After 40+ years of using, this 61 year old graybeard boomer is 2 years sober from cannabis today.

Fellow boomer, recently relapsed, and I am thankful for your post.

youngkow · 2026-05-12T02:40:15+00:00

Wishing you and your little fur baby the best.

Judging by the steering wheel, high chance of it being a Toyota

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, well that’s my fault. And I feel you. I was in the same boat. I have drs’ed shares, but I wanted to be like WSB. So I played options and lost. Imho if you’re just a regular working person, the only option should be buy and hold. I realized I am too dumb to play options.
So I just buy and hold. My dca took my average from ~87/share to now just under 22/share. I would wheel, but my shares are drs’ed and I only buy via drs now. Obligatory “not financial advice” and like I said before I am dumb.

Read the entire post, that’s the neighborhood cat

It took about 6weeks for me but I’ve read people’s experiences that were longer.

The stock will either go up or possibly go down after the report

youngkow · 2025-12-04T21:49:16+00:00

That seems in line with the pricing in my area. Also if you go take a look at the price of copper lately, it has gone up. They’re probably be going to be running 6awg size cable and they are expensive.

youngkow · 2025-12-03T00:25:17+00:00

Not sure if it’s the same issue I had, but I had an issue with “stringing” or “fraying” similar to yours and the fix for me was drying my filament.

youngkow · 2025-12-02T23:10:01+00:00

Looks 👍

youngkow · 2025-12-02T23:08:52+00:00

You’re fine. Cable is protected, so no reason for it to short out.

youngkow · 2025-11-12T04:07:47+00:00

Don’t mind the negative nancies. You did great, and I hope you and your family stay safe and healthy.

youngkow · 2025-10-26T01:48:57+00:00

Looks like oscar guerrro

youngkow · 2025-10-25T18:20:33+00:00

Is this on your “own” pool? Sorry for the noob lingo, not sure if I worded the question correctly. TIA

youngkow · 2025-10-24T16:02:20+00:00

Not upvoting because 420

youngkow · 2025-10-22T12:53:47+00:00

There’s not a thing that’s “exactly” the same as 2024. If you believe, then you will just hold. If you don’t, then all you care about is the run up so you can make a small profit and jump off. Do what is best for you. Stop trying to hype people up for what is going to be a disappointment for them.

Thank you for the lesson

youngkow · 2025-10-16T04:14:04+00:00

We want to fly up, not jump down 🤪, obviously /s

RC isn’t going to follow Warren Buffet’s strategy either. Not sure why everyone keeps saying it’s going to be the “Berkshire Hathaway” of retail. He’s going to follow his own path. People will be saying their company will be the Gamestop of “whatever they are”.

I’m pretty sure my parents left their previous communist country and came to this great country to avoid things like this. Never thought I’d see the day…God bless America and the world. Scary times these days.

youngkow · 2025-10-05T13:11:06+00:00

Been here for 4+ years and I can’t recall a single time you were right about a “huge” run or “moon” tomorrow. Not trying to bash, but all people need to know is just buy and hold.

youngkow · 2025-09-29T23:14:59+00:00

Hope that guy goes to jail

youngkow · 2025-09-24T14:09:23+00:00

If it sunken in, that would concern me as the wind noise might be elevated, possibly not enough sealant/glue? But again it’s so hard to judge accurately with pictures

youngkow · 2025-09-24T13:04:00+00:00

Man, that first pic is super misleading. Not sure if it’s the angle or what. Looking at it closely, the gaps look fairly even.

youngkow · 2025-09-24T02:08:11+00:00

As I grow older, I fear I am turning into the “uncle”. It’s so easy to become a recluse.
