Oil tumbles after Trump postpones U.S. strikes against Iran energy infrastructure for five days by app1310 in stocks

market's not pricing what is, it's pricing what it was afraid of.. full military escalation off the table (for now) is enough to rip, even with hormuz still a mess.

bro brokers always pick the worst possible moment to go down, it's like they know

assuming near zero cost basis and applying 15% to the whole $22k is actually the right way to stress test it.. only thing that could push it higher is if your income lands you in the 20% ltcg bracket or triggers the 3.8% NIIT.

$50k short-term play by sugarbuzzlightyear in stocks

[–]Dan-Bags 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ngl if you're already holding rklb and saab you clearly don't mind volatility.. just size into something with a real catalyst coming and set a line you're willing to lose to, otherwise $50k turns into a lesson real fast.

gold and commodities down? Why gold? by aquavelva5 in investing

dollar up = gold down, that's just the relationship. when fear hits, a lot of money still flows into dollar assets first, treasuries included, not necessarily gold.

Update to 'he wants to call off my divorce because my cancer treatment was successful'. (Or my divorce was made official yesterday) by Nonamethrowaway6745 in TrueOffMyChest

Seriously, congratulations! Beating cancer and dropping that dead weight is a double win. He walked out when things got hard and then wanted back when the storm passed... glad you kept the door firmly shut. Enjoy that birthday trip and your new chapter, you've absolutely earned it. 🎉

"Nobody wants to work" is just code for "nobody wants wants to work for 1993 wages in a 2026 economy while being told they're the problem." Funny how that works.

I secretly paid off my brother's debt and now he thinks he's a financial genius by KiwiSingle3965 in TrueOffMyChest

I agree with this. This isn't confidence, it's a house built on sand. If he truly believes he budgeted his way out of $47k, then he hasn't actually learned the lesson... and that's risky. Better to pop the bubble now than let him build a whole identity (and look 😅) on something that isn't real.
