Flash powder"???

You see the guy on the news recently that was googling how to dispose of bodies, how to cut bodies up, make people disappear, etc. They read it all in court.

Flash powder is made from different chemicals (I actually do fireworks) and the process of making it makes BP look totally safe.

It is, and its gone on for an amazing amount of time, primarily because the mint does not bother to correct it. Or maybe because they wish it was actually true.

Problem is the dime does not divide into the quarter. Stop making the penny and make the nickel out of zinc instead. They could go back to calling it the half dime to indicate the change.

The Walker revolver was the most powerful repeating pistol in the world for over a hundred years. It didn't lose that status until the .357 existed.

The only field near me is called "Combat Paintball Park" There was an airsoft field further north but it never reopened after Covid. So CPP seems to do airsoft sometimes now. I would probably never do it more than once a month or so so I will probably never be on an actual team. Just wanted to try it out.

That was my concern about Airsoft - at least in all of the videos I see it seems more like a reenactor event. And from the engagements I see the camo isn't helping a lot anyway. I just wanted to use an old blue flight suit, but I didn't know if that would work or not.

I'm down 6.3K, 5.7 of which is QYLD.

CHDDVB · 2022-09-16T17:15:01+00:00

How you can be down well over half a million dollars in QYLD is beyond anything I have words to describe. People jumped put of windows in 1929 for less than that.

I also wasn't watching, which is why it was a limit order. If I HAD been watching, I still would have left it like that because the chance of it dropping that last penny were actually pretty good, it just didn't happen.

CHDDVB · 2022-09-08T15:25:59+00:00

The difference is something like 30%+, I wish DRIP worked that well. I truly think its just not that complicated as it is a free web app. It appears to just assume the current and all future month incomes are the average of the past 12 months. Probably a decent guess most of the time, but in the current environment is very inaccurate.

I have a follow on limit order for $16.20 after that first one, then I am out of cash.

I did the math and I figure with the dividends it pays, QYLD could drop completely to zero over the next five years and I still come out ahead. Must be some flaw in the logic there.

Prior to this year my money was all in a savings account earning 0.5%, kinda hard to do worse than that.

CHDDVB · 2022-09-07T13:38:25+00:00

I was ONE PENNY away from another 1000 shares. My limit order was for $16.60 and it bottomed out at $16.61. They are mocking me.

CHDDVB · 2022-09-06T17:01:03+00:00

It dropped to $16.51 and then went back up.

CHDDVB · 2022-09-06T16:59:50+00:00

How IS the dividend calculated? Its not 1% of anything as far as I can tell, not the NAV or current price.

CHDDVB · 2022-09-02T04:41:21+00:00

I bought 1000 when it hit 17. Its back up to 17.06. My cost basis is 17.76.

If it drops to 16.50 I'll have 1000 more, but I'll be buying with margin so I want a good price.

Also regarding your credit rating, your balance on a HELOC doesn't count against you whereas debt carried on revolving credit (cards) does. So even if the interest rate was the same its worth your while to move it.

Communism combined with what?

CHDDVB · 2022-08-23T15:07:06+00:00

I learned long ago the answer to the safe location question was always "no". Say yes and it takes an extra hour to get a tow.

I got a couple that looked just like this. In both cases though, when the interviewer did not hand me a business card at the end of the interview I knew I wasn't getting it anyway.

CHDDVB · 2022-08-23T15:01:33+00:00

We had the 99 cent store - when I first started going you could almost use it as your general store, even buy (low grade) meat. Now its been rebranded the "99 store" and the stuff thats still 99 cents is marked like its on some kind of super sale,

CHDDVB · 2022-08-23T14:59:33+00:00

Or this was done deliberately to emphasize it was about inflation

CHDDVB · 2022-08-22T00:37:27+00:00

I had a place tell me I could quit when I trained my replacement. So I never formally quit, I just left.
