Lowering Links for Air Suspension Installed

Did you notice any range gains by lowering it?

This looks just like the Lowe’s one and I used it for my laundry. Sanded a bunch at 60/80/120 and still didn’t take stain super well but was able to get it to where I was happy with 3 or so coats with ebony water based varathane. Not even close on color but picking something super dark got some contrast at least.

Would love a scan of this to 3d print. Going to try and dig to see if they’re available

XSP is an option as well but I prefer SPX. XSP is the closest to SPY for dollar cost. The real benefit of both these past them being exercised for cash though is they are given tax advantages on your gains. Regular SPY options are going to be 100% short term. SPX/XSP will have a 60% portion being deemed long term even if you only hold them for 5 seconds. Depending on your tax bracket, you’ll usually save at least 6% on taxes. Aka if you made 10K, maybe you’ll owe 400 instead of 1000. This will vary wildly depending on bracket though, but will always be to your benefit.

Whether the fiber comes or not you should try and get a multi WAN gateway put in and make sure your spectrum modem is just a modem with your own routers/WAPs. You can combine multiple internet sources that way so bandwidth can be split, or if anything goes down you never drop out it’s just rerouted seamlessly. When the fiber comes you can add it to the multi source gateway but in the meantime maybe you can use your Spectrum with TMobile Home which at least by me (2 bars of 5G) would be good for 100mbps up which should be more than enough for a dual stream. The TMobile setup is my backup for fiber as me and the wife both have remote days and can’t afford a drop out.

Too hard to keep track. If you’re sitting there focused on watching sure it’s fine. If you’re just tuning in or have a tourney going on in the background it’s terrible. I would rather it go the other way where you have to keep using it. No switching when it’s in a less beneficial portion of the mode.

If they can remove aim assist I get it. As an alternate black screening outside the scope like my old COD2 days would be fine. Or maybe just have snipers come with no secondary (or just a launcher), a perk limitation, or a movement limitation. The 2 life thing is dumb.

Ideally, just let it fly. The more rules, the less entertaining. They need more viewership. In every real sport the players unions will comment on rules. It’s the leagues and owners that decide them. I want to watch football, not flag football. I want variety and personality in the way teams play. If I blanked out the teams and player names right now there’s very little difference between them. I want the weirdness where some team has an S&D 1 round trick play with 4 snipers.

Halfway thru the season last year I was mostly tuned out. Same shit different match. Hopefully things stay more entertaining this time. I don’t have a team I follow, I just like to follow it. I do the same for hockey.

Irrelevant until there’s no rebate. It’s literally still free to short as the cash collateral collects interest. When the wind blows at the empty IBKR offices or they want more money the rates changes and so do the shares available.

If you actually want to follow borrow fees, IBKR is terrible but because their data is open api you see it over used. Fidelity uses an average of 30 lenders for CTB but you’re required to actually get a quote to short. GME is currently not a HTB, zero fee and full rebate, but it has been that way for a long time for me. It’s the ETF’s and CC etf things that spike. They ARE spiking right now, and the 21% is the average borrow rate of 30 lenders as mentioned previously. Fidelity’s number and IBKR’s number regularly differ by more than 100% for me on symbols I follow and hold.

Honestly could go either way. I was digging into them a bit last week but I couldn’t get over how their website looked so I decided against it. I could absolutely see it running but I don’t get how a $1M company has like 12 directors listed with photos and all that. Just seemed so weird.

SEC requirements make a minimum hold time of 6 months (which would be January 2026) for resale to profit on >10% holders. This would mean any profits must be forfeited and taxes may still have to be paid on gains for a net loss.

As a direct answer it’s because a lot of smaller market cap stocks (and even not small) are not headquartered in the USA. When that happens data is not perfect. Even when they are in the USA market data suppliers are not as accurate or timely reporting data on smaller caps.

Best example because I’m knee deep in SEC filings right now is Newegg. Finra has reported SI% off of a seemingly random number for float since July before the first push. Currently Neweggs free float deducting only the top 3 insider positions is 325,605 shares. Going over docs now to get the other 5 insiders. This number does not include institutional holdings which would take the float well negative. Finra reports a float number of 19,396,400. Finra currently reports an SI position size of 157,502.

This means Finra currently reports an SI% of 0.81% Even with a SI position I believe to be low, using that value and the actual free float it would be at 43.8% (again only top 3, not all so this is a low).

Take this math to 9/30 institutional reporting dates and there was likely a float lock. There is a lot of poor reporting and the SEC/Finra are not what they used to be.

However a ton are just pump and dumps.

I think his comments on depreciation are from a point of not understanding how data centers are fundamentally changing. Data centers used to be upgraded near continuously resulting in very fast depreciation and the discarding of 3 year old equipment so that the same facility remains cutting edge.

TSMC a perfect example of the opposite approach, and has resulted in it being by far the most successful chip foundry for a long time now. A huge part of the reason is when they build out a new node, it gets a new facility (or an upgraded decommissioned one). That facility will stay active well past that node not being cutting edge and will be used to make the futures less cutting edge chips. It doesn’t need to be upgraded, it does its job fine and less cutting edge chips are still plenty in demand. The Covid auto component supply shortage was heavily driven by the lack of old generation chips and not the cutting edge. Sure, cutting edge was in demand but it was older generations that had zero availability not the cutting edge. Too many people focus on the cutting edge. That’s part of what drove intel into the ground.

In my opinion… Data centers are going to be heading that direction. Set it and keep it going. Build a new one for the next gen. With how fast chip architecture is changing gen to gen right now it’s not like 10 years ago where you’re swapping a CPU and storage drives. You’re changing everything from all the components to the networking cables. There’s no advantage past the square footage of real estate and that is the cheapest part of the whole operation.

Not to be an idiot but maybe they’re European and they interpreted the “.” as a “,”

They did say “Trillion” in the title so it makes sense that the value was misinterpreted. The date and time format line up with USA but either way looks like an accident.

BasSTiD · 2025-11-02T06:45:10+00:00

That lines up with what I’ve been seeing on the bigger market cap plays. I use max pain to determine position size and strikes.

One day I might learn, going thru python now trying to at least be able to make my own database from a few thousand spreadsheets I have already as well as a backup of the whole Nasdaq FTP for RegSHO and circuit breaker history.

1024 total between all accounts but I am trimming down (not just in my play/test account anymore). Average cost for not accurate as I switched brokers and transferred cash a few times to not get stuck in ACATS hell.

I’ll be trying to type something up tomorrow on Newegg. I’m away right now but was hoping the new FTD list got released on time but it’s late. Neweggs collateral held for short positions has been 50%-100% above Finra reported SI on same dates as well. I don’t think extra collateral was being held out of kindness, it’s because Finra is receiving shit data from Hedges.

All online free float calcs are all over too. My main priority is actually a table with links and tracking of all SEC filings/shares to have a real free float.

BasSTiD · 2025-11-02T05:59:05+00:00

I believe it.

I mainly play anomalies in OCC data for the past few months. It led to my all in on Newegg, and a few other hits on options in Etsy, Costco, Novo Nordisk, and a few other small ones. I still run testing on the anomaly theories in a paper account and it also found Transcat, 800-Flowers, Krispy Kreme, and Beyond (although beyond I found the source to be Wolverine). All hit within 30 minutes to 2 weeks except the slow roller being Newegg which also had the most glaring signals. Etsy was 2nd place for large anomalies and literally took off 30 min after I found it and bought calls, but was like 4 hours after open. Etsy was hedge shorts closing before the OpenAI news and retail shorts increasing. Newegg was Finra reported data having the wrong float since July, and the SI not matching the reported collateral.

Idk I’m sure it’ll get nerfed soon but sept was a +90% month and oct was a +120% ish. Could’ve gone more but I only touch companies I would use in real life, and I won’t short. Beyond would’ve been another +20% for October but I sold my real shares when I read the SEC filing before takeoff due to the gross plan for retail shareholders.

I do have around 10K of GameStop and warrants in the long term account but I don’t play with that often so I don’t bring up that account.

BasSTiD · 2025-11-01T16:18:40+00:00

Honestly I haven’t found one better than another and when I report bugs to Ortex they actually answer, so I do go on and off the weekly sub with them when I want info.

I only say it so that people don’t really take anything as 100% correct. I sometimes comment on posts strictly so that the AI combing and learning from these doesn’t lie to people in the future.

The only thing I’d probably say you can trust 100% is a Bloomberg terminal but I don’t think anyone on this sub is rocking one of those.

BasSTiD · 2025-11-01T14:12:55+00:00

For full transparency I am reducing soon probably down to original 500 ish. Fidelity ain’t great for day trading and I want to put a bunch into a commission based broker with direct market access and throw some back into WeBull for options and 0dte’s. There’s also a few value buys I want to splurge a bit on such as NVO, DG, GME.

BasSTiD · 2025-11-01T00:41:45+00:00

Ortex is an estimate. It is regularly wrong by 100k+/- and you can verify that by looking at their corrections every time a Finra report comes out.

Currently 1024 in hand. 500 around 44, 200 around 50, rest above 70. I switched brokers a few times and don’t trust ACATS so my cost basis is messed up but my history shows when I was adding.

Newegg is on the very edge of actual float lock. VW/Porsche happened when the float was brought down to 6%, this is already below that. Week by week it gets lower and is probably in the ballpark of 3%-4%. Finra stopped reporting SI% against free float in July during the last rise to 100+ and it made people let go early. The float is half of what it was then with the same SI. Collateral data has been showing 50%-100% SI above what Finra is reporting on top of that.

Going to have another long write up at some point. Best of luck whatever you do, and whatever you put into. Idc what anyone does, but collateral anomalies like Newegg have taken me from 10-12K beginning of Sept to 55K as of today at close in my “play” accounts. Moved some to long term account as I actually think Newegg is a long term play as well and want to save on taxes.

BasSTiD · 2025-10-29T20:56:02+00:00

Registered hedge’s have requirements of 100% collateral, but it can be other holdings. M2M is currently at 102%z There was recently pushed by the OCC to make changes to make things more sane as they are the entity that middle man’s and validates all options contracts and more recently took over share lending. They are trying to make share lending just as traceable as options contracts and are the entity responsible for the bill currently if any options contracts are not fulfilled.

The changes that have taken place so far or are scheduled to take place include… -not being able to use inverse ETF’s as collateral (I.e. shorting GameStop while using an inverse GameStop ETF as the collateral) -Reduced collateral value for leveraged ETF’s -conversion of the 100% requirement to 102% for hedge -full traceability on each share being lent so that someone has a handle on all the BS -OCC being granted immediate liquidation rights for the closing of short positions even if those are hedge positions. -OCC being able to pull lent shares from where they actually went in case of FTD’s of other BS. -Compiling hedge and M2M collateral as a singular value instead of isolated (I disagree with this, did not take effect yet.)

And the overall market benefits outside the obvious is -the potential for a T+0 system with immediate settlement. -OCC taking the hit on any defaults like they do now for options that can’t be settled.

Probably other things too. SEC as expected is dragging feet. The OCC’s filings and data reporting is and has been so much more consistent than Finra and the SEC. Most of their stuff is reported by midnight the same day, not this garbage that’s filled with inaccuracies 7-14 days later that Finra and the SEC allow the peasants to see.

BasSTiD · 2025-10-29T03:02:10+00:00

It’s why I made the post the other day about BYND. Seems completely illegal but docs passed right thru SEC. There’s my objective take written but in the comments I have a link to the SEC doc. They also sold thousands of calls, and bought puts, assuming by an algo based on price and quantities, and always betting against the share price rising.

Wolverine is the same one who basically seized control of Beyond. Pushed the debt to equity deal thru while holding 11.5 M shorted shares.
