  1. I’m ready. In case anyone was wondering, fuck Argentina.
  2. You got this. Posting on surly is a guaranteed cure.
  3. How much longer do we give Twitter? I think writing is on the wall at this point and once these banned accounts move on there won’t be the breaking news aspect to draw people in. I always thought the one advantage TWTR had was immediacy. If it loses journalists that will quickly change.
  4. The market is falling like Bohica.
  5. This whole thread has aged incredibly well. Vintage milk.
  6. I am about 20 percent fixed to 80 percent equity overall. I agree, sort of, on international stock but in addition to not being as ruthless with capital there are some real black swan concerns with things like Aramco or Petrobras just to name a couple of examples. And fuck anything Chinese with a 10 foot pole. Naoch. Both tacos.
  7. Ok I’m very interested in this and won’t derail with unserious play money diversions. I keep my money assigned into three piles: the first is a two to three year cash reserve that will pay for bills, house, emergencies, etc. I keep this in income producing funds (50 percent) that don’t fluctuate much, like Fidelity’s tax free bond funds, and the other half in a combination of CDs (which kind of sucks right now) and in a premium money market account. The second pile is investment (IRA, 401k) and is about half my net worth. This is spread into a Pimco bond fund (expenses are high but yields terrific), Putnam large cap value, a couple of index funds, and a Blackrock balanced fund that I’ve been underweighting due to their ESG direction (no CR for my investments please). I would call this a growth allocation but not too aggressive and minimal international exposure. The third pile is wildly speculative and is where I’ll buy international stock and other silly ideas. By doing this I can stay disciplined on real money. What I am most interested in is not complex stock market trading but finding return without a) leverage and b) too many unknowns. I avoid individual stocks I don’t understand. The only one I ever made real money on was a utility company that was a client, that eventually got bought out by private equity. Wish I had put more in but that’s how it goes.
  8. My vizsla is totally comfortable being a lap dog. No one else thinks it’s funny though.
  9. 95 percent when it was at a couple of bucks? Or at 30 plus? Just checking… because I am pretty sure I’ve bought at both those prices. That is the sign of a disciplined stonker.
  10. I voted speaker because this simulation is so dumb it’ll happen.
  11. I am not getting sucked in! Wait yes I am.
  12. Narrator: of course it will.
  13. Thanks again for the recommendation. Irvines book is great and easy reading. I bought Meditations this morning ( a translation that is recommended was on sale at Amazon) and am stating that next. The best part of stoic philosophy is the way it forces you to face your failings. The parts about enjoying luxury have really caused me to take a hard look at what I spend money on…
  14. He’s a toddler. Just like so many other of our issues coming from having unserious people in charge of things, a guy who has basically ridden the right waves to a paper fortune has bought himself a bully pulpit. Whatever, that’s his right in the US (not in other countries as he’s finding out). What I’m baffled by is the millions out there who think a toddlers thoughts are remotely interesting, much less worth considering. That should be the real issue. And TMI should go crawl back into his troll hole.
  15. Argentina got very lucky with the ref today , he shouldn’t get another match at the WC. And no tears shed for holland. They are kind of turd like too. I’m rooting for Morocco and France. Final of Morocco and Croatia would make me laugh my ass off.
  16. Argentines are fucking puto pinche pendejos. Typical behavior for them.
  17. Lol, you let it get to PK that’s on you. Bra just didn’t deserve it after the 120. They weren’t better today.
  18. Furk i can’t get off a client call right now. Of like them to shut their fuck up (to quote Daniil Medvedev).
  19. I own my hatred of Argentina football. The scheiss argies have always been assholes on the field. The country is fine, a clusterfuck of a place that makes Brazil look well governed but beautiful women and great food. Even if they don’t know what a real churrasco looks like.
  20. Lol all you have to remember is Argentina sucks almost as much as OU.
  21. Yeah fuck my meetings this morning. I’m going to have it on loud. Vamos la e vai tomar no cu Argentina!
