  1. This setup is what we are aiming for. We have a Centurion and 2 Jet Skis now and I want to get a Pontoon boat for all the reasons you list plus something to do light fishing out of for the kids and their cousins.
  2. I think I have used that excuse as well.
  3. I worry about inflation, with the way the US is printing dollars it is bound to happen. When it does cash is the last place you want to be, I suppose Gold would be the best. The stock market will likely keep up with inflation, so while you might not make as much money in stocks my hope is it at least does not decrease in value like cash would.
  4. Right - the GDP will be close to flat, down 2-4% that is a far cry from "big chunk of the economy has essentially been destroyed". Exactly, that is where the 1.9T stimulus starts to come in. If that passes it is going to go a long way to shrink that time to recovery for those groups. Combined those are 2 of the reasons the market is still going up. They all do, but I am not foolish enough to think I can time when that is going to happen. I will continue to ride the market up and down and then back up again to new highs.
  5. I just don't think it has been "destroyed" as much as you think. The GDP looks like it will be close to flat in 2020, the stock market is up, unemployment is down but shows signs of recovering quickly as the pandemic ends and on top of all that there is another 1.9T stimulus in the works. The short term future does not look bad.

    High

    How was it? I just ordered a couple vape carts to see how they are.
  7. Since this thread is back up I am going to thank @C-Man for his help. He was able to get us set up with moving over Car, Boat, and Homeowners insurance back at the end of October. Super smooth process.
  8. I am sure everyone here was surly 1% and paid cash
  9. you missed something
  10. We just got our first boat this year (super excited!) and we have done something close to this. We have it on a lift on LBJ and have one of these in the engine compartment https://www.amazon.com/Caframo-Engine-Compartment-Heater-Silver/dp/B00MEMRGZE/
  11. You called out that the posters on this thread for negging you and then said you were "surprised to see them cool so much on property damage after assaulting the Capitol, last time we were clocking a few pages an hour." There is no way you meant the police were "clocking a few pages a hour". If you want the Trumpeters to own their own words you need to own your words as well.
  12. Well not in this thread. Maybe it was condoned in the CR thread but that place sucks.
  13. this is exactly right.
  14. I can see why people would support increasing LTCG (kinda) but why would you support LTCG be greater than ordinary income (top bracket 37%)? I don't think he would have the votes to do that.
  15. Jennifer Medina 12m ago Most Georgia voters said that deciding which party controls the Senate was the “single most important factor” in casting their ballot, according to A.P. voter surveys. This was my point - They are not voting for these people, they are voting for control of the senate.
  16. I think that likely favors Rs though. If 41% said no that is the "extreme right" there are going to be a lot of moderate R voters who would say the general election was fair and still vote R (I know this board thinks all R votes are extreme).
  17. Nothing to see here.....https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/05/alibaba-founder-jack-ma-is-laying-low-for-the-time-being-not-missing.html I also have some oceanfront property in Nevada to sell.
  18. I am sorry to hear that. I cannot imagine the pain your family is going through.
  19. I wish the clock would tick faster
  20. I am out at lake LBJ and we have snow falling at a pretty good clip. None sticking to the ground.
  21. Back in my 20's I was living in LA and couldn't make it back to Texas for the holidays due to work. So I took a quick trip to Vegas over Christmas. I can attest that casinos on the evening of 24th and morning of the 25th are about the quietest places you can be in a normal year. I kinda liked it though.
  22. and they went on sale and I was able to get one using that method. NOT
