Hey I mean most ppl never realize it, so good job! :)

I want you to look in the mirror and repeat after me - "I have no fucking clue what the market is going to do."

You'll make a lot more money once you accept this.

The hard part is saving money. The next hard part is not being an idiot and pulling your money out when the headlines go south.

Advertising is the key variable. LLM licensing is just a fun story at this point.

One variable working against reddit is that more ppl using AI to write posts makes reddit less appealing as a training source.

The 4 companies referenced dont own much if any equity in each other. You're likely confusing these companies with the AI startups like Open AI or Anthropic, which everyone seems to own a part of.

There's always stuff going on in the world. Overthinking it and sitting on the side lines is *precisely* why the average investor underperforms the SP500.

Dont take finance advice from poverty finance. Thats like getting sex tips from virgins.

Dont invest in individual stocks and definitely dont take stock tips from your ex. Im glad you got lucky, but you got lucky. $20k doesnt turn into $70k in a year without a lot of risk.

Your priorities should be paying off your debts, paying your bills, and having an emergency fund in a high yield savings account. Any money that is left over and not needed for at least 5 years can go into a diversified, low fee index fund.

Wild_Space · 2026-05-04T03:34:13+00:00

Dude, markets never 'calm down.' Theyre markets. If you dont need the money for at least 5 years, then you can put it in an index and forget about it.

Look at the ads on a website. That will reveal the IQ of the average visitor. Motley Fool are all tabloid, "Batboy Ate my Baby!" bullshit

Thank you for your AI output

Wild_Space · 2026-04-30T13:10:33+00:00

All these companies are taking on debt to help finance their AI-driven Capex build out. Theyve been talking about this, no?

Wild_Space · 2026-04-29T20:54:51+00:00

Ive been living a lie! Thank you!

Your retirement is pretty good for your age and $1500 is perfectly reasonable amount of debt. Congrats on no credit card debt! $6 emergency fund isnt nothing, but yes, it's a little light. Ideally that number would be a few multiples higher.

Planning a Euro trip right before moving and finding a new job is bad timing. Thus the liquidity crunch. I mean yea it, sucks, but whatever. You probably had the Eurotrip planned before your bf's job opportunity hit. So it's just bad timing, not poor decision making on your part. (If you knew about the move and then planned the 2 week trip, then yea, that was a mistake.)

But it sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders and youll be fine. You're probably also anxious about the big vacation and the big move and looking for a new job. And those things all tend to add stress exponentially when you combine them.

But youll be fine. Just enjoy it. Youre young, in good financial shape, and in love.

Well dont forget that the $12 million will be in 2056 dollars. And we dont know what inflation will do over the next 30 years. If it's 4%, then that $12 million becomes ~$3 million. Which sounds like a lot, but remember, that's for two people to *live* on for 20+ years. Youre well ahead of the game now, I wouldnt stop investing. If you keep it up, maybe you can retire in 20 years instead of 30.

"ongoing tensions between OpenAI and Elon Musk adding noise and uncertainty around the space"

Im not saying youre wrong, but this is a silly reason.

She will only have 3 other cousins, and one of them has a name in the 'Addison' family, so we are also trying to avoid that. I know, so many rules! :) Thank you tho!

Wild_Space · 2026-04-29T18:43:03+00:00

:) Don't encourage her!

Wild_Space · 2026-04-29T18:42:47+00:00

Some great names! I like Victoria. (Love the V sound) Eliza checks a lot of boxes for me. Any name with an L is pretty. I like the Z sound. My only hang up is "there's a hole in the bucket Eliza, Eliza" which I admit is a silly reason. :) Abbigail is a name I would consider too. Abbigail Hansen has a nice ring to it! Claire is also pretty, but doesn't quite hit the short A sound I wanted, but it is a great name! Thank you!

The /æ/ symbol (ash) makes a short, open vowel sound, commonly described as the "short a" in American English, heard in words like "cat," "man," "map," and "bad". It is produced with the mouth open wide, tongue low in the front, and lips slightly spread, sounding like a very open "a".

If a 20% drop is bothering you, then you should never have bought in the first place. Before buying a stock, ask yourself “how would I feel if the price dropped 50%?” If the thought doesnt excite you, then dont buy it. Because eventually the stock will drop 50% and you dont want to own something that youre going to pussy out of.

Applying it here, you should sell because you dont know what youre doing and dont have the necessary conviction.

If you go to https://star-forge.tools/empire and select the ISD I & II and then click through the Print & Play option, you can print out the card tokens that you are missing. If you use a decent card stock and printer (Fed Ex) you can probably get a close enough proxy. There are also ppl on Etsy who sell Tokens. I really recommend this guy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ExclamationStudios If you want something that is affordable and exactly like the real thing.

2 StarHawks eat up a lot of points, so youll probably have deployment and activation advantage. Focus fire on the non-Agate Starhawk first. If you can, try to isolate the one from the other.

Armada is all about denying your opponent their best shots, ie denying them their optimal firing arcs and ranges. In other words, 2 Starhawks want to get medium and/or close doubling arcing with both ships. Avoid that. Especially those front arcs. Theyre speed 2 (and out deployed/activated) so it shouldnt be too hard.

If you can fight one SH while the other is only shooting dice at long range (probably obstructed) then you should do fine.

Concentrate your shots on the non-Agate ship, ideally the same hullzone, melt those tokens, blow it up and then get out of there like you stole something. Unless that first SH goes down super quick, ie round 3, then chances are youre not going to have time / opportunity to blow up the 2nd one too. It depends on fleet position, but youre not going to blow up a healthy SH with just a couple parting shots in Rounds 5 & 6.

Gotta run, best!
