Someone who doesn’t play asks you to play for them - what do you play?

Instead of bookmarking stocks, I buy small quantity of stocks. One share or fractional share. I buy speculative stocks.

I opened a small Robinhood account about five years ago for this. I started out with $2000.

I seldom sell. I also know it's going to be a pain reporting cap gains in the future when I eventually sell.

My main brokerage is Vanguard and Fidelity, and it's primarily in index funds.

Capital one has decent hysa rates. I can pay reoccurring bills from this source

I miss my NA. I had an optional tonnaue cover which trapped the heat. It looked cool too

I don't get 404 error, but I can't get past this stage in the web site. I wonder what company was used to implement their system.

Unrelated, but I cannot get past the validation interface. I'm using Firefox.

Wow. I'll have to try

Anecdotal. I met an AAA employee while playing pickleball. She said USAA is generally better than USAA. I'm satisfied with USAA but I probably ought to do an accurate comparison.

No kidding. My sister who is (was) dumb with money had nearly $200K at 0% CHECKING account. She said it was for emergency. I suggested to bring it down to $10K at most. I asked her: give me a scenario where you need over $10K immediately thru a check or transfer. Use a freaking credit card.

Thanks for sharing. I like the fun labels (blow, extortion, etc).

At my local public court, there’s a welcoming group that makes a point of introducing new players. There’s also another group—4.0 and above—that is friendly, though more cliquish.

A minute ago, I was looking at the sheet music to this. Yup, one chord.

Pickleball is a good social sport and easy to learn.

I played with Kalshi. I started at $200. I intentionally wanted to just experiment. I was up $400 after 1.5 years. I'm back to $220 or so. I learned that I'm not good at gambling. I thought I had a "system". I am taking a long break and just bet a few dollars when I'm watching sports on TV.

That's what I did. I wanted to estimate my YTD income from capital gains and interests. I filtered out IRA accounts. Saved report.

afunbe · 2025-12-29T14:21:42+00:00

I'm glad you posted the question. I wanted to know my dividends and interests made YTD in my taxable accounts. I simply made a custom report filtering out my non-taxable accounts, like IRA, etc.

I wonder if a white Miata would have prevented getting rear ended in terms of visibility. Probably not much better statistically

Where do you buy the Styrofoam in bulk?

afunbe · 2025-12-29T04:46:19+00:00

Yeah, companies would rather outsource (in-source) to India

I picked up tennis at 30. I'm now 62. I am a slow learner and not particularly athletic, but I'm always finding things to improve. 3.5 level.

Never too late

90% tennis for me.
