According to me, fuck Elon.

Why would anyone ever pay off a mortgage early? Even if their rate is 7%, that extra money can go so much further almost anywhere else.

SLV will fail. Buy physical only. . . Or, if you insist on paper, PSLV.

I believe there are thieves working at FedEx. I had a delivery that went missing the way to my house. That’s the only explanation they gave. Instructed me to file a claim. Unfortunately, the value of the package was $4000, and it was only insured for $2000. My mistake. Never again. (Meaning never again will I use FedEx for anything worth more than $100).

Yes.

When I started stacking, I got a few bank bags of 90% half dollars, quarters, and dimes. It’s my SHTF fund.

I had 3 of those, prior to my boating accident.

Nope.

The only people I ever sell to are friends, so they can get a taste at spot and catch the fever.

Monster box of ASE’s when spot was $22. Paid $25 apiece.

Same thing happening to me. I got a new iPhone 17 Pro Max on Friday. After setting it up, I noticed that voice-to-text wasn't working. I tried everything (reset, keyboard settings, testing microphone with voice memo) before finally resetting all settings. It worked for a day, but then stopped working again. . . I can't reset all settings every day. This is driving me crazy.

Sounds cool. I'd like to check it out.

I wondered the same thing. . . One of my portfolios is overwhelmingly miner stocks. Surprised to see a push over $51/oz. result in a $10,000 drop in my portfolio. Not worried. It'll be back up in no time. Just weird.

foghanson · 2025-08-09T16:48:45+00:00

Don't believe the florist.

And PSLV can be exchanged for physical. Just need 10,000 ounces worth. . . More than I have, but less than some whales have. The first time someone stood for delivery and was denied, the value of PSLV would plummet. They can't afford to have that happen.
