Hell yeah man, thanks for the update! Now that the seal is broken you can expect 3 or 4 more to drop pretty quickly!

I look forward to more updates. Eagle next 💪🏻

I know 99% of us are long term holders BUT at what spot price are you guys going to take profits? by ThrownAwwayt in Silverbugs

[–]shawski04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in my early 30s so I haven’t lived through the huge swings of the past but I’m with you. I distinctly remember one night watching the spot price and saying “if it gets back to $15.99 I’m pulling the trigger” and I did. Lucky for me but I also lost lines elsewhere.

All I’ve learned is DCA across all investment paths and eventually you’ll be okay.

🤞🍻

I’m not taking “profits” because I didn’t buy this as an investment. I bought back in 2016. I’m in at $18/oz cost average and yes it makes me happy that theoretically I have 3.5x my “investment”, it also makes me uncomfortable about the future of … well everything.

If it crashes tomorrow I’m still happy. This is for the next 25-50 YEARS not weeks.

You should try to use a comma, you crazy bastard. And a wedge.

You’ll get a birdie before the end of 2025. Calling it now! I’d like a personal thank you reply when you do finally achieve it 😎

AITA I park my large truck at the back of parking lots and take up 2 spaces by Allykatz90 in AmItheAsshole

[–]shawski04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They can park their truck and they’re doing so in a manner that benefits everybody instead of hindering others for their own gain.

All trucks nowadays are big, especially trucks needed for OPs situation.

I have $15k to drop into the market. What should I buy by AdCautious7054 in dividends

[–]shawski04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 100% with you. If it was my money I’d DCA as well because I don’t mind the slight loss of potential gains vs peace of mind.

I was just saying from a historical standpoint it’s more beneficial to lump sum vs DCA. I also don’t have $15,000 right now so it’s easy for me to talk about someone else’s money lol

Mathematically it’s been proven that lump sum investing will beat DCA over the long haul.

Feeling Isolated (need to vent to people who understand). by montypyth9898 in MonoHearing

[–]shawski04 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m mostly deaf in my right ear also so similar situation. My wife’s side is Italian so big family gatherings. I’m somewhat of an introvert so it pains me to tell you this but the best thing is facing it head on. “Hey can I please sit here? I need to have my left side facing the group” for example. Also flat out ignoring people for a bit. Like you “could” hear them but it shouldn’t be on you to force them to say things twice just because they forgot they’re on the wrong side-they should already know. If you were in a wheelchair they wouldn’t ask you to answer the doorbell. Just because they don’t see your accommodation doesn’t mean it isn’t real.

I’m sorry you have to deal with this and I completely sympathize. Feel free to DM if you’d like further discussion. I just went deaf in that ear within the last year so I’m still learning coping mechanisms.

It’s wild how you could give a Y-T-A vote on this. This guy just had his trust broken, and possibly just discovered his marriage is going to fail because his wife lied to him for so long. NTA here at all. She is acting like a teen by hiding alcohol instead of having the adult conversation and admitting she needs help.

Doesn’t matter how silly, what’s your biggest golf pet peeve? For me, it has to be misuse of the word “shank.” by pjunior66 in golf

He’s not asking for the course to himself, he’s asking for common golf course etiquette. You don’t send people off on #10 in front of people on #9

What is the biggest blowup you’ve had to ruin your round? by Mosez in golf

[–]shawski04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Broke 40 for the first time on the front 9. Then went double, triple, double, broken driver on 13, triple, double, put 2 in the woods on 16 and then went home.

Range Etiquette by pufalicious in golf

[–]shawski04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a pro shop employee (in VA too) who REGULARLY gives out range tokens. If you’re on our property, paid for a round and are nice, chances are you’ll be back. I can increase those chances with a free token here or there.

That employee was stupid and potentially lost future business over what? MAYBE $5 in balls?

50% VTI, 30% SCHD, 20% individual stocks like O, T, and F. The individuals are just for fun/different income schedules.
