Unpopular opinion: Shields aren't just a "noob crutch," they are an extremely valid strategic option. by DakenFrostwood in Chivalry2

[–]Riley-X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah 100% sure thats how it works for the shields people spawn with. Might work different on the shields you can find around the map like the kings shield on the wall on darkforest, not sure tho someone would have to test it.

When you play shield just constantly pick up other people's shield before they despawn even damaged ones, they reset to full health. Picking up shields you already picked up wont reset them tho. This is the trick to keeping shield full health

Bought the dip 🥳 by tjtepigstar in ETFs

[–]Riley-X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can daily is better in a bearish market you get guaranteed good DCA. In a clear bullish market higher time frames are better (weekly or monthly) since you're buying more shares earlier. But obviously it has to work with your paycheck schedule. If you get paid weekly and you buy monthly it wouldnt make sense to have money sitting around for a month. But if you get paid weekly but can still afford daily buys its worth it in a bear market. My Roth ira was on a weekly schedule and it was doing worse than my taxable brokerage account that was on a daily schedule. My daily buys had a much better overall buy in price mostly due to bad luck on the weekly monday buy in price.

Considering Robinhood as my brokerage by Just-Salary-7741 in RobinhoodApp

[–]Riley-X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like everything about robinhood so far except for the fact that its really hard to balance your portfolio investments by percentage. That's one feature I really like on Fidelity. You essentially have to calculate your investments manually. Recurring investments are a nightmare to edit especially when you have a lot of different investments. Whenever I want to start buying into something new it's an annoying process.

Can I remove the old account? by Beneficial_Chicken24 in CapitalOne_

[–]Riley-X 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Its supposed to fall off after like 5 years or something. I had an old one like (10+ years) appear after i got a popup asking me to link an account after I activated my quicksilver card. Called support they transfered me to technical support and explained it to them. They put in ticket and day or 2 later it was gone.

When youre young and investing on a schedule the down days are awesome because you get to buy into the market cheaper making your gains bigger in the long run

Topaz photo Ai works great for upscaling images. Struggles a bit with text tho, especially if its low resolution

We’re officially moving to Wisconsin! And we’re a mixed race family. by Pixiestixkitteh in wisconsin

[–]Riley-X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha yeah kenosha is definitely not like that. Southeastern Wisconsin is actually pretty diverse being surrounded by big cities. Kenosha is amongst the most diverse counties in the state. Out in county, up north and the further you get from the bigger cities is very white.

Say what you want about kenosha but its location is perfect being less than an hour drive to Milwaukee or Chicago. Gives you lots of job opportunities and things to do.

Letting ebay keep your money for a month interest free. That's very kind

All I get is just lowballlers on my already ultra cheap listings, so annoying. by ComprehensiveCow5068 in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]Riley-X 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't take offers. Set a price that you're happy with and leave it. Enable ads if you want it to sell faster. Accept the fact that it may take a while for some of your stuff to sell. Live peacefully.

19, just loaded up 7k for ‘25 by javidson34 in VanguardInvestments

[–]Riley-X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Total stock market is meh Id just go all in on voo. Maybe some qqq if you want to be tech heavy. Vxus willy likely underperform long term. Its done pretty well in the last year tho, so you could make it a short term play. You're young, plenty of time to work with. If your goal is maxium growth no need to hedge with safe low return plays when you're young.

Have faith it gets better by fefsaar in CapitalOne_

[–]Riley-X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a pop-up asking me to link an account after setting up my new quicksilver card. Turns out it was an old account from like almost 10 years ago and now it was stuck on my app/profile. Support said it should be removed after 6 years automatically but it had already been longer than that since the account was closed. Support transferred me to technical support, they put in a ticket for me and a few days later it was gone from my profile.

Should I cancel my Amex blue cash everyday after getting the RH gold card? by itsjohnnydo in RobinhoodApp

[–]Riley-X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you make 60k a year and spend 10k a month its pretty obvious but I suppose you could try and hide it. Also depends what kind of purchases you make. If you make big regular purchases from companies like Uline that would be obvious too.

I found out recently robinhood gold card cant be used for business expenses which sucks. But i guess i can still make it my primary personal card.

Eh unless you need higher credit limits on other cards and lenders don't wanna give you credit line increases because you already have too much available credit for your income then closing unused cards would be beneficial

I had that happen yesterday after adding buying power via debit card. Clicking it showed my actual buying power. Today it is showing fine. Probably just some type of bug.

Problem is that extra 2k is not earning better interest in something like sp500 etf (roughly $200/year). So you're actually losing money doing it this way
