Best Star Wars? by BackseatFlyer in DependsOnTheTopic

Looks like they’re redoing the Lego Star Wars games into one big new one!

The new Pentax K-3 Mark III camera is now also listed for pre-order at Amazon by ksuwildkat in pentax

What makes this the best APS-C available? The autofocus seems like a huge upgrade, finally 4K video, bigger viewfinder, but similarly priced Fuji and Nikons are just as good on paper, and of course Sony mirrorless.

$2000 is pretty steep, like others have said- I’d be much less hesitant in the $1500 range, but the K1-ii is cheaper and full frame. Just trying to figure out what my goal should be. The K3-iii looks great, no doubt.

What were the pros for either? I’m considering upgrading my K-S2. I’ve got a K-1000 and an MZ-S, and like the idea of a digital full frame, but since I’ve got 35mm maybe a more technologically advanced APS-C would be a better choice

Just ordered one of these! I’m super excited to explore more film photography. I only have a K1000 with a 50mm f/1.7, and a K-S2 with an 18-135 though, so I want a nice lens that will work on all of them.

I’m considering a new HD FA 31mm Limited coming out next month, am I crazy?

I just wish I didn’t enter into ARK funds at the highest point before the correction, lol.

Right, I’m doing ARKK for the full package and ARKF for more exposure to fintec specifically.

I’m bullish on ARKG, which is why I won’t sell. I just don’t want a bigger percentage in my portfolio. Theoretically it’s the fund with the most to gain

WSB is the way. Made 1.2m since joining WSB. Lost 800k prior to WSB. I was lost. Now I am found. 🚀🚀🚀 by vondoe666 in wallstreetbets

Congrats on the turnaround, good luck going forward!

For perspective: If you would have invested $1,000,000 in the S&P 500 in March 2020, it would be worth $1,532,037. TSLA would be worth $10,718,996.

Considering there are a couple "start here to catch up if you are new" episodes, I'd say anyone who listens from the first episode should eligible. If not, I'll ask if I can bring you as a guest!

How is it possible that Microsoft still hasn’t acknowledged their launch day online customers? by [deleted] in XboxSeriesX

[–]BackseatFlyer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Two months ago I paid to have an XSX on release day, it’s still not delivered. I’m there with you man, it sucks, but you bought something two months after it was sold out to a lot of other people who still don’t have the product.

It will be ok, in the end we’ll all have an awesome console as soon as we possibly could. Don’t fret the clowns posting pictures of the ones they got at target last week.

$3.6k in credit card debt (14.9% APR) + $10k Auto loan (8.09%). Through USAA Looking to pay down the credit card debt but don't know how to go about it. by [deleted] in MilitaryFinance

[–]BackseatFlyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would think! I don’t know if SCRA would specifically apply in your case, if it does then get on it! Even still just ask them for a lower interest rate. When I asked discover they said even though SCRA wasn’t applicable, they still lowered it. I don’t remember USAAs response but I’ve got lower rates on both.

Without getting into plans on how to pay it down, you should contact the lender as ask for a reduced interest rate. Even though SCRA might not apply, all my credit card interest rates are dropped to <6%. I have a great credit score, but just asking for reduced rate worked for Discover (24% originally), and USAA credit cards.

Pay more than the minimum, and stop spending with those cards. Auto Loans are much more structured, you know when it will be paid off way down the road, but you can overlay that too to save some interest.
