    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    Had a watch on KULR just from what folks here had to say about it. Not sure why the after-hours drop post earnings today, it seemed like the earnings were pretty good? I caught an after-hours limit order for some shares at $.22 just now though.

    Hawaii Axis deer

    This all checks with my experience in Hawaii so far. Don’t get me wrong, I love it here. But I presumed the big landowners on Maui are non-Hawaiian based on what I’ve seen in the headlines about billionaires buying up tens of thousands of acres across the state. And the general...

    Hawaii Axis deer

    Bring your credit cards. Despite the declaration of a “state of emergency” due to the axis deer population on Maui, there is functionally no public land hunting for them. So the private landowners get paid by the government for their “losses” due to the “state of emergency,” then they charge...

    2 parter! I am glad I am not single, and why does every single woman think they are a 10?

    It’s a factor. One of many, but I think not a minor one. My parents have been married 53 years, I stuck with my wife through hard times and always tried to work through it. My wife’s mom and her older sister, which is her only sibling, are “happily divorced” as they like to call it, and let’s...

    2 parter! I am glad I am not single, and why does every single woman think they are a 10?

    Almost final on a divorce from my wife of 12 years. I’ve learned lots of lessons through this whole ordeal, too many to try to list here. But definitely one of the biggest lessons is that you can do most things “right” but a woman is gonna do what a woman’s gonna do, regardless of her...

    Euro Mount Question

    Not an expert, but I've done an axis buck skull and a billy goat skull in the last year. Billy goat skull was brutal to get the base of the skull clean. IMO, extra simmer time plus pressure washer is a combo made to lose. If it were me and I really wanted to be careful, I'd simmer (not boil) for...

    Bipod vs. tripod. Worth it to carry both?

    Forgot about this thread, I actually wound up with an Aziak tripod and Tricer head, haven’t shot off it yet though, as the little Spartan Lite bipod setup with the magnetic attachment has been a nice little piece of shooting kit. I also haven’t found myself needing a tripod for any axis or goat...

    All Time High Stock Market

    Also, you made my point — yes rates would have to come down eventually, but the big question was how soon. And no one expected this massive pivot right now, less than two weeks after Powell was basically 180 out on rate hikes and cuts, and those two weeks were filled with economic data that did...

    All Time High Stock Market

    Enter the hindsight quarterbacks. No. Not kidding. You can read the headlines yesterday and today that say exactly what I said. Not to mention the insane reaction in all indexes, precious metals, dollar index, and the bond market due to, you guessed it, totally unexpected news from the Fed.

    All Time High Stock Market

    No one saw this Fed pivot coming yesterday, Wall Street was legitimately shocked by it. Anyone who says they expected it is lying, hindsight is always 20/20. If the Fed hadn't completely, 100% capitulated to election year politics this week the base case for everyone -- all hedge funds, major...

    First and Last Rifle - New Hunter

    I've only shot factory ammo with it, have never loaded my own, so I can't help with that, sorry man.

    Are the higher end knifes that much better?

    Disclaimer: Not a knife guy. I have a data point of 1 to share. Buddy and I both shot goats this past weekend, and he had noticeable blade dulling on his Spyderco knife midway through field dressing his. My Benchmade (forget the model, but it's a newer one with the S90V steel) was still cutting...

    6.5 CM -- Starting over, bullet selection

    Care to share your load and MV? Been reading the last couple days and I’m leaning towards either sticking with the 140 ELDM or switching to the 130 TMK.

    6.5 CM -- Starting over, bullet selection

    Should've added it's 1:8 twist. So I gather that's affecting a lot of recommendations away from the 156, since Berger recommends 1:8 or faster.

    6.5 CM -- Starting over, bullet selection

    Stock 24" barrel, but that seems to be the norm on the Tikkas 6.5 CM from what I've read. Maybe you got a unicorn, yours seems to be a lot faster than most.

    6.5 CM -- Starting over, bullet selection

    Been shooting factory 140 ELDM loads out of my Tikka. MV with this factory load is about 2650 measured by Magnetospeed. A buddy is going to help me work up a load to try to get more MV and accuracy. So if you weren't wedded to a factory load all of a sudden and had a clean slate, and had your...

    DIY Hawaii axis deer hunt

    I hunted Pulama one day as well on top of the two days of the state hunt, that’s where I shot the one buck I got on the trip. I also saw a decent amount of deer in groups of 1-3 down there. All the locals I talked to there in Lanai lament the days gone by, but idk for sure. Maui is for sure...
