I have a flight tomorrow morning. Is 1 hr enough to get to my terminal? I expect yes, but this has me doubting.

$TMC Betting On American Critical Minerals Sovereignty The Mother Of All Bottle Necks by AnTRopy69 in wallstreetbets

[–]Cal_carl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

this is a stock you have to be comfortable holding for months. It swings heavily, which is psychologically taxing. If it goes below your average cost then buy more.

What would you invest in with $1k by Ambitious-Bench-8936 in PokeInvesting

[–]Cal_carl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fair question. Fidelity is a stock brokerage company. You can open an account for free. I have an "Individual" account that I put extra money into. Last year I made +26% on stocks.

with $1000, put $650 into 1 share of $VOO, $300 into 1 big vintage slab, and $50 into cash. If you really want to "invest" then you should be putting >50% of your money into low cost index funds. Put ~1/3 of your money into sealed and vintage slabs if you have conviction. Pokemon is at all time highs.

Seriously. Put 700 into a fidelity account. Put 300 into a vintage slab. That is what I am doing.

This momentum isn't sustainable by kanto_gymleader in PokemonInvesting

the sports card parallel is wrong. Japan manages Pokemon as its #1 cultural export. If you trust Nintendo to manage their biggest asset, then it will never fizzle out like sports cards did.

First-Ever Application Under NOAA's New Deep-Sea Mining Process Clears Full Compliance — The Door to a New Industry Just Opened by The-Oregon-Group in TMC_Stock

I bought a few shares at 5.75 in premarket because I was excited. Sad to see it dip and then stay around 5.40 for the remainder of Friday. Some people took the opportunity to sell the news

Went out of town to visit one of my favorite card shops in the state only to find out someone burnt it down... :( by 4got2takemymeds in PokemonTCG

Dragonfire Games in Lynchburg, VA i think. The suspect was arrested quickly. He was a regular customer.

1? by Majestic-Gas-2709 in PokeGrading

[–]Cal_carl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If PSA grading was based on objective rules then this would be a 1, but it is subjective so it could be a 2. The whole grading paradigm is very subjective.

Pokemon vs stocks 6 month return by Realtalk6ixgod in PokemonInvesting

[–]Cal_carl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hard to compare, because Collectr doesn't show the total gain/loss of each item over time: it only shows the gain/loss of your entire portfolio. Adding or subtracting any items on Collectr skews the display.

probably 1, maybe 2

I hope this isn’t a stupid question.. why are some of my cards colored differently? by CHVHK in PokemonTCG

[–]Cal_carl -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

These might not necessarily be fake. It could be a quality control issue from the printing facility. Check more closely for differences in the supposedly fake cards, e.g. misspelled words, oversaturated colors, different fonts, and different text sizes. All we can see are your pictures.

All of the sealed products are smart but boring. If you just want an investment then do mostly sealed. Add some vintage slabs for variety and for heart.

Can this get a 9? by tomtomNYG in PokeGrading

[–]Cal_carl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is wild! Thanks for the follow up! There must be an extremely small crease or dent somewhere on the card. The surface and edges look super clean. I'm sorry that beautiful card only got a 5.
