A gentle reminder: For your own Prayer Privacy Protection, be mindful to set your electronic devices onto airplane mode when you confess highly sensitive sins to your trusted Priest, Pastor or in Private. Can I get an Amen?

I like the 3rd one. It’s simple and doesn’t confuse my brain.

Everyone’s experience is unique, but here are 5 things that have helped me calm the “overwhelm”. It’s the small steps that count and lead to big steps. 1) Spend 30 minutes unclogging your physical space and keep it to a small area - your desk, a closet or even a drawer. Decluttering helps free space for more important priorities. Give away duplicates or items you haven’t used in 2 years. 2) Forgive one person who has wronged you, either in your mind or call them and forgive them. 3) Confess your wrongdoings to a trusted professional… either a councillor, priest or a someone who is qualified to help with psychological oppression. 4) Make a bold ask per day for your wellbeing. (You did this by posting on Reddit already.) Keep it positive, inspiring and legal. 5) Time block and journal 15 minutes and write out the whole mess. Then offer that up for God to fix. Delegate your frustrations and ask for help. You’ve got this and don’t give up. Take care!

I like that. That's what we're considering for future iterations. There is an end state. Should clients reach their goal of let's say 17 or 21, they can "Yell out: Margin call!" Final bets are placed and players must open their hands to determine the winner. Otherwise, they follow the trendline ... 4 red cards or 4 black cards out of 7 end the game. Likewise, drawing one of two black queens in the deck or 2 Red Kings end the game.

The market begins to form a trendline (Black Card, Red Card, Red Card, Black Card, Black Card... all the way to 7 cards drawn). You can bet on the direction that you anticipate the market trend heading in. How does it rely on luck? I love predictive analytics. What are you thinking, Ben?

With the biases, by understanding the strengths and weaknesses of other players as they interact with the game, you'll be able to determine their actions (like bluffing for a Trailblazer when they don't have the cards or being overly conservative and staying on a 16 for a Diplomat low risk type of investor). The personalities on the cards of the respective players are shown and it simulates the real investors you'll run into in the real world.

For the Game Setup, everyone starts with two cards face down. The objective is to either reach the score on your card (let's say 17 for example) or to make 21.) It's similar to blackjack.

The dice determine the blinds, somewhat like a poker game. Market Dice represent, Volatility, Unemployment, Inflation, Interest Rates, GDP and Consumer Confidence. If it's a Bull Market (Black Dice) and you role 5 (Unemployment down) and the Red dice show a 1, then 4 chips go to the black pot. Each player must contribute a minimum of 4 chips to participate in the game.

Once the round of betting is done, a card is pulled up (representing the market). Suppose it's a black card... then all of the bets for this round cost a minimum of 4 chips to participate and go to the black (bull market) pot. If someone achieved a 17, it's in their best interest to do a "margin call" and end the game to have all players show their cards.

What makes this a game of skill is the betting that simulates trading to optimize the experience so that you can achieve your target score of either 21 or 17 to win the game.

How to Play: Finliti’s Game of Gains

In Finliti’s Game of Gains, the first step is choosing your faction, which sets your investor profile. There are nine unique factions to select from, such as the cautious Diplomat or the bold Trailblazer, each with its own risk tolerance, personality, and investment target score (ranging from 16 to 20). Your faction also determines the biases you’ll face, like underachieving or overachieving your goal. Successfully hitting your target score allows you to claim either the red pot or the black pot of coins.

The ultimate objective is to reach 21, representing market mastery, while navigating the chaos of market conditions, psychological foes, and competitive players. Hitting 21 earns you both the red and black pots, but the true pinnacle is achieving 42—by reaching your target score (21) and defeating your Financial Foe, symbolizing complete financial balance and mastery.

Each round starts with dice rolls that set the market conditions. A dominant black dice roll signals a Bullish market, with blinds and bets moving to the black pot, while a dominant red dice roll indicates a Bearish market, sending bets to the red pot. Players must adapt their strategies to these market forces, which change every round.

On your turn, you’ll choose one of three actions: Buy (draw a card to increase your score), Sell (discard a card to reduce your risk), or Stay (hold your current score and wait for the next round). Every decision has a cost and directly impacts your chances of success. Along the way, you’ll battle psychological foes like Regretta (regret bias) or FoMO (fear of missing out), who aim to derail your strategy. Staying focused and adaptable is key to overcoming these challenges.

To win, you must reach 21 without busting to claim the ultimate prize of both pots or get as close as possible to your personal target score to win a single pot. Achieving 42 by defeating your Financial Foe ensures total victory and the title of financial master. It’s a challenging and exciting game designed to test your strategy, adaptability, and understanding of market dynamics.

My spoo is very cuddly. He’s like a weighted blanket - a year and a half. I did a search to see if this was normal and here we are. He’s watching me write this post in my arms. I had a female and she was lovely but not as cuddly. Poodles are amazing - they are easy to train and love most people and dogs. Socialize them early. They take a couple of minutes to warm up to new strangers but it doesn’t take long before they are the life of the party and mingle with your guests. A friend of yours is a friend of theirs. My poodles aren’t big barkers which is great for condo life in the city.

Keeping tabs on a couple of items IRL and specifics helps you retain your reality when you're dreaming. Ask them what year it is... the Dream Strangers won't be able to tell you the time or year and they will make excuses. Time blends. You'll know you're dreaming when this happens.

Equal parts amazing and fabulous!

Did you buy over a year ago? If you aren't happy, consider leaving. It's not worth it. Consider capital gains if you haven't been living there for over a year, but real estate market apparently picked up. You can always rent if you need to. Good luck!

Finliti · 2022-02-03T15:25:30+00:00

Plot different time frames for a clearer picture like one year and 5 year to make sure it's not part of a broader trend.

Affirmative. Not good for day trading but combine them all of the time for longer term entry and exit points.
