    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    My bet on oil has been a good one so far, PR and CVX doing well since I bought. My bet to short the NASDAQ has gone laughably sideways. The NASDAQ rises on all news right now, good and bad, every day just a constant march higher. So good to anyone that got in on that play early enough.

    Best hunt ever

    Does this type of activity not get flagged by mods? FNG who posted this BS yesterday in an effort to get to 10 posts so they can message people in the classifieds? As a guy who got scammed in the classifieds here I think this kind of stuff should get nuked.

    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    I post here a lot, but disclaimer should be obvious that I'm not a millionaire and what do I know. It's just fun to talk about this stuff and get other peoples' thoughts on it. That said, good day for oil stocks despite crude prices kinda just winding up flat -- PR got back up to about $10, CVX...

    Yeah i know there are significant local dynamics. It never went down in HI to begin with, and I’ve seen recently it’s ridiculously expensive in Arizona right now too for some reason, I think it’s even more expensive than here. But generally, I pay attention to this chart for broad gasoline...

    Tough to answer that, for me anyways. I still think we have more downside ahead, but at this point the AI bubble seems to be single-handedly keeping our stock market alive. All bets are off really when it's not truly a free market and you have a “independent” Federal Reserve and a legislative...

    Same here. Crude gave up all the initial gains.

    https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/opec-discussing-1-million-bpd-output-cut Always feels good to see even a small wager pay off. We’ll see how it translates to PR and CVX tomorrow.

    Perhaps part of the “conservative awakening” that seems to be starting. Woke politics manifested in a lot of companies are starting to have trouble in the marketplace.

    I saw an article mention that, but the atmospherics right now make me think there's a chance for a surprise cut announcement. Saudi oil minister or whoever it was last week calling out people across the world that are shorting oil something to the effect of you're all playing with fire...

    Added a little CVX today, same logic as the PR add a couple weeks ago. Seems like its oversold right now, and OPEC meeting this weekend could have some fireworks that spike crude prices next week (why would OPEC not allow journos in for the meetings this weekend like they usually do?) . Saw...

    Home businesses

    Thanks for the replies. It's an idea over dinner level of detail right now, but wife makes super fancy cupcakes from scratch that people are always saying "you should sell these." And she just enjoys baking and does it all the time anyway, so considering exploring the permits/inspections...

    Home businesses

    Is there already a thread about home businesses? Been thinking about it a lot lately, after talking to people personally and reading financial advisor types all say that everyone should have a home business for the tax advantages alone. Wife and I have a couple ideas we think could work, would...

    MMFs paying over 4.5% after expenses. I'm sitting almost completely on the sidelines in MMFs right now as I still expect things to get worse before they get better. That said, NVDA is a clear example that there is still money to be made out there, but its a risk-reward calculation.

    Meniscus Tear Won't Heal

    Idk how the science has changed in the last few years but I know a few years ago Tb500 was considered to be a break glass in case of emergency option, there are some potentially serious downsides to that one.

    Anyone in the crowd that's smart on REITs willing to school me on them? I've seen one or two names mentioned here over the months for REITs that people are holding, but how have those worked out for you and how do you see the divided yields holding up as the prices fall? I'm paying attention to...

    Recession Coming?

    I was in the house market very briefly about 2 months ago here in Oahu. Wanted to at least see for myself what the state of prices vs. interest rates/mortgage payments were. It was GLARINGLY obvious that it did not make sense to buy here right now, the online calculators on should you rent vs...

    WTB Scammer Alert

    My Venmo account was permanently suspended for attempting to pay someone for an SWFA scope which listed in the remarks for the transaction as just that, "SWFA scope." Boom, Venmo suspended me for unauthorized transaction or however they called it. Had a similar experience trying to list a scope...

    WTB Scammer Alert

    Yes. I posted about this last year, this exact thing happened to me. You cannot trust any pics of goods online any more. The only way to buy and sell online now is with "protected" payments (No F&F!) and real-time video calls to talk to the seller and see the item. Sorry OP, but you fell for...
