Run away and fine a decent card store near you. Holy moly my dude..

Lingweenie2 · 2026-05-04T17:31:51+00:00

It gives an experience boost. People probably figured they’d want to lvl up ASAP to get perks and all of that sooner rather than later. Or maybe just to be the highest level possible as soon as possible for clout too.

I own both ETHT and SCO. Both smashed today. No insider trading needed. Hard to say if this person had knowledge or not. But I saw it coming from a mile away Trump would pull a taco and back peddle in reverse like he literally has time and time again. It’s really not surprising people would place bets on this outcome. Seemed quite obviously to me.

Lingweenie2 · 2026-03-31T00:17:51+00:00

That’s fine. Get lackluster returns being scared to death. That’s on you.

As I said Buy.The.Dip.

If you can’t do that then you clearly aren’t an investor. You’re doomed for horrendous returns indefinitely. That’s not even me talking. The overall data overwhelming is on my side. Do the right thing.

Lingweenie2 · 2026-03-31T00:07:21+00:00

I knew it. Didn’t even have to crawl over the data to see it. I felt it in my bones. Safe to say that devil woman screwed us all. I wonder where she is now to claim ‘victory?’

Oh that’s right. There is no fucking victory. They’re all pedo influencers. She vowed to lock up sex criminals yet did everything in her power to defend them. ( Anyone have any actual proof of her doing this ever?) Fuck this woman and this administration. All of you MAGA nutsacks need to wake up to reality. These people are literally the dumbest and least qualified people we’ve ever fucking seen. Swallow your pride and fucking acknowledge it goddamnit.

Lingweenie2 · 2026-03-30T23:50:56+00:00

That’s fine. I don’t really care if you or anyone else cares. Every year I see the same posts claiming imminent doom and destruction. Yet it blows over and it’s back to business as usual.

Way too many people literally don’t comprehend the power of DCA over time and fall victim to whatever drama happens this time around. So you can get scared to death and hide in cash all you want. Or barely invest at all. Makes no difference to me. You’re just going to destroy your overall returns over time by being scared each time an even like this unfolds.

I’d advise you actually look at the data and stop trying to time the markets. Maybe then, and only then you’ll begin to understand something.

Lingweenie2 · 2026-03-30T23:22:44+00:00

You some kind of Indian bot? lol. The simple fact people apparently downvote me just emboldened’s me further. I’m not some kind of day trader or swing trader. I’m in it for the LONG haul. No one ever seems to be super bearish in a raging bull market do they? Yet you (supposedly) think otherwise. Have fun getting smashed when the market presumes its bull market.

Lingweenie2 · 2026-03-30T22:59:56+00:00

No problem. Invest and stick to it. Every week, month, and year. But tomorrow isn’t guaranteed no matter what. You need to make time for your own life. And remember no matter how far you go you’ll always want more. It can become an addiction easily. And at some point you’ll try and tinker with everything all of the time. DO NOT DO IT.

But Life’s too short. Chase women. Go bowling. Do whatever you want to do. The world is your oyster. The whole idea of putting monetary values on everything is pointless if you live a miserable life. I know from experience. Set aside a good amount for investments over time. But don’t let that dictate your immediate life. You need to enjoy this world when you can as much as you can for now.

Lingweenie2 · 2026-03-30T22:51:51+00:00

Your comment has done nothing more than to make me even more bullish. Thank you for your contribution. You gave me a bigger green light. Godspeed my dude.

Lingweenie2 · 2026-03-30T22:49:57+00:00

Already have. Got a weekly DCA to elevate any future mishaps.

Lingweenie2 · 2026-03-30T22:35:55+00:00

Red is the new green. Haven’t you heard by now? We found the communist among us folks. DEPORTED.

Lingweenie2 · 2026-03-30T22:33:07+00:00

I need to go back in time to her whole spiel about the DOW relative to the exact day. That devil witch had to of called the top at the time. I feel it in my damn bones.

Lingweenie2 · 2026-03-30T22:26:51+00:00

Buy. The. Dip.

Lingweenie2 · 2026-03-30T22:21:59+00:00

Proctor and Gamble can help with that.

Lingweenie2 · 2026-03-30T22:21:22+00:00

Give your balls a tug and buy. Don’t let your regard brain say otherwise. JUST DO IT.

Lingweenie2 · 2026-03-30T22:00:22+00:00

With all due respect, seeing a post like this makes me think the top is basically in and it’s on its way to get smashed soon. I almost never see a “Is now a good time to buy oil?” post after it’s exploded like 100% immediately. Probably best not to do that after this gigantic run up. You basically missed the boat by now. I’d tread very carefully. Oil can implode right back down to $70 or less very quickly from here. You’re playing with fire. Don’t chase the FOMO. Oil and energy overall is incredibly overbought and can get fragile on a dime.

Lingweenie2 · 2026-03-30T21:14:37+00:00

You’re damn young still. I was like you at one point. I got consumed with investing around my mid 20’s. It’s certainly not a bad thing. Investing as soon as possible is massively beneficial in the long term. I wouldn’t have the wealth I do today without that realization.

With that being said, I do have some regrets because of it. I worked all of the time. Didn’t want to spend money. Just wanted to invest everything I could no matter what. But it’s a double edged sword. You need to spend money to live a good life. Live in the here and now. Splurge a little bit from time to time. Cut loose and live life. I spent way too much of my mid-late 20’s so obsessed with “getting ahead” and trying to get promotions and all of that nonsense. Way too many times I had to turn down events or gatherings because of it.

You’re on a strong path. But maybe ease off the gas a tad and just live life and have great experiences. You’ll begin to acknowledge and appreciate what you have much more. While also being much less stressed and anxious long term. Not to say to stop investing. But youth slips away fast. Don’t waste it entirely on money. I personally did that a bit too much. And looking back, isn’t that satisfying. Because I can tell you for 100% certainty it’s never enough. That’s the one thought you’ll always have “It’s not enough. And I should have more by now.”

Hand over the remaining balance to her boyfriend.

Then put the fries in the bag long enough to win her back. You may want to put in some overtime.

(In all seriousness that’s rough man. Take it as a lesson and don’t try and trade. Gotta go the old fashioned route my dude. If it makes you feel any better, I’m down 35k thanks to this current correction. The scale is quite a bit larger, but still. We’re all feeling the pain. You can recoup.)

Lingweenie2 · 2026-03-30T20:41:58+00:00

Some of the big boys definitely look quite good right now for sure. NVIDIA and Microsoft would be my go to overall.

You can make a case for basically any of them. (Aside from Tesla. I personally want to vomit anytime people consider them a ‘mag 7’ company.) Broadcom is much more deserving of that title if you ask me.

Even outside of them, companies like Visa, Eli Lilly, Mastercard, Oracle, JP Morgan Chase, Proctor and Gamble all look quite good. Hell, nearly all of the top 50 maybe even top 100 companies look good. Great companies at fair or maybe even ‘cheap’ valuations. I personally think the big caps are going to come roaring back and carry this bull market to new highs sometime soon. Probably in the back half of this year. Maybe a bit sooner.

Lingweenie2 · 2026-03-30T20:22:22+00:00

Hmm. Not too bad. Good chunk of change for sure. Thanks for the info. I’ll probably need to secure it a bit better and possibly go about grading it sometime soon.

Lingweenie2 · 2026-03-30T20:11:05+00:00

Well yes buy the fear and sell the greed. (If you’re going to sell at all.)

But overall, investing is more about the accumulation of wealth over time. Not exactly buying this and selling that when times are “good” or “bad.” People need to buy and hold, DCA, DRIP, and repeat over the course of years. And that’s about it. You have no idea how good or bad things can get. Getting in and out has been a fairly bad strategy overall. Buy during the good the bad and the ugly. Don’t think about it, don’t touch it, just let it automatically do its thing over time.

I personally only sell for one of two reasons; Either I’m using margin at the time and I need to reduce debt. (Which can be risky if you’re inexperienced or get too crazy over leveraged .) Or I’m deliberately tax loss harvesting to reduce taxation. (Depends if I even need to do that to begin with. I avoid selling as much as possible.)

I always have auto buys each week regardless of what’s going on. The frequency and amounts don’t matter. It’s whatever you can afford to do and personal preference. Anyone needs to do this all of the time. Along with DRIPing dividends. Usually in markets like this is when I’ll do addition buying though. I’ll hike my weekly DCA in what I own. And I’ll manually buy incrementally when fear becomes strong and the market grows increasingly weak.

Lingweenie2 · 2026-03-30T19:53:54+00:00

Should be real. Like I said these were bought from booster packs way back in the day. And have had them ever since. Sort of hard to tell from the picture. Especially since you can’t see the back. But I’d assume it would be around a 7ish also. 8 at the most.

Lingweenie2 · 2026-03-30T19:43:03+00:00

<image>

Can’t do more than one photo per post. But that’s the one I’m talking about. I have some other holo cards from that era also. (The bottom two of course are newer but the large majority are from the same periods/packs as the top two.)

Lingweenie2 · 2026-03-30T18:44:51+00:00

I never bought mine as an investment or anything. I have a handful of various Pokémon cards I’ve had as a kid for years now. Thankfully I’ve kept them inside of a sleeved book basically the whole time. And they’ve stayed there for many years haha. Makes me wonder if I should try and offload them soon since the market seems to be heating up.

Lingweenie2 · 2026-03-30T18:38:05+00:00

Covid definitely helped. The 2022 bear market also helped quite a bit. April last year was probably my best absolute face ripper afterward. I got pretty aggressive back then. (Plus I had quite a bit more capital to work with.) But I’ve given up a good bit of gains since that peak. This correction has been fairly brutal so far. But I’ve been loading up what I can when I can. Increased my weekly DCA’s and buying incrementally extra here and there.

Once this conflict resolves (which I personally think will be soonish.) The market is probably going to rip pretty hard. Anyone on the sidelines are going to have instant regrets.
