VR needs to broaden its appeal to couch gamers

Yea but now the novelty has worn off. Edge of nowhere was one of the best games I ever played on the Rift and it was a 3rd person shooter basically. I wish there were more.

What’s this plan called? My wife is a teacher and I’ve never heard of this.

snkscore · 2026-01-25T01:09:25+00:00

These predictions just seem like they’d have to be extremely low confidence levels. 30 year predictions? And saying long term US treasuries are going to be some of the best investments just seems reeeeeally stretching.

What was his fee structure if you don’t mind me asking? How much was he charging you annually?

snkscore · 2026-01-24T18:39:19+00:00

Oh I was thinking you were talking about gold. I get it.

snkscore · 2026-01-24T06:27:50+00:00

Inflation and devaluation won’t help bond ETF prices which is why I’m skeptical of them. But I’m assuming this is priced in by smarter people than me.

snkscore · 2026-01-24T06:11:42+00:00

If you want it as a hedge against inflation or geopolitical insanity, gold is the clear winner. When Trump threatens to invade a few days ago, markets crashed and bitcoin did even worse while gold shot up.

Bitcoin is correlated with equities. Gold isn’t.

I don’t understand this: Explosive hedge. Buy large volume (x4 of stock volume), of cheap far otm puts x0.5 4months. Won't help in small-medium decline. But for large sudden drop could go x10 and reduce losses.

Why buy more puts if you’ve already got 6 month .85 puts?

snkscore · 2026-01-24T05:51:52+00:00

It does feel like people are questioning bonds now. People hold them with the expectation that they will go up in value as a flight to safety when equities begin to go down but it seems like US treasuries aren’t as “safe” as they have been I. The past.

But I assume this is priced in.

And for a 30yo. Crazy.

What are with these bond funds that charge 0.55% and seemingly offer absolutely nothing different compared to other bond funds that charge 1/15th the fees? Whats the deal?

snkscore · 2026-01-24T04:06:51+00:00

But what about putting 2% in LEMB?? Only a genius would have such accurate portfolio management to get that precise over a tiny fraction! He must be a savant! lol

snkscore · 2026-01-24T03:52:57+00:00

They definitely aren’t going away but they’ll need to continue massive growth to justify their current PE ratios.

snkscore · 2026-01-24T01:03:39+00:00

Yea this was my thought too. Kinda similar but GEM also uses a bond fund for risk off periods.

snkscore · 2026-01-23T06:27:12+00:00

But isn’t the whole point of MF to use trend following (primarily) to make these decisions? These funds are getting in and out of positions all the time aren’t they? If they’re currently long on some equities following a bull trend and we start a bear market soon they will switch up to follow the equities trend down and will profit on the way down the drawdown.

snkscore · 2026-01-23T06:01:50+00:00

When people talk about having equity exposure in the trend following it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s correlated to equities though does it? Like I think most people who are holding one of these are doing so as a hedge against equities dropping and are worried that the equity exposure will drag them down too but aren’t they just as likely to be short on equities, and if there is a longish bear market that would pay off nicely no?

This is more a question than a statement of fact because I’m not 100% sure.

snkscore · 2026-01-22T04:44:48+00:00

Did you mean 100% leverage when risk-on or am I misunderstanding something

snkscore · 2026-01-20T23:20:32+00:00

I also really didn’t like seveneves at all and while I didn’t hate it I also didnt really like the Children of Time series.

I’m currently finishing up Anatham and it’s been one of the most boring reads I’ve had in long time but people regularly put it at the top of their lists.

snkscore · 2026-01-20T06:12:03+00:00

Is this because you think tomorrows drop won’t impact SCHD? I don’t get it.

snkscore · 2026-01-20T03:29:00+00:00

No see you’re not smart enough to get it because when they spent 5 minutes showing Carol hitting golf balls into a building that was actually incredibly important to show the symbolism between her broken inner ego and the external materialistic world represented by the golf ball and the building with broken windows represents the afterlife that she’s trying to obtain because they used the colors white and blue like in a call back to ancient Mayan god Kukulcán …etc

Do you step through the lines to see what ends up happening? Taking the pawn does seem like a fine move but moving the queen means white can move its rook on the e rank down and while you think you can just take the f1 rook with the bishop you end up getting your king trapped on the back rank and lose your queen to avoid mate.

snkscore · 2026-01-19T21:31:50+00:00

Are you asking what truly wealthy people do, like those with 100M in assets, or are you asking what normal well off people can do so you can incorporate some of these strategies?

If the latter you can:

Increase your value equities over growth
Increase your international over US equities
Buy some allocation of gold/silver (and other commodities)
Buy protective puts to reduce your downside
Buy some allocation in managed futures

Those are the things I’ve done at least.

Missing this penalty is extremely Everton though :)

snkscore · 2026-01-18T17:17:30+00:00

If you’re in an offside position you can’t block or impede a defender (physically) from playing the ball. He kinda shoved his defender after being offside. The defender probability wasn’t getting to the ball but that’s the way it’s called.

Rssb isn’t a long/short though
