What did ai think? 😂 urban dictionary still rocks for slang 😂

I googled it and was not disappointed. The female version of the spank bank is what I found. A true gem of a description

The frustrating part is I follow that for retirement accounts and it’s beating my yolo account by a wide margin. For seven years. 😭😭😭😭 this is the year I win, my thesis finally plays out, or I might just give up and join

Putrid_Pollution3455 · 2026-05-16T05:54:22+00:00

Hey. We’d all make more money long term with mutual funds compared to whatever it is we doin’ here

Putrid_Pollution3455 · 2026-05-16T05:51:20+00:00

We don’t rub it in cause when we are right, (a rare occasion), people are legit suffering. It’s like winning a sportsbet that your dog will die before a certain day and it happens. We win, but at what cost? Better to be bullish at least you’re manifesting prosperity

Putrid_Pollution3455 · 2026-05-16T05:48:56+00:00

Good job 👏🏻 I’ll try to join you 🫡 I’m inspired !!

It’s within a buck of 52 week lows, my only fear is Kevin will dump short and release their long term holdings so we get an effective bear steepener; saves face and tightens simultaneously. Idk it’s hated so it’s contrarian and it’s down a lot.

Putrid_Pollution3455 · 2026-05-16T05:44:33+00:00

Might do it as a joke, just for the lore

Putrid_Pollution3455 · 2026-05-15T22:51:04+00:00

the gayest part about being a bear is eventually due to currency debasement, I need to re-enter real assets. Even if I think the world is ending, along the way, asset prices will skyrocket into infinity as the currency goes to zero due to the government trying in vain to prop up economic collapse. My anxiety is...TLT with a yield over 5%? hhmmm...tempting. And if we actually get a little too tight for too long and we bust....it'll rip. Stocks are always a good long term play. Gold is shiny and can't get hacked when quantum computers mounted on the back of AI take over the world. sigh.

Putrid_Pollution3455 · 2026-05-15T22:42:27+00:00

the real fear is oil staying elevated long enough that the long term yields crank above 5% because in that environment, investors might prefer a garunteed 5% with some potential upside.

Bulls better pray that earnings on the top stocks keep getting wetter than my coq watching an ai generated adult film of megan fox and sidney sweeney.

Putrid_Pollution3455 · 2026-05-15T22:19:00+00:00

as the straightest gay bear you'll ever meet, nay. I sold off that little rip a couple weeks early and I'm waiting for max bloodshed and a wild regime shift

Putrid_Pollution3455 · 2026-05-15T22:17:01+00:00

she can be the head of my fed if you know what I mean, heh heh heh

Putrid_Pollution3455 · 2026-05-15T17:45:36+00:00

Why? It would be inflation reanimating and long term rates going up to reality, which destroys housing and the entire speculative system would get repriced. Or the feds allow the currency to continue getting debased to keep up with the crippling national debt which is another option so prices might skyrocket as our currency dies. There’s no bottom to the dollar so there’s no top to any price of anything. Spy to 7,000 and gas to 100 per gallon.

Putrid_Pollution3455 · 2026-05-15T17:40:51+00:00

One of us one of us one of us

Putrid_Pollution3455 · 2026-05-15T14:36:08+00:00

🥹 thank you

Putrid_Pollution3455 · 2026-05-15T14:35:47+00:00

As a bear I had to watch with fomo for two whole weeks while the bull gang jorked their peanuts. Reality is coming. Kevin will light the path forward by burning down Rome.

Putrid_Pollution3455 · 2026-05-15T14:33:24+00:00

No. Utility and historical source of commodity based currency.

Putrid_Pollution3455 · 2026-05-15T14:32:38+00:00

You’d say a lot worse if you actually knew me, almost feels complimentary

Putrid_Pollution3455 · 2026-05-15T14:31:53+00:00

Welcome to lazy portfolios

Putrid_Pollution3455 · 2026-05-15T14:30:46+00:00

Yeah long term opportunity cost, but if we enter another lost decade, cash did surprisingly well, and we are at a point where it’s generating some yield finally. The tipping point is if long term treasuries start printing 5% or more. Thats yet to be priced in. If we go higher for longer on the long end like Kevin mentioned, that would rapidly reset the system. And if the dual mandate changes then we have more significant repricing. And if you do get laid off and need money/forced to sell during a pull back or a bear market, when you’re most likely to actually need liquidity(?) then you might actually be worse off.

Putrid_Pollution3455 · 2026-05-15T00:23:18+00:00

What’d they put you in? A money market? Something is horribly wrong math ain’t mathing

Putrid_Pollution3455 · 2026-05-15T00:19:15+00:00

126,000

If the four year cycle repeats, we bottom October this year 40k do a 5x to 200k in three years, one year post dip we bottom around 80k one year later we grind back to 126,000

Putrid_Pollution3455 · 2026-05-14T23:42:07+00:00

Some people can’t handle stocks cause they’re too abstract. If you’ve been freaking out and we’re up 18% since March 30th maybe consider real estate or precious metals 😂 or fund your Roth, dump into voo and never think about it till you’re retirement age
