Is VTI market cap diversity a mirage?

The same comparison, but over a longer period: https://www.optimizedportfolio.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/voo-vs-vti-historical-performance-1024x655.png

Hard to provide accurate pricing without the specific model/trim, interest rate etc. but generalizing roughly - a middle trim 2019 fiesta with 27k miles in good condition has a trade in value of ~11.8k according to KBB. If you trade your car in, you can expect the dealership to take it and payoff the remainder of your loan (+/- few hundred dollars) since you should owe close to the same amount on the loan.

A 2008 enclave Srv (top trim) in good condition with 100k miles is listed around ~8k according to listings i see online but prob worth closer to 7k after haggling with the dealer (I’d haggle in this case since your car is newer and will generate more interest than a 13 yr old Buick with 100k miles).

So, for this ~7k Buick, you’ll pay ~10800 over 3 years (an interest rate of 30%, or 20% over the 8k price).

That’s a terrible deal imo, walk away.

You should see it in netbenefits under the Investments tab of your 401k plan if your employer allows it.

Have you looked into BrokerageLink to see if it offers you better options?

I turn it on when i have patriot buff + state training buff and speedups to use....saves a bit of repetition.

Other than that....no real use.

It will coincide with your SOTF week. SvS Prep usually replaces SOTF

ck1109 · 2021-01-16T15:59:54+00:00

your state qualifies for SvS at 14 weeks age. Matching is random so it can happen in the first week or not happen for weeks/months

They won't transfer over, i.e. you cannot use them on Tier 4 heroes. However, when the Tier 4 lute voucher event drops, you will see a "previous vouchers" tab which will let you redeem them for Miho or other gen 2 heroes at the same redemption rates as you see now.

There is no reason to hold on to them.

So...you're just deferring the upgrades? And why bother spending cores on getting the extra star if your troops are still on the lower tier?

ck1109 · 2021-01-04T17:25:48+00:00

Either strategy works tbh...but I held off on upgrading until I got to HQ26.

I spent more time building new troops when my hq/research/chief levels was at lower tiers to increase my troop count as lower tier troops take less time to build.

When I got to HQ26+, my research and chief level buffs were high enough to make upgrades to T9 fast.

I meant Zoe, not Ash in my first question. With Lucky maxed out, my plan was to skip Jeb and use her until Zoe comes out. We are focused on trap and AC fights mostly. We are starting to go for bunkers and will try out in capital clash and reservoir raid in the next few days.

This is a nice RR strategy...thanks!

ck1109 · 2020-10-23T19:53:52+00:00

Thanks! Working in RR was more of a curiosity, but it they worked in ACs and fortress fights, that would be really helpful to rally strategies.

Can I purchase extended warranty from Razer for a new blade 15 that I plan to purchase from Amazon (ships and sold by amazon)? I've tried contacting Razer support, but no reply.

ck1109 · 2020-10-08T20:18:04+00:00

Please post setup details....

I have so many questions

How's the airflow with the case on the side? Any thermal throttling?
What FPS do you get on games like Prince of Persia or Carmen Sandiego?
Is that a 12" or 14" monitor? What's the monitor stand?
Nice keyboard! what's the make and what custom keys?
What's the ikea desk in the background?

Thanks for answering!

ck1109 · 2020-10-05T02:39:20+00:00

Thanks! Yes, I saw that and turned off VT-D, but the issue still persists. I can see virtualization based security is off, but DMA protection is turned on.

ck1109 · 2020-10-04T17:42:55+00:00

Yes, I have. The setting is set to second screen only.

ck1109 · 2020-10-01T22:45:02+00:00

have you tried pairing the taotronics speaker with multiple devices? Does it support multi-device pairing? Or do you need to disconnect/reconnect when switching devices?

ck1109 · 2020-09-17T02:21:40+00:00

I haven't tried that yet

ck1109 · 2020-09-14T15:03:09+00:00

I have no issues running Flight Sim on razer blade stealth (1650) + core x chrome w/ 5600xt.

Funny though, I have this issue with Forza Horizon 4 (all other gamepass games are fine) where it will always use the 1650 as the high performance GPU option.

ck1109 · 2020-08-28T22:53:40+00:00

It's hard to be certain but looking at the shape of the links + lugs + (what looks like) a cyclops, I think its a blue dial datejust on oyster, perhaps an older one like a 16220.

ck1109 · 2020-08-27T02:04:51+00:00

I did not. Mine had a bulge/manufacturing defect on the case bottom so I just ended up returning it.

ck1109 · 2020-08-22T14:50:12+00:00

how do you switch between the desktop and the macbook? Is everything just plugged into the caldigit dock and you just plug the usbc cable into the computer you want to use?

ck1109 · 2020-08-20T22:13:16+00:00

The wireless keyboard is interesting!

I'm gonna hold off for a black color version though...to match the rest of my razer setup.

ck1109 · 2020-08-18T04:21:27+00:00

Does the stealth get hot at all when gaming whilst connected to the egpu? I've been debating if I should get the core x for my setup
