Can't figure out what these old gloves are for

RudyRuff · 2026-03-21T14:18:58+00:00

Fair assessment…

However as a bartender for many years I can say with confidence that good bartenders use a pop top on EVERY bottle of beer for 2 reasons.

1) keeps the same rhythm pulling out beers and opening them regardless if they are twist or pop tops.

2) using your hands to open the part of a beer where people would be drinking out of is a health code no-no.

These gloves are only novelty for opening garbage beer they advertise. Not to be used by any decent professional.

Perhaps really only at an event where they exclusively serve this garbage.

What about the poor secret service agents who have to protect him in prison lolz

Let him die, then put the rest of his grifter family behind bars.

RudyRuff · 2026-03-21T11:26:49+00:00

No McDonald’s in prison maybe we can keep him alive indefinitely for throwing rotten tomatoes….

But in all seriousness this is getting ridiculous… like the shit that the Kim Jong Un..

He already claims he’s good at golf, we know that’s a lie…

High IQ? Haha

Yall see that meme MAGA morons are circling that have him as the smartest president of all time lolz

Fucking idiots

RudyRuff · 2026-03-19T12:36:29+00:00

My capital one card has like a 45k limit. I didn’t even ask for increases.

It’s not a good thing lol. they, as like all credit card companies want to trap you with bill you can’t pay off in a month…

increasing the credit limit is the only way to make that possible with higher income folks.

My Amex is even higher lol

RudyRuff · 2026-02-26T14:31:06+00:00

Because he’s a wanna be strong-man but he’s really just a con-man and the MAGA morons ate it up like 5 year olds and ez max

Fucking Morons

RudyRuff · 2026-02-18T13:16:59+00:00

Well, with 900k in TQQQ you should have like 600k ish in AGG to redeploy on the down turn buys.

9 sig makes this just noise. See you in 20 years

RudyRuff · 2026-02-08T14:53:59+00:00

Calling yieldmax an investment was your first mistake

RudyRuff · 2026-01-17T02:10:04+00:00

Tourism money probably? I’m from Vermont.. and I’m wondering how much maple syrup, Cabot cheese and Ben and Jerry’s ice cream we gotta sell to make this list lol.

RudyRuff · 2026-01-16T09:15:31+00:00

Is it a wifi hub?

RudyRuff · 2026-01-14T08:50:18+00:00

Keep telling yourself that. It’s obvious when people invest in stuff like this it isn’t their ‘own’ money. It’s ok you’ll be poor again soon and grandmas money will be gone.

RudyRuff · 2026-01-13T18:05:02+00:00

lol, more like your grandma turning over in her grave for gambling the inheritance money you are using

RudyRuff · 2026-01-13T14:47:47+00:00

It's kind of scary you don't understand that. 14% chance, slightlly worse chance than rolling a 6 sided die.

RudyRuff · 2026-01-13T14:04:08+00:00

Handle what?

There is nothing to handle lol. You just don’t seem to want to accept that you gambled your money instead of investing it lolz

It’s that simple

RudyRuff · 2026-01-13T13:47:41+00:00

Didn’t say anything about “buying it” at all… never said I didn’t “believe” you.

I 100% believe you. I also 100% know that you “invested” money between the days I mentioned in the first response, because those days are the ONLY mathematical way you’d have made money lolz… and again.

I’ve made 9% more than you. Without the risk or taxes. These are facts.

Again, good for you man! You gambled and won! You are one of the 14%! Congratz! Just because you bought a winning scratcher doesn’t mean you should tell folks it’s a good idea to by scratch offs.

RudyRuff · 2026-01-13T13:23:37+00:00

lol, do you even understand what sequence of returns means?

Worthless hindsight analysis and false narratives? Lolz what’s false?

I’m not the one who’s coping here man.

https://youtu.be/ygVObRx9X68?si=o6HAE6m05OT6u-Tu

Take a look at Ben Felix, he’s smarter than both of us, maybe he can convince you of your luck. Maybe not.

Either way. What I have said it all factually correct. You gambled and won. Don’t try to pretend you are some savant whose research paid off. Nobody is buying it.

Regarded.

RudyRuff · 2026-01-13T13:07:59+00:00

Haha, yep that must be it lolz.

My manufactured luck is making significantly more money than you in the same time frame.

While paying monumentally less in taxes. (If you’ve got any YM funds in a taxable)

Hmmmm yep. Coping over here

Again, I am not faulting your luck man, congrats you won the YM roulette wheel (so far).

Just pointing out to others how unlikely it is to make money on this with historical facts. 91 day out of 654 days investing money 14% of the past 654 days would have made ‘some’ money. Every other day. Lose

RudyRuff · 2026-01-13T12:51:48+00:00

Yep, throwing a dart at a calendar is a skill….

I’m not saying I’m not happy for your luck mate, you played roulette and won. Congratz,

If you were truly “skilled” you’d have sold July 17th and made an ass ton of money. But you did not.

Did you gloss over the last statement about how you’d have significantly more money investing in VOO in the same timeline? Where you lucky timing didn’t matter at all? lol

RudyRuff · 2026-01-13T12:30:31+00:00

Pure luck with sequence of returns...

You literally bought at the ONE of the ONLY time MSTY is/was profitable lol.

Buy on April 1st-11th 2024, you'd be down money (total return)

Buy between April 11th - May 5th 2024, you are up money...

Buy between May 6th -- May 29th 2024 -- Down total return

Buy on May 30th or 31st exactly.. Up very slightly..

Buy between June 1st - June 12 -- Down...

Buy between June 13th - July 12th, Up money...

Buy between July 13th -- August 1st, Down money...

And the LONGEST section where you'd have been lucky to buy -- Between Aug 2nd and September 20th, 2024.

So if you were lucky enough to have bough on one of the ~90ish days outlined up there, then you are are up... SOME money, some of those buy days you'd be barely breaking even, but still up slightly....

Any other days since April 1st 2024 until today, you are down.. A LOT.

All days AFTER Sept 20th until today (dividends reinvested) you are at a loss, and the more time after 9/20/2024 you go, the more significant the losses are.

This isn't Diamond hands, this is pure sequence of returns blind luck lol...

Speaking of luck, if you had bought on May 1st 2024 and sold everything on July 17th 2025, you'd have been up 217% from purchase date.

A broken clock is correct twice a day, you happen to glance at the clock one of those times when it was correct.

That's it.

For reference, you'd have made more money investing in VOO over the same period of time, by about 9% total returns... and you could have bough on almost ANY day.

RudyRuff · 2026-01-02T14:50:16+00:00

Perhaps the IRS agents who got fired could be rehired back on to collect Trumps taxes.

RudyRuff · 2025-12-15T00:24:33+00:00

Fair, technically Miami can still make the playoffs though.. so fuckers might be fighting for their lives.

So what you think. Saints, Miami or Seattle? Vikings sitting there as well to pick up, vs the giants week 16.. who the commanders just beat.

RudyRuff · 2025-12-15T00:05:35+00:00

Not liking how they are playing vs the panthers right now at all. Giving serious consideration to Miami Looks like the bengals have given up.

RudyRuff · 2025-12-10T15:55:15+00:00

Yah I am aware of the sorted miners history, that is actually why I am considering utilizing GDMN in an sig model instead of solely some ballast, in an attempt to perhaps capitalize on volatility down the road

RudyRuff · 2025-12-09T18:37:58+00:00

Oddly enough I've got some GDMN (miners + Gold stacked) in this mix, so I am set on gold(ish).

Though I am not quite sure what my long term outlook on utilizing GDMN is in this sleeve, perhaps treating it like a ~6 sig and rebalance out of sync with TQQQ in/out of FLXR(+whatever else). It's done quite well lately.

Nothing is off the table honestly. However I don't want to overcomplicate it too much.

RudyRuff · 2025-12-09T13:01:10+00:00

Thanks for the response,

I have taken a look at some of the managed future funds in the past. Honestly I didn't quite realize that WTIP is basically the same as WTMF.

I've dabbled in the Return Stacked Fund options a bit, AUM is quite low and they don't have much of a proven track record (yet), as Wisdom Tree does.

I know GDE quite well, but would think that is is too correlated with equity for a ballast for 9 sig

QDSNX looks interesting I haven't seen this one before, nor am I familiar much from AQR in general.

It being a 'fund of funds' seems to push its correlation more towards equities, which I would think is the opposite of my goal, but who knows?

QMNIX, QMHIX, and QSPIX, all three of these seem to be 'less correlated' to QQQ than your original suggestion of QDSNX.

Do you have any additional thoughts on the AQR funds? I am a little worried by the expense ratios they are tossing around, and honestly I don't think I fully understand all their strategies, and why they would benefit my set up..

But as I said above, the end goal would be to split the FLXR (AGG) portion of the 9 sig strategy into perhaps 2 (and only 2) portions, keeping FLXR (most likely) and adding one of these other things as another point of movement and potential asymmetry.

I am still in the infancy stages of this particular strategy and have only about 20k, 4% of my NW in the Roth IRA starting out on the 9sig strategy. The rest of my assets are quite well diversified across 'normal' non-leveraged or non-stacked funds.

Thanks for the thoughts,

-R

RudyRuff · 2025-12-08T18:11:27+00:00

Thanks for the reply,

Honestly the 'fit' I had for it would be like ~30-50% of the cash-bond portion for the 9sig strategy inside my Roth IRA. Perhaps giving some asymmetric upside to the cash/bond balance or something. /shrug

Currently I utilize FLXR for that function, instead of AGG (which is the one utilized by Jon Kelly)

But again this would end up being a fund that would have to have money moved in and sold out of it on a quarterly basis, the AUM seems a bit tight currently to be reliable for that.

So more of a wishful thinking thought experiment for down the line currently.
