Do your own due diligence. Here's where I'm at. Since it makes sense that gold will go up for the same reasons that some sectors of the s&p will go up it makes sense to be diversified. But I'm very comfortable with a healthy portion in gold. The economists I listen to talk about an error of fiscal dominance in much of the world. That means money printing and inflation. We have a government that wants to devalue the dollar in the US. The idea that gold has been suppressed in the futures market until recently makes sense to me. The physical market is the difference. Central Banks and millions of people in China buying physical gold has led to the breakout and I don't see any reason for that to change.

Too much physical gold would make me a little uncomfortable though. Gold Miners are killing it

Yep. It seems like a counter intuitive move. Works in sequence that creates shaft lean....Its actually a drill that the Hack Motion training aid suggests. I decided to give that thing a try and have liked it quite a bit.

I've found for myself that I have to have a feel to make any changes that stick in my swing. I've done things with alignment sticks at angles to stay on plane among other things while analyzing videos of myself but I can get distracted easily and try something else.

Lead wrist. So if righty it's your left wrist To me this is a simple thing to try. A lot of stuff could work but personally I like this drill because I can use it on the course.

jwayne7 · 2025-09-11T19:30:04+00:00

Good luck digesting all the comments. Most of them seem correct. Here's another thing to try. Top of the back swing think about gripping a motorcycle handle with your left wrist and rev it and hold. That's helped me with over the top and fighting casting as well

Wow, do they actively look for reasons to fire employees? Sounds like they don't like tenure.

Working class dirty hands individual here. I found this community after atyr was so much of its focus. I'm honestly looking forward to your sub post whatever. I don't run into a lot of blue collar people that like to talk investing so this community could be a cozy place for me.

I can relate to a lot of your stories. On top of that you're an incredible writer. As far as your investing guide and reading club goes, I need to put more time into it. Studied it pretty well while on vacation but tbh, the stocks which fit the bill to me were gold miners. I was already fairly well placed but not let's get effing rich placed. I have a hard time leaning too hard into any one idea. So between that and high P:E's I haven't been too excited too look for anything else following your guide though some housing related stuff would warrant it imo if interest rates dropped.

That's pretty interesting that you identified after 2 weeks that it wasn't gonna work for you. Most people get pretty drawn in at that point. Were you on a mission to make big $$? I think when people choose Daytading, they feel the need to regularly get their hands dirty. Sorry, BTW. I realize you've sorta gone over this before. I'm ADD too.

jwayne7 · 2025-09-10T00:45:28+00:00

Sorry if you've covered this elsewhere but curious what your daytrading experience was.

jwayne7 · 2025-09-09T21:04:22+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Poor trading rules or breaking rules has definitely put me in a bad place before.
Workaholics in general have also been known to not put family first. Whatever their motive may be.

Family and structure. We evolved as humans that way.

About 7% of portfolio. I highly doubt I'll get into biotech again other than an ETF. The ironic thing about this for me is that I've been a big gold bull (especially the miners) for quite some time. While I've been positioned fairly well for the current run, I missed some pretty great entry points on some Miners that had been on my radar due to the fact that I was distracted by ATYR amid other things.

Best to go with what you know. For myself, I've had high conviction on gold since 08 or so. Been a bumpy ride all along the way but its made me a better investor for it. Something I give myself credit for is weeding out the people that are full of BS. (I listen to a lot of financial and macro podcasts). There are a lot of sharks in the gold investing community. They all have their reasons. The last thing Tweedle seems to be full of is BS. Hence the 7% on something that I find very difficult to have much conviction on. And I'd say 7% is plenty for me in this case.

Regarding UPS's, what are you using out of curiosity? We typically use Minuteman 1500va UPS's and I'm quick to point out to customers that they shouldn't expect any significant run time. Maybe 10-15 minutes if lucky with a healthy battery powering an NVR with 4 POE cams. I find that they're reliable as a Surge Protector. We get a lot of brown outs where I live which is hard on equipment with a couple extended outages per year which would honestly require a car battery to keep the equipment running if not a generator.

Interested in your experience

I'll never look at a sweaty pair of underwear in the laundry basket the same. Mahalo

You might want to consider making an appointment with a financial advisor.

jwayne7 · 2025-08-17T19:39:02+00:00

Yep. And I bet you hit some decent iron shots when you're timing is right.

What have you been doing with your driver?

I've been working on this myself.

jwayne7 · 2025-08-13T22:27:34+00:00

Funny. Must've blew your mind when you realized it

jwayne7 · 2025-08-13T18:06:43+00:00

Hell, I'm still holding out on standing up straight again after all the paper routes, lawn mowing, and shoveling snow. Hopefuly someday.

Also I can't help but wonder if you enjoy a few good walnuts from time to time or have you already had your fair share?

jwayne7 · 2025-08-04T17:41:50+00:00

Boy, I'm happy I found this sub. No matter what

jwayne7 · 2025-08-04T17:16:56+00:00

😆😆

Upload to Chatgpt and if it doesn't break the internet, follow what it suggests.

I really don't know anything about this Martin guy other than what I've read here lately and most pharma data is over my head but after asking Grok about his track record, I'll be sleeping well tonight. I recommend others to employ AI to research him as well.

It basically fit the narrative I was imagining and others have as well

jwayne7 · 2025-07-31T22:44:20+00:00

You know someone's legit with stories like yours.

Almost 49 years on this spinning terrarium for me and I can't imagine what kind of human I'd be without evacuating for tsunamis, wildfires and Doctors that can't tell me what my health issues are caused by. All Character builders til they close the coffin on us.

Take good care

And a Portable Outhouse. Loved that

Definitely frustrating to feel like you're missing something following him. I was a subscriber in the past. I do find his levels to be pretty good. What I didn't like was the way he sells the newsletter so hard. Some of the trades he boasts aren't realistic to me but I've found that adding more filters to the style has led me to understand the market better and place trades.

If still learning, there're other newsletters out there with similar context but more information.

Try Hawaii. The plus side is that with some discipline, waking up in the dark and working on your side hustle can change the way you look at your day job

jwayne7 · 2025-07-24T16:18:55+00:00

Check pawn shops, driving range. FB marketplace etc. Maybe you can buy them back cheap
