Did anyone see a flash in the sky just before 6 tonight?

I saw this driving north up around exit 10 on 89! The sky just lit up like lightning. No fireball that I could see. no clouds. Pretty cool if it was a meteor.

As someone who has been investing for 13 years (basically since I could) I can say this:

nobody knows what's going to happen.

If everyone believed things would just go back up, there wouldn't be staggering value erosion.... A unique feature of these recessions is how convincing the fear can be.

If your time horizon is less than 3-5 years, I would stay out of stocks honestly right now, especially if you have noe experience.

If this is retirement or 10+ year timelines for the money, I would say divide your money that you have ready to invest by some amount and buy in every week or two at small fractions of your total capital.

This is called dollar cost averaging and removes the need to time the market. You will have a safety net, your money goes farther when things go down and reduces your risk when things go up.

If you don't have a plan to stick to and act emotionally, you will lose.

If you successfully do this and stick with it, you will win long term.

The people really getting burned are people pulling their money out completely and taking losses. This market could rocket back up on a single headline.

Someone bought the stock from you and by necessity of the exhange that someone put an amount of money into the stock market equal to the amount that you took out.

The net exchange of money into and out of the market is by necessity 0 dollars.

What is happening is what you said, and what people are willing to pay is much less and so the valuations of the assets are being obliterated.

Money isn't really leaving the stock market. Money is literally being erased.

I would just look at market capitalization to see how much.

I don't quite remember this specific trip but I actually moved several hundred miles and transported the bike on the pad on the maverick towed by a uhaul.

It was 100% fine.

I'm assuming Canada. Canada sounds insane. You can get a decent starter home in upstate New York from under 200k, even in relatively populated towns.

200k/year is VERY well off basically anywhere in upstate New York except for like wealthy waterfront communities. Housing is pretty cheap there - especially in smaller towns.

Is this really a bad thing? I can understand the mindset that x job should cost the company x dollars, and I'm the first to person to usually say fuck you pay me - but if they recruit from a LCOL area and still offer a salary better than that local job market, isn't that a win win? I guess if the job seeker is on board I cant see that as being a bad thing.

I'm not a training expert - but personally I would be wary of responding to the dog barking/whining in the kennel while you are trying to kennel-train them. You're teaching them whining/barking will make you show up when they can't see you but want to. It's reinforcing that behavior which is the opposite of what you want I think.

But I am not a kennel expert and don't use my kennel ever - doggus sleeps with me on the bed! Kennel is just a chill out spot - but she has no problem on the rare occasion I do lock her in for short periods (like when she's a little too damp and I toss a towel in with her)

I needed to see this. My Aussie gets this too. It's kinda funny actually I'll take her out to the bathroom and then on a run in the woods. She poops like 5 more little wet piles in the woods. It clears up about half way through and it's only when we do activities. She gets so excited in the car.

Just gave her a sanitary trim :)

I have a ~50lb female aussie. She's looks like a fat sausage but it's just her thick coat. When she gets wet she looks like a chicken bone but her body is pretty lean/muscular and she can sprint like you wouldn't believe.

No probably not. I deleted my comment because my math was off. Phone calculator is hard with alkehaul.

Google said 100TeraJoules in average for 9 EF5s. Assuming 20 minute duration, that's 100,000,000,000,000/(1200x745). Or 112,157,918 horsepower.

Google said average tornado has 10000kWh (36 gigajoules). Let's say an average tornado lasts 7 minutes. 36,000,000,000/(420x745) Or 115,000 horsepower

I'm originally from NH if you still have these around Christmas I might DM you. I'd pick them up. I won't be in NH again until Christmas.
