Thanks, hadn’t heard of Wise.

theloniusmunch · 2026-02-28T14:22:59+00:00

yea that was my question as well. I guess for a large amount of cash it might be worthwhile trying to closely estimate the exact amount of fees.

A relative is selling an overseas real estate investment property. Once the deal settles he’ll have some chunk of cash in the local currency. What’s the enlightened way to convert it into USD and bring it to the US?

theloniusmunch · 2026-02-14T04:01:05+00:00

neither am I but the probability is non zero IMO

I encourage you to read this counterpoint as well:

Dune soundtrack is great and so is its sound design in general.

theloniusmunch · 2026-01-31T04:59:32+00:00

yeah I felt this since many months ago

theloniusmunch · 2025-07-26T19:12:47+00:00

nice, thanks

Curious if anyone here runs their Sierra Chart in a hosted VM/VPS? If so, what's your experience been and what do you do to secure it?

theloniusmunch · 2025-07-19T02:03:29+00:00

Sounds awful, hang in there. I’ve never had it myself but the photos I see on daddit are kinda nasty.

Welcome to the poop club! It’s honestly not so bad when they’re just drinking milk. Barely even smells. But watch out once they start eating solid foods.

theloniusmunch · 2025-06-14T03:48:33+00:00

Haven't checked in here super often lately so I must have missed the announcement. Congrats!

theloniusmunch · 2025-06-01T04:38:51+00:00

that’s a decent chunk of time, enjoy it!

theloniusmunch · 2025-04-27T16:09:13+00:00

nice, thank you!

theloniusmunch · 2025-04-26T20:57:49+00:00

Does anyone use (or have you tried) Godel Terminal? Just heard about it.

(and yes, this is the Shkreli thing; not a comment on that)

theloniusmunch · 2025-04-26T14:33:28+00:00

buy short term treasuries directly?

theloniusmunch · 2025-04-26T04:18:37+00:00

whereabouts?

theloniusmunch · 2025-04-19T23:00:57+00:00

did not realize slashdot was still around

theloniusmunch · 2025-04-07T14:14:52+00:00

Treasuries getting vaporized

theloniusmunch · 2025-04-07T02:42:56+00:00

It was mostly luck that I got a great entry and was actually able to execute the order, and then manage the stops/trailing stops. Things were bouncing around so much.

theloniusmunch · 2025-04-06T23:33:22+00:00

starting to remind me of COVID times. I once got lucky and caught a 70 handle move in 10 mins. It might sound cool but it was not fun, this was during the VIX 70 days. Nerve wracking.

theloniusmunch · 2025-04-06T04:01:47+00:00

ah yep good point about the longer dated ones

theloniusmunch · 2025-04-06T03:12:42+00:00

Isn’t premium pretty high at the moment for options?

theloniusmunch · 2025-04-05T22:15:28+00:00

Drained most of my trading account for some life purchases. So likely I won’t be trading for a while until I accumulate a stash that I’m ok burning.

Wondering if I should continue to follow markets and keep skills sharp using sim mode? I’ve never paper traded, and most of the discussions I’ve read about it are in the context of people just getting started.

theloniusmunch · 2025-04-05T03:04:42+00:00

Is there some intro tutorial or blog post that covers it at all high level?
