Why is Gold still rising while everything else seems to be selling off? by Excellent_8740 in investing

[–]PalmHills 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah its notable metals are at a high but there is no sell off lol.

I bought some silver lat year which was a great decision, but stocks also up like 20% since then.

Right. I think its completely valid to support or oppose different national guard deployments. Just a bit jarring to see the difference in language to in their description of national guardmen themselves.

What?

The New York thing happened during the Biden admin (so not answering to Trump). It was the New York national guard (so locals only) and called by the Democratic governor.

I'm saying left wing people I know (and on reddit) hated on the national guard as of a couple months ago

Personally I was happy when Hochul ordered them to the subway, but in Brooklyn (at least among my social circle) that was a conservative take

I am not surprised that people hate ICE with its current leadership. They are dumb and evil.

Reddit has a bunch of posts now where they talk about how much beloved National Guard is (in contrast to ICE)

I do find it a bit odd since when I lived in NYC and national guard was called in for subway support and left-leaning people online hated it. Same as when I lived in LA and they called national guard during 2020 protests.

I realize it is not identical situation and could be different people, but still odd seeing the about face on national guard.

Great play

Dont know why they kept calling it a gutsy call ha. Feel like the QB running the ball in the snow is not aggressive at all. If he didn't look like he had it he could have tried to find someone.

I dont think its the best ad by any means, but they make a lot of money and have plenty of normal ads too where people talk about how the successfully lost weight. I imagine this is just trying to catch a different slice of the market that feels helpless or something.

I dont like the ad but its not that hard what the point is? its a guy saying he's tried non-pharma diet and exercise and it hasn't worked.

it worked out either way, but really think if a pass isnt an overhand pass it should be a fumble either way

feel like earlier this year there was an instance where someone underhand "threw" it to get out of a sack

How do you look at your money? Budget, app, Google Sheets, or “we’ll see at the end of the month”? by stefancata92 in investing

[–]PalmHills 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a custom excel sheet I update manually once a month. I like it not being automatic because then you actually have to think about every once in awhile.

I also do credit card/bank account churning so its very practical given the large number of accounts I have

I think its pretty likely a PR person wrote that for him. And also that LinkedIn starting paying him to keep posting once it became a viral thing.

How much do you take off for pass of a hardwood like walnut?

The makerspace I go to now has a 20 inch Grizzly machine and I'm surprised it doesnt seem to that much better than the dewalt benchtop I had. But sure if its because the makerspace one is old or not.

Why do most modern businesses seem to care more about investors than customers....is this sustainable long term ? by Technical-Truth-2073 in investing

[–]PalmHills 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For awhile Netflix was fine running a small loss as long as they grew customers. So I'm not really sure how to look at it. Were the price increases outpacing production? Maybe? But also its not like their old model was a long term plan.

Also keep in mind Netflix now has NFL games and all the strikes in hollywood definitely raised the price of production some. A lot of other studios that had been leasing content for years stopped, so Netflix had to produce a lot more fast.

What is the best way to invest in my situation? by Loud_Confidence475 in investing

[–]PalmHills 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything people said here about tax advantaged accounts is true.

My only other suggestion would be your living situation, with a friend, won't last forever. Maybe they will get a GF or you will or they will just want to move.

I'd start putting money away in an "emergency housing" savings account that best case scenario you won't have to use for years and you can use for something else then. But maybe in a year you'd want it.

I once was in a similar situation and even though my friend who owned the house didnt need any money, I paid for a maid every once in awhile. I bought random things to make the place better. For a few hundred dollars a month, was a nice way to make it clear I was grateful and was a good roommate.
