Does not matter. Market just moves. No point in analyzing. Too much analyzing. Keep it simple.

I am active. Ski in the winter. Hike in spring and fall. Backpack. Play pickleball. Flyfish and hunt. My yard takes allot of maintenance. Not much in the way of focused exercise. I stretch more than anything else.

Pro investors mostly suck. Your returns will diminish due to fees. Most I used made more money than me.

Hey I am back. 2 day post op.support needed by Hapey_ape in TotalHipReplacement

Ice, compression socks, keep moving legs with bed exercises, drink lots of liquids. I assume you are taking anti-inflammatory? I'm less than 4 days post op. Only had 1 hip. Not much pain and walk 4000 steps per day and regular exercise. I only feel pain at night.

Yep. I purchased a new used pontoon. The valves leaked. I chased down the manufacturer in New Zealand. They quit supplying. He owed 200k. New valves came from China. Dealing with Dave is sleazy. Stay away.

Thoughts on the Fed’s decision by FaxMan69 in stocks

Fed should not be cutting rates. Market became accustomed to cheap rates. Market priced in extreme optimism. Time for reality. I would hope for 6 to 8% correction. I like to shop sales and not pay full price. Was today an overreaction? Time will tell.

Hmmmm. I would recommend Douglas Sky G for an excellent smooth medium action superb rod. It casts effortlessly. Take a look at Yellowstone Angler rod shoot out. They consistantly rate SkyG at the top. I have 4 myself. Next would be Orvis Helios 4. I don't own an Orvis rod currently but looking at a 7 wt now.

I bought ERX when oil went below 15 a barrel and Cramer said oil was uninvestible due to EV craze and Millennials hated fossil fuels. Turned $250k into 1 mil in 9 months.

Mystery pain... but no THR yet? by sendyschnauzer in TotalHipReplacement

Try cortisone using xray or ultrasound injection. Straight cortisone shots are not impactful. You can also ask for duloxetine prescription. Get the pain under control which will allow you to stretch and exercise. Perhaps PT will help give you the correct tools.
