  1. Are you familiar with the term “Go Fuck yourself”? If so, please commence doing so.
  2. 3 1/2 game leads boys. Make it 4 tonight!
  3. I’m txduck87 and I approve of this message.
  4. Here’s hoping it’s a bukkake kind of night! Go Stros .
  5. The Mets aren’t gonna score a run all weekend are they?
  6. Youngsters on the board gonna struggle with this one. First thing that came to my mind when I heard he had passed. Well done.
  7. I think last night broke me fellas. I’ve mentally checked out and will just casually observe until the end. Tired of getting my soul crushed by pressly, hader and a bunch of .215 hitters who belong on a AAA squad. Godspeed. And Go Stros.
  8. In another shocking development it was determined that water is wet.
  9. No shit. She’s a combo of Karen carpenter and Dolly Parton. Yuck. Eat a cheeseburger lady.
  10. However, now might be the best time to allocate some money to bond funds as we most likely heading into a rate REDUCTION environment. Just bumped up my bond allocation from 10 to 20% last week. All in BND. Up 2% last week. For the most part , I abhor bond funds and get my fixed income from real estate syndications. But, in a declining rate world, there is money to be made in them. For the record , I’m retired (58) and currently have 60%equity, 20% bond, 15% real estate syndicates , 5% cash. I advise my sons 25, 20 and 17, to be 100% equities . VTI, VXUS and VGT because they are young and long term, equities are the place for most growth. Hook ‘em.
  11. Short term swings are unnerving to be sure. All I know is trying to time the market requires you to be right twice (when to sell and when to buy). I know I’m not that smart and most others aren’t either. I made my share of mistakes in my 20s and 30s but then FINALLY realized you ain’t gonna beat the market over a long period of time. Boring but ultimately pays off. #retired@55
  12. Oh no. We are all the way back on the S&P to where it was in mid June! We are all gonna die. S&P only up 12% for the year now. Just horrible. Markets don’t go straight up ladies. Long and strong for decades . Namaste.
  13. Altuve is the least of this team’s issues. But his baserunning does still make me want to punch someone.
  14. That’s great. Congrats. Retired 2 years ago and wife joining me in that in 6 months. Last kid is a senior in high school this year. Plan on selling house and renting for 12-18 months while we long travel (3-4 weeks at a time) to scope out potential next destinations. North Carolina, Tennessee and Colorado are the leading contenders. You should visit the “ where should I retire” thread. Good stuff in there. Good luck!
  15. September is a fucking given to be miserable. It’s the swamp ass on Halloween when it really pisses me off.
