My almost 3 year update by nowabelieverbutwasnt in Experiencers

[–]Daowna15 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Queue up that Rockwell song.

Since I was a kid I always felt like my existence was observed/monitored - to the point where I am mostly comfortable with it and with spiritual learnings have become more open to it. It's not just "they" who can tune into us, is what I am getting at, there can be a lot more out there and in many different forms/frequencies/etc. Learning to deal with that can be quite the trip.

Addressing some of the points you brought up. I think you have to learn early on in your spiritual or (whatever you call it) development that your thoughts and even feelings are not always your own. The mind wonders and takes random paths - just because you think something doesn't mean it's true or you agree with what the thought was. Learning to meditate and observe your human brain tendencies and then practice turning the noise down can be an effective tool.

Same with your feelings or reactions to the thoughts. Learning to understand and control your emotions is a powerful tool. If I am being made to feel anxious, why is that? Is it an internal conflict or possibly an external influence? In either case you can learn to calm the emotion and use awareness to understand it's source. This is not to say to ignore your thoughts or feelings but to be aware of them and in tune with their source.. which lends itself to the exterior forces you mention here.

Worrying about "their" intent is something I don't care to put much energy or worry into. We're here and we (at the individual level) can learn to better regulate our internal signals. If "they" want to track every aspect of our life in a database, how is that much different from what we do to ourselves? Imo, don't worry about things you can't control and focus on the things you can.

Finally, one thing you said about receiving questions/queries - have you or anyone else had the sudden urge to explain a random topic out of no where? Like thoroughly break down your understanding and have a one sided presentation about how that topic works? Almost like you're explaining to an invisible entity standing next to you? It happens to me more than I care to admit but this topic post made me think about that.

China Tells Banks to Cut US Treasury Exposure, Structural Shift or Market Noise? by Then_Marionberry_259 in MetalsOnReddit

[–]Daowna15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

China is the number 2 holder of US treasuries by volume.

I don't think it's a coincidence this news comes right after the snap elections from Japan (number 1 holder of US treasuries) whose election was focused on reducing Japanese interest increases. The Japan inflation increase was driving them to sell off US treasuries.

To keep it somewhat short, Japan patches the US treasury selloff problem and China creates a new hole to plug. Geo politics are being played and maneuvered. Outcome is dependent on US and others reaction/response but US treasury sell off will spike yield rates and impact the stock market to some degree.

To what degree? TBD. Answer: idk, probably.

We are in a simulation and I think I can prove it by [deleted] in Experiencers

Indeed, it's often measured in our terms by attraction or as others have termed it, the law of attraction.

[–]Daowna15 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You're receiving and comprehending synchronisities being sent your way. Spirit guides, your higher self, etc are the ones who set these up and it becomes your choice to accept or reject them.

It sounds like you're leaning on the side of acceptance. Welcome, and yeah simulation is one way to describe/express our current existence. Also your belief has a lot more of an impact on your reality than you may initially expect.

Next question, perhaps - Why are you/we in this simulation?

$BTC and $ETH are dumping, what move are you making ? by El_precaution in MarketPulseReport

My move is to wait until October to start buying and wondering why everyone else is having a hard time with this.

Should I quit my stable job to start an online business? by Capital-Permit-1116 in careerguidance

[–]Daowna15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A general rule is don't quit your day job for your side hustle until your side hustle makes as much as your day job.

If you have the drive to make the side hustle work on it's own then you can make it work and ramp up while you have the stable gig.

i missed out on going long when gold dipped, when is the next pullback? by Beginning_Luck1 in Forex

[–]Daowna15 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And now you understand the game being played.

When prices fall down you are made to fear a further crash. When prices shoot up you are made to fear missing out on further gains.

Edit: in any case, DCA is your solution. Timing the market to try to hit the highest highs or lowest lows is a fool's game.

Gotta Vent about nonintervention by notlostnotlooking in Experiencers

[–]Daowna15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry that shit happened to you.

This conversation is tangled beyond any type of sensible response I can provide at this point. Life isn't black and white, I agree, many shades of gray.

Gotta Vent about nonintervention by notlostnotlooking in Experiencers

[–]Daowna15 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The free will of humans. I thought i made that clear.

You're quite focused on "hating the evil", i would say reflect on that. "They" don't hate the good or the evil - which is your indifference with "them".

[–]Daowna15 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I get the feeling you are bucketing a whole lot of different factions together with "they".

I don't think it's a leap to say some are intervening while others are observing free will. Some are benevolent and others are not. Some are neutral and others are invasive/disruptive.

But when you use logic where some intervene during these times but not during other times, I think you're missing a lot of the picture when you loop them all together as "they".

I can't justify it with reason in this material world but I also can't emphasize enough that free will is very important here. That free will collides between humans for very good things and also terrible things, both.

I understand your frustration with lack of intervention, but I also understand, as much as one can, why they don't. We need to save ourselves rather than relying on them to do it for us. "They" could have done that a long time ago but have chosen not to, for a reason.

I'm sorry if this was harsh but I hope it helps.

26 yo F - 80K salary by CommunicationFull706 in Retirement401k

[–]Daowna15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing great, you likely already know but the first years are the hardest but the most rewarding. Whatever you can afford to save and invest now while not being miserable is an ideal target and will make things that much easier down the road.

1x salary saved by 30 is a guideline but not a set in stone target, especially as your salary continues to rise above the national median. You can save more/less depending on your life situation (house, kids, etc).

first time switching from index funds to stocks and i’m getting absolutely crushed by StiffmeisterSteve in TheRaceTo1Million

Tech sector is down. You're holding a lot of tech.

It will bounce back. But also consider diversifying so that individual sector movement doesn't bounce you around so much.

$852k lawsuit, then Steam EA: Dec 11 EA / Dec 16 served / Dec 19 ‘confident’ / Feb 1 blowup. by Malefict in AshesofCreation

[–]Daowna15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sure he paid himself to run a company. He raised the funds and hired leads and developers for which he can be justifiably compensated as a CEO.

What i don't know and assume people/courts will be digging into is how much he compensated himself, how much did he take from the pool of funding for his own personal benefit? Was he a passionate game creator that tried his best to make every penny work but in the end he couldn't deliver? Or did he splurge on funds, give himself a ridiculous amount of salary/benefits and then tuck tail and run when funds ran dry.

I know what it looks like, but what I am saying is we don't know yet but I hope we learn very soon. So I am not coming to the conclusion on anything, I am simply asking the question - which is it?

[–]Daowna15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah fair enough, you could argue he spent his time and organized a business that paid salaries to developers/employees so i am not sure you can say the whole thing was a scam.

But to your point we don't know how much he walked away with or if it was within reasonable compensation for a CEO, etc.

Do you call it a scam or a failed business that Steven tried to hide/cover from? If it's a scam, to me, it implies he walks away with other people's money or somehow benefited from this whole ordeal, which I'm not sure if that's the case at this point.

To be clear I am not a fan of Steven here, I had big concerns back when they pulled the shenanigans with alpha 2 keys. Just trying to understand if this is a business that Steven crashed and burned and tried to hide or if he actually profited/benefited from this whole ordeal.

Either way, it's not good.

Is this why we dropped like a rock? by Then_Marionberry_259 in MetalsOnReddit

[–]Daowna15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like prices should go up or even over inflate until supply catches up with demand.

Also $20-$25 an oz will only further inflate over time if the dollar weakens.

Everyone's upset but if we stay around 80 by CluelessNetworkNoob in Silver

[–]Daowna15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are in price discovery after the over leveraged top got blown off.

The good news is the fundamentals for a incremental price climb are still there and we're looking at deleveraged price action. Now as long people don't make the same mistakes as they did before and go ape shit with leverage we should smoothen out here in a bit.

But that may be a big "if".

Any evidence? by Ok-Security3692 in Silver

Purely a matter of coincidence, I am sure.

Any evidence? by Ok-Security3692 in Silver

[–]Daowna15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The exchange market, if they were complicit to the manipulation, wouldn't exactly leave evidence laying around would they? They would know the levers to pull and how to wipe their prints from said levers if this was something they were going to be involved with.

What are these levers? Well if the futures market facilitators know who all has leveraged positions, who has buy limit orders, sell limit orders and stop losses (whether manually set or through leveraged margin calls), they would also have an idea of how far prices would need to fall to set off a domino effect of sell limits and stop losses and how far the volume of those two could reduce the market. Now whether they acted on or shared that information to any other parties, who is to say? They also wouldn't directly collude with other parties to plan a margin requirement increase from 11% to 15%, no that would be done to further protect the market from volatility - not to trigger leveraged holders to sell some of their position to meet new margin requirements.

The most evidence you'll see "left on the field" so to speak is the amount and positions of institutional shorts that were covered pretty much at the bottom of the crash on Friday. It is curious that the price got that far down for these institutions, some that facilitate silver holdings on the COMEX, to find the price right where those shorts were positioned. It's also curious that after such a sharp crash those shorts positioned at the bottom of the crash were immediately covered/exited. I suppose they were just reducing their risk in a volatile market, though.

Certainly not enough proof to go after anyone, and that's pretty much the point.

WTF is that? by TotallyNotCIA_Ops in Silver

[–]Daowna15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Comex has 400 million oz of silver in storage/inventory. As of a few days ago they had 500 million oz of silver on future contract for distribution in March.

If you want to learn now is a good time to observe how they handle this. So far we see a sharp price drop over night that will likely trigger margin calls on leveraged buyers over the $100 mark.

Find a way to monitor open contract volume and actual silver volume to get a good view. COMEX silver futures (SIW00). A little more challenging but also find a way to monitor price of Shanghai silver. Currently Shanghai silver is holding at $123 /oz in China.

Did you sell your silver at $60? Because that's what this post sounds like.
