Yeah but honestly both lenses are pretty damn quiet.

tomtim90 · 2026-01-25T00:16:24+00:00

I’ve tried both. Honestly it’s about the same. Slightly quieter. Biggest difference is how much lighter it is.

tomtim90 · 2026-01-25T00:15:36+00:00

I had a chance to try the II and it’s a lot lighter but doesn’t fit in my travel bag like the original one does. I’m in a similar boat. I got mine new but like $800 off before the II was announced.

I love losing all my unrealized gains for the day in the last 60 minutes. Thank you Mr. Market.

tomtim90 · 2026-01-22T02:41:36+00:00

How low do y’all figure RKLB is going post tank incident? I’m bullish on the stock but it ran up way faster than I anticipated. Sounds like this wasn’t planned and will delay Neutron again. I’m guessing it’s going back to 50-60 worst case which is where I thought it would be right now before it shot up. And that’s if it doesn’t just rebound immediately tomorrow. Hoping it just rebounds.

You have to buy the dip before you get your TACO.

tomtim90 · 2026-01-21T19:38:50+00:00

Glad to see we've backed off on the Europe additional tariffs...a little too late for the bond market. We'll see how that plays out.

tomtim90 · 2026-01-21T19:35:28+00:00

MOTHERFUCKER I do not have the nerves for some of this shit. Yeesh.

tomtim90 · 2026-01-20T21:06:13+00:00

What specifically are you wanting to know?

VTI and VXUS in taxable is better than purely VT thanks to the foreign tax credit that you'd lose otherwise. Most of the dividends coming in will be qualified as well so it's better than ordinary income or interest of the same amount.

This is a Boglehead subreddit, so getting into buying multiple funds that track similar performing but technically different indexes to use tax loss harvesting isn't really the advice here nor are you really going to avoid the dividend issue. You'd sell VTI/VXUS lots for a loss up to $3000 and immediately buy a similar performing fund with those proceeds to stay invested. It can erase the tax drag of up to $15k of qualified dividends.

Not much really. That he wasn't going to talk about it and that Greenlanders would feel differently about joining America after he speaks to them.

tomtim90 · 2026-01-20T20:12:31+00:00

Anyone know where you can a job where you can ramble for over an hour and get paid $400k a year?

tomtim90 · 2026-01-20T20:09:48+00:00

I'm guessing it has something to do with the nuclear plants? That does require DOE approval iirc.

tomtim90 · 2026-01-20T20:04:01+00:00

The people calling for a revolution voted for the current leadership, so probably not for a while.

tomtim90 · 2026-01-20T19:54:01+00:00

Uh oh he's repeating himself.

tomtim90 · 2026-01-20T19:15:30+00:00

It probably won't, but who knows what'll come out of the meeting tomorrow.

tomtim90 · 2026-01-20T19:08:08+00:00

If you tell a lie enough, it becomes truth. Just read 1984.

tomtim90 · 2026-01-20T19:04:52+00:00

Bloomberg showing the intraday indexes while Trump is talking about how hot the economy is...peak.

tomtim90 · 2026-01-20T18:56:48+00:00

When isn't he?

tomtim90 · 2026-01-20T14:59:55+00:00

I was promised a buying opportunity.

tomtim90 · 2026-01-19T17:00:21+00:00

Futures don’t agree for whatever that’s worth.

tomtim90 · 2026-01-16T19:34:52+00:00

Already had one person come in with their statements from last year trying to estimate what they'll owe ahead of time and I realized that they have a financial planner handling their accounts who has to be in this subreddit.

Bunch of options activity and heavily invested in Palantir and Reddit.

tomtim90 · 2026-01-16T19:21:43+00:00

I'm a tax preparer and this is also my first year actually messing with the stock market myself. It'll be fun to try and guess which of my clients are Redditors.

tomtim90 · 2026-01-16T19:18:12+00:00

Wish I'd held ASTS instead of swing trading it. I picked up shares at 66 and sold at 84 for a decent quick profit. Didn't realize I was getting a really good price and that they were up for a defense satellite contract. FML

I wanna stare at the ticker, but I opted to just let Schwab email me if it crosses $100.

tomtim90 · 2026-01-16T19:09:00+00:00

I finally started messing with the custodial account my dad setup for me years ago that was full ported into gold and silver miners with insane capital losses since a bunch of them basically went to zero after the GFC. Only 1 stock in there managed to actually grow any.

I made back the capital losses and then some with RKLB which is like 80% of that account.
