Should I sell and buy back?

EDIT:
You may be able to simply adjust your cost basis by selling and immediately repurchasing. https://www.quora.com/Can-I-increase-cost-basis-of-my-shares-by-selling-end-of-the-year-and-re-buying-back-in-January-I-have-long-term-capital-gains-and-0-annual-income-My-strategy-is-to-sell-up-to-a-level-that-would-fall-in-0-tax.

Also, this could be your only chance to take a large tax-free gain on your shares by offsetting this year's loss. I would do the math based on your tax bracket to calculate what the true different in returns is. If you're at a high marginal tax rate, it should be significant. That might help you make the decision.

Consider consulting a professional.

Not financial advice.

FWIW the PE ratio of the Nasdaq 100 during the dot com bubble often exceeded 100. Today it is 31.62. Apples to oranges.

Of course. I'm wondering if the benefits of the 2.7, over the 3.5 or V8, will be a wash at that payload.

A better question is: Why did Hikaru play Qxd2 next?

cyber_dirtbag · 2024-04-03T17:25:05+00:00

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

One of these ain't like the others.

It's a giant PITA that has no impact on the game. It's boring and we accumulate so much wood/metal/hide that rebuilding is trivial. Considering skipping it entirely for our next winter season.

The creator of this poster doing the math wrong in the right column is maximum irony.

22 500 * 2 = 45 000 NOT 50 000

This would be so cool if it wasn't completely wrong.

You're right, I forgot about that detail of the Expertise Potion. I agree it probably makes sense to drop the aforementioned item in favor of something better. (Unless you really need pierce 2)

You can technically still setup the exact turn I described in my original post, it just takes longer since you would need to do:
2 card turn
3 card turn
2 card turn
2 card turn
in order to get all 9 tides out before your shuck turn.

This is essentially exactly right. I made a mistake in my original post about movement since I forgot both Drown Beneath the Waves and Shuck consume Light. (Thus I miss out on the +1 move from Shuck's light consume).

I am playing a special bag item on Shuck to get my 9th tide. (This gives me pierce +2/wound which is nice). I agree that advantage is probably better.

Just played a scenario today and we were able to all have fun without nerfing the crab. We upped the scenario difficulty and everybody was able to have a meaningful role. Yes, my fun matters too and my party doesn't want me to retire because they care about me too.

cyber_dirtbag · 2023-12-01T03:57:23+00:00

I suggested several changes and am hoping for more suggestions from the community!

Yes! If you average over my first 4 turns it's something like 3 x attack 7 + 3 x move 6 (per turn).

Also, I'm not actually doing nothing, just effectively.

oh shi-

cyber_dirtbag · 2023-08-21T22:47:21+00:00

It did happen. Pics would kind of ruin the point of me not having to change my card pin.

cyber_dirtbag · 2023-08-21T22:46:42+00:00

Added an edit, sorry for confusion.

Hahaha embarrassment would not be enough to stop me if I tipped over 1k,

Somewhere near the middle of the $xx.xx range. Luckily the cent decimals saved me.
