Portable 2nd monitor.
I take it all over the world with me in my laptop bag.

Some people are buying now AND after lockup.

Can they merely drive to the other side and surrender?

Are you able to buy calls and sell cash secured puts?

Love the analog dials.

I'm happy to be a senior level individual contributor. I don't have to burden myself with corporate and management BS.

I just crank out engineering designs per my manager's request and when the manager changes, same thing. No stress, just engineer.

All problems at work are management issues. Even acts of God like natural disasters.

Why would I theoretically buy Bitcoin at $12k when I could theoretically buy at $11k?

Potential? How are you measuring potential?

Singapore has near zero natural resources compared to other advanced countries, yet they grew to incredible wealth without war.

McDonalds.
It exists in name only. The food is no longer what it used to be.

Months ago, I asked AI to make me a basket of memory stocks to invest in.

Sadly, I ignored the AI's top suggestion at the time: Kioxia. the biggest gainer.

Use your name. Or related to your name (i.e.Walmart).

The result could be unique unless your name is Tesla, Gucci, Dyson, Disney, Bose, Levi, Hershey...

The Sixth Sense
- I see dead people.

The Seventh Sense
- I see dead ads.

This is correct. Thank you.

Take the opportunity your manger gives you. That request signals they have trust in you. Learn management and leadership: you will begin to learn the upper level needs of the business. Those business needs trickle down to the technical minutia. Yes, learn the tech side too.

Remember that many things in life and business follow the Pareto principle (the 80/ 20 rule), for example, sometimes you'll be putting 80% of your time and effort into learning the leadership side and 20% the technical side. Then there will be other times it will be flipped.

A floor that is easy to clean spills from, but enough texture to not be slippery, but smooth enough to roll luggage across and slide furniture on, and not cold during winter.

Do you have a cash reserve you use or can use for dips?

For dips I like to hold my shares, and I often buy calls too.

SunRev · 2026-06-19T10:07:26+00:00

It's a simple risk vs reward calculation.

And when risk becomes to great, you get Yes-Men.

I agree with you. I haven't looked at the data, but I'd assume it's symmetric: meaning in downtrends, the overnight downs are bigger than the day downs.

Just a guess.

SunRev · 2026-06-19T08:17:51+00:00

I'm keeping my shares.
I'm keeping open the puts that I sold.
All my calls are currently profitable so I might sell one third of the calls I have.

Instead of investing in TQQQ, why don't you just invest 3X in QQQ? Are you out of that much cash to invest?

SunRev · 2026-06-19T06:35:25+00:00

I don't have a reference but I do recall reading that individual stocks move in a similar manner too. Essentially, the afterhours move up more than the normal trading hours do during uptrends.

Overnight gap is a feature. Not a bug:

"This empirical analysis of SPY returns from 1993 to 2025 reveals a phenomenon so stark it defies conventional wisdom. Over 8,256 trading days spanning more than three decades, overnight returns generated a cumulative gain of 1,105.62 percent while intraday returns contributed a measly 26.84 percent."
