  1. Sweet Breakfast is Trash. Be a fucking man and order the Biscuits and Gravy. My wife who is from Montana says the Canadian side of the border is very pretty, tho.
  2. I think in other world's that's just a price increase. I mean, it's there's to sell.
  3. Me. With my VW:
  4. JFC. we are absolutely going to end up in a shooting war with Canada.
  5. However, moving from say a growth etf to a similarish passive mutual fund is fine.
  6. This. And buy the dip if you have cash to burn.
  7. I kind of eye ball it. On Schwab, you can sell specific lots, or use the tax lot optimizer. Not sure about Fidelity or Vanguard, but in general, I try to stay long on low cost ETFs. I was overdue for a rebalance, and while I should have done it sooner, i had some Growth ETF that I need to move out of. So I sold some that had appreciated, plus some that was the result of dividend reinvestment that was underwater. The $3000 loss cap on income reduction is after you offset your gains: so if you have 10000 in gains in one thing you like, and losses somewhere else if you sell an asset for a 13000 loss, you offset the gains, plus offset 3000 in income from elsewhere. Or carryover the loss in future years.
  8. If you've made money over the last year and are looking to take some meat off the table, today is a good day to balance it out.
  9. I'm a broken record on this, but you are fucknig miserable because of Sen. Edward J. Markey (D-MA) It was his brilliant idea in 2005 to move the change to DST to three weeks earlier in March and move back to standard time a week later in the fall. It doesn't have to feel this awful. If you do it on the first Sunday in April instead of the second sunday in March, it feels much different.
  10. I went ahead an harvested some losses so I have a little extra ammo to eventually buy the dip, but gotdamn it fucking hurt doing it. Lot of Incels and junior broligarchs got slaugtered today. Anyone with a r/wallstreetbets person in their lives might want to check on them.
  11. I mean, you could......or you could make yourself some delicious brefast tacos for lunch. But you do you, king.
  12. Man, i don't enjoy this ride anymore and I'd like to stop and get off. JFC.
  13. And that's fair.
  14. THis is the plan for the wife and I. I came into some money in the last year. I had originally planned to work through this administration, but I might only make it to mid terms, the job is so stressful right now. So for my wife, who is also in politics. I......I just don't want to be here anymore. We are going to visit SMA or Merida this year, and start scoping things out.
  15. I want to retire early, so gotta go abroad for healthcare. Dunno if I'll come back.
  16. Great. So our economic policy is being driven by the President’s daily fiber intake.
  17. I get hot and bothered when you guys start talking O&G. Not joking. It fascinates the fuck out of me.
  18. I realize VW talk is not going away, but other than the MK IV models, VWs are fine cars, but like all German cars, you have to stay on top of the maintenance schedule. They have tight tolerances and break if you try to push the annual upkeep. A 3800 V6 Buick they are not.
  19. You can pry my VWs out of my cold dead hands. Then you can replace the timing belt and the water pump.
  20. All I know is nothing....NOTHING... is better for investment than leadership changing it's mind every 20 minutes.
  21. It's weird watching him vacilitate between "I BIG STRONG PRESIDENT MAN, TARIFF MEAN JUSTIN TRUDEAU" and "I don't like it when the market is down, let's relent" Beyond the whipsaw effect, it's sorta of the worst of both world's: it gins up traders, while still doing economic damage that will lead to an eventual slow down of the economy, and doesn't solve the real problem: everyone is snapping their wallets closed and hoarding cash because of instability.
  22. PRetty sure Derek Chauvin was convicted in Minnesota court, not federal. Tim Walz out front shoulda told ya.
  23. I would to. Trump doesn’t want Mexico, it fits his narrative of a “shit hole country.” But the idea of Annexing Canada is very serious in his mind.
  24. That is quite the analogy, sir.
