more expenses than cash flow. Inflation affects even big companies, lot of operating expenses like hydro, natural gas, fleet vehicles, various maintenance contracts etc that go up each year. Tons of copper and fibre theft too, that doesn't help. Some of these repairs can cost in the 10's if 100's of thousands.

They cut the dividend to help with cash flow situation but not sure if it was enough. If I sell what's left over I basically lose a lot as it cancels out the company contributed portion so I will wait it out. Basically each individual unit needs to sit for at least 2 years so I sold all units that were over that and left the rest.

We spend approximately $1800/month for groceries. But we're also a family of six and have a sales tax of 25% :p
I am warming up to the idea of a 25% tax rate if it brings national healthcare and other social benefits.

Meanwhile in America, United Healthcare is getting the message from public outrage over high denial rates that are bankrupting many. They are now approving more claims. As a result they are being sued by shareholders and Blackrock.
