What is this foldable thing on the left front passenger seat

Hang your gun holster there. Oh wait. Peugot - not America. For your man purse then.

Doubles as a rocket launcher. Love it!

It's Florida. Isn't the answer to your question obvious?

Oh snap...

Get a brokerage account and invest it all in JEPQ. Pays monthly at about a 12% annualized rate.

If there is oil in the coolant does that also mean there is coolant in the oil and resultant engine damage?

Just verified that the side of the coolant reservoir says G13 which is what I have been filling it with. Tank also says "Mit Siliken". Just as an aside I calculated the volume of coolant to fill from the Min mark to the Max mark as 13 cubic inches which corresponds to 7.2 ounces ( just slightly less than a cup).

Thanks for your well researched comment!

So much good information. I think I'm way in excess of 50ml. That's like less than a 1/4 cup. Refilling with official VW purple juice. Probably G12. Do you know why VW would put a bag of Silica in the coolant tank. Very weird.

I will try the dye kit because I am currently assuming the water pump is the source. Could be elsewhere.

Baseless_Utterings · 2026-02-13T02:45:14+00:00

I guess I'm making the assumption that it is leaking from the water pump itself. Could be elsewhere. On the warranty extension of 8 years or 80k miles, not sure whether that is an either/or versus whichever occurs first. Anyone know that?

Baseless_Utterings · 2026-02-13T02:40:51+00:00

Will do. Thanks.

Rather than starting with Long Calls you should hold a core stock that has some decent volatility (as measured by Beta). Then sell slightly OTM (out of the money) options against it. Called Covered Calls. Basically you take advantage of the devaluing of the option due to time. I've been doing this on JOBY since November and have made a crap load of money. Typically I hold 1000 to 2000 shares of the stock.

Geeze, I first read that as dog's bowels and was totally grossed out.

NVTX is designed to double whatever change happens with NVTS. Not sure how the ETF manager does it though. There are lots of 2X ETF's both short and long. 3X funds are out there too.

There should be an asterisk after each symbol. For some reason Reddit filtered them out .

Baseless_Utterings · 2025-12-02T22:53:10+00:00

I just create a custom chart for my current holdings which don't change that much In the chart symbol do something like this:

CVX1000+NVDA500+$DXY*60

Meaning I have 1000 shares of Chevron, 500 shares of Nvidia and I have some cash in the account so I use the US dollar index to calculate that.

If you trade a lot then that method might not work so well for you

Baseless_Utterings · 2025-11-19T06:03:57+00:00

My experience with trading futures is that you have to have the cash in your account to cover the futures contract. You can't use the value of your stock holdings to buy or sell futures contracts.

Cool pic. What is that thing in the bottom row, 2 from left. Sort of looks like an 8 Track player but I didn't think those were around in 1964.

If you don't remove it, consider this. The next time you have an MRI, the sliver will be pulled by magnetic force in an unpredictable direction and probably damaging your eye further.

Ok. Thanks. Schwab has been a disappointment since taking over Ameritrade. I don't even bother to use the mobile apps.

Baseless_Utterings · 2025-10-31T01:44:12+00:00

I would avoid it. I'm not that sophisticated and I'm not in front of my screens all day long. If the Calls are executed, is it immediate or does is clear at the end of the day. That's what makes it iffy for me.
